  • If you're going to vacuum seal it, why not just bury vacuum seal the items themselves?

  • @PsykoWaffle - durability and redundancy . . . the cache tube adds a great deal of durability over just the vacuum bag and the vacuum bag adds an extra layer of protection over just the tube. Hope that helps.

    Of course on can do this many different ways . . . this is just my approach.

  • where can u buy the test Plug

  • @curtispa - Home Depot or Lowes

  • @USNERDOC - I am surprised your Home Depot or Lowes doesn't carry them. Try a local commercial plumbing supply. These are very common fittings used in low pressure testing of plumbing waste, vent & drain installations before passing final inspection.

  • Dude you used the cheapest material available, ABS is shit... Why would you mislead everyone to think this would be secure? You could break this ABS schwagg just putting it in the ground!

  • @Maxster42 - sounds like you need to post a video and share your expertise. I am just sharing what I do. I am well aware there are better ways to do many things.

    Dude you do not have a clue; Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styren­e ABS pipe is approved by the International Plumbing Code for direct burial. While PVC is more common these days, ABS is still used in some locations.

  • Great video. However when you vacuum seal your pipe it would be better to seal the bag at the opposite end to the wing nut. Even if the seal comes undone the wing nut would still have some protection.

  • good vid , thanks for sharin bro :)

  • Great video.

  • what happened to the pdf i needed it badly.

  • i wrote a book called / MY UNDERGROUND BUNKER by DAVID SIMONSON @ LULU.COM

  • What are your thoughts on using a 5 gallon plastic bucket and a gamma seal lid?

  • GearPods Connect is a purpose-built container system designed specifically to meet the demanding needs of modern adventure and survival gear. GearPods containers are available in four lengths (from 1.5" to 6.0") and are open-ended. Each end of a container accepts either a GearPods Terminator or a GearPods Connector. Single-threaded GearPods Terminators act as end caps whereas double-threaded GearPods Connectors serve to connect two units.
