Culdifort! Part 2! Ready for the Apocalypse!




The Culdifort. I have made some extensions and improvements to it.
First thing i was thinking about was actually being able to sustain people. So i figured i would make a little garden. Not only for food, but for water as well.

Observe:

Here is a little device I figured I would rig up. To survive the apocalypse, your going to need water, right?

Right.

This potted plant sits on a shelf, with many other potted plants around it. There will be a lot of plants, trust me. 1) Plastic bag. If wrapped around a branch, it will collect water from the plant. by using this method, and draining the water regularily, I will be able to have a) enough water for me and b) enough water for the plant to survive. 2) are the bricks holding the plant to the sun, and 3) is a pot.

 This is just a larger view of the garden. Optimally, we dig out the space shown, and plant beds of vegetables: potatoes, carrots, anything and everything that can stand the climate of Vancouver. There is a high wall there that is part of a condo complex, and of course the reinforced garage door walls.  The uncoloured blocks are the shelves, and they are facing towards the sun from around 12:30 to sundown, so there will be plenty of sunlight to keep the water source alive. Note that I am going to think up of a lot of other methods to collect water, this is just a start.





Next, we have the pit of nails. A little obvious, but quite a good addition to any home fort.

I placed it out in front of my Soldered line of vehicles. Why? well the car wall is there, and it would do a fairly good job of blocking off the entrance, but people could climb over relatively easily. Hence, the Nail Pit. it is 4). First, the base would be filled with concrete. Then, the nail planks go in- made from the torn up boards of my (and other people's) deck(s), for the backyards are inaccessible anyways (too much fence to reinforce, its why I strung the walls between the houses.

The Concept is simple. Drive nails through 2 x 4's, Line all the sides of the pit with the 2 x 4's. If somebody falls in, they are not getting out. Trust me on that one, the walls a) would hurt a lot to climb, and b) be quite impossible to climb.

if you were dealing with zombies, this pit would do no more than trap them. If you're in an average Apocalyptic scenario, and your fighting off the vestiges of humanity, this would work a lot better: for one, nobody is going to want to jump into your little pit, and there are a lot softer targets elsewhere.





Thats all for the second stage of the Culdifort. A picture of what it looks like so far:
