My caching program has been in existence for about sixty years. It has evolved over that period, learning from each mistake. It likely peaked about thirty or thirty-five years ago, when I had fuel and emergency supplies scattered all over Alaska. The fuel was for the bush planes, and emergency supplies were generally cached at covert bush strips, generally near mountain passes that were inclined to be weathered in (socked-in).
At this point my caching program is a critical foundation of my prepping/survival project. Most current cache sites are with-in 30 miles of the cabin/shack I reside in. There are several cabins, and debris shelters, with a lot of 55 gallon drums with snap ring lids. The smaller caches are mostly 120mm ammo cans. I like the 17 pound propane tanks for heat and cooking, as it eliminates smoke signals. Two of those tanks full are a pleasant load for an oldman to hump into the wilderness.
I don't bury caches, there are never any humans in the wilderness here, and bears have been my biggest headache over the years, but got that issue resolved. Most of my "Fall-Back" cabins are only 8'x10' with two bunks. That is small but better then a tent at 30 below zero.
Z-CORR and "BLUE-BAGS" work best for long term firearm cache/storage, and an AR-platform rifle fits nicely in a 120 mm ammo can, in fact you can get (2) Two AR-platform rifles in one 120 mm can, plus a boat load of magazines and loose ammo, spare parts and tools.
