How to escape after being buried alive in a coffin.
It could happen to anyone. People bury a person alive to scare them or to get rid of them. In this situation, rely only on yourself.
- Do not waste oxygen. In a classic coffin there’s only enough oxygen for about an hour, maybe two. Inhale deeply, exhale very slowly. Once inhaled - do not swallow, or you will start to hyperventilate. Do not light up lighters or matches, they will waste oxygen. Using a flashlight is allowed. Screaming increases anxiety, which causes increased heartbeat and therefore - waste of oxygen. So don’t scream.
- Shake up the lid with your hands. In some cheap low-quality coffins you will be able to even make a hole (with an engagement ring or a belt buckle.)
- Cross your arms over your chest, holding onto your shoulders with your hands, and pull the shirt off upward. Tie it in a knot above your head, like so:
This will prevent you from suffocating when the dirt falls on your face.
- Kick the lid with your legs. In some cheap coffins the lid is broken or damaged already after being buried, due to the weight of the ground above it.
- As soon as the lid breaks, throw and move the dirt that falls through in the direction of your feet. When it takes up a lot of space, try pressing the ground to the sides of the coffin with your legs and feet. Move around a bit.
- Whatever you do - your main goal is to sit up: dirt will fill up the empty space and move to your advantage, so no matter what - do not stop and try breathing steadily and calmly.
- Get up. Remember: the dirt in the grave is very loose, so battling your way up will be easier than it seems. It’s the other way around during a rainy weather however, since water makes dirt heavy and sticky.

I have a friend who enjoys sewing these little dragon creatures from the Homestuck series called scalemates. Eventually it inspired me enough to try my own hand at sewing, even though I’m terrible. I wanted to pick something that would be easy to make over and over again for practice, and that’s when I decided on mudscamps.
External imageMudscamps are little guys from a recent episode of Adventure Time. They’re multicolored and appear to have squishy fish bodies and walk around in the mud on little legs. I can only assume they’re supposed to be similar to mudskippers.
External imageHere’s what I’ve come up with so far. I really like them as a collection, but they do look kind of weird individually. I’d like to start making each one more personalized and give them to friends. My only fear is that these guys will be connected to Darwinism fish by people who haven’t seen them on the show. The last thing I want is for people to think I’m trying to make some kind of political or religious statement with a bunch of poorly-made plush toys!
All…6 of you.
If anyone’s interested in the daily goings-on in my life and not just random reblogs, I have a tumblr for just myself, no reblogs. Original art and musings ahoy.
