BIG NEWS: I have designed my own Survival Knife called “APO-1”. You can get it now at my online store: www.survivallilly.at/ Thank you so much for your support
Survival Lilly where you can get that type of food and all the supplies you have there????
Artoriouz1291 at the store!
Lilly do you like the MRE food?
extra protection.... put the items inside the poncho and then inside the garbage bag before puting in box.
Lilly eats bugs and bread that's been cooking in the sand with a smile on her face swearing that it tastes good!! So MRE's would be like eating at a 5-star restaurant!
Another tip for finding your cache, take a picture (or 3 from different angles), print them off, and keep them in your bug out bag.
+Wide Vision Metal Fab Great Idea!
or keep the pics on your camera in your phone...
@TheRaellz Agreed. Clueless.
Rocks at the bases of trees.
Good idea.
At 6:05 Dax is all like: "Look mommy I helped!" x)
Definitely a great idea! I like the box you have.
+TankTracksBushcraft Oh behave!!!
+Dave Clarke Thanks guys for helping me with my diet. Nothing works like a loss of appetite.
Dave Clarke Well that sounds like a rough summer. I'll bet there's a story there. Maybe better store an extra barrel of food. LOL.
+MCQBushcraft love your vids also, kinda cool you watch others also.
Every prepper or survivalist needs a cache. Remenber "Two is one , one is none". Great video Lilly.
one thought , duct tape around the top. I've buried caches and it's a MUST. I've had boxes that lose their seals.
Mark the GPS Location in a notebook. (Apple Store get Commander Compass)
if the satellite network disappears for some reason, get a topo of the Quad for the area, make sure to mark land marks on the map.keep the maps some place safe.
+WIlly MacTavish good tip, thanks!!
+Survival Lilly Food storage vacuum bags and a portable vacuum pump.
or duct tape in the kit to
+Shane Richardson Mylar and 02 absorbers are a much better option. Vacuum sealed bags lose their seal after a few years.
Mine would be all coffee and Twinkies!
glockensig Arizona from Zombieland will go to the ends of the earth to find your cache.
Might be a good idea to add some silica gel packets too, to absorb any moisture that gets in.
Awesome. I have a few planted
+BlackScoutSurvival I know, I love your videos :)
+Survival Lilly thank you
Those canned food will freeze in the winter and burst open. Plus you need an area that wont be susceptible ground frost heaves in the winter because that frozen water in the ground can break your plastic container.
Not if you bury it deep enough and insulate your container...
I've always had an Idea to build a cache that would be much larger than yours but similar. A very heavy tarp, sleep system, felling axe, large saw, knife, fire kit, wool clothes, cook kit, water filter and some ammo. I often see those rooftop cargo carriers at thrift stores which would make a strong container.
hello little tip, add to your survival kit fishing hook and line
Great idea Lilly. I did the same thing using a 5 gallon gear oil bucket I got from work. They are very good because the lid will seal water proof when you snap it down. I just had to clean out the oil residue. They are roomy, very tough and waterproof. People can get them from farm implement repair shops or big truck repair shops.
Hi Lily
I think having a survival cache is such a brilliant and practical idea.I also think that if around your home you have the space,stashing a few survival caches here and there is also a terrific idea.I am thinking that I shall start by hiding a few caches on my house block just for the experience and then moving on to some public land nearby to stash extra survival gear and food.
Thankyou cheers from Daveo
Just wanted to say i've been watching you for a while and I want to say your English has improved greatly over the time span. Cudos
Great idea, I would have put some silicon rubber lube on the seal and put a shingle on the top to stop heavy water migration. Still an excellent idea! Looking forward to the expansion part II! Keep up the good work Lilly!
Would it make sense to include moisture absorbing packets in the box itself? Or perhaps ones to inhibit the growth of bacteria to keep any perishables from being destroyed?
Lilly, I laugh so enjoyably at your dog! He is somewhat of a ham in a subtle way, but doesn't hog the camera, sharing it with you after he has scoped out the mole and mice populations at your set up sites. How clever of him to flaunt his muscles for the camera in the background of your location. I learn a lot from your presentations and demonstrations. Have you seen any refugees yet?
