i think it sounds like you got your sh*t togeather. i plan on doing something similar someday. if you really want to be ready bury a weapon or 2 out there. it owuld be best if you had something that didnt have a papertrail to be fallowed. if one day SHTF is getting close i will report some stuff stolen and have a little buried cache someware.

Quoted: I also have a small subterainian cave that would provide excellent shelter and concealment from whatever or whomever. Is this wierd??????? Not as weird as a superterranean cave would be. . . . [chainsawkill] |

Quoted: Am I the only one who has a hidden cache of ammo, food stuffs, and other supplies buried just in case TSHTF? I live on a small 150 acre ranch in south central Texas and have several 20mm Ammo cans buried with supplies in them. What I have stored is 2000 rds of .223, 1000 rds .40 S&W, non-perishable foods, and first-aid items. These are just in case things get nasty someday. I also have a small subterainian cave that would provide excellent shelter and concealment from whatever or whomever. Is this wierd??????? Bazzy None of my business, but if you're going to do this you might want to do it right. There is a book on caching items available at most gunshows. First thing--don't tell anyone. I promise not to tell, but let's keep it between just us. Also, don't bury this kind of thing on your own property--kinda easy to find especially after posting it here. Third, don't use steel ammo cans as they will rot away faster than you think. Plastic containers are cheap and easy to come by. One last thing--if it is really time to bury stuff, then it is time to USE the stuff you are burying. Think about it. |

[left]I want to ask [b]WHY?[/b] the way i look
at it. if i had to hide to survive. then this world is not worth livin in. most case's if it was bad enough to send in the Army then a lot of people be watching there p's and Q's, and have to bury there weapons. Oh sure i have hiding places but to me its Just not worth it. if i die i die so be it. ive came close to getting killed. about five years ago i was driving my truck the brake's froze up. a train coming strait for me i jumped out right before the train hit my truck. later that day i realized one thing i can be taken out of this world any day any time of this week regardless i had a ar15, ak47, or a AT4 anti-tank weapon. i seen one gun owner ready for the shit hit the fan senario he died of a hart attack! to me you can be prepared for anything(Cave's-Food-Weapons-etc!) but youll be taken out by the least obvious. they will be a very small precentage of people fighting very few and far between.[/left] |

I think it is a great idea. Preparations should include also disasters likely in the area. On my Colorado ranch, I have to worry about blizzards and forest fires mainly, so most of my stores are for that and underground living in case of fire.
I just don't have the cash to build up the supplies to last years. Of course, because I am a ammo maniac, I do have enough ammo to last a decade. |

Anyone remember the fallout shelters of the '50s? It was said that you should buy a gun with one...to use on your neighbors when they try to get in. :(

I too dug a cave, but being in Florida and the water table being only 2 feet from the ground it made it tough.

I haven't got anything buried just yet, but as we don't know what the future holds it's not a bad idea to get ready. Picking up cheapo old single shot shotguns and sporterized/butchered military clunkers through private sales doesn't cost much and might pay off some day. It makes a good excuse to buy a couple more guns, anyway!

Home made "time capsule"...pvc pipe-4or 5 inch....cut to desired length...glue the threaded ends on for caps....can`t remember which is heavier, schedule 40 or sched. 80...anyway, use the heavier stuff!...does sound like the old "bomb shelter" days...sounds like a perfect place for a 870 or 500 "marinecoat" finish.......[shotgun]

SS109 " because I am a ammo maniac, I do have enough ammo to last a decade. "
How much ammo is enough for a decade ? I would like to see some numbers on that . Maybe you have a small subterrian cave filled with it . Don't mind me , I'm jealous . |
