Stash Bag

[grenfell]

I've never done this, the burying stuff idea but I do have a couple of those plastic screw top cases the military use for mortar shells which I would think should do the job if I ever decided to go down that route. I suppose one has to be prepared to lose the stash either by someone coming across it or it becoming unavailable, perhaps it is nearer an event and thus in the wrong place at the wrong time.
AL when you say you have a couple buried in opposite directions out of town how far away are they? I assume they must be something like a day or twos walk away which I suppose would vary depending upon the nature of an event , time of year and other factors. Do you check on them and renew the contents regularly?
Does anybody consider stashing fuel for their vehicle, 10 gallons of petrol say is quite heavy but would give extra range if necessary.

About an hours walk from where I am now, so no not all that far.

If it was an expensive exercise I might not have done it but for £15 per site I have a solid (waterproof and bug proof) container and 3 days supply of food and water, it's not worth checking on.

I should though, as well as bury more in the garden and keep a check on it. I don't mind digging a hole in the middle of the night every so often if it brings me comfort.

Don't go on the railway. It is very busy with safety checks, keeping the vegetation back, train drivers spotting you etc,etc. Also illegal, could get a fine or worse.

Interesting concept - for me, it would work best as a large screw-top plastic container within a couple hours walk. Probably on hillside/moors. Will consider.

I'm sure people will get very cross with me for posting this, so apologies in advance if I offend.

BUT

Since Mr Beeching/Beaching? (never sure how it's spelt) wielded a strong and razor sharp axe across our railways there are miles of tracks that have been 'left'. I'm sure there will be trespassing problems associated with 'visiting' these miles of, actually they're not tracks any more, they took away the metal and the sleepers so it's more like strange trails across our country

Anyway, I'm just saying that there are miles of railway lines that are no longer railway lines. And that they tend to be tucked away and ignored. But if you went on them you'd be trespassing. Including the old bridges.

It's all prime development land after all.....................

Most of these old railway lines are open to the public now. Here in Hull they have mostly been paved over and are now the cycle routes through town.

That's true for a lot of the old lines, but close(ish) to us is a couple of miles of forgotten line

It is a truly magical natural environment now (so I see thro the chain link fencing)
