You will first have to contact your municipality and see if they allow outdoor "recreation" fires. We built one in our back yard and used redbrick to do it. Dig a pit aprox 1 to 1&1/2 feet deep, and as wide as you need it. Level out bottom. Line with redbrick. Leave sides earthen. You have to remember to not stack the bricks around the top, this will prevent air flow.If you want a finished look for the top use one layer of bricks turned on their side so the holes in the bricks let the fire get air. If you just want an outdoor fire ring that you can cook on look on Gander Mountain's website. You will need to order a catolog, it's free. They sell fire rings that are somewhat inexpensive and you can put your cooking racks right on top to cook. We have both and use the ring more than the pit it's easier and can be taken inside over he winter. I hope this helps you out. Good Luck!!!\nhttp://www.gandermountain.com

Staying underground would be a very bad plan. Namely because lava and pyroclastic flows heat up the ground beneath it. So's open areas. Best course of action is to either not live there or evacuate willingly when you are told to.\n\nAs for where to go? You'd need to look at what the people telling you to evacuate said. Pyroclastic flows vary depending on gas content, ash volume, etc. If Yellowstone blew, which seems to be a hot button topic even though we couldn't accurately predict such a thing, the distance you would need to evacuate would be greater than most because of what the estimated volume could be. I really wouldn't worry about it too much though because you're in Oklahoma.\n\nAs for the village thing, if it were true (I have no idea if it is) they would have likely it survived because the flow of lava and such went off the mountain side opposite them.

my son is there now.......pack as light as possible, but;\n1.  Take bottles to carry plenty of water, you are at altitude and it is dry and you must stay hydrated.\n2.  Rain suit, not just poncho, violent thunderstorms are not uncommon.\n3.  Water filter, they will give you disinfectant tablets but you will still want to filter the water for "chunks".\n4.  Sunscreen, bug juice.\n5.  Layers - it can be 90 in the day and 30 at night.\n6.  Your troop should have plenty of guidelines available.  You also should have gotten the field manual.  READ IT AND FOLLOW IT.  This is not kid's stuff...you are in the outback for a week or more.

1.  Being near active volcanos probably means you're also in an area that is subject to earthquakes, for the same reason (plate tectonics).\n\n2.  If they erupt, they can do so explosively, in which case hot ash and smoke can suffocate you and burn you to death.  Or they can erupt slowly, like the ones on Hawaii typically due, in which case the lava can overrun homes, properties, etc.\n\n3. Volcanic ash that settles out of the atmosphere can damage respiratory health.\n\n4.  The lava and hot ash can rapidly melt any snow or ice that may be on the mountain, causing devastating floods and mud flows (lahars).\n\n5.  Volcanic dust can be hazardous to airplanes.\n\n6.  If the eruption is big enough, the ash can cause temporary cooling of the earth's climate by blocking sunlight.

either smash your cell or get protection if they dont have that just blosk em its pretty easy.\nDO NOT PANIC!

Earthquakes, use jello full of sand, and observe how it shakes when fractured.  Tsunami, create pool of water with a slope as the shore, and watch waves hit shores.  Volcanoes, build sandy hils and use something like coke and mentos to similate lava under pressure, watch it erupt.  Landslides, build sandy hills with steep sides, and watch how slides can occur.  Using nothing more than sand, jello, water, coke and mentos, and with imagination, you can create all these basic "natural disasters".

The best way to protect yourself in any situation like this is to avoid maximum contact with people, but at the same time maintain a good level of fitness and eat healthy.  Washing your hands frequently is also highly advisable.

I cannot find any record of anyone being killed or injured by the 1934 eruption sequence.  As a matter of fact, I found a picture of tourists standing on the rim looking down into the caldera during that eruption (see Source link below, last picture on page).

Yes... you would die instantly.\nlava's temperature is about from 700ºC to 1600ºC. That temperature is able to melt rock at high pressure inside Earth. Human body would melt just few seconds after falling in lava.\n\nStreams of fluid lava (moving fast streams like Hawaii volcanoes) usually move over paths where rain water runs. So you have to go to high places. Lava with high viscosity move so slowly that you can scape from its path.

I've done this for long periods of time and once for an entire winter.  First you'll need a small one-person high quality three-season tent and an expensive sleeping bag rated to about 15 degrees below zero.  Also a Therm Rest self-inflating air mattress (these sort of pads are very effective for keeping you insulated even when used on ice.  Water and carried in foods and kinda maintain a very small fire in a tuna-fish can with blocks surrounding it so that you will not be being seen by other/s.  Be sure no apt-to-fall tree/s are near you (check em very well) they can fall and kill you.  I most always rounded my tent site with thin but very strong sting so that any large animal will not walk over my tent (fear of big-foot.  If alone enjoy your solitude and use that time for learning how to think clearer.
