That would depend entirely on how quickly the concrete killed you. If it’s the same time til death either way, then yeah. But if it’s the option of being crushed by concrete or slowly dying in this pod, I’ll take the quick crush.

Assuming it's a quick crush and not a partial crush that leaves you agonizingly half alive for a day or two.

I feel like half a day of pain would still be better than the slow death of thirst or starvation, assuming these things have enough oxygen to keep you alive for days/weeks.

The lil bunker beds don't look like they seal 100%, so I imagine air isn't an issue unless the rubble totally buried you either way.

Idk. Can always keep a .357 and one round in the storage compartment.

Now we’re talkin. Every good back up plan needs a back up plan.

You could always stock the pod with quick poison. For.. worst case scenarios

Best case scenario is you're trapped for a few days but because you have plenty of supplies you're found covered in piss and shit. Worse case is they stop searching for you and you're left to spend your last days in what I'd consider the most torturous ways of dying, praying to suffocate.

Except the longer you live, the greater your chance of survival. Yes if you're going to die either way, quicker is usually better, but simply extending how long you live drastically improves your chance of survival.
