I'm combining knowledge between my other post, about making caches, and this one about storing food in/for caches.

In each cache I want to hide 2-3 things. In 1-2 of those blue barrels from the earlier post.
1. Would be equipment, like clothing, toilet paper, medical supplies, weapons, books, batteries, torches, etc.
2. Would be food, water, and seeds.
3. Would be fuel. Which would be in the seperate blue barrels NR recommended.

All the cache's would be burried underground. So the cool conditions wouldn't be an issue. I'd also try and get some of those iron packets you get in beef jerky, to stop oxygen reacting with any of the items in the food storage barrels.
