A Large Safe and an Oxygen Tank

No. he just got the H1N1 vaccine.....

The sistern is a big plastic drum that is sealed. the opening on top is a screw in....you can rig it to screw it tight from the inside....then, you pack your sistern with everything you need, food, water etc....

cant sink..much better than a heavy safe....too many ways to get trapped OP...

I am advising any hawaiian who has constructed one of my safe capsules to get inside NOW!!!! Make sure your oxygen tanks are good to go!!

I am advising any japanese who has constructed one of my safe capsules to get inside NOW!!!! Make sure your oxygen tanks are good to go!!

Idiot.

and how do you know where your safe will end up? What if it ends up face down and you're unable to open the door? What if you end up at the bottom of the ocean?


Doesn't matter though. The types of tsunamis you're thinking off will CRUSH that safe.

Awesome, OP!

Why make it so difficult on yourself? Do like this dude in New Zealand and use your brain for something inventive.

This is definitely scary stuff, OP. Do you have family and/or friends you can prepare with? Good to have someone close by to make plans.

how about a floating safe that the properties of the alien technology of 1947 UFO tin foil...

congress is passing a bill to ris red ride in fresh water ways. . these red tide started after clean water act was passed. PS run off from industrials decades ago killed algae dead in local strong water ways.

WATCH OP'S VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING...AND THEN GO EASY.

i did watch his video...he really needs to be talked out of his idea.....i think he will do it.

I'm not telling you not to.

Safe. Um no.

Barrel - maybe.

Not just any barrel, it has to be a barrel made of steel - welded steel in a barrel shape.

You also need to think of flotation - so make it a double walled barrel with spray foam insulation between both walls.

The exterior needs to have rubber on it. Think Tug boats with old tires attached so they can push against ship hulls without damaging their own hull.

Oxygen tanks may sound like a good idea, but no you do not want to pressurize the barrel - it will burst... eventually. Instead you need to think of a CO2 scrubber - something that removes the CO2, leaving the pressure about the same.

If you do a double hulled barrel shaped 'pod' you will have the advantage of the barrel shape to help prevent the pod being sucked down in maelstroms (whirl-pools). The barrel shape has been proven to be very effective.

Have your supplies, water, sewage, CO2 scrubbers on one side which becomes the 'floor'. While the waves are flowing your barrel will roll and pitch and yaw something awful, but as long as you have all the weight on one 'side' the tendency will be for the barrel to right itself in calmer waters.


Figure you will be in your barrel for a good 20 months - so carry lots of drinking water an think recycling water. Of course storage of wastes and of course (at the very least) 2 years of food.

So this barrel is getting a bit larger...

i've always thought how cool it would be to ride out the apocalypse in a hot air balloon. of course i'd have a raft for when i ran out of hot air. what a view i'd have!!!

still alive op?

Muahahaha!!!


I got to rate this thread 5 stars again!!!

This world will be destroyed by fire. Not water. better to read old prophecies. SU was tested. Survived. Not the case of US.

thought about this before.

a large plastic barrel made of fiberglass that you
enter from the top. Designed to keep you upright.
Bouancy is key, you don't want to be under anything.
for any amount of time.

The hatch seals to barrel with a valve that can be opened
to get air from outside when stable on the waters surface.
A long extended tube on the top would prevent water from splashing in, a snorkel type fixture.

Would never work on the coastline but inland you would
be able to escape the flooding and stay on top of the
water.

Supplies would be limited but you could incorporate
other sealed barrels to your life pod that would make
you safer and more stable as far as floating on the
surface is concerned.

this is doable and within reasonable cost.
it would work but who knows what you would be
dealing with after.

unless the safe is planted door side down on the ground of the ocean floor

Genius op...pure genius.

PMSL...........fucking hell my stomach hurts :)

lololololololololololol.......ive pissed my pants........lololololol

straight oxygen can b very explosive - I would recommend going with a rebreather:

Do u understand the effects the pressure will have on the safe? Look into it, u may have a little problem getting the door open.

If u have not, I would suggest taking at least a basic diving class.

Buy a submersible, but there pricy:

the bitch will be under a hundred feet of mud and no way out. You need enough warning to launch a balloon cause such a shift means short term major instability. You have to stay up for days

A strong plastic pod with 5 levels ,air in between,that floats below water level?
