Doing this for 30 years. IF you go deeper, use sand bags for most of the distance up. They are much easier to lift out if you do not have the tools available. Had a 10 year old cache that this worked well for. Great job getting it done and love the grab and go idea.
I'm sure you've learned to ignore the know-it-all commenters criticizing everything you said or did. At least you are trying something, and sharing your thoughts and experiences with others. It's easy to analyze everything from the other side of the computer or phone. I appreciate your efforts and time to make and post videos.
@@justdewit Why? I've seen commenters saying it should be 2 feet below surface but let's be real... If you find yourself in a situation that you have to bug out with nothing and have to go to the cash....are you going to have a digging tool capable of digging down 2 feet?....maybe could hide a shovel somewhere near by??? I the hard ground I was digging in....going much lower was not an option. And I really don't see why it would be necessary. Thanks for watching!
@@PilotPatriot I agree, once it's out of view, the depth is kinda irrelevant. The container provides an impervious barrier, you could leave it on the surface and smells aren't escaping. After that, all the depth is doing is making you feel better. Chances are, if anything...someone moves the rock and you have trouble finding it anyway. Since an animal can't smell what's in it, they have no reason to dig it up.
They're the type that never does anything, but tells every one else about the "perfect" way to do it. Whether they're talking about DJing with records or camping only in canvas tents, they're a joke.
Great video. Cool dude. Loved the suggestion of putting a backpack in there with your items. I don't entirely trust the Gamma lid seal, by the way it is made. May I suggest putting some sort of drip-proof cover over the top of the lid? I'm think of inverting one of those round, heavy-duty, black rubber feed pans and placing over the top of that screw-on lid. Water should run around that tub and away from the Gamma seal. You can buy them at farm stores, in different sizes. Maybe put a piece of plywood or something on top of that rubber pan too, to protect it against your spade when you dig up the cache. When one buries that container, if might be nice to backfill it with sand, so it's easier to pull the container one day if you ever want to move it or recover it.
Seen a few of these cache videos. Principle much the same. I would say perhaps go a little deeper with the hole, but that's up to you. Love the break down AR.
Water purification tablets and maybe a few straw filters. I'm burying multiple cashes in a few different locations... some with similar items and some with moral boosting provisions like a bottle of rum, smokeless tobacco vacuum sealed bags, seeds, tools, ect...
Now I would have to bury it 4’ deep to prevent water and other liquid items from freezing and bursting. If you cache food, any concerns about animals digging it up? Myself I would probably put any firearm in a 2nd nearby bucket from any food. Love the idea of the dirt on a tarp or bag and raking the oine needles and leaves off to the side.
It's 36 inches where I live. What would be insane to dig a 5 foot hole n cover with 3 foot of dirt to access something your planning to use on the move. If it is at a designated location like a camp or retreat that would make more sense to me.
EMP 333 watch it and teach the children real math, have hardcover books around, everyday skills in the old ways, how to use a compass/hard maps, and basic instinct survival. You did fine.

If you are in a freezing climate where the frost goes down as far as the bottom of that bucket, the water in plastic is ruined in the first year. If you've ever left water in the garage in those bottles in the winter, it causes the plastic inside to form micro-pieces in the water - you can taste it and see it - a slightly cloudy solution. Best to put some unfilled metal water bottles in the bucket (one per person) and a water purification device where you can go to any water source and readily create safe water no matter how bad the source is. Typically you'd go to a nearby creek or also consider a device for capturing rainwater, or use a pot and fire to melt snow.
@@PilotPatriot No problem - didn't know your location but if it doesn't freeze the water should be good for years. Just watched the un-digging of it this morning BTW.
Be warned if you use a container this big make sure you have enough weight in it , these are bad about floating out of the ground in heavy rains If your not sure make sure it's below the freeze line and a heavy rock on top before you cover it up once you get to the rock or 16x16 paver you know your on top of it and can easily locate it with ground rod probe
Thanks for the video. I’m looking for information on burying long term survival stuff, such as tent , stove , basically food, shelter, and self protection self preservation. Can you do video on how to bury tent and air mattress and stuff etc…?
Depending on your area you might want to consider burying it at least 6 inches deep. If you live somewhere that can get a lot of rain over a very short period of time what you covered it with could get washed away to the point the area looks a bit odd and someone diggs it up. Any place that gets a hurricane such as the Gulf coast states or the Atlantic seaboard area. Any survival cache you bury check out it's location from time to time to see if there's any tale tale signs something is buried such as settlement of the dirt and debris covering it. You might want to consider burying it again.
Will this be detected by a Metal Detector or a Mine Field Detector ? I am looking to do this where even a detector cannot find it. You have any suggestions ?
It would definitely be detected. The best advice I've seen is just to hide it in a place where no one will be metal detecting OR I've seen people scatter beer can tabs all over the area so that by the time they dig up the 100th beer tab, they give up and stop looking! lol
Dumb question where can I donate family photos to an archive. When the family lineage died out as it is in my case, who will take all the photos in for storage. Genealogical societies?
@@PilotPatriot ahhh totally get you brother, I just meant this would also be good for that as well if you were looking for something to do that don’t ya think with how good your things held up?
That actually needs to be at least at least the minimum 2' down and you need to put other little metal trinkets on top of it while you're burying it to be deceptive
Considered putting metal objects around the area and may still do that, Not worried about anyone metal detecting in this location. And 2' deeper just was not an option in this hard ground. The goal was to hide it from sight and to protect the items inside it.
Also just curious, you said it should be 2ft deeper. If you have to bug out with nothing in a situation where you need the items in your cache...do you think you will have a shovel with you? Or would you hide a shovel near by your cache?
Truthfully that is nowhere deep enough because you have metal in that thing now so if anybody that knows you that watches your UA-cam channel tube channel could probably figure out where you're at just by your location
Not worried about anyone metal detecting in this area. It's miles from where I live, deep in 100 acres of forest. I think it'll be fine, but thanks for the advise! I appreciate it
Would you recommend using a 5 gallon bucket and tape around lid. I have lots of these. Cannot really afford to buy those dog food containers. They can take all but 3 days of food so l am planning on putting most in ground. Thanks
Watch me dig it up 1 year later!! ua-cam.com/video/P4OzBgEqlOs/v-deo.html
I used to think this sort of thing was nuts
Now I’m taking notes
That was way too shallow, at least where I'm from. The frost line is about 4 feet below the ground.

