Survival PVC Pipe Cache

[gungate]

Has anyone assembled a PVC pipe cache? I am thinking of making a couple. Not sure the contents I was thinking maybe an AR, ammo, knives, liquor, matches, fishing gear, medical kit, radio, etc.

I am looking for content ideas. Construction I am thinking just a PVC pipe with the ends glued on so would have to be cut off for access. I have seen some plugs but want to make sure this remains water tight.

Also where do people put these? Buried I am sure is an option but also behind a wall? Perhaps as a dummy vent pipe in the house?

I left a few caches back in some big woods on state lands
They’ve been back there for some years now.
Recently I thought about going back and uncovering them to see how well they stood up.
I didn’t leave any Ar’s in them though.
Mostly because I always figured when I went to them I would already be carrying a gun.
I think if I was going to bury some guns they would be in some anti politicos yard or on there property somewhere for additional leverage potential.

By the time you need to use it, you will have forgotten where you buried it.

Don’t laugh, but I used these bottle vaults. Big opening allows for easy insertion of MRE‘s, guns, ammo, etc….

Is that threaded only? What about just glue/push together cap? I was using purple primer plus pvc glue

Id use this for threaded caps after building your "vault" vs having to cut off a sealed cap.
Make your vault with the pvc primer and glue

I have built one but have not buried it yet. Not sure what to put in it...

One end has a plug and is pvc glue sealed with a cap.

The other has an inside plug with a threaded cap. The inside plug can be removed without having to cut off the threaded pipe.

The non-setting pipe thread sealant is a good idea.

Maybe this is ok then.

Might also put a small bag rice/dessicant in there also

If I was to build one, it would be with fully covering end caps, and that purple PVC cement. You just need a handsaw to open it after unearthing it. It’s going to be dormant for a long, long time in the soil. Make sure it’s completely impervious to moisture getting in.

I have two of those, one is "external" for the bottom without the threaded part. The other is "internal" - only the internal can fit when pulled out of the threaded pipe. The bottom has that rounded top cap cemented in place.

I did that in case I wanted in after cementing the threaded part, otherwise, I'd have to cut the pipe.

Everything inside is in VCI(?) bags and extra desiccant also.

I've heard someone recommend painting them and putting them up in a tree.

There's instructions and suggestions for this on every survival site. Search

I know someone who burried an AR7, 22 ammo, Food, knife and other stuff near his work cause he was worried about a day time EMP strike and wanted it to have when walking 15 miles home. Don't know if he was just saying it or he did it.
He said he did not want to have a gun in the car all the time w/ his kids plus he drove into DC sometimes.

I use these to seal my chicken feeder tubes. They seal well enough to keep a driving rain out.
