How To Build A SHTF.DIY Budget JIC "Just In Case" CACHE For The Common Man On The Cheap!

This is a quick explanation about how I build "JIC" Type Containers, or Cache Storage Containers that are impervious to humidity, water, air or other contaminates. You don't need to buy a Mossberg JIC just for the case! hahah Use this idea to pack up a wide array of thing for a SHTF or WROL situation or even just to leave gear in the woods that you use at your favorite hunting spot to save you from having to carry it in and out all season! Use this idea to build a SURVIVAL KIT filled with items that you may need in an emergency and leave it at the spot or spots that you might visit or places you visit frequently!
You can store food, rice, beans, canned goods, ammo, ammunition. handguns, rifles, important documents or anything else that you need to be protected from the elements. Use your imagination and have fun building your very own JIC, Just In Case Type of Cache Container!
I hope this tip helped you and saves you all HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS by not having to buy pre-made/pre-built/purpose built caches that cost hundreds for just a single container.
Visit your local commercial specialty plumbing supply company to get 6 or 8 inch PVC to be able to fit even more of your "toys" in this type of cache!

You, sir, are gonna save lives one day when SHTF. As a matter of fact, I'm jumping in my vehicle right now to go to my local hardware store and make 3 of these. Thank you for the instructional video :D Stay frosty, safe, and alive!

[@CanadianPrepper]

Good video, I've yet to get into caching, its seems like sort of a long shot, but you gave me some good ideas thanks.

[@myownruin187]

Great ideas thank you...

[@tangospace4579]

Thank you Master,. I will do that for my Mossberg 500, Thank you for share.

[@tinkerfreak4602]

8 years ago, but still a helpful video

[@MyBigThing2010]

Probably even more applicable nowadays! Thanks for watching!

[@Wardrumsnetwork]

Great tips bro! cheers

[@canadianneo-frontiersmen6165]

I like the jack in the box effect! Lolo....great vid buddy!

[@MyBigThing2010]

thanks man! glad I liked it lol...thanks for watching!

[@kalisvarkrom9937]

I do this to store hand made maps, I never though of using that type of cap. Thank you for showing it here.

[@MyBigThing2010]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and I'm glad it was helpful to you.

[@edwinacevedo8420]

Good idea. U da man.

[@truepatriot2522]

Thanks for the info Sky; glad I come across your channel, as before seeing the video, I was looking to buy a JIC for my 12g Mossberg. Change of plans... Sunday i'm hitting H.D, grabbin the parts I need, and building one. Good looking out with your support for truck drivers. I've been a driver for most of my life; I've driven straight jobs, pulled flat beds, dry box, refer units, containers, them 20' pups w single & twin screws. Fact is, if trucks stop, America stops. I never could understand those that look down on people just because of their job. Dosent matter if youre the fry guy at McDonald's, a garbage man, or a dishwasher, they got my respect, and for the ones that are too good for (certain) jobs, at best, they're the punchline to a bad joke. Sorry for the rant, but I have a tough time dealing with smug fucks and the stupid, but again, I appreciate the info. I subbed cause i'm hoping to learn some more cool shit from ya! God Bless. -Northeast Patriot 🇺🇸

[@MyBigThing2010]

Thanks for stopping by, I couldn't agree more! I'm happy you found the info helpful, thanks for watching!

[@timlipinski2571]

Great idea and video ! And 2015 is the Ten Year Aniversery of Katrina and New Orleans stealing weapons in violation of the Second Admendment ! ! ! tjl

[@gr8sl8m8]

this is cool il make a few of these. be good for bows aswell. thanx. great idea

[@rbarbour64]

melt wax over the metal to keep it from rusting.

[@johnbrowniv]

Robert Barbour good call

[@aidannina494]

Robert Barbour wouldn't that just trap moisture?

[@rubiconoutdoors3492]

Cosmoline and cheese cloth with a little plastic wrap over the top on bolts/wingnuts/hardware is good as well.

[@shaydeinsun]

Most plumbing companies have "pipe boneyards" you can go in and ask if they have one and they usually will give you whatever it is you want. As long as it isn't everything lol. Although sometimes, they do charge you. But it's usually way cheaper than the store.

[@MyBigThing2010]

your very welcome...THANK YOU for watching and for the support man!

[@1948tedebear]

You can special order 6" dia. PVC PIPE and pvc parts to put a screw on end. And after screwing end on dip in wax.

[@robertguetschow7759]

Some grease on the rubber seals of those caps will help to keep them from drying out or degrading, and will also help to improve the seal.

[@MyBigThing2010]

great idea..couldnt hurt......I have used the same handful of these on a ton of construction/plumbing jobs for like 15 years and have put them in and out of pipes and I have yet to have one fail, they are tough as nails....

