Seriously considering burying some of my toys. Anyone have any experience, or have suggestions? I know it sounds paranoid, but I am getting paranoid. I got a feeling some bad shit is coming our way.

I can understand wanting to diversify the storage location of your "goods" in case your house in broken into or house fire, etc. Better than burying is having a local network of trusted folks to for diversification of location. |

Burying weapons is a sensible thing to do when you know that you'll be needing them and need to hide them.
I don't think it makes much sense until an actual war breaks out. Until then, any weaponry will serve you best if kept close at hand to fend off criminals. Hiding them somewhere in your home might make more sense. If you do go ahead with it, I'd suggest purchasing a sturdy, strong, watertight container. Something like a Hardigg Storm Case. Don't try to craft something out of PVC pipes or other assorted rubbish. You do not want moisture destroying your weaponry. You'll also need to store plenty of ammo for your weapons to be of any use. |

Wrap them in plastic, seal it off water tight.
Bury them about 2 feet deep. Send me the GPS coordinates and I will tell you if you did good or not. |

Most chest thumpers will do nothing...there can be no doubt about that. However, it only take a very small percentage of US gun owners to actually DO something for it to become a major fucking mess in this country. |

Kind of pointless to bury them unless there is an imminent threat..
You are only risking damaging your equipment if your packing fails. I haven't heard of any JBTs going door to door yet.. I think you'll be okay. And posting that you have/want to/or will bury weapons on a forum is not a good thing that somebody can find via google. |

Having access to a couple of guns in case of a SHTF is not a bad idea. |

If you think it's time to bury then it's actually time to use them in a disorganized and chaotic manner as each individual resisting is eliminated instead of making a stash surviving the day and exacting a well organized plan of retaliation.

Oh, don't worry. Unless someone has two wooden clubs for hands, anyone can learn to glue end-caps onto a PVC pipe. There really is nothing to it. And that's the extent of any 'building' they would need to do. Some weapons are very amenable to putting into a PVC tube. An AK underfolder has a very small diameter once you take the pistol grip off. Pack it in a drop case, vacuum seal it in plastic with a couple of dessicant packs and a screwdriver to re-install the grip and you're good to go. An AR-15 is wider but it's still do-able if you use a BUIS and take off the grip. |
