Everything You Need To Know About Hiding (Cache) Your GEAR | On3 Jason Salyer

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

I always bury a piece of metal at least a few inches above the cache just in case someone metal detects. It may or may not throw them off.

[@JenniferA886]

Same… although I use washers and screws nails etc randomly placed 👍👍👍

[@LibertyDIY]

It's like spreading chaff everywhere

[@blueridgerealtor]

That’s brilliant!

[@MrKrazyKreationz]

Good idea. But just so you know when I'm out detecting I continue to clean area until all hits are gone. I have found many caches. Now I have never bothered someone's stash. More respect for the fellow person. Plus I'm only looking for old stuff. Just put a large Boulder and maybe a fallen tree over it. Good marker. Always wondered how many people forget where they buried it.

[@eternaladventure-wm5fn]

@@MrKrazyKreationz Yep may or may not work. Just depends on the person.

[@billywalker9223]

In the military, we cached supplies all the time. There's nothing tin foil hat about it. Theoretically, if you live in the country you have an infinite amount of cache locations. Cut the bottom out of a 55 gallon drum, and place it over a cache in the tractor shed. Hollow trees, rock formations, under stumps, out in the woods are good spots. Hollow out hay bales, stack firewood around caches, under feed bags, etc. Having built houses and furniture for years, I could write a book on hidden compartments behind walls, under floors, and secret drawers in furniture. Think outside the box.

[@danrieke9988]

Also, think with sniffer dogs. In addition, a non-descript visual marker, like an old soda bottle or some such that helps you visually target your stash without calling undo attention.

From personal experience grease will break down rubber. Learned this after ruining some o-rings on the tail cap of some very expensive flashlights. If you use anything get as close to 100% pure silicone grease as possible....petroleum jelly destroys rubber over time as well.

[@34979Charlie]

There's allot of acid free greases on the market , the most common being red rubber grease, which preserves rubber just like silicone

They make a specific grease made for aluminum and rubber seals. I've a couple of tubes. It's called NyoGel® 760G. NyoGelR 760G - The Leading Connector Grease The number of electrical connectors and electronic circuits in devices such as cars, planes, appliances industrial machinery, trucks or boats is continuously growing. Failure of these components, from short circuit to continuity loss, present a major concern as issues can vary from nuisance to increased warranty costs to critical safety problems. The constant exposure to moisture, corrosive environments, and vibration can also accelerate the failure or malfunction of connector components Advantages of NyoGel 760G Extend the life of connectors Prevent corrosion Seal & protect from environment Prevent fretting wear Insulate from short circuits Reduce mating force

[@Markus_321go]

Really, really cool follow up video.👍🏻 Also, if you had to leave your home all of a sudden for any reason in the middle of the night (safety was compromised, fire, etc), a well-equipped cache (or several of them) at the perimeter of your AO could be a real lifesaver. Think of it as your rural storage unit that lots of urban preppers talk about.

[@elevatorman7750]

Great video. I did the same thing years ago. My mistake was not marking it. Its still buried somwhere on my property. 😂😂

We used ky jelly for buckets or even ammo cans. You did a pretty good job on the video. A range card of the dig site and coordinates of cache to a known object also a good idea. You may not be the one to retrieve the object ,frago's exist.

[@eddieandjulieklysz458]

Thank you My grandad showed me that when I was five years old that was 59 years ago. We all do melted gold coins down into sinkers then dipped in led and put in glass bottles . Because the government came calling and they would only give you the value of what was stamped with Crown Seal on coins. Like you pay 50 or 2000 dollars for the coin but on the coin was stamped 20 c or $2 that what you would get. In saying that I have always told my kids and grandkids plus friends to only buy gold and silver with No crown Seal or amount on them. The biggest thing was only grandaddy and I know about this he said that when he died that I was to have half of Bottles there was 30 bottles half litre bottle we put a hold at the top to look like sinkers to fish with. Grandad died when I was around 24 years old. My mother and father would not let me have what was in the will or the letter that was written for one as the family was so jealous of the relationship with my grandmother and grandfather as I called them Mum and Dad. I went to my grandparents house and there they were throughout all the bottles of led sinkers into large bins. So I asked if I could have some of the bottles as grandaddy and I made them together I was told no. My uncle kept 3 bottles for him self. I ask will you all be here later today Yes, all said I will see you then. I know there was no way in getting the gold back as I went to the pump and they had put 50 feet of soil on top of the load that came from the grandparents house. At 6 pm that night I went back to the family and asked them if they were happy I didn't get what was left to me they laughed at me and said we have it all. Then I laughed at them and they looked at me.What have you got to laugh about. Ash my uncle to show me the bottle sinker I opened it up pulled one out Tock a knife and shaved the lead off there was the gold they were all gobsmacked I said all these bottles were all gold there was just over an ounce of gold in each sinker. They yelled at me and said why didn't you tell us before I laughed at them and left. They were fighting over the 3 bottles left. Yes some one needs to know that family members can be very bad . God knows all things. Keep up the good job.

