Safecastle: owned & operated since 2002 by your
 Victor Rantala
M. Brooks, 1/20/12: "I figured the 'lifetime membership' offer was too good to be true ... I began to order products and am absolutely amazed! The service is incredible; each time I have contacted Mr. Vic, I get an immediate response. He has always been kind and considerate and very professional and stands behind his word. The membership perks are phenomenal. Because we are at such a critical juncture in our world, preparedness has become big business and there are a lot of folks in it just for the money and provide substandard products and services. I believe Safecastle is really a ministry to those trying to prepare ... It is truly a first rate outfit, selling quality products at a reasonable price, owned and operated by a man who has a servant’s heart."

Bury 'Em Tube Model 8L

Item Number: 00063

BURY 'EM! model 8L
40" x 7 7/8" interior
Shipping wt. 37 lbs.
If items you want to bury are too wide for our 6-inch-diameter models, you may have to step up to our largest-diameter BURY 'EM! tube. Because the volume is almost twice that of our 6L model we included four Mylar liners (one double liner is not quite big enough) and two lengths of cotton tubing to line the Mylar. This model is considerably heavier due to the greater wall thickness of the PVC pipe and fittings. We even doubled up on cotton parts bags and cord leashes, 10 bags and 6 leashes for each Mylar liner.
BURY 'EM! 8L kit contains
1 pressure-tested 8-inch PVC tube
4 olive drab military Mylar bags 12"x60"
2 knit fabric sleeve (makes two sleeves joined at bottom), 7” x 96"
20 cloth drawstring bags 6" x 10"
12 colored cord leashes for bags
4 sealed bag O2 absorber packets (Open only at last moment.)
2 alcohol cleaning pads
The BE-8L model uses an expanding neoprene rubber stopper, tightened by means of a wing nut. All original stopper metal parts were replaced with stainless steel for long-term underground exposure.
 Open end of tube was reinforced to double thickness to avoid any possibility of stress cracking from tightening expansion plug. Because expansion plugs are only designed to prevent water or air from escaping past their inner surface we modify them to discourage moisture from getting into the plug from the outside.
We made a tight-fitting neoprene washer to fit over the stainless steel bolt on the outside of the expansion plug, covered with a stainless steel washer, then we heavily waxed the bolt threads.
However, should any moisture enter the plug, the combination of the expansion ring and the neoprene gasket under the carriage bolt head on the inside will prevent air or moisture from entering.
Tools needed
non-stick-surfaced clothes iron
broomstick, thick dowel, or narrow wood scrap
scissors
pliers to tighten or loosen wing nut
vacuum cleaner
3 - 4 plastic five-gallon buckets
tarps or sheets of heavy-gauge plastic
shovel, hatchet for roots, other digging tools
rope to make carrying strap
 During turbulent economic and political times it makes good sense to keep caches of important items in hidden locations away from your home. Properly used, your BURY ‘EM! tube can boost your chances of accessing a backup supply of essential emergency items in case your home position is compromised.
Your BURY ‘EM! 8L tube will hold 5 to 7 weeks’ worth of dry, concentrated food (minimal air space) for one person, or shelter and clothing items, valuables, first aid materials, or a variety of emergency and survival tools and equipment. |
