Hiding Stuff In Plain Site

Post by alwayscross »

A little while a go I was siting at a park bench with my girlfriend, I dropped one of my dog tags under the bench so I reached to get it when I realised there was something. There was a small tube under the bench attached with sticky tape, turned out that if you find it you are meant to write your name and leave it in there for later people to find it. Ive been going there for three years and never noticed it, so I was thinking of doing something similar with bug out supplies. Anyone got any ideas or thoughts?

just be aware that

A) someone else might find it

B) it gets wet and ruined

C) the land gets altered (council replaces bench / farmer digs up the hedge row with a jcb)

D) Someone see's you plant a suspicous package and rings the bomb squad
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I found what's kind of like an alleyway which in the past 5 years no one has really gone down, in has water flowing down it. I was thinking there, im not going to hide expensive stuff there just cheap junk that can at least get me home.

The IRA had several cache dug up over the years by the police when some one reported it or found it.
