Digging up a Survival - Bug Out - SHTF Cache after 1 year - Coyote Works Desert Bugout Cache

Digging up a Survival - Bug Out - SHTF Cache after 1 year - Desert Survival Bugout Cache
I return to dig up a survival SHTF bug out cache I buried along the route to my bugout location I over a year ago. This was a hasty sustainment cache with minimum preparation. It was a bit of an experiment to see how the cache would hold up over the winter (all 4 seasons) and if the items I put in it would suffer the conditions.
As always, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

[@MarvelDcImage]

Just a suggestion - if burying water do it in a separate cache so if water does burst it does not ruin food and other supplies. Bury them side by side.

[@byronharlow1]

Happy to see someone putting useful stuff in such a cache. Some food, water, toilet paper is mostly more helpful than a ton of guns and rifles and thousands of rounds. Unless you hide that stuff to start a war. Excellent choice. Great idea and all water- and dirtproof. Thanks for this idea.

Coyote Works thanks so much, that would be great! It's so hard to find a good cache container. I didn't suscribe the first time I saw you burry it , and happened to just stumble on your opening the cache video. I made sure to subscribe this time. thanks again!

[@ChacoteOutdoorRecreation]

You proved it. I promise you if you dug that up in a bad world it would be a slice of paradise. Having cache resources is the most overlooked and misunderstood concept in preparedness, when in reality it should be the first thing considered when confiscation and relocation will surely be on the agenda after an event. I often put photographs in with my cache to keep my mind and will strong. This is a perfect example of an along the route resource cache that would definitely provide strength and options. Well Done.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+Chacote Outdoor Recreation I agree completely. I think it's almost impossible to carry with you an amount of gear and supplies to really sustain much of a healthy life. So caches are critical working a plan like mine.. I really like that idea of adding the photos. I also think the mental game is one of the biggest factors in survival. And that could be an invaluable reminder of why you are trying to survive. Cheers!

I really love seeing this kind of stuff ! Keep it up ! Planning myself as well to do some cache burying soon. Will be using PVC pipes that I already prepared. Regards from The Netherlands.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+Dutch Prepper Thank you my friend. I am planning on doing some PVC pipe ones as well. I think ultimately that will prove to be a solid way to go. Good to hear from a like minded brother across the globe!

[@Dutch_Prepper]

Instead of a screw-on lid , I will use glued end-caps on both ends of the pipe. With a decent surface prep and sanding, the PVC glue will make a perfect seal. Melting the material together. I am even thinking of filling them up with Carbon Dioxide (CO2) or Argon (TIG welding gas) , right before sealing them. Both gases are heavier than air. Their large molecule size will also prevent them from escaping through any porous material. This way , anything inside the pipe should last for centuries ;o) Although I have read that PVC is an unstable material, which will breakdown over time. It might be better to use ABS-plastic pipes instead.

[@daviddaviscrawford3669]

Awesomeness! Thanks for the entertainment

[@nmelkhunter1]

We use something similar when we go elk and deer hunting since it allows us to have food and water in a handy place in case we get decide to spend the night away from camp. We will also hang six or so gallon water jugs in trees a couple of days before a hunt so we can travel larger areas and still have plenty of water for ourselves and our horses.

Thanks my friend!

[@worddunlap]

It's good to lay some artifacts in the hole so you can tell if you are digging in the exact spot. Pieces of broken ceramic and/or some types of plastic. Avoid metal in case metal detector clubs are in the area. I used florescent orange trail marking tape in the holes. one shovel head deep.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+worddunlap That's a great idea. And honestly something I hadn't thought of. But it seems like that definitely would help confirm if you were digging in the right spot. Cheers. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@worddunlap]

Nothing like digging in the wrong spot...in an emergency. ;)

[@ralfriedel7779]

@@worddunlap Actually, if you have metal in your cache it is smart to put metal junk in the ground as a decoy, so say for example if someone goes by with a metal detector, chances are you can throw casual searchers off with decoy junk layered at various depths, took that tip from a former Army Special Forces operator

[@andrewallason4530]

Yeah, but if you watch a detectorist, they always keep checking after first sign. Checking the spoil they dig up, and checking the hole.

Good vid. Very few people have done hideys in their locale, testing them, and making appropriate modifications as needed for safe and short/long term storage. Now that you know they work, the more you can stuff them with maximum gear and goods. Person in UK did hidey in a forest area, and returned in year, and almost all was mold and mildewed from humid soil and weather/seasons. Location, location, location ... and a damned good seal on your container (!). Desert and desert highland areas are the best of storage locations for weather/seasons. Vastly different for other locales and weather/seasonal conditions. Rifle, pistol, and individual ammo cleaned and wiped down with gun solvent and gun oil (or rifle grease like military - wipe off later [with also stored wipe down cloth towels] for multipurpose use). Ammo in ammo containers, mags, or clips put into HD ziplocks or mylar (absorbers and desiccants). Ammo breathes, and gunpowder gassifies with age and humidity into nitro (same smell in used military ammo cans). Same ammo still found from Civil War, WW I, and II can still be buried in ground, be viable, and with contact explode (nitro gas and gelling of the gunpowder). Must stop humidity and breathing, ... or allow full breathing of dry ammo. Gunpowder in higher heat locales can out-breath and become dried and dead gun "salts", outgassing all of its volatiles. Only valuable in throwing ammo "from your hand" at the target! Either keep the ammo vital (dry, breathing in short term storage and replacement) or no-breathing atmosphere (absorbers and desiccants, dry in a non-oxygen, non-humidity container for long term storage). Mylar rifle bag with/without gun solvent/oil or grease, or dry rifle storage with absorbers and desiccants. Put rifle and ammo into PVC tubing with PVC cap ends (not the plastic inserts). Duct tape cap edges and you (your locale) will be good to go. 24" deep and horizontal in the zone of aeration (airy soil layer above zone of saturation - water level saturated soil).

