    If you are going to go to the trouble of burying clothes for emergency use to keep from freezing to death, might I suggest...
    Go the extra mile and simply use a vacuum sealer and individually package the various items of clothes. They will stay dry and last longer for the long term storage. also using a vacuum sealer greatly reduces the size of clothing and sleaping bags, etc. After vacuum sealing them then put into the hard shell cache container. If the container filled with water for whatever reason, the clothes will remain dry. Garbage bags get wet inside surprisingly easy.
    My 2 cents.
    That's all the spare change I have at the moment.

    Alan is so far the *only* person to mention a "sod plug". The roots of grasses tend to hold the dirt together so you can remove a section of grass, dig your hole, put the cache in, fill the hole, then put the "sod plug" of grasses back on top and it's like it *never happened*

    The comment about having a cache 1/2 way home from work is a very good point. Because I drive about 30 km to a commuter train station I treat my car as a cache. I keep a case of water, some non-perishable food, extra cloths and a few other things in the car. This also covers any sort of emergency while driving too!
    Should SHTF while I’m at work and I have to walk home the tracks the train travels on are the most direct route and my car is parked half way home. I get to my car I might even be able to drive it depending on what’s going on.
    Also along the way near the start I have various relatives and friends who I can drop in on to take shelter and rest.

      Since you have a fairly stable waypoint in the train station there, I would say look around for places that you could hide a certain amount of really mission critical stuff. In the case of a severe crisis people coming off of the train there will be tempted by cars, and you would want at least a little bit left in case something happened to your vehicle while you were at work. I would definitively not put a full unit there, since it is public property and fairly easy to access. But it would give you that extra security step just in case something happens.

      I wouldn’t worry about my car being broken into by people getting off the train because they are all working commuters and would be rushing to try and get home too.
      On the other hand if the trains aren’t running then I could see the risk of my car being broken into increasing as time goes by. In any disaster like a grid down it takes time for people to realize that the normal rules are slipping away.

    In climates where the ground freezes you have to take that into consideration. Retrieving a cache buried under even just a few inches of frozen soil can be extremely difficult if not impossible.

    I have used caches in real world urban situations. Although I do think of myself as a preper, they can also be useful in day to day life. A few years back when I was traveling around Europe I hid a cache in a bridge cavity on the edge of a major city. In it I stored a tent, sleeping bag, knife, cooker and cloths (things I didn't want to loose but if it happened don't hold sentimental value). Not carrying this stuff when I did smaller trips gave me a lot more freedom but also saved me time and money not having to pay for checked luggage on flights or storage fees.

  • @jonnporter6081
    @jonnporter6081 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    If you prepare the bagged cache at home, you can use your shopvac to suck the air out. Also, PVC can be used as a cache. Cut some 4" or 6" to the length you want. Seal one end with a PVC cap. Use a threaded cap on the other end. Drill a hole in the top and install an eyebolt. This can help pulling it up. Paint the PVC with some exterior house paint for longer term added protection. Post hole diggers can be used to bury it. Put it down about three feet. Drive a 6" piece of rebar into the ground above it. People using a metal detector will give up when they find the rebar. (More info in a "reply")

    • @jonnporter6081
      @jonnporter6081 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you store ammo in one of these PVC caches, put the ammo in glass jars with metal lids that seal well. Paint the metal lids with some Rust-Oleum paint. PVC off-gases. I don't know what the long term effects of this is on guns and ammo. Also, you can get Rust Block Vapor Tabs from Brownells and probably on Amazon. These are made specifically for guns and ammo. I would still seal any ammo stored in PVC in a jar. I use mason jars.

  • @oaksparoakspar3144
    @oaksparoakspar3144 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Three takeaways I had for why you want a cashe and what goes in one and where it should be.
    (1) Getting from A to B.
    (2) Getting from A to A.
    (3) Splitting your eggs.
    Obviously, #1 is the most traditional - in which your cashe is your resupply source for a journey from a point A (usually where you live, work, or otherwise often are) to point B (your BoL - whether that is your home or some other place).
    For those you should know where you are coming from, where you are going to, and have what you need to carry less.
    So, if you have a BoL that you could drive to in an hour, but will take you 2-4 days to walk to, keeping it closer to 2 days with some resupply (or even supply) is helpful. I know if traveling with my littles, I would rather have a cheap tent waiting in a supply barrel at the end of the day than carry one big enough for the family.
    #2 is for when you are pushed from your home and you want to retake it - so a big of food, water, weaponry, and ammo so that rather than being picked off in the Alamo, you can flee quickly knowing that you can then come back and pick them off in your Alamo.
    #3 doesn't really even need to be in a cashe - a separated shed, storage unit, RV, etc - whatever it takes to split your stores.

    Southern boys. Get up north, you want to make it water tight. PVC with both ends glued properly, paint it. Make your hole a bit big, so you can get gravel at the bottom and around the sides for drainage. And get as much of it as you can below the frost line. Yeah, not joking on that. And for the mid-commute cache, find a storage facility that is close to your walking route and 24hr access. Cache a pack, sleep gear, and a cot or good air pad. You literally are caching a hard and dry shelter. Hide your stuff behind the christmas crap and old patio furniture.
    Also that looks like a Stewie. Maybe a Fry.

