Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best container for burying a firearm for SHTF?

The MTM Case-Gard Survivor Ammo Can is recommended for its durability, vertical burial design, and double O-ring seal, which protects contents from moisture during long-term underground storage.

How should a firearm be prepared for underground storage?

Clean the firearm thoroughly, apply a quality lubricant like Slip 2000 EWG to all moving parts, and protect external surfaces with a silicone cloth to prevent corrosion.

How deep should a firearm cache be buried?

The cache should be buried below the local frost line to prevent damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The video demonstrates an 80-inch depth for North Dakota conditions.

How can I ensure I can find my buried firearm cache later?

Use a GPS device, like the Garmin Solar Instinct Tactical watch shown, to record precise coordinates of the burial site. Avoid relying solely on surface landmarks.