[@jim49217]

Good video, time flies so fast but I bet it was dragging for you! Time, Energy and Money (TEM) all come into play (or should) in the full prepping endeavor, I tend to put more time and energy into most things to insure things work out the way I want. When I did my caches I asked myself “What if this item was ruined when I came for it” and “How would it affect our lives/progress” in getting to the Bug out location. I then tried to insure the critical/important items were over protected. Some things I have used that may help: If storing water or other liquids that could freeze, put it/them in the lower center of your container. I wanted clean, dry socks, underwear, gloves and a few other cloth items and used them to insulate the liquids. I put some ridged insulation on top of my containers, say about a foot larger than the container, they use this for shallow foundations and shallow waterlines, just an inch or 2 of the foam insulation can make a big difference and not as heavy as dirt. Good videos, I hope the one on marking/locating them is as good.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+jim49217 Good tips. Thanks for sharing. Makes sense to do everything you can to stack the deck in your favor for keeping things from freezing. I really like the idea of using some sort of styrofoam structure on top of the cache to save digging time. Both in filling the hole, and getting it out as quickly and efficiently as possible. Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate the feedback too. Cheers Casey

[@robertmckinley2886]

Didn't you know that that Jimmy Hoffa was finally found . They found him in a hospital . They found him in the maternity ward. He was organizing labor !!!

If anything rice will absorb moisture and keep other shit safe. You can always drop in few moisture absorbing baggies that dont have any deadly chemicals it self in your kit.

I was doing some research on deep-frost insulated foundations, and I did the math on ground frost in Central Oregon. The Prineville "valley" doesn't have frost penetrate deeper than about 6" (it would normally be less than 4" at the Courthouse on 3rd). But up in the Ochocos or east of Horse Ridge, you'll need about nine-inches of dirt to keep out the frost. The badlands between Bend and Prineville split the difference, with eight-inches being plenty. By burying your cache under 18" of dirt, you have completely eliminated the chance of frost. Excellent. And I'm glad to see that you found your cache from last year. I've been waiting to see how things turned out, and it's a nice surprise to see that nobody stole your stuff. You might want to consider using something like camphor to keep away bugs and other critters. If you use conventional mothballs, the food will absorb the naphthalene and become nasty. Solid camphor can also act as a rust-inhibitor.

Nationwide, 2 feet is deep enough to get below the frontline just about anywhere that doesn't have permafrost. Incidentally, most animals will give up digging before they reach two feet. That's why We bury pets between 2-3 feet deep. ,)

This is awesome. i've got to look into this. the water may have to stay out of mine, as it gets really cold around here, even burried, the frost line is a little too deep) but the rest is probably perfect. (and i live in a fresh water heaven!)

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+JT Medic Thanks my friend! Yeah, even here they say to be really safe you should bury water pipes at 36 inches. But last winter was a cold one here and this cache did fine at 18 inches. I've been burying most of my longer term ones at more like 24 inches. But this country is so rocky it can be damn hard to get a hole that deep! Lol. Cheers Casey

[@jtmonsman]

lol- digging holes that deep is no easy task!!!! thanks for all the ideas man.... good stuff!

[@wolffo999]

excellent!

[@jeffcorbin9967]

If you like peanut butter then you can go dehydrated form, same applies for powdered milk. I've seen people use PVC and that is too restrictive for me a container of this size is perfect or any other plastic container would be good, maybe something with a seal even better. I have even thought of using some Flex seal around the opening to go that extra mile cannot wait to try it out.

Great Info Thanks

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+calmanny For sure. Thanks for watching!

[@mountainman.4478]

great video. I remember last year year when you buried this lol

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+Robert b Man it was hard to wait a whole year to dig that thing up! Lol. Working on a video of burying a gun and some ammo now ;-)

[@mountainman.4478]

the gun and ammo I'm very interested in. hope you use different types of ammo . then shoot the different ammo . that would a great test. also are you going to store the guns in grease . also it's hard to believe it's been a year . wow ! seems like yesterday:)

[@christopherrowley7506]

Hope you remember to make that follow up vid :) It's coming up on three years now!!!

[@pappy451]

great test . i still would probably do the more involved cache prep for longer term stashes , but for a year and probably as much as 2 , that system should work i think . thanks for your efforts and sharing the results .

[@rahkinrah1963]

Thank you sir.

[@shinta201]

awesome! I buried one too, sure is a lot of work to dig a whole though.

[@CoyoteWorks01]

+shinta201 Yes it is! Especially around here where the ground is so hard and rocky!

[@chiraldude]

I would use 2 containers. 1 for liquids and one for dry stuff. Then, put some kitty litter descant in with the dry container. If any liquid did freeze and split a container, the dry stuff would still be good.
