cache making materials ?

true, but if he find one, he will look harder for more. catch-22

 

Nothing more valuable than some spare ammo and basic bug out gear about a hour's leisurely walk from home. Close enough to get to but far enough away.

I was planning on following 2 is 1 and 1 is none on this and setting up several small caches well separated.

Whynot

 

Kellory has presented a very good explanation of metal detectors and their use.

Personally, a map and compass, with triangulation would be the safe bet.. Old school!! Seems popular for people to stack rocks these days. Lay out a grid of stacked rocks as a clue for yourself, wouldn't have them any place to close to your cache.. Any one fighting brush fires in that area would disturb your stacked rocks, but with others layd out you would have a back up. Just don't put to many in the area..

Old dumps are a popular place for some to look for bottles and other junk.. Not a good place to hide.. Would be best in areas that are less frequented. When it's time to recover your goods there will be less prying eyes.. If you bury metal on your stash, do so in multiple locations ranging out away from the cache..

 

Burying is only one option--there are others---think outside the "box".

 

Espetialy when the snow is waist deep. Some like caves.. Diggin into the side of a hill would work as well..

 

what do these points define?
with just a roll of mason cord, no marker needs be laid at the dig site. and random arrows, or x's on trees or rocks would lead to nothing, unless you knew what to do with them.

 

Very well illustrated . Those markers will not change nor be lost if electronic means are lost.. New post on Packaging for storage is up..
