Great to see real world results. I'd dedicate one container to food and water, and a separate container with silica packets for tools and gear. That way if the food & water packaging fails, the gear will probably be fine...

[@pinefilms3141]

wow! I did NOT expect that much to be stored in that small footprint!

[@avidvideo]

It's pretty cool to see a follow-up on something like this. Glad your supplies are intact!

[@deoncrowell5026]

Omg your pistol turned into a SBR in a year

[@PilotPatriot]

I dont know what you're talking about, nothing in there but a freedom hammer and some liberty nails

[@DevilDolphin734]

​@@PilotPatriot I only saw a chest rig, knife, hammer, nails, and coat

[@davidmeissner5010]

I was concerned about the gamma lid, but the tape you sealed it with was brilliant. Good job.

[@GoodOlGuitar]

Absolutely necessary to keep the “tools” in there! Regardless of vacuum seal😉

[@austinwalden3433]

Interesting idea. Let's hope we don't have to bury our guns someday, that's for sure 👍

[@PilotPatriot]

lets hope not.... but If the day comes, it will be too late!!

[@austinwalden3433]

@@PilotPatriot yeah all we can do is be ready for it and 🙏 for the help for our country really needs

[@KhmerShadow]

Bury a spare and hold onto your main, if they capture you you'll know you still have one out there if you manage to escape or are released.

[@austinwalden3433]

@KhmerShadow yep my hunting firearms be out for sure, but the ones I like the most would be bury safe for sure, just in case.

[@buckeyeblaster]

Glad to see it! Everytime I'm in the pet store I debate about getting one of these from your last video. This video really "sealed" the deal for me.

[@HPTuchin]

The only important variable when it comes to depth is the frost line. Which will vary by region. Obviously you want & need to be below the frost line.

[@atox4957]

Why is that?

[@HPTuchin]

@@atox4957 Science put simply. Freezing, expansion & contraction of the ground specificly and any objects subjected to nature. It breaks rocks & molds mountains. A little plastic stash won't stand a chance if left thru fluctuating temperatures of a ground freezing & thawing cycle. That's just speaking of physical integrity, which once lost everything is at natures whim. Let alone any perishable provisions if left to those same circumstances even if physical integrity is maintained. Sure it might make it one year .. of a mild winter. Doesn't mean it will make it the next. As a golden rule .. if you have a frost line in your region... know the frost line in your region if you really want to be able to count on something buried being useful when you need it. If you don't have a Frost line in your region count yourself lucky lol. But you still know you don't have one. Know your frost line.

[@Ak_lyfe]

​@Atox below freezing temps can burst the water bottles, for one thing

[@atox4957]

@@Ak_lyfe ah ok. That makes sense

[@tmkangas19]

How ya’all going to get through the frost?

[@RimfireAddicted70]

I would suggest storing the water bottles vertically and maybe 2-3 in a ziplock bag to aide if they do leak or crack. Having the pack on top ready to go is a great idea. As far as the contractor bags the open end and knots should be on the bottom of the barrel when buried giving you a better run off protection of ground seepage. Overall a great plan and I agree with you bury depth not being 2 feet.

[@LUVDOGS1954]

Nicely done sir, thank you.

[@chiraldude]

Always include the correct "tools" in your cache!

[@KenC69]

Hiding a cashe is a great idea until they build a fn neighborhood over it. Lol

[@trekker8033]

Yeah, had it happen, twice, if you can believe it, though it was roads, not neighborhoods, and in the hills. It taught me to get much smarter about where to put cache's!

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you for the video.

[@glitcherPROXx]

Very nice man thank you for the advice and tips

[@derekhayes2999]

I agree with the comments about separating water into a separate container. The plastic bottles will break down over time and begin to leak, even in stable temp controlled environment. I had cases of water in my cellar that did this after around the 5 year mark. The aluminum bottled water will be good to go indefinitely.

[@zeedaysurvival1975]

If you did bury it deeper you could also bury a small 6 in hand shovel wrapped in a bag just under the surface under the rock. They are cheap and easier to hide. Just a thought

[@billloveless6869]

Good job.

[@jpwtgj3444]

Wrap tools with sharp edges in fabric, then vac seal. Should stay tightly sealed that way.

[@warrenharrison9490]

Only downside in New England, the ground freezes in winter. Can get frost as deep as 4' in the right conditions.

[@edhollingsworth2335]

I think if you buried something in a cold country it would be hell trying to dig it out in winter.

[@WillieMakeit]

Direct lid down hill so water will drain a little better. Great results 👏

[@budfield9544]

I would have to dig 4 to 6 feet to get to the frost line. I would be better off using one of the old mine shafts in our area.

