Hello. I hope everyone is recovering nicely from the long weekend and turkey day.
I've been thinking about a buried survival cache for the last six months. I want to get feedback from people that have done it themselves-buried weapons, clothes, storage food, etc?
I would also like to know what kind/type of containers people used-PVC pipe? Hard case? Barrels? Also, I know locating and environment is factor when burring a cache. A person would want to locate in a place where it wouldn't be easily found by others, but would be easy to find for them when returning to it. Nor, put it in a place where it would be sitting in the water table for six months of the year (unless you took pre-cautions for this) or about to be logged/developed.
I've been working on a list as of late. Its a work in progress and is in no way in its final stages of being complete. I would like to add this, most likely it would be made for two people (hence the two ALICE packs), but also I thought it could be nearby a camp/hide. Also, if just one person uses it (me), it could be a stash location where I come back as needed for supplies and exchange items. I thought of a few scenarios.
One more thing, I know I didnt add any weapons to the list. That is separate thing I am working on: to cache a rifle, pistol, ammo and supplies. Ideas for this would be nice too!
Heres my list:
One Hardig (hard-case/water proof) electronics box
Plastic storage bags/Mylar bags/food-saver bags-sealed
Oxygen absorbers/moisture absorbers?
Silicone for hard-case
First Aid kit
Two sets clothes (warm/cold)
1 Large ALICE pack/1 medium
Coat or Rain gear
Boots (waterproof/thinsulate)
Socks/underwear
Gloves (leather & insulated pair)
Flash light/head lamp
Glow sticks
Small camp stove (one burner)/Swiss army volcano stove
Fuel/fuel tablets
FOOD
o MREs
o Freeze dried assortment
o Canned meat?
Water Storage
o Camel bak
o Canteens
o 2.5gal water bags
o Purification tablets/filters
Sleeping bag w/all weather cover
Tarp (brown 6x8)
Para-cord
Gerber Hatchet/Saw/Shovel set (small)
Leatherman
Good knife (x2)
Hand & feet warmers
FIRE
o Lighter
o Matches
o Flint
o Steel wool
o Tinder
Thanks for advice in advance; Ill kindly take what I can get. But I do ask that this not be a rip someone apart thread please, that I see go on elsewhere in this site .
