    This is perfect thanks for the post guys. Yesterday I was at the farm supply looking at pipe. Just a simple end cap for six inch pipe was $32. I am trying to look at the various options which you have given me some. I too was looking at vacuum sealing each bag put in. However my old seal a meal doesn't do the best job. I have a friend who has one from Cabela's which double seals each bag, that is what I am getting. It is too bad there is not some way to over-pressure the pipe then this would help keep it dry.

    I do like the idea of covering the top of the pipe with a second plastic or rubber seal. I would think something like an tire inner tube cut and sealed with rubber glue to make a sleeve over the top would work. If you wanted to make sure the ends were truly sealed then you could seal both ends and put it under pressure. Then just cut it in half and you have two sleeves.

    So what do you find to be the ideal size. I know it depends upon what you want to put inside. However for general use I am looking at four inches or bigger. Which is better PVC or ABS?? Thanks

    This thread is also good for for to check some of your food storage preps. I do not know about everyone else, I have some storage in three areas and generally check all areas on a regular basis. Since my primary prep is for earthquake I know that I could lose a structure and not be able to get what is in it without great difficulty. If we have a SHTF situation caused by something else, I can consolidate my stores quickly to be in one central place that can be more easily protected.

    I got to talk to a couple of electricians at work today about underground conduits. They said that every time they work on one that is open to the inside of a building they fill with water from condensation. If the conduit has sealer on both ends, anything inside is always dry as a bone.
    I don't think condensation would have been your issue with them buried.
