(In cheesy, Yackoff fake Russian accent...) Komrades! Use the Mother Russia method! A simple, liberal coating of the People's Cosmoline, then pack shipping container in finest Soviet straw, then build crate around shipping container. Seemple! 500 million Mosin Nagants can't be wrong!

And remember, in Soviet Russia, Apocalypse survives YOU!

 

just wrap the hole thing in denzo tape and no more problems

 

Don't forget, it won't matter what you're using to make a steel container water resistant, if the water doesn't drain away. Always a good idea to build where you have a natural slope to drain away, then put a French drain system around the base of the buried container. This is what they do with houses that sit underground, too.

As far as a coating goes, I wish I knew what they used, when I worked for the Navy (in Guam), for the underground fuel pipelines. Man, that stuff was damn near impregnable, and combined with an active cathodic protection system, had kept 40+ year old pipelines from rusting through!

 

Could be. I know you could scrape and wire brush that stuff forever, but the moment you hit it with a torch flame, it would burst into flame! Good stuff!!
