Not sure about the bullet resistance of Rhino Liner...Boys, I have one word for you: Rhino Lining. Apparently, it's bulletproof too.
But I would use Durabak for a Waterproofing instead...

I have read they don't weather well when buried.

Yea, that's what I'm talking about. I looked into them a while back and found a lot of information stating they're not the best option for burying.Are you referring to a shipping container like you see on the trucks etc???
If so that could be stripped and sealed up. coated like Jeremy and others have mentioned. It would be big enough for a lot of things. Bury it. Almost like a bomb shelter.

It wouldn't need to be a full length box, either. I would think even one of the half boxes would have sufficient room to keep supplies and have room for people.I can see why not but they could be made sound with the right effort. Just a thought. The size is what interests me. You could put all your preps in one and have room to move around. Battery lights and radio. The temp would be OK if buried. Some kind of fresh air snorkel needed. Crap, am I describing a nuclear bomb shelter. I am a child of the Nuclear age.

I have slept 7 men in a 20' Conex for a couple of weeks. I do not recommend the experience. I Would not go over 3-4/20' Conex...I was thinking of my crew. 4/6 adults and 1/2 children. I do get carried away at times. Still, it is a good idea and would cover a variety of scenarios. Just thinking out load.
I am looking at one that is buried in the garage floor.
I've been doing some reading on shipping containers here: Do NOT bury shipping containers! - Survivalist Forum
I'm a couple pages in, and the basic consensus is to go block/concrete. By the time you re-engineer the shipping container you have defeated the cost effectiveness of it.Makes perfect sense. It would have to be re-engineered. That would not be hard but steel is not cheap. I used to pick up free steel channel and angle all over the place but the scrapers get it before it hits the ground now. It was just an idea.

I may end up registering on that forum to get some more info...You would still have to seal it up and put fresh air to it. I can see the block construction being the proper way to go. Again, fall out shelter. Thanks for the info. You probably saved me from myself.

One suggestion was to look into septic tanks. I found a thread where a guy used a 1500 gallon tank and he said it was pretty reasonable to do.
Hum, my brother had both cars parked in his garage with the door closed when the F5 hit. After it hit, the garage door was somehow under the cars and the exterior brick wall had colapsed on top of one of them...kinda like a car sandwich. Not sure I want to be patient while my neighbors (if any are left) dug me out. Just sayin'...
