Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1002285you should bury it below the frost line. check out the frost line depth, contractors know the frost line because they have to dig concrete footings beyond the frost line so buildings don't heave. army surplus companies should have water tight containers to bury your stuff in. I would double bag it in thick plastic bags and then put it in airtight container and then bury it below the frost line. be sure and make a map based on immovable objects so you can find it again. trees may burn down, highways torn up...GPS probably won't work.....so figure out a way to identify exactly where you bury it. if it's ALL freeze dried, you probably can bury it at a more shallow depth. |

I agree with above poster, you'll have to get below the permafrost to bury them where the temperature is pretty much the same year round.

Wshtf, it will happen so fast you will need your resourses like right now. Get you a place where you can fortify, and stay stead. Burying will bury you. Fishing and skiing keeps me a little sane. |
Dr. House User ID: 717743 United States 06/13/2010 10:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Go to the local or nearest building inspectors office. Ask them what the frost line depth is. Its most likely between 2-3 feet in depth. This means that at this depth the soil does not freeze, there is too much mass for the cold to penetrate this deep. As for storing them in "something" plastic containers - preferably something that is sturdy. However if you are going to go to all the trouble to dig this hole, you might as well lay in a foundation and simple walls with a supporting roof followed by a 3 foot deep layer of sod. If you really want to be nice and special about it, you would line your roof with a heavy grade plastic, and 3-5 inches of #2 gravel (for drainage) followed by a water permeable net then the soils. Leave one corner, or a side 'tunnel' to access it. If the soil is sandy then you do not have to worry too much about rain and snow melt. If it is clay then you need to think drainage. This would be a drain pipe leading to a lower elevation set in a 'floor' of 6-8 inches of #2 gravel. But once you start down this road we are talking 'root cellar' and if you are going to build one just build one.

Quoting: please help 1002285what should i bury all of this shit in? will the cold of the winter effect my foods? please help. #1 Make sure you are at an elevation of at least 800 meters (more than 2600 ft), away from any large city, and you have a natural water supply (river, creek, stream, spring, or well); two water supplies are better than one. #2 Buy an old beat up footlocker (steamer trunk) and leave all the old tags and stickers on it. Put the food inside wrapped inside a big plastic bag. Then hide the trunk in the crawl space of your basement. Here's what the Zeta's say about Canada during and after the pole shift: [link to www.zetatalk.com] All of Canada fares well during the coming pole shift, and depending upon its altitude will fare better after the pole shift than before, due to the climate changes. Canada in the main is not criss-crossed with earthquake faults of active volcanoes, and thus suffers less from the direct effects of earthquakes and exploding volcanoes during the pole shift. Due to the shifting crust, most surviving Canadians will also find themselves in a warmer climate too. Canada will be positioned above the equator in a temperate zone after the pole shift, in a wamer strata than at present. Where Canada is an ally of the US government, it is not all that comfortable with the giant to the south, and will rebel against any attempts to control Canadian lands after the pole shift. However, within Canada there are many factions that will battle with each other for resources. Where the Canadian people are resourceful and used to living in a harsh land deeply frozen during the long winters, in the cities as in all industrialized countries, the populace is soft and will be unprepared for Aftertime living when food stuffs are not imported. Religious factions, racial unease, and class differences will create tensions in tight times beyond what is already experienced, and should be anticipated. The worry Canadians should be concerned about is one that will sneak up on them, in the days leading into the pole shift and in the two years following. Much of Canada has a low altitude, and where land lies lower than 650 to 700 feet, this will be inundated within two years due to the melting ice caps of the old poles, now under the equatorial sun. Much of Canada is low lying land, as is much of Russia. When the Earth stops rotation, water slung toward the equator will drift toward the poles, creating some inland flooding in land near the poles. After the shift, when the poles rapidly melt under the equatorial sun, melted water will move toward the point of least resistance, which may often be inland if blockages occur. In any case, if one examines the sea level of land in eastern or northern Canada, one can see that the land will not be above water when the poles have completely melted. If situated in an area due to be inundated, survivors will have to repeatedly move ahead of the encroaching water, and take care they are not trapped on an island in the process! For readers other than in Canada, here's where you can look up how the Zeta's say your location will fare during and after the pole shift: [link to www.zetatalk.com] |

Bears will be a problem...not because of your stash but because they will see disturbed ground and begin to sniff around and dig....they are just naturally curious bout stuff such as that. Find a crevice and why worry about freezing freeze dried??? |

Seal the doors with tar and felt and then bury it. If you really want to do it up, weld 1 pipe at each end in the top for ventilation and another 2 pipes for wood stove air intake and exhaust... Cheaper than that would be 55 gal drums.
