Caching a gun in the outback

[BillMasen]

Hi guys, I found this video on You tube, its about caching guns, I thought you may enjoy watching it, the man has buried a 22 rifle, mag, ammo and cleaning kit over a year ago, and he digs it up to see how it got on.

None of what I'd be dealing with...rocks, roots, clay, water. I think I'd try vacuum packing the innermost layer using a heavy duty FoodSaver GameSaver roll. Maybe even double pack it. And I'd seriously consider using a PVC pipe with end caps as the outermost layer.

no good in the UK, too much rain.

I think that if I was trying to cache a gun I would solvent weld in into some PVC waste water pipe that would make it totally waterproof.

trouble with caching in the UK, if its not on someone own land there is no control over what happens to it, could come back and find a new house built on top of it. alright if you just cache stuff you can afford to lose but a rifle?
