Sup, /prep/ , I'm new to all this but self-reliance is interesting as hell. I've seen a lot of weapons in boards like these, but that got me thinking. Wouldn't it better if one had a very good camo, a distant location and fewer guns? If there are gunshots in city, people will know that you have munition, weapons and supply. Wouldn't silent traps be better for self-defense?(Especially if it is a lone or paired attacker)

I'm thinking that in one spot I'll put guns/ammo and in another I'll put cash.
I'll dig a deep hole, put in my stuff inside a storage container, cover it with a couple feet of dirt. Then I'll cover it with a couple more feet of dirt and drop in a false payoff in case someone goes digging looking for stuff. I'd put in a small amount of cash or some cheap jewelry or a time capsule or something. Then fill the rest of the hole.
I'll try to hide the spots somehow. Maybe plant some flowers or bushes or when I have kids put a sandbox over it.
Do you bury your stuff? Share your strategy.
Burying Emergency Supplies
Don't have my own house yet but when I do I plan to bury some supplies in my backyard.I'm thinking that in one spot I'll put guns/ammo and in another I'll put cash.

http://www.permaculture.co.uk/articles/many-benefits-hugelkultur
Hügelkultur is a composting process employing raised planting beds constructed on top of decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials. The process helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming, thus benefiting plants grown on or near such mounds.[1][2]
Hügelkultur replicates the natural process of decomposition that occurs on forest floors. Trees that fall in a forest often become nurse logs[3] decaying and providing ecological facilitation to seedlings. As the wood decays, its porosity increases allowing it to store water "like a sponge". The water is slowly released back into the environment, benefiting nearby plants.[1]
Mounded hügelkultur beds are ideal for areas where the underlying soil is of poor quality or compacted. They tend to be easier to maintain due to their relative height above the ground.[3] The beds are usually about 3 feet (0.91 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m) in area and about 3 feet (0.91 m) high.[1]

Preppers are fucking idiots who have wet dreams about being heroes and saving the day. All they do is buy guns they have no fucking clue how to use and hoard ammo pushing the prices sky high for normal people. You are arrogant pricks that need to die.

Results of my pot-in-pot "refrigerator": With the current temperatures and humidity where I am, it's suitable for keeping things cool but not to actually refrigerate them. The lowest humidity I had while testing it was ~30%, with an outside temperature of 79F, giving me a zeer pot temp of around 60F at the hottest parts of the day.
