Re: A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank
I started a similar project with a coffin pod type box,but gave up. It would never work. You will be forever sealed under feet of mud as the water settles. Secondly any survivors will face a slow death from disease/starvation.

What a dumb fucking idea. You'll have a one in six chance of the door being face down. You'd probably have a 50-50 chance if you just grab your get out bag and head for the hills. Move now to the hills and you probably have 90%.

Re: A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank
I am modifying a large safe to be a sort of pod that I will be able to survive in when 2012 comes and there are mile high tsunamis. As this massive wave approaches I will lock myself in my padded safe where there are 2 oxygen tanks, food and water. After the massive tsunami hits, I will safely swim up with my inflatable raft and search for dry land.

Re: A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank
strangely enough i was thinking about this very same situation the other day.

I was thinking about surviving in a 2012 movie scenario and decided that it would so very much easier than you might expect to survive the initial wave. I was thinking of a round ball like pod with a loose rotating outer round shell that would turn and kinda ride the wave, or a ball that is fixed onto the ground that you can release after the initial wave goes over but you have to half submerge the ball in the ground so the wave would pas over it.

Good luck im hoping to see the video on youtube

Re: A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank
YES, you will HAVE to releive external water pressure, which at only 10 feet IS 624 pounds PER square foot of the door. So, a six square foor door surface will have 3744 lbs pressure on it.

At 30 foot depth, it will be 11,232 pounds to force open.
Never depend on your arm muscles in such circumstances. Always
use your legs, as they 5-7 times the muscle of bicepts.

Avoid the whole mess, by moving NOW to mountains at LEAST 600-700 feet ABOVE sea level, AND, if possible, with intervening mountains BETWEEN YOU and the oncoming tsunami, as they will absorb the initial blow of the wave.

My underground shelter is 740 feet above sea level, with two foot thick concrete reinforced walls and 10 inch I-beams on the concrete ceiling. All concrete can withstand 333 Lbs/sq. INCH overpressure, just in case there is a nuclear air burst nearby. There are several mountain ranges between myself and the sea.

By the way, you have NOT thought about long term survival, where seeds, tools and plantable land are involved.

THINK MORE; develope better plans, OR, just die slowly, instead of quickly.

Peace.

Re: A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank
just go to tractor supply and get the largest water sistern they have...i think its about 1500 gallons....perfectly sealed.....you'll get tossed a bit, but when everything settles, you'll be on top of the water in your own boad...then you can cut the opening open larger and have a nice little boat....plenty of room for all you need....

strap yourself to the floor so you dont get tossed...cheap, efficient and failsafe...

In case the catastrophe batters your safe around, and you become entombed inside of it, unable to open the door, make sure you have a gun in there, in a plastic bag to stay dry, so you can blow your brains out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on improvements or perhaps an opinion if this will work or not?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 667950


Yeah, a big one.

Don't make something that stays under water, that would be a huge mistake as potentially it could be buried under a hundred feet of muck.

Make something armored that is designed to float.

A good start would be a standard shipping container.