    I tried a few caches in Texas and left them in the ground for18 months.
    All three had a tremendous amount of condensation accumulation due to the hot air temperatures, and the cooler nights, etc....
    (I'm talking an inch of water in them all)
    All three containers were water-tight. One was a canning jar, one was a 18" section of PVC buried horizontally with one end cap glued on, and the other with a gasket-sealed screw-on lid, and one was a container that a military missile ships in. (I dug a 5 foot deep hole with a post-hole digger attached to a tractor, and lowered the tube in vertically. This one had the most moisture accumulation (about 2") - likely because the top only had about 3-4" of dirt covering it. I had put an old SKS in this tube, and fortunately, I put it in with the barrel up, so I only got a rusted butt-plate and a water stained buttstock)
    None had more than 5" of dirt covering them. I am thinking this is what may have contributed to the moisture collection....If they were deeper, it would likely have been a more temperature-steady placement and prevented the condensation? - Not sure about that. In northern or more dry areas, this may not be a problem, but in Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, etc it will be something to try before you put all your goodies out there and see if you have issues with it.
    Another lesson I learned from the testing - if you set tubes vertically....Cut a disc out of 1/2" ply and drill a hole in the center, then thread a length of paracord through it....lower that in to the tube, then drop your cache items on top of that, and keep 3-4 feet of cord exposed at the top of the tube as you put the lid on and seal it up....This way you can just uncover the top of the tube, open it up, then pull the cord up to bring all the contents up. (with a short tube, this may not matter, but if you have a 3-4 foot tube, it will save you from having to dig out the entire tube, plus, you can re-use if you need to)

I've got a Get Home Bag in my vehicle so I can walk home. I'm also planning on burying a get home bag near my work in case my vehicle is stolen, or looted. I'll still have supplies to get home.

    Tip: Always bury your container UPSIDE DOWN. I know you think they are water tight but play it safe. If your lid lets water seep through you will be opening a barrel that is FULL of water and will have ruined anything inside.

    We took large plastic barrels, cam- painted them and hid them north, south, east and west of our primary location deep, deep in the woods. In case we ever needed to fall back. It gives us a chance to regroup and pick the buggers off one by one...smile.
    In each barrel there is a tent, H20, food, clothing, fire starting tools, flashlights, knives, ammo with a shot gun and rifle in each. We had to replace the original plastic barrels with steel barrels because bear mauled a few pretty badly and compromised them. I think the steel should be bear proof...
    Anyway, the point is that a cashes is prepping. I am thinking of setting some up on my bug out route; it will greatly improve my survival odds.

    Lots of people have mentioned moisture problems, and cellular core PVC drain is an answer. Instead of a screw top lid, glue BOTH sides and include a cheap sawzall blade, drywall saw, whatever is cheapest and available packed in cosmo or lanolin and bagged up in the hole. The best watertight is plumbing tight. Proper glue joints will never leak. Also the little sawblade on a leatherman/gerber will do the job as the PVC is low density and cuts rather easy. Same with any bushcraft saw or even a sharp hatchet if you need in there bad enough. Heat also makes PVC brittle so a few heat-cool cycles and a rock would get you in caveman style.
    Note this is not the best for food, as those fumes penetrate and linger. Better funky food than starving though.

    Excellent advice re the graves. Back in the '60 when Brit and Oz forcers were dealing with the Malay Confrontation the so called independence fighters were trained by the Chi Com (Chinese Communists) and they used fake graves extensively to hide huge caches of food and munitions, Chinese family graves are about as big as a double bed and usually bug into a hillside, which made them excellent places to ambush. When the smoke cleared we'd collected any intel, empty the cache of supplies and back fill it with the booby trapped bodies as a warning to the next group who wanted to use it. Apparently it really played with their minds.

  • @pulpunderground8691

    Couple other things to think about, containers with air in them float, so be careful to do shallow burials in flood prone areas, also if you want to reduce your overall foot print, think tall and skinny: 4" pvc with capped ends buried vertically only needs a 6" wide hole dug with post hole diggers. Just make sure you have the means to get back into it, if you show up without tools to retrieve your goods.

      Have you considered a 6” pipe as a sleeve for your 4” and leaving a length of cord so you can pull it out after uncovering the top? We’ve tried the principle with a old metal 200L barrel as a sleeve for a plastic 150L barrel. Btw the contents were fairly light, mainly camping gear so it just needed a A frame to pull it out.

    My preping is based on shelter in place. I have many reasons for this but some basic ones are my house is more secure than a tent or shelter, my house holds more preps than I could ever carry and I know my house and property well giving me a strong defensive advantage.
    However, I am aware if bad times come I may have to tactical retreat and this is where a cache may be required.
    If I have to leave with nothing it gives me the ablity to resupply before returning or moving on.

    A fake grave would be good. Like the 'Sarah Connor' grave in that Terminator movie. No one actually buried there, just a ton of gear and no worries about disturbing the dead. Also, underwater cache's could be used to preserve things, if the water is consistently cool/cold in your area.
