A smart guy would bury stuff intervals in between.

Don't need to. A farm aint a house in the burbs.

lol an eco infestation is the least of my worries, at least here in Canada.  Before I was itching to buy a RV trailer but didn't have enough money after renewing my car, so I ended up settling for some camping gear instead and pretend it's like my personal RV, lol.

Water, food, shelter, fuel... not necessarily in that exact order depending on location though.



Comfort is nice and I regularly fall in that trap, but keep it in mind.



You can wash your dishes, yourself, from a bucket...and line the bucket and shit in it if you have to. You can also use spare clothes stuffed in your sleeping bag's stuff sack as a pillow.



But we all have different needs or wants.



Water is gold here.... and by default, food. I'd rather sacrifice some comfort to get an extra months worth of food into a small compact space... or have an extra 20 litres of diesel on board.



The fear of losing my stuff to others or the elements also means I store everything in airtight/waterproof cases and I carry a shovel and camo webbing In order to bury/hide caches as I go.



Very few gadgets won't take a NICAD battery either...



Each cache has the ability to exist off it for weeks or more.



Fail-safes are the key... multiplication. Compact as possible but multiples you can hide.


lol I do admit it's more of comfort rather than survival, but tb fair my original goal and intention was mainly for camping and traveling.  



As much as I hate to say it but a car will be useless in a war/natural disaster scenario due to fuel will most likely be unavailable.  The only option to travel is mainly by bike, which is why I'm trying to set up a bugout backpack.

I think RV are one of the coolest assets on the planet, I mean it's literally a mobile home.  There's a lot of old school style RVs parked around in Toronto lately, I guess people are bringing them back out due to the extra free time during the pandemic, just brings back a lot of memories from many years ago.

Man, wish my Mazda had that option, mines only stores around 50l and can travel only 850km max before it needs refueling.

Yesterday I bought a 30lb propane tank along with 12 x 1lb propane bottles and 32lb of briquettes as emergency cooking fuel.



Decided to buy a bottle of all in one multivitamins for health, I'd strongly recommend everyone to buy some too, considering most food these days are just nothing but calories and carbs.
