Here's a cool website for that special prudent place just in case. They range in cost from 500.00 rusted to 1500.00 perfect. Best solution yet for survival units.

I watched something on satellite about building houses out of these. I think it's a really neat idea.

The house still cost something like 100k or so.

That is much better than an old box car.

Looks like an extremely solidly built home. Shouldn't blow away in a tornado if it's installed properly, too. Might be noisy in a hail storm, though.

Bet the shipping and handling charges would be higher than most packages we receive, too.

I saw that tv story about the abandoned shipping containers and agree with Oxford that they would make a great tonado shelter for area like OK and others in that "belt". They have become a problem for CA. I wonder why they don't charge a "deposit fee" for each and every one unloaded from the container ships and get them retruned from where they came? Seems simple enough and works for beer cans in MI! You hardly see ANY cans beside the road there. I would think a $1,000 deposit on each one unloaded would do it. Otherwise, the port gets the $ and they can sell the container for scrap or other purposes.
What do you guys think if that idea?

For mortar bunkers. They put sand bags on top. Many a soldier has slept in one. Oxford is right about the hail though. With falling ice from airplanes these days....

I would LOVE to have 2 of them buried on my property with concealed hatched entry ways, led lighting, pitcher pump well, concealed ventilation, marine type toilet system...I would be the "Moleman"....

[frozentorso]

With the price of scrap metal so high I cant see why there's a problem.