Not bad and I have just a few items that I think you'd enjoy. First utilize the space in your canteen if you're going to keep it in there. Dried beans is a good one or coffee beans or even sugar but that's for you to decide. Also I'd put a deck or two of playing cards along with a pack of dice. The entertainment value is huge to keep you sane and something to take your mind off the disaster around you or if there's kids. Can always fill up the empty space with little toy trinkets along that line(for kids or just fun for bored adults even) like bouncy balls, balloons, puzzle book etc. Plus they have tons of other uses as well. Lastly maybe consider a basic thing of medicine like Tylenol, ibuprofen, allergy meds, antacid, pepto/imodium, vitamins. Also maybe some airplane bottles of vodka. This can be used to sterilize wounds or tools for treating wounds. Also might help sedate an injured person in the event of having to perform a painful procedure. Not to mention if you get 100 proof vodka it can assist in fire making. Cheers :)
I am always blown away at the "dislikes"!! What the hell is there to dislike????????? Lilly is always fun to watch~!!!!
Good idea if you're always being thrown out of the house by your parents. Include a 1 man nylon tent. The soil cover should only be a few inches deep in case you have dig up during a frozen winter.
How about filling the empty canteen with some dried food like rice or dried beans or a quick energy snack like nuts and m&ms? An empty canteen is a lot of unused space. Add a couple of zip lock bags and you can transfer the dried food from the canteen to the bags so that you can fill the canteen with water.
It also might not hurt to walk back and forth to the spot where your cache is a few times because you memorize things like that through repetition.
A lot of good stuff in such a small space! That is a great peace of mind to have. Thanks for sharing.
This is an excellent idea Lilly! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I swear by this idea Lilly, better to have access to them than not...a real life saving tip. Thanks for sharing
Gute Idee. Man sollte sich die Stelle aber wirklich verdammt genau merken.
Bei uns in der Familie gibt es die "Legende", dass sie 45, als die Amerikaner anrückten, Uropas altes Mauser G98 vom Dachboden geholt und im Wald vergraben haben...und da liegt es bis heute.
Muß doch mal unter die Metallsucher gehen. :D
I'd get rid of the coffee, chai latte, and cream for the coffee and put one or two more water pouches in there instead. Might replace one of the big cans of food with 3 sardines or similar. And that water canteen could hold a few loose items as well. Those little pouches that absorb moisture would be helpful as well.
Lilly you could have filled the empty canteen to fill up with extra stuff. A spare knife wouldn't hurt.
+plasticspine Only in Russia.
+Bob Jones Actually, it's a good place to tuck in plastic bags. They come in very handy. Roll up into a couple of slender shapes that will slide out easily.
Lol and ppop California
Anything butterknife 😄
Très bonne idée, mais il faut choisir des repères qui ne bougent pas. Le feu, les tsunamis, changent l'environnement et donc les repères qui servent à retrouver les boites.. Encore un belle vidéo, bravo Lilly.
Very good idea, but you must choose the marks that do not move. The fire, tsunamis, change the environment and therefore the marks which are used to find the boxes.. A beautiful video, bravo Lilly.
I love it when your dog digs with you!
I would love to see a mock buyout where you have to find and use that cache for an overnight. Great Vid!
+Jeffery Cox -
Mock Bugout
Hope you'll never have to use it Lilly and yes, mark it to recognize it during all season is one of the key points, thanks for sharing, all the best, Taro
My new favorite channel ! Keep up the cool videos Lilly !
Very good... However, I'd add a simple water filter, if you could stuff it in... and two wash cloths in place of the tissues.. Tampons can also be used for trapping, hunting, and fixing bullet wounds.. Excellent video as always Lilly!
Good idea. Several of those scattered in a large area should work out. Do not depend on just one. Maybe even take your moped out to bury the.goids further for other suitable bug out camps. I noticed you have tea. There is an inexpensive survival kit in a small sealed can for about $13.00. In it was several tea bags. Many people made jest of the tea. What they did not know was that tea (especially black tea) is good for putting on cuts and bruises. The used wet tea bags helps sooth the pain.
