First, I do not caches weapons and supplies, food in the same cache
second, My weapons caches are roughly 5' long 12" tubes buried vertical, top of caches are 6" below ground or cover by a small boulder. My food caches are 5 gal buckets stored in safe houses, supply caches same or bury in separate tube thats 3' long, buried different location and same configuration.
third, to open my weapon or supply cache you need to dig 6" down and around the cap or move a rock. once the cap is exposed, unscrew it if it is screw on type or pull it of if it is slip on with vaseline. empty cache, put cap on, and hand cover lid. It takes you more then 5 minutes to open empty and close, find a new line of work.
fourth, if you are being followed so close that you can not open the type of cache I just described. Do not go to your cache until you lose the tail...
fifth, I know you want to use all available space in you cache, or maybe digging holes ain't your thing. Many small caches are better then one big one with all your stuff in it. If you lose the big cache you've lost everything, with many small caches few with weapons few with food and few with gear, your lose one you have more... I spent a lot of years in the service of my country, I learned how to do thing the military way. I spent the last 20 years unlearning how to do it their way...Everybody is training to be a soldier, many of us were.... Stop now, train to be a warrior, live like your part of your environment, remember how the soldier you'll meet will do it, but you and I mean you better never do things that way. They know that way and will kill you. Make them spend years figuring out how you do the things you do. Again fight and think like a warrior, and it will take them years to figure you out.
sixth, I should not have to tell you all this, it better become 2nd nature...or you will die...
seventh, it was said by warriors " today is a good day to die". It was also said by another warrior, Gen Patton he would rather " make the other poor SOB die for his country".
eight, end of rant..
