Underwater Pipe Cache
« on: October 22, 2013, 12:18:45 PM »
A decent topic that may work better than burying caches in the ground. Though with cold weather/snow-prone areas, trying to hack through a foot or two ice would be no easier than digging up supplies buried in frozen ground. You mileage may vary with this one, but presented for your prepping edification.

I would substitute heavy duty zip ties for the stainless steel pipe clamps.  They cost less, last longer under water, and don't reflect like shiny metal.

Just tie it to a rock and throw it in. Are we allergic to water or what?
