. If shtf, I mean. Carbon monoxide and C)2 are likely to kill you if you fall asleep without adquate ventilation in an enclosure, with coals burning or residual gases. Those gases are scentless.
You must, in advance, dig a a small underground, shelter with reflective insulation, as sold for building houses, proper clothing and a great sleeping bag. can't dig the shelter in advance, cause if anyone finds it, they'll tell others and if shtf, they WILL try to get to it.
So, you must "partially' dig it, then fill back in one of the vertical (2) shafts, and have the horizontal shaft not easily reachable from the "spiderhole". Not only does the (concealed lid) vertical spider- hole have to be deepened, it also has to be widened, and you have to know which direction to dig, at what depth, to dig in order to hit the horizontal shaft, which is shored up and waiting for you. So it is most unlikely that anyone will figure out your secret.
One half mile away, wrap up an entrenching tool in plastic garbage bags, and bury it a mere 2" deep, preferably in dry gravel, so that it won't freeze into the ground in the winter. Beware leaving it where a sudden runoff of water can reveal its presence, and keep everything out of flood plains! Very close to the surface, at one end of the e tool, tie to it a wire, and leave the wire next to something noticable, like a rock. If you need the tool, just tie a stick to the wire and pull on it.
Presto, the needed tool is in your hand, for accessing your other goodies.
A horizontal plastic drum can be in the shaft, stuffed full of insulation-mylar and shoring. Bug netting and white sheets can be in a vertically buried drum, at the far end of the horizontal shaft. dig it up and you've got your escape exit. the tunnel/shelter need not be more than 8-9 ft long, and 30" square, you know. You can extend it at your leizure. Drive at least one 2" OD black painted PVC up thru the overburden of dirt, with screenwire over the top end, so you will have light in the daytime. Cover it with a transplanted bush.
don't store metal items or food in or near the shelter, as such things might reveal its presence to digging animals or enemies. Your buried drums of goodies need to be 1/2 mile or a bit more away, out of sight of each other and of the dugout, arrange in a circle around your shelter, so you can quickly access any one or all of them, at night, with little effort or time.