[@hectordeleon1712]

Wow. You can not take away the weapons out of your mind. You could have used food or supplies, but no. Weapons. You are very creative. WOW...

[@MyBigThing2010]

Oh you mean like I mention at 4:00 & 8:00 .... nice try trolling... try actually watching ther video. ....n this is all 4 inch PVC. I don't know of one rifle that'll actually fit the small inside diameter of 4 inch PVC. Try actually watching the content and not just commenting on thumbnails

[@MyBigThing2010]

Thanks bro, hope that helps a few people save a boat load of cache hahah get it lol jk ....anyways, Im really glad you liked it and thank you for watching and supporting my vids bro!

[@forsetisen]

Teflon tape or anti-seize grease will work well on the threads of the cap.

[@MyBigThing2010]

True, never thought of teflon tape...there's a lot you could use on those threads, even a glob of marine grease would do, messy but it would work lol....thanks for the suggestion, comment and for watching my friend!

[@clintcox4278]

They make silicone grease,it wont hurt the rubber.

[@charlest225]

Have u tested it yet, underground 4 a year, yet just curious

[@rbarbour64]

you can put a piece of pipe in The flare end and you can keep your length of pipe.

[@EdwinDueck]

Great idea, I guess you could use the black 4 inch as well ( sewer pipe ). I know, sounds gross, but that's how I know the black stuff.

[@MyBigThing2010]

yeah you could...just get your supplies from the plumbing supply store locally...way cheaper than home depot or lowes and better selection of sizes. thanks for watching!

[@turtlescycle]

I've seen a lot of instructional videos and they all used white pvc, spray paint it and then it flakes off. Why not just used black conduit right from the start? Less work and it will hold the finish longer. Granted the finish doesn't matter if your going to bury it. I'm talking about the ones that paint it to look better. Great concept though! I love this idea and will be making a 6" tube for my 4-Wheelers using the black conduit.

[@trinidadjames_clothes7884]

U think a threaded pvc cap with some teflon tape would work just the same?

[@MyBigThing2010]

Trinidad James _Clothes not if you plan on burying it. Threaded pvc joints don't do well underground...even if thread taped. Hope that helps.

[@olenamcquagge7777]

WHY NOT GLUE ONE END & put some toilet wax on the other end, slip on the cap, then use rescue tape on the seam where cap and pipe meets?

[@paleogeology9554]

you can buy these caps that are made totally out of plastic so you dont have to worry about the bolt rusting over the long term

[@RayJames552]

The JIC tube for the Mossburg 500 shotgun is 6 inch diameter. The 4 inch could be useful for many things but you need a 6 inch for a shotgun.

[@MyBigThing2010]

Did you even watch the video? I said that.

[@PaganWizard]

A few spritzes of black or white Flex Seal (depending on the color of the PVC) around the wing nut will not only prevent rust and corrosion, but it will also eliminate any attention grabbing glare in the event that, that end of your tube is exposed to sunlight. It will also make the red cap blend in a lot better with the PVC as well.

[@zzyzxzee6374]

My friend did one of these,used a posthole digger down about 6 feet. He checked it two years later,the ground had shifted and broke the container,guns were rusted solid!

[@MyBigThing2010]

haha...sorry but that is just funny right there....that's why you don't use a post hole digger....ever heard of a shovel?...bury them on their side and there's less of a profile to fight any shifting...also it will move easier with a shift...or just know your area and don't bury your stuff in retarded spots.lol thanks for watching and the comment!

[@MyBigThing2010]

btw...your burying stuff for access in an emergency and do it can be readily accessed...not burying a body! 6 feet is WAY OVERKILL! Lol ...work smarter not harder my friend haha

[@clintcox4278]

Buy sch.80 pvc,vac seal your contents.Also bury it laying long ways.What the hell breaks pvc a damn earthquake.

[@MrPutzdad]

What diameter PVC pipe should I use for an optic-ready AR-15 rifle?

[@michaelflores6303]

Measure it

[@Dean4511]

Wonder if it`s possible to make a cache that would be impervious to metal detectors.

[@MyBigThing2010]

this would be your best bet if you didn't put anything metal inside...otherwise if it is possible it would be way expensive, deep and a pain in the ass...better off using this and burying where metal detectors would never be used ...they aren't going to sweep a forest for caches...ever...it'll take too much time n money

[@gr8sl8m8]

now i know how im storing most of my rifels

[@imafriend1336]

Spray graphite on threads

[@MrTarlCabot]

Why not simply use a 5 gallon bucket and lid?

[@MyBigThing2010]

Personally I find it very hard to fit long objects into a short 5 gallon bucket, plus if you were to use a bucket for food and random items you need to do a little more work to ensure the seal. There is something about the buckets that rodents like and I have had better luck avoiding them using PVC....thanks for watching!

