The short cache is a special cache that is a short way
from your home. It also is short, meaning it is
short on gear for use in an
unexpected emergency. Which is what any cache is for, but this one is
really short on gear that you can carry in one easy load, or being able to
leave some of your cache for later if needed. My own short cache is within a
five minutes’ drive from my home or a half hour walk. The short cache has some
extra keys for my home and trucks. It has some water and MRE type food just a
few packages. I like canned sardines as they pack
well and give one energy. My
Short Cache has; a few snacks for the sweet tooth, some folding money, plus a
list of phone numbers that I may need in an emergency, it has a few weapons and
ammo, a sleeping system, a light tarp, some warm clothes, a poncho, a few
machetes, camp knives, maps, a writing tablet with pencils, a carry system that
is small and light. Other caches are more extensive and further away. The
short cache is a get you to the other cache with ease. It can also have a few
head lights and a cooking system if needed.
If for some reason your home is compromised, you have
the means to move on if you need to do so. Or to gain access to your home and
or transportation without any fanfare on your part picking your own time of
access. The items I have mentioned are just suggestions for you to add to depending
on your own circumstances, you may want to add insurance copies as well and
copies of important papers. The short cache is meant to provide you for only a
few days, thus the small number of items.
A few important things to keep in mind when preparing
any cache is the container has to be water proof. I like a container within a
container, the means to open the containers, and the means to dig up
your container
if it is under ground. When you have all the items you are going to put into
the container, place them all in the same room for at least 8 hours so they all
are the same temperature. This procedure will help with the problem of
condensation; this includes the container as well. Each item should be in its
own container even if it is just a baggy. You should mark your containers as
well.
Just a suggestion for you to think about. I know many
will have some great ideas to add to the list. A short article about not being
caught short.

Just yesterday, spent a bit of time browsing through an eBook entitled "THE PREPPER'S GUIDE TO CASHES: _____ _____ ____ ____", (time I can't get back), and thinking the author really, really should have consulted with Dude before going to "print" with this. Wink!
ReplyDeletewell its not a "cashes" for one thing and what seems to be confusing for some is that "Cache " is pronounced as "cash" but if one is putting out a book it a least should be spelled right, send them over lol... might do a in depth thing on the art of the cache... been thinking about it for sometime.. thanks Dave ... Dude

Definitely want to waterproof the contents of your cache, and freezer-weight Ziploc bags are an easy way to do that. I had to relearn that in the State Guard, after first learning the lesson back in BoyScouts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a blessed New Year, and can post more soon.
THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS , WATER PROOFING IS A MUST FOR ALL ITEMS DID NOT GO INTO IT HERE FOR THIS SHORT ARTICLE , HOPE TO BE POSTING MORE IN THE HEAR FUTURE... CAPS IS STUCK

ReplyDeleteWhile it’s possible to simply purchase some in-game currency through the game's store there are a few ways to get free ROBLOX ROBUX. It will take much longer since earning ROBUX is very much a grind and could take you tens of hours to get enough to purchase a rare skin, but if you're looking to save a buck or two, then here's how to get yourself some free ROBLOX ROBUX.
