>>1730392Thank you for your feedback anon, but let me argue with you a little.
Having the option of padlocking it is preferred for cases when I might be away for a month or more. I don't like the risk of someone padlocking me in from the outside, but I'm already in trouble if they found the shelter in the first place and I'm reasonably confident I could exit through the roof as I said in another post.
For getting gear in, I think a rucksack could go through that entrance and that will do. For things like shelving on the inside, they could be put in the tank (disassembled) before it is even buried and then assembled later, as a one-time matter.
I agree that one of the air pipes needs to be at floor level inside the tank.
As for the livability, the upper limit of living in there would be 2 weeks. And that's 2 weeks of going outside the shelter every day, not staying in there the whole time. Cooking would necessarily need to happen outside, not because of ventilation as it wouldn't be a big deal to add separate intake and outlet for a stove, but because it would just be too hot to cook inside there.
You can think of it like a bug out shelter, but one with the secondary purpose of being an adult playhouse for innawood adventures, and maybe as a cache of food in case e.g. some mysterious Chinese virus closes all the stores one day. I've built a similar cache before in a much smaller tank, but that one wasn't designed to be habitable.
Oh, and it's one foot (1') of dirt on the top, not one inch.