[@hey.hombre]

It depends on what you intend to store. A bucket is not long enough for a small rifle, shotgun or breakdown bow and arrows. Maybe a handgun and ammo.

[@MrDein]

I didn't read all the comments, but you could replace that bole and wing-nut with Stainless Steel for 2 or 3$ more. They'd last longer.

[@MyBigThing2010]

yea, it's been mentioned and the hardware that's on it is stainless already...but stainless steel still rusts after time...that's why I mentioned greasing them and a protective cap. thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@MrDein]

Cool, I've been thinking about using this design. (yeah it does rust too)

[@MyBigThing2010]

+Jeff Dein cool! I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful. I can tell you...they work/hold up very well ;) ....nearly indestructible design. also you can just use a cap on each end with pvc cement to store anything non metallic if you want your stuff to be undetectable by metal detectors so it's not dug up and disappear on you. ...if you have access to a metal detector I'd swipe the area first to make sure there's no signals to be sure your cache is never seen by someone else's shovel. great for mylar sealed food with oxygen absorbers...long term storage in a dark, cool place ;) ...also, any non metalic emergency gear like a ceramic knife (antibacterial as a bonus), matches, fire starters, paracord, socks! or anything else you personally use as part of your kit. hope that helps you out!

[@MyBigThing2010]

+Jeff Dein if your unsure about your conditions and mylar being detectable...just use regular foodsaver bags instead.....you really don't need bags at ask if you do a whole one of just pasta, rice or beans...just cement it closed with oxygen absorbers and bury it. you can fit a lot of loose food in one of these using this method.

[@urjnlegend]

MyBigThing2010 how do metal detectors work?

[@2phalanges]

u look like will sasso from mad tv.

[@urjnlegend]

2phalanges you look like 2phlanges from Happy Days

[@nightstringers]

no silly stainless steel Nuts and Bolts for the end caps

[@MyBigThing2010]

ohhhh....they are already stainless...cuz it's plumbing stuff...but you could buy better quality ones add a safety net...I suggested what I did...because even stainless will weather ...stainless is not 100% in anything you buy that is stainless...Ive rusted quality high dollar pocket knives with the best stainless in them even...(sorry about the confusion...it's KZbin and I'm used to answering dumb ass questions and suggestions..I just defaulted to that when I replied to you..so I apologize.) good suggestion...but keep in mind...greasing or covering will still be needed with stainless hardware...

[@urjnlegend]

MyBigThing2010 brass??

[@kyletango]

Just to share with you, I recently found that the word "CACHE" is French for hidden.

[@scottydog636]

So would it be redundant if I called it a hidden cache?

[@urjnlegend]

scottydog636 i prefer the term, caché, since it sounds cooler

[@rogergriggs4638]

use the light green sewer pipe .its cheaper.

[@SgtBooker44]

That’s what she said. 😂😂😂

[@NickNeary79]

ROFL "That's what she said..."

[@josephmeko6238]

People I know have been putting Small Tubes like this in the walls of there Basements Using the Bolt on End as Fake Safes to Keep Money or other Stuff Safe, for Long Term Storage or just when they go out of Town for a while, would you take the chance of opening a sludge tube with just a lot of Waste in, I didn't think so, Besides these are never really thought of and are really over looked as just Pipes There are a lot of other house building items that can be turned into stuff like this.

[@clintcox4278]

Gun powder sniffing dogs will be able to find your firearms in the house,get your stash away from where you live.

[@negativefishermen9286]

Why not just cap one end and glue a female adapter over the other then screw in a male plug so there’s no metal to rust or corrode. You could even install a Schrader valve onto it so you could pull a vacuum on the whole canister afterwords and then fill it with nitrogen

[@MyBigThing2010]

Cole Everett if you want to over complicated it you're more than welcome to...btw the atmosphere we live in is majority nitrogen already....look it up.....the point of the video was to do it on the cheap and easily.. Common man approach. Not too many guys I know have 100% nitrogen gear laying around....

[@davidgomez5116]

Can't someone find it with a metal detector

[@MyBigThing2010]

David Gomez well let's see...there's metal inside and depending on what you put in it...so yes...so don't butt it somewhere where someone is likely to be running a metal detector....if you use a permanent cap on both ends and load it with foods then no a detector won't find it

[@nightstringers]

just replace it with stainless steel it wont rust

[@MyBigThing2010]

you could...but I'm not made of money...n good luck finding real stainless steel in sizes that you need for these type items.. point being pvc is affordable and readily avail to everyone....

[@mohammedkasim9677]

I WOULD LOVE TO DO A PROJECT LIKE THIS, BUT I DON'T WANT PEOPLE THINKING I M BURYING A BOMB\

[@MyBigThing2010]

Mohammed Kasim don't be digging where people can see you!

[@Codidicus]

I liked this just because of "that's what she said."