[@bayoustateoutdoors9650]

I no longer put a cache in trash bags, they eventually break down and hold water…..just a waterproof container allows water in go around and back in ground

[@williammccaslin8527]

I would set up a 2nd cache with water in it, not in your primary cache, freeze dry food could go in your primary cache for emergency's, vacuum sealed of course beyond the manufacturers packaging.

[@warrenharrison9490]

I'd put the waters in a second sealed bag in case they leak.

[@UFRooster]

That loss of vacuum seal is common with Food Savers. I tried to seal several things and it fails about 20% of the time. I would love to find a more reliable unit.

[@chuckfinley3152]

Mylar and a hair straightener

[@UFRooster]

@@chuckfinley3152 I have that as well, but even with a Oxygen absorber and trying to siphon out air with a straw it never gets a good vacuum seal.

[@Northwoods208]

Cabela's makes a stainless commercial line of them, I have the smaller one, it's worked great for the past 4 years

[@JohnDoeTheTroll]

The problem is anything you vacuum seal is going to be porous. Plastic is porous, mylar is porous, anything you use, short of metal (yes, I know metal is porous as well) is going to be porous and allow air in over time. If you've ever wondered how dogs can smell drugs that have been vacuum packed in plastic and even hidden in cavities of other things like melons, logs etc. it's because plastics and mylar are porous and the dogs can smell through them!

[@fluxcapacitor05]

Standard 12" bags are for items no thicker than 3/4". To make it work you must use an extra 25% length than normal, and reseal at least twice. The thicker the item, the more dramatic those numbers become. Also, sharp corners will puncture. I have that problem with T-Bones and Porterhouse steaks every time I try packing them. For what it's worth I always place vacupacked t-bones towards the top of the pile. That way weight/pressure from the items above them don't push down onto the sharp edges and cut the seal.

[@wethepeople4918]

i would have about 60 miles from work to home .. my thinking would be about the half way mark have a cache with supplies...

[@scoutndad1941]

What all did you have in the bag? Any food? Backpacking stove? Shoot off some of that ammo in the chest rig that wasn’t vacuum sealed? Nice video and results!

[@PilotPatriot]

It's this bag plus a few extras

[@steve8189]

Heavier contractor bags next time?

[@mrmicro22]

Tools, yes. Food, maybe. Filter, yes. Water, no.

[@silvercommander]

Agree

[@tmkangas19]

It was condensation

[@RegionPrepper]

When you reburied your cache, how did you hide your shovel? Lightly buried also?

[@PilotPatriot]

It's about 20 yards away under some brush

[@breckfreeride]

I could easily detect that with my Garrett atx...

[@FortniteDad12]

Industrial suranwrap will keep the water off almost anything

[@PilotPatriot]

Good idea

[@mal.814]

PVC pipe 1ft diameter 4-5 foot long can put a lot inside it multiple "tools" for long objects. Smaller one with oils ammo and maybe a few spare parts for the tools. Iodine or bleach for water purifier and some camouflage or natural colored clothing. If you're in blue jeans and a red hoodie there's a big sign on your back telling everyone that you are here.

[@aeperformance6765]

And then someone comes with a metal detector, and he's happy as hell 😂

[@TXHillCountry]

Scatter buckshot all over the area and they'll give up soon enough.

[@notreal5311]

Rather than water bottles you cpukd get canned warer aka Blue Can water (50 year ahelf life). More expensive but more sturdy packaging. There's also water foil pouched but only rated for 5 years. For weapons, I'd use a VCI rust inhibitor back and then vaccum seal that. Your vaccum seal failing must have been disappointing.

[@dwaynehowell3846]

I found 60 pound Gamma Vault at Sam’s for $29.98.

Two feet deep is a rediculous suggestion. I was concerned about the way holes sink a couple inches when filled in.

Ummm.... you can look at the date on the original video. It was actually a little over a year

[@leveraction3]

why would you have any na sayers, if nobody's ever done this as a kid, then I've never done anything, but what I do as I take a can of the liner sealer display the outside in the inside of my container, and I do use those lids, so possibly maybe putting a cloth on top would help with the condensation, also some containers I've hidden in the woods and suspended high in trees I've camouflage painted those, I've actually dug up other caches, my friends have buried just to see how theirs turned out, I do vacuum seal clothes, and survival food, as long as three years and checked on them, as good as the day is we buried it, don't go camping national Forest, buried caches, hiking with minimal gear, stay a couple of days living off what we buried, I've even survival rifle, which I will go dig up eventually when time is needed
