Best Cache Storage - Scythe13 - 16 January 2012
Okay people, here's a fun one that Tartar Horde has inspired me to doing.
I want to start making caches!
I have an idea of what I will be storing, but I need to know, how do I keep all the items safe?
I was thinking ammunition cans. But those would rust. I then got to thinking about buying a grave plot and caching a load of stuff into a coffin (grim I know, but it's still a wonderful idea hu? I'll probably go down this route at some point. The funeral of BOB Edward Dale Carry).
What about things like tupperware and that kind of thing?
If I'm burying them, how deep should they be burried?
I'll be burying fuel in those plastic cans you can get, green for petrol and red for diesel. You know the cans I mean. I was thinking of going for a jerry can, but the issue of rust sticks in my mind too long.
Please help if you can.

OK Coffins rot, as do most plastics and PVCs and metals, so most of us cache using plastic drain pipe and stench pipe fittings the wealthirt types silicone screw ends onto 3 to 4 ft lengths, the poorer solvent weld then silicone then tape end caps on, the other day one of us on here talked abour fibreglassing the ends over. Mine are in 6 and 8 inch sections of grey water waste pipe solvent welded and siliconed, 3 ft lengths buried laid flat some 18 inches deep some deeper, some not buried at all.
Some folks use food grade screw top barrels and put a complete kit in them,

Nice one. Thank you NR.
I love the idea of a couple of those big blue drums (only the 30 litre ones).
What about diesel and petrol then? I was thinking the green or red plastic cans you can pick up from a petrol station. How are they?

To ferkin delicate for what you are wanting to use them for, C,mon now think about it, PLASTIC OIL DRUMS like you can scrounge from most trawlermen, shit I've got 3 in my garage I found on Beadnle beach, you see boat owners using em as buffers tied to the sides of their boats. About 30 litres in capacity very tight fitting O ring sealed screw on caps and designed to contain petrochemicals. Those shite plastic fuel cans from petrol stations split along the seams if just dropped from a couple of feet. The blue oil drums are almost indestructable.

Nice one, thank you NR. I was about to ask you what you meant.
Don't forget, you have to explain everything to me as if I lived in a different world. Unfortunately, and fortunately, I had a sugar coated childhood. We never used to go camping, and our holidays had more stars than Orion's belt. So I never got to experience all the things that the great outdoors provided. Neither did I learn any survival skills until about 14 years old, when I wanted to be in the SAS. The only things I learned were from books, videos, a neighbour who was in the forces, and DVD's. I didn't get an opportunity to put those things into practice until about 6 years ago on my 21st birthday when I lived in the Cook Islands for 5 weeks.

To motivate my recruits and cadets to focus on learning I used to walk out onto the drill square and place a Pineapple onto the ground infront of them. Then I would politely advise them that the first person to screw up this morning would get F***ed with the rough end of the pineapple, it was amazing how focused on learning they became
Couirse it would not work with Bristolians they would deliberately start getting answers wrong
