I've always thought of using a cache for an extra set of ultralight backpacking supplies. In other words, enough stuff that you could access it having no gear prior, or access it as an addition to what you've got.
1. Tarp
2. Sleeping Bag
3. Fire starter
4. Titanium cup
5. Water bladder
6. Katadyn Hiker filter
7. Fixed blade knife
8. 100' Paracord
9. Food bars
10. Backpack to keep it all in
Pretty inconclusive list, but if you were starting from scratch, I think this would get you by. If you were already carrying gear, this might be good for the tag along who isn't as prepared, or for bartering, or for the mantra that "two is one and one is none."
By the way, I just found your site a few days ago. Great reading!
1. First Aid kit including items like sudafed, Ibuprofin, etc.
2. Water filter.
3. Small tool kit that would include pliers, knife, screwdrivers, Leatherman tool, knife sharpener, fire starter, etc., as well as some wire, tie wraps, duct tape, string, fishing line, or something similar. (So I cheated and put several things in one item - all the items would fit in one small bag or pouch.)
4. Some kind of shelter. Could be a tent or a tarp and appropriate materials and tools to create a shelter.
5. Storage food like sealed wheat along with a grinder.
6. Some storage food that requires little/no prep. SOS bars, MREs, etc.
7. Some bottled water.
8. At least one complete change of clothes including boots, gloves, hat, and a jacket suitable for the local area.
9. A firearm and ammunition.
10. Cooking kit. A pot, pan, utensils, etc.
Hmmm....interesting thought.I think I have a bit different idea of what a cache is.I thought,or believe,a cache is either something you'd bury to pick up later,if possible,or stuff that may be too much to carry to bug out with.My theory of cache is "don't hide anything you absolutely need",as it may not be there,may be inaccessable,or gone bad when you do find it.So,here's my list of goodies!
1. Rope,paracord,whatever.
2. a couple of cheap but sturdy knives.
3.an axe,maybe a roofing hammer,the universal tool
4. a decent size tarp for a tent or shade
5.a good metal canteen,as plastic can crack or degrade
6.Lighters.Matches won't last long,and a zippo or bic will make a spark after its gone dry.
7.A kids fishing set.Even a cheapo rod and reel with cheap lures for 10 bucks is better than none.Even a Barbie rod and reel!
8.A boy scout camp cookset.Like 6 pieces and will do anything.
9.Vise grips,cuts wire,a universal wrench,and a decent hammer in emergency
10.a cheapo medical kit.Comes with enough for the small things
Notice I didn't include guns or ammo,as I'd prefer not to lose them in a SHTF situation.Also notice there is no food,as you don't know if it will be good years from now.Those are what would be in my bugout bag,not a cache I may never see again.All of the items in my cache could easily be found at yard sales or the dollar store for less than 100 bucks on a good sale day.Many of the other item's you have listed are great idea's,as in water filters and such,but I want them on me,not waiting for me.What if you hid your cache in the middle of a SHTF storm? It's gone!
