How about some cash? Not too much is really needed here. I have $50 in each cache. I too have the Coast Guard approved water, Datrix bars, and some special 5 year emergency bars also. Did I miss something in your picture and list? Is there no rifle ammo? I have special rifle ammo caches with 300-500 rounds. I have also tried to keep 100 rounds for a rifle in every cache.

I have found that 6 gallon buckets will still use the same lids as the 5 gallon variety and give you just that little bit of extra room. When I discovered this, I redid my caches that used buckets (I have different types of caches in different locations).

It appears, sir, that you have the situation well in hand. Now, try to keep them within walking distance, if at all possible. I know of a gentleman not too far from where I reside who has a really good system. The one thing that bothered me about his system is that the nearest one is about 20 miles away from his residence. Too far for me!