Should never use petroleum based sealant on plastic or rubber o-rings. The petroleum will degrade the rubber/plastic. Use silicone based instead.

A lot of people bury caches. Not many people look up though. If you need something quickly, it can be easier to get into a tree, plus you can often find trees that have hollow parts. Probably not the solution for long term storage as quite a bit could go wrong, however if you know something is about to go down, its a good alternative to trying to dog something out in an emergency

I had a good chuckle. Plastic buckets will denigrate in just a couple of years. Use 4" or 6" sewer pvc pipe. The pipe can be be cut to any length. Place a cap on one end, and a clean out plug on the other. Pvc pipe is common in most every yard. It will last many years. It is water proof.

[@jons5898]

Looks like you did a good job burying that cache, I’ll bet everything works fine when you dig it up. I’ve put in many “test” caches around my place in the mountains of Idaho using plastic buckets, PVC pipe and even .50 cal ammo cans that were sprayed with truck bed liner to prevent corrosion. Automatic transmission fluid seems to work well on rubber seals to preserve them and prevent leaks. Everything in my caches has been in great condition when I dug it up and not one has ever been found by a person with a metal detector. Can you imagine how determined someone would have to be to go over even 5 wooded acres with a metal detector to find maybe a couple hundred dollars worth of gear especially after I’ve scattered several pounds of old nuts, bolts and other pieces of scrap metal in the area ? 🤔🤣

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

We leave our tarps for over the tents in a blue barrel at camp. Plus leave another empty blue barrel that we use for water. We don't leave no food besides what grows there because bear.

If your going to Burry it. Cover your stuff with a sheet of clothe of some kind. So when you dig it up you can eat it right out the can without needing to wash the dirt off. When fresh water will be so precious at that point. The best thing to do in my opinion is find a good tree some place & climb it & hollow out a spot higher up & hide your stuff inside. & Then create a false wall that looks like the bark does. & Create a Point of Reference near by so you don't lose it.❤

[@00Klingon]

Water is tenacious. Depending upon where you live, your cache may only be water tight for a few years at best. Water has a way of permeating even plastic containers one molecule at a time and if you wait 4+ years, you may find your cache full of water. The more layers of bags and such will delay this but even a little humidity inside can destroy food and rustable metal items.

[@firestorm8471]

What really works well is to look for freshly opened graves in local cemeteries. Add your long term supplies with the new resident for emergency retrieval in the future. You can pretty much be assured that it will not be disturbed for decades.

Instead of having one main cache that could be compromised or stolen, consider having multiple caches spread out, so that there are always extras to fall back on. You could even bury decoy caches with nothing or random junk in it, and make them slightly easier to find so that they distract potential thieves from your real cache.

Haha, "sod". What we got here where I am is your sand, gravel and rocks, and a few inches down often a thing called caliche, which is like a naturally occurring kind of dirt concrete. OTOH haha "frost line". :D But seriously, do you put it on your own property where thieves and/or government - pretty much the same things - will expect to find stuff and an easier time homing in when looking for it? Do you put it on someone else's property or on public land, which might very well get developed or "improved" and your stuff turned up in the process (or destroyed)? Be a bummer to come looking for your cache and find a building or a road on the spot.

Back in about 1984, when a bad storm came through, my great-uncle’s neighbor had very old oak tree blow down. The tree tore down his fence, and as he was trying to remove the giant rootball, he found an old cast iron lidded pot full of gold coins. The neighbor saw a car passing, and like one should never do, he showed the motorist the pot in the roots of the tree! The unknown motorist said: “OH MY GOD! That could be STOLEN! You need to go tell the sheriff about this! QUICK!” (The neighbor being less than prosperous, had no phone.) So he told the motorist to “Stay here, I’m going for the Sheriff!” He returned about 30 minutes later to find the stranger gone…and no sign of a pot. I was taught from a young age: “If you’ve got a rat in your mouth that weighs 2 pounds, and it’s tail sticks out 8 inches; if someone asks you: ‘Do you got a rat in your mouth?!’ You shake your head and mumble out: ‘Uh-uh!’” Never tell anyone anything!
