For buyers who need length and volume this is our most popular model. It has interior measurements of 43" x 6" and a capacity of 5.1 gallons up to the bottom of the pipe threads.
Although firearm burial is specifically not recommended for public safety reasons, this model was first used to bury a semi-automatic rifle, scope, cleaning kit, and 900 rounds of .223 ammunition in an off-site location due to concerns about anti-gun measures that may be enacted and enforced in violation of citizens' rights under the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

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! tube will hold about a month’s worth of food for one person, or shelter and clothing items, valuables, first aid materials, or a variety of emergency and survival tools and equipment.
Despite the multiple layers of protection afforded in your BURY ‘EM! tube kit, you should select non-perishable emergency items that are corrosion proof or as corrosion resistant as possible, composed of plastics, ceramics, and/or stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant metals. Make sure any large items will fit into the tube with room to spare so cloth bags full of smaller accessory items can be added.
1.Empty BURY ‘EM! tube of all parts and insert Mylar bag liner. You will have to partially fold the bag lengthwise, being careful not to crease it.
2.Lubricate any metal parts of your emergency items for storage. No lubricants are included with the kit because of highly variable individual preference ranging from use of light oils and silicone sprays to heavy oils and grease.
3.Double over knit fabric sleeve (makes two sleeves joined at bottom) and insert any large items as protection against puncturing Mylar bag. With hands washed clean of lubricants, place fabric-wrapped large item or items into Mylar bag with narrowest end facing the opening so bags of smaller items may be more easily added and removed. Depending on their size and shape you may have to insert any second large item narrow end first in order to fit. Be careful not to get any lubricant on Mylar bag opening so it can be properly heat-sealed.
4.Loosely fill cloth bags with any smaller items, lubricated as desired. Cinch and tie drawstrings and secure cord leashes to filled bags. The bags are to protect Mylar bag from puncture and the leashes will enable you to easily withdraw the six deepest bags once the BURY ‘EM! tube is opened. If only one fabric sleeve was used for a large item, place filled cloth bags inside the other sleeve for extra protection, beginning with all six leashed bags and being sure to keep sleeve opening or leash ends from slipping down into tube.
5.If there is additional space left, consider adding other emergency items (small tools, cleaning materials, rain poncho, protein bars, etc.) If more than 10 cloth bags are needed, select something from your sock drawer that you can fill. Allow a three-inch space at mouth of tube; do not overfill.
6.If you think any lubricant may have gotten on the inside of Mylar bag opening, cleanse with tissue, then a soapy sponge, then a rinsed sponge, then with the enclosed alcohol cleaning pad. Allow to dry thoroughly. A perfect heat seal is essential.
7.Plug in your non-stick-surfaced clothes iron and turn to the "wool" setting. Have the thick dowel or broomstick ready. When the iron is hot, make a short test seam near the bag opening to see at what speed the iron should travel to make a good seal. (Make the actual seal closer to the bag contents.)
8.Make sure your vacuum cleaner is plugged in and ready to go, then open sealed bag of O2 absorbers and empty into Mylar bag. They will begin absorbing oxygen immediately.
9.Quickly suck air out of Mylar bag with vacuum cleaner, flatten open end across dowel or broomstick leaving no wrinkles and run iron across the bag. Make seal wider by advancing the dowel or broom stick a little further out from the initial heat seam. Once assured of a good seam, use scissors to trim off excess Mylar beyond seam, fold and depress into tube. Now you are ready to close up your BURY ‘EM! tube.
Oxygen absorber packets are tossed into Mylar liner just before sucking air out with vacuum cleaner and sealing it shut with hot clothes iron.
There are many more O2 absorbers in the pouch than needed but once the pouch is opened it is best not to try to save the extras as they begin absorbing oxygen immediately and it doesn’t hurt to add them all to the Mylar liner before sealing it.
The BURY ‘EM! tube will be sealed with a sticky wax material applied to the pipe threads. Do this in a warm environment so wax thread sealant will be soft.
1.Ready the small plastic cup of wax sealant and disposable wooden spatula.
2.Smear thick layer of wax into threads of BURY ‘EM! tube opening and threads of the plug. Be thorough, pressing wax deep into threads.
3.Align black mark on the BURY ‘EM! tube edge with black mark on the top of plug. These signify the beginning of the threads on each and will help prevent cross-threading.
