LOL! I’ll just push a potato into the chimney and who is indestructible then?

When I first saw it, I had a flashback of the very brief period I spent riding in the back of a Soviet-made armored personnel carrier run by the Georgians when they were in Iraq. Then I looked at the welds, the finish, everything else.

What a joyless and despondent thing this fellow's gone and made. Even the photo of the human inside accentuates the despondency.

The designer says, "This ideological society offers choice; are we able to find alternate ways of living, another model or are our days counted?"

His choice is obvious in creating this thing.

It looks like where you go to die.

Terrible design! The hinges are on the outside where someone can take their time working on them. The stove pipe better have a blast screen in it, or someone can just toss a grande in there. Better throw in tear gas and cap it. And that's just at a glance. It also looks very roll-able, with a toilet and stove in there that's not something you want. Even as a likely to be symbolic design, this is a total fail.

Uhhhh, shelter from very little. Rain maybe. If someone wants in… simply add wood, ignite, apply more wood… wait. Someone will be coming out.

I'd like to bury it next to my foundation and dig a small tunnel from my basement and grow some plants…