Yes great vid, thoughtful items, product links. But I mean let's be real tho, that thing should be far lower from the surface...

After you're done you should pepper the surrounding area with old nuts and bolts. To deter a metal detectors.
Really looks great after adding the rock and putting the pine needles back. Can't tell you were even there.
Me gustó la idea de incluir la mochila en el caché. No había pensado en eso. Gracias.

@@PilotPatriot I'm going to have to check out your other videos and possibly subscribe.
@@TAWier thanks!!!
Small amount of booze! Didn’t even think of that and it wouldn’t freeze!
I'm adding a bottle of Dickle to all my caches now, TY 😂
I taught survival skills, top of the lid should be 2 feet below the surface, no worry about water freezing or anyone finding it.
I have caches in Kentucky Wyoming and Arizona. Texas is next.
Do you have like pirate map to keep track of them? 😂
He's so calm doing this with that taser wire in his chest. Lol
Lmao

Depends, With food in Mylar Bags there shouldn't be any smell.
You need to go alot deeper than that below the freeze line.
I don't know where he is, but the freeze line where I am is 6 inches. He sounds like a Georgian so I'd say he's just about right.
It's 36 inches where I live. What would be insane to dig a 5 foot hole n cover with 3 foot of dirt to access something your planning to use on the move. If it is at a designated location like a camp or retreat that would make more sense to me.

For being able to find them, you can bury metal nearby a certain distance from the stash in 3 spots then tragulate where the stash spot is.
i love this

There is an unfilled water bottle and water filter in the backpack. And it doesnt freeze that deep where I am! Thanks for the advice though
@@PilotPatriot No problem - didn't know your location but if it doesn't freeze the water should be good for years. Just watched the un-digging of it this morning BTW.
Thanks, I’ll be using this to hide a locker filled with stuff I rather not have people see but also don’t want to shred.
My type of channel !
I want to build a vault to store things. How do you do that!
Where's all the beer? I looked this video up so that I could make a hidden cache of beer from my wife out in the bushes with my ladder.
Be warned if you use a container this big make sure you have enough weight in it , these are bad about floating out of the ground in heavy rains
If your not sure make sure it's below the freeze line and a heavy rock on top before you cover it up once you get to the rock or 16x16 paver you know your on top of it and can easily locate it with ground rod probe

use a bear barrel or shipping barrel
Awesome video! Thank you!
Did you dig up the ar and destroy the brace ?😊
Of course I did!
Be careful with those. I have one and if it gets rained on some water gets in.
When the world hits the fan a squirrel can never find his nuts. HA HA HA.

Have you checked it recently to make sure it has stayed waterproof and hasn't filled with water?
Stay tuned! I'll do a 1 year check in the next month

what location you buried it at?
Locked in a vault under the library of congress! Only me and Nick Cage are able to get to it!
Shoplifters, Looters , Criminals are invited to play Squid Games.

I have got to buy me a metal detector now, it's just too many treasures out there! LOL...
Make sure you don't use a biodegradable garbage bag to wrap them in, they will fall apart in short order.

that hole isn't nearly deep enough...
why

your not past the frost line in depth....max condensation