Seeing the dog "helping" reminds me of once when I was digging potatoes, and the dog was sitting there observing. Then she started digging too and prancing about with one in her mouth when she dug it up.
about the canned food. the pop top lids will split open if the container freezes. The water is in a pouch that should survive a hard freeze. Burying it a few feet deep will take advantage of ground heat and piling a thick layer of debris over the top will also insulate it. A layer of debris with the addition of a thick snow bank is also helpful. Diggin up frozen ground is also a challenge in cold climates. Lining your bury hole with sand is one way of yanking it out of frozen ground. Cover the cache with a stone
I'd add something additional for water purification. Life straw, etc. and a mid sized fixed blade knife.
A friend of mine and I were discussing caches a while back and he was all for putting a complete resupply (of whatever you'd normally carry in your B.O.B.) in one place.
I told him that while that may be convenient, I don't think it's a good idea. Mainly because if someone finds it, you've lost everything. Far better (in my opinion at least) to have several smaller caches such as the one you showed here spread across a wider area.
Great idea. If your going to do this I'd say zip lock bags as well as the box and plan for the worst case scenario.
This is a pretty good cache concealment job. The stacking of the branches directly above the cache kind of gives it away, and anyone trained in site exploitation would find it. In order to find your deliberate cache in the future, you can mark the area with subtle markings leading up to the cache point at least ten meters away.
I have always enjoyed your videos and watching your dog enjoy himself while you work.
Time to refresh that drinking water - it is about to "spoil" now:)
I would suggest multiple garbage bags since they don't take up much space. A back-up pair of glasses (even from an older prescription) might be handy as well.
Tip For Survival:
Go to your local Dollar Tree, (if you have one), and go to the party section. I found a pack of 60 birthday candles for only $1! They are perfect for making fire in a Survival or SHTF situation.
God Bless!
The metal hasp will rust off. Cover to top half with a heavy plastic bag to cover hinges from direct soil contact, it might prevent cover from failing to seal when you need it most.
Thanks Lilly. Another helpful, educational video! My only thought would be to seal the cache in a trash bag for extra protection from the soil and moisture. As another person commented below, perhaps bury it a bit deeper to avoid freezing and having the canned goods potentially explode. It might also prevent animals (Dax?) from digging it up. Based on the condition of your hands, wipes would be a good idea too!
I used to do a lot of geocaching. Those are rarely, if ever, buried. I have half a notion to hide a cache in a place similar to where I've found geocaches, and save myself the mess and hassle of digging. I think I'll just get me a tupperware box and fill it with some canned food, water, a little ammo, a small knife, a lighter, and some garbage bags. I'll wrap the tupperware in several garbage bags and hide it near here in a covered area just for fun, and see if it's still there in a year or so. Thanks for the fun and useful idea.
One great area to do this is a remote area with easy access. An area only you know but you can't forget. No need for a GPS either. Where might that be? Off from railroad tracks. If you have trains around you area leading to remote places - use this as your bug-out route. Roads and trails will most definitely be crowded or monitored. Meanwhile no one will be traveling the rails. Perhaps make a motorcycle that can be mounted on a platform which could ride on the rails.
great job and excellent infornation. Thank you for sharing. Hope all is well. Keep up the great work.
I keep my survival cache in my basement, the frost starts in Nov and ends in April. Great idea for southern climates but for us northerners its only good half of the year.
Have about 2 dozen of the same military surplus first aid boxes that I store different things in. You might check into dehydrated paper towels which are about the diameter of a nickel and about 4-5 nickels high. A couple drops of water and you have a biodegradable towel 8 1/2 inches x 9 inches which you can use to clean up with or wipe your behind which beats bulky toilet paper. Matches are nice, but maybe not only water proof them, but add a small ferro rod.
loving the new updated intro! keep up the amazing videos Lilly
I would say get rid of the caned food go for freeze dried pouch food you can fit more in and it will always stay good to eat, get a small life straw water purifier and a 7.5 minute quadrangle map of the immediate area where the box is stashed put another cache box at the edge of that map with the adjoining map in it and so on till you build a block that is 5 maps 5 caches have one with a small pack and some things the others do not have.
Lilly just a side note, I am familiar with the case you are using. It is fairly sturdy, but the plastic is reactive with liquid mosquito repellant it can make the cases plastic deform/melt it it comes in contact for a long period of time.
A good idea. You should place all your loose items in ziplok storage bags to protect it from condensation of gasket failure.
