Garbage Cans

Garbage Containers

Plastic/rubber (even galvanized) garbage containers are in the same price range here. They have countless uses. They can be bought and stored (stacked into each other) 'til the Big Event. Food can be stored in them after the ground stabilizes (post pole shift). The holes can be "roughed in" shortly before the pole shift. Bury the containers in the ground so the top rim is just above ground level (non washout area). Place these in different locations to "squirrel" away your community food supplies. Be sure they are not punctured or leaky, then add enough weight of food/supplies so that hydrostatic pressure does not push them up out of the ground.

Use silicon caulk around rim to seal the lid so that water, insects and vermin cannot intrude. After placing the container into the ground to near rim level and sealing lid, you can camouflage (without crunching the lid) your storage using dead leaves and branches and/or other obviously useless debris. Be sure you remember where your storage is located. After unearthing your stores, the containers can be reused as mini-root cellars, etc. or removed for water storage, hydroponics, etc. Remember, it is absolutely essential that you seal the lids and protect them from being “crunch unsealed” in order to avoid intrusion of moisture and pests. Insect consumption for survival notwithstanding, I would rather eat my beans than ant larvae any day!