4.Turn plug clockwise as far as you can by hand, then turn BURY ‘EM! tube upside-down placing the square lug of the plug into the square hole of the plug wrench, which should be flat on the floor. (You might want to put down some newspaper or plastic first to keep the wax from making a mess.) BURY ‘EM! tube might stand upright on its own but if not, just lean it in a corner.
5.Unscrew nuts on 6" steel pipe clamp and remove bolts. Hold the two clamp halves together around the BURY ‘EM! tube. They are easier to use if positioned at opposite end from tube opening. Secure clamp with bolts and nuts, tightening with crescent wrench. Now you have some good handles with which to rotate the tube so you can tighten plug all the way. Depending on how you bury the BURY ‘EM! tube, these handles may be essential in undoing the plug when tube is unearthed. Leaving them in place might be a good idea. Also, the plug wrench is equipped with a cord leash so you can secure it to the tube if desired.
6.Once you have used the plug wrench and the pipe clamp handles to fully tighten the plug, clean up the excess wax and you're ready to roll.
Realize that anything metal buried in your yard or hidden in your wall or attic can be easily located with a good metal detector. Therefore you should select an off-site location that is free from prying eyes as you dig and bury, a site also unlikely to be bulldozed or washed away by flooding and where children are unlikely to dig and metal-detectors are unlikely to be used. (Beaches, old foundations or train tracks, and empty city lots may not be good sites.) Select a spot that aligns with permanent features so you can relocate it easily.
Your loaded BURY ‘EM! tube may feel like it’s full of
lead! Consider using a golf bag caddy to wheel it to its destination.
Alternatives are a ski bag or folding chair bag with shoulder strap, or
a strong, trusted assistant. Make sure you are unobserved on the way to
your burial site.
BURY ‘EM! tube was placed inside this reinforced carrying bag from a folding rocking chair. Folding GI shovel, pipe clamp, crescent wrench, and sheets of plastic or small tarps can be carried inside 5-gallon plastic buckets or separate knapsack. Plug wrench is alongside tube inside carrying bag.
1.Spread two small tarps to protect the surface from telltale soil spillage and position several plastic buckets on them to load with excavated topsoil.
2.Remove ground litter carefully as if it were puzzle pieces and arrange it on one tarp, to be replaced afterward.
3.Carefully dig up and transfer leaf mold/topsoil layer to the buckets and load deeper layers of soil and rocks onto other tarp until you have a hole of the right size and depth. Your BURY ‘EM! tube should be covered by no less than a foot of soil. Two feet would be safer in case of fire.
4.Place BURY ‘EM! tube and attached pipe clamp and plug wrench in hole and backfill. Tamp the earth well as you bury so soil will not settle and leave a telltale depression.
5.Replace topsoil then surface debris to disguise your burial site.
6.Load excess soil into buckets and fold tarps carefully so no soil particles are left on top of surface as evidence of burial location. Dump buckets full of earth a good distance away where it won't be noticed.
Be very careful not to attract attention in returning to the site. Unless you have gone to unearth the BURY ‘EM! tube and retrieve its contents, inspect the location from some distance away without stopping so that anyone following you will not deduce the location of your buried cache.
Demonstration burial site shows placement of tarps or sheets of plastic and buckets for saving topsoil. The far sheet of plastic was used for surface litter to be carefully replaced after the tube is buried and the topsoil is tamped down well. The near sheet contains subsoil that is loaded into the two buckets and carried away after the topsoil and surface litter have been replaced.
Special care must be taken to place every speck of fresh earth on the tarp or plastic sheet so that no telltale trace is left behind. To successfully conceal your BURY ‘EM! tube and its contents you must leave the burial site indistinguishable from the surrounding surface. To relocate your site you will need to position the hole along intersecting lines of permanent landscape features or else devise some other means of saving its precise coordinates.
Here you see the BURY ‘EM! tube lying in its hole before being covered with earth. The PVC wrench was buried with it so it will be on hand for retrieving the contents in the field after it is unearthed. The steel pipe clamp can also be buried attached to the tube if desired. It is bound to rust but should remain sound for many years.
This product is offered in good faith to assist with family emergency preparedness but carries no warranty against loss from fire, moisture, theft, or animal damage, especially because user application cannot be controlled. Store all items at your own risk.
In case any portion of this procedure becomes outlawed for any item or items, do not follow it. For public safety reasons firearm burial is specifically not recommended. How about a BB gun instead?