A really good tips. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Somebody else, and there may be more, brought up the point about freezing, especially with the cans. Cans usually contain water (even spam). So unless you bury your cache below the frost line (maybe about 3 feet) you will have a mess! I was thinking about the vids Lily made about dehydrating vegies and meats - that would work.
A couple of tips, you can often make a less expensive container with PVC pipe and fittings, the larger size of course. Also I like o put a couple of old nails or broken metal in the dirt over the cache. If someone is searching the woods with a metal detector they miight find your cache but they will find the metal first and might not dig further down. You can also use a metal detector, or a cellphone app that does the same thing, to find your cache yourself. You can even make a metal detector out of a cheap am radio and calculator, instructions how are easily available online.
Something else most people do not think about is caching items for their animals.. i noticed your dog follows you into the woods in most of your videos..you may want to find a pet friendly first aid kit to add items if he unfortunately gets injured,maybe even a small toy or treat to comfort him because if you should ever have to use your bugout camp he will feel your tension as well
If you bury the case upside down there is less chance of water leaking in if the seal fails. Great video.
Hi Lilly:
I must complement you on your videos. You have the instincts of a good TV director: finding shots and points of view to illustrate your message. Your editing is excellent, as well. And, it's always nice to see Dax in your videos.
another good idea is plant potatoes and other veg near your bugout camp.
Nicely hidden - a casual or hurried passer-by likely would never notice what's been done there. Thanks for the tips and suggestions.
Lilly is so smart. Thank you for another great vid.
Excellent job returning the litter to mask your cache nice.
Lilly...its like some kind of "clown" box.. Hahahaaa! You just kept pulling so much stuff out of there! Great ideas.
Not sure if its been mentioned. But stick OXO cubes (always come in handy) and salt/pepper sachets inside the water container for space saving, including your water and water purify tablets too. Maybe few of your other items will fit in there too to save room in the whole box for other important items like perhaps an extra can of food. Also wrap the water container in elastic bands and a strip of duct tape. (They too come in very handy in survival situations)
Just gave you a shout out on my Off The Grid Living Facebook page thanks for the awesome videos to share with my followers. Keep up the amazing work.
Amazing just how much you could fit into that little box!
Rodents (especially rats) can chew through even the thickest plastic. Might I suggest you add some desiccate packs to keep ANY moisture out.
I would put an emergency blanket or bivy in there as well. can be used as a way to stay warm and dry as well as a shelter.
I'm sure we all have good ideas of what to put in that box but there is only so much room in that box. Eventually she would need excavation equipment to bury a 20 foot c-van.
Another great idea Lilly, thank you.
Some people are concerned about metal detectors revealing a cache. You can use 6" wide PVC pipe to avoid a container having any metal latches, although it means having to dig more deeply. You glue a cap on one end, and a threaded screw plate adapter on the other end for easy access. A good way to avoid a metal detector and make locating easy is to plant a shrubbery or other bushy plant on top of the cache burial spot. Make sure to use one common to the area, so it doesn't look peculiar. Also, be sure to write down the GPS coordinates and keep in a safe place.
The more videos I watch from you, the more I fall in love with...Dax. He so steals the show, great dog, really! :D
Beautiful mate, thanks.
Also consider the winter. How deep is the frost line and can anything in the cache be damaged by freezing? Thing like canned foods could freeze and burst.
Great video. Love how Dax walked into everything. Should have shown yourself drinking a coffee when Dax was digging lol.Also I would love it if you did a trash bag shelter, I haven't really seen one.
A smart idea. When the SHTF there will be a whole lot of people who will head out to the woods and it is quite possible indeed that your nice base camp will be taken over, sad to say.
Great video! the only thing that I might do a little different is actually place the first aid container in a trash bag for a little added protection and also place a Mora or some other durable and reasonable sized cutting tool. Thanks for the videos! love every one of them.
That's a good set up in the box well done Lilly. :)
Nice video, something to think about. When putting pouches of water in your cache, keep in mind if the area will freeze and how deep you need to dig to bury your cache to prevent the pouches from freezing. Keep up the good work. Look up the frost line in your area.
Lilly, put a spare pair of glasses or contacts in there.
A lot of that stuff can fit inside the empty canteen.
excellent cache ad container . thanks for the tip about leaves i never would of thought of it ....
