Using tires for SHTF scenarios

[Xaevian]

Hows that different from shredded tires being used as playground/landscaping mulch? https://www.shreddedmulch.com/the-process-of-making-rubber-mulch/

Have you seen kids these days?

When they are in the Lego stage, tread lightly.

You expected different?

Not on this forum.

I suppose you could use tires as a baffle stack to mitigate noise if building a shooting range... Might not be that useful for actual training, but for sighting / zeroing optics it would probably serve a purpose. That's assuming you have the space / backstop to do it.

Some ranges have used tires and/or barrels to do this.

Just don't use them to grow anything in. Don't want the tire chemicals to leach into your foods or other plants.

I'm not sure what's in there that is all that objectionable? They are mostly long chain hydrocarbons with sulphur cross-links. Anything that leaches out will quickly become food for bacteria and fungi, and that happens at a glacial pace (which is why they last so long).
