Why Have a Survival Cache?
Even if You Plan to Bug In

There is always a lot of banter on prepping, homesteading, and survival sites about survival caches. Most of the time the talk revolves around having a cache or two along the way from your home to your bug out location and/or between your workplace and home. The reasons for this are obvious if you are planning on bugging out and realize that you could end up on foot and your trip interrupted by the crisis that has caused you to decide to bug out or has you desperately attempting to get home through chaos.
However, there are other reasons that you should consider the survival cache. They are common practice among some hunting groups who don’t want to carry all their gear while on the move and are hunting in a regular area the majority of the time. Also, quite common and much appreciated are those caches intentionally unhidden and openly left for yourself and others in remote locations in difficult terrains like the artic and some of northern Alaska where you could find yourself in bad weather and stranded without enough supplies to survive and move forward.
But the featured article goes more deeply into another type of survival cache, one intended for those whose plan A is to bug in and want to protect their supplies from marauders, looters and those that could be intent on confiscating supplies for repurposing. Years ago, almost every American family had a secret stash location for hiding what was considered luxury items from the tax man’s assessing eyes and in some other western countries like Germany they still don’t attach most household items that we would consider built-ins to their walls for tax purposes. This is a similar type of cache only for a day when having enough food or the gear to survive independently could be what is at stake. Check it out at the link below