BTW, emergency water packets are still good past their expiration date. If you're really not sure, you can always boil it, but it'll still contain less parasites and contaminants than water from a river or spring.
I think that cache should contain the dog's favorite treats!... the dog could also help you find and dig it up.
This is one of the yours most important video ! Very useful ! Thank you, Lilly ! :D
Great Idea. Love the videos keep them coming.
I used a 5gallon Bucket to use as my Cache drops. I am able to fit bottled water, First aid supplies, Pocket Knife, Portable Walter Filter(Sawyer),Batteries, Flashlight, and 4 cans of food and 2lbs of rice, Metal canteen, matches, lighters, and Fishing pole (Disassembled). I bag everything that could be exposed and damaged to water but the buckets typically seal well and you could make your own modifications as well. Just dig a hole were you want your cache and burry it so the lid is just below ground level but obviously make sure you know where the location is, try marking a tree nearby as a example.
Dax is a good assistant when digging is involved.
Great tip. I have several myself spread out here and there in the bush.
GREAT VIDEO !!! LILLY YOU ARE WISE BEYOND YOUR AGE ! YOU ARE BY FAR THE BEST ON YOU TUBE !!!
I would have put the cashe inside a plastic bin liner before burying it with a cloth covering. This will keep the cashe box clean and the cloth covering on top will stop it from getting scratched up when you go and dig it up again.
You might have wanted to have considered putting all those things inside into something like a ziploc type bag to help waterproof things even further. Then maybe even wrapping the box up in a trash bag or wrapping it like a present in plastic to provide an extra layer of protection. What happens if the seal leaks? 2 is 1, 1 is none.
Also adding lots of moisture adsorption packets would be a good idea and an old fashion can opener in case the ring pull breaks off.
I thought the same thing. Even just to keep everything clean from the dirt.
She have a can opener with her Swiss army knife
Look at Dax, he is so cool. Dogs are the funniest people.
Hi, nice video, i would like to add a few ideas.
1. Add some compact way to transport all the stuff when needed in emergency (for example IKEA had the smal backpack that could be compresed in a very small package - 10x10cm)
2. Get rid of the cans because for A) it can be detected with metal detector B) the cache is not deep enough and in winter it will freeze, which can cause the opening of the cans and spiling its content over all the other stuff.
3. The watter container should be watterproof, but i would ad a second layer of protection, mabye just put all the stuff in the garbage bag you already included.
Have a nice day
I think I would wrap those items in ziplock bags as a moisture barrier, too. The ground can be harsh.
Great and quiet organized kit... Gracias... I'll appreciate the share information...
Hi Lilly just found you ,another great video/ info but may I make a few suggestions/ additions if you don't mind, first along with your map you should take a walk by of your cache every 6 months or so as the bush changes with time and forestry workers,2nd there should be 2 waters in there as you may be very thirsty when you get there and need the first one right away saving the 2nd for getting you to the next cache,next you should have anti diarrhea pills and gravol as you will need them,along with hemorrhoid cream,(ever try wiping with leaves, moss or grass for a few days?especially with the runs )a few sleeping pills probably wouldn't hurt either, next a few water purification tabs or a few ounces of bleach(2 drops per quart) None of this takes up much room and will greatly help until you get set up better in the bush. also each cache should have different items that you are going to need (ie) rain gear in one, maybe hammock and tarp in another, tent somewhere else but always have your basic essentials in everyone, food ,water,fire starter ect and socks are very important if you need to travel any amount,maybe have some with half and half clothes especially now with vac sealing bags
Now I am not downing your vid ok as I said great video am just offering some advice that would help out in the bush as the more comfortable you are the easier it will be to survive.
look forward to watching the rest of your vids thx
I would like to make a couple of suggestions. The only plastic item you can bury and it survive is PVC plastic. I have buried several items like what you did. They end up breaking down pretty quick. Believe it or not the metal ammo boxes will stay good in the ground for 10 years plus. They have a special undercoating that really stops the water. Second thing, don't bury something for Dax to find....if he can find it so can some animal, wild or domestic...just some thoughts. Been doing the cache thing for 25+ years. Ammo cans and PVC pipe are all I use nowadays. I love your vids!
