Episode 113- Cache Sites

Hidden caches are more than buried gear—they’re a way to travel lighter, plan for emergency resupply, and build redundancy into a route. In this episode, Chris and AC explore cache planning for preparedness, outdoor recreation, and unexpected disruptions. They discuss the challenges of long-term storage, including moisture, condensation, soil pressure, and poor seals, along with the features to consider in purpose-built containers and DIY burial tubes. The conversation also covers possible cache and staging locations, route planning, and using topographic maps and physical landmarks to navigate without relying solely on GPS. You’ll hear ideas for what to include in a balanced cache—from water and filtration to food, medical supplies, weather gear, and navigation tools—and why careful planning, legal access, realistic recovery logistics, and operational security matter. Whether you’re refining an emergency plan, preparing for a long hike, or improving your land-navigation skills, this episode offers plenty to consider before you decide what to carry, store, or map out. https://stakeholderprepping.com/f/ep113-hidden-caches-or-cach%C3%A9-in-fancy-french-talk
