You should have a unit where you can sleep in case of not being able to find a place or having to bug out in woodland areas.

the biggest problem is that it’s being shared with somebody else. You can never trust anybody 100%. If you have to break into your storage cache, then things have obviously gone terribly wrong. Your locker-mate might just assume that you’ve been killed and keep everything, leaving you with nothing.

Make sure you elevate everything off the ground for water damage and rodents. I had to learn the hard way.

We own a business, so we use that as our secondary/backup location for preps. It is 3 miles from our house, so walking distance if needed. We even keep an air mattress there, and the place has everything we need to be a backup shelter in case of emergency (bathroom w/shower, kitchen, etc.). You gave me some great ideas for some things to add to my stash and some areas that I need to improve upon, such as self defense. Hmmm, also some pet preps would be wise. Thanks for the tips!

i lived out of a storage building for about 2 years before getting on my feet again they make great temporary or long term survival housing, just make sure you keep an eye on who sees you coming and going and modify the door so you can lock it from the inside. something i never see on a list of survival gear is a camping shower; basically the one i have is a large water bladder and a kind of nozzle you twist to open or close, can you live without a shower yes, but its good for morale which is key, if your willpower is broken it doesnt matter how prepared you are without drive you're done. I also keep several paperback novels in my bag to offset down time and boredom.

Another good video Sootch. I did have one thought though about the boots: shoe trees. If you're using a non climate controlled unit, extremes of temperature can wreak havoc on leather boots in long storage and cause them to warp. Shoe trees should alleviate this, and shoe creme or even better Danner Boot Dressing liberally applied to the boots will help keep them in good shape.

Thanks Brother. I appreciate the comment.

I do the same thing with my caches. I enjoy your info videos.

We have several different storage units scattered around, they contain actual junk along with “essential” survival supplies. If someone looks inside, all they will see is trash bags, pink totes labeled “baby clothes” and “toys” and trashy looking cardboard boxes. Even if they cut the lock, there’s no reason for anyone to dig through it looking for valuables. I keep a few semi-valuable items right inside the door (circular saw, snap on tool box, etc) so if they’re just looking for a smash-and-grab they’ll be happy with that and move on…. They’ll never find the gun safe (ammo cached separately for safety) or the med supplies or the food. I wouldn’t be too sad losing any one unit full of stuff, but any one unit is enough to save my life if I’m in that kind of a situation. Side note: Lose that key lock. Combination locks are best, and you can share the combo with friends or family in case you’re separated. Watch that exact lock get picked in 20 seconds kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHWOxsmwlJbbkdo.html

I would also add in a couple of adjustable spanners and set of pipe wrenches as well as a hacksaw and good knife some zip ties, hose clamps, electrical tape and some fuses and electrical connectors and cable in with the toolkit

Next, in Storage Wars...

When Superstorm Sandy hit the Northeast we weren’t allowed into the storage facility because the electric was out and the building was flooded. It took a few weeks before we were allowed in. If you’re in a potential flood area it’s not a good idea to use a storage unit for keeping survival gear. Even though I had many things on shelves in case a few inches of water got into the building. It didn’t help when a few feet of water got in. Once things started floating around everything was knocked over. Considering how much you would pay for a storage unit in the rare chance that you need the survival gear in it, I would say you’d be better off getting a cheap old camper, utility trailer, van, or anything mobile that will serve more purpose in a survival situation. I’m only seeing this video now so I’m not blaming anyone for my mistake. 🥴👍

I love this idea of a storage survival cache! Thanks for sharing it. I think it would be a good idea to include several changes of clothes for the family, blankets and pillows, and work gear such as boots, knee pads, leather gloves, eye protection, and a hard hat. If there is a SHTF situation such as a tornado, fire, etc., there is going to be a lot of work to do. Without any protective gear, you won't be able to do any serious work whether its on your own home or your neighbor's/family's.

We have a storage unit for this very purpose. I also decided to get a storage unit to keep some of my firearms and safes in. That way if someone who knows me from my videos or even from work or where ever tries to rob me (at my house) we only have whats on us and ready, otherwise when they break in all they'll find is a little ammo and range gear, if that. Our storage unit lets me pay in cash and use an alias (aside from the primary name on the account, which isnt mine either but rather a trusted non related person). Splitting up gear and having a cache is a great idea.

If you have a bug out location with preps in it, and preps at home, a cool camping weekend could be to go make caches along the main and side ways you'd take to get to that bug out location ... like that, you can leave light after staring in your fort for as long as possible, then gather stuff along the way.

Olukold Meust That's the verb 'cacher', to hide. When conjugated as 'cache' it is pronounced like 'cash'

Its a pet peeve of mine when someone corrects someone else on pronouncing one way or the other. English by nature is a language that has been butchered by outside influences since the saxons and the romans. We all praise Shakespeare yet he pretty well told the rules of the language at the time to piss off yet hundreds of words he made up are now accepted words and phrases

Good idea...Got my own storage unit too store my bike..planning on adding some things for never know..Nice

Food saver vacuum bags work great for reducing size of some bulky items like clothes and blankets. Also for long term storage of a firearm the vacuum bags work great also. I have a 30-06 with scope sealed in a bag. I did give it a bit of a thicker coat of oil first but after a year I have seen no issues with the rifle and the vacuum bag has not leaked air into the rifle.

Toilet paper is VERY important

no, it's not. You can wipe with newspring, magazine pages, etc. TP self destructs, in the bag, never opened, in a couple of years. It's a waste of money to stockpile it. You have to rotate it out, big pita.. You want a round rock, soap and a rag that you wash out.

Storage unit break in suspects arrested thecabin.net/news/local/conway/2014-08-15/storage-unit-break-suspects-arrested#.VAuIiE3jt_Q

I used to store stuff in a storage unit. They had pretty strict rules about what you could store. No ammo, gun powder, primers, flammable liquids, propane tanks, cigarette lighters, for example. I guess the people who rented you a storage unit weren't as strict. Good information in this video. Thanks!

Those East German Rain Packs are great, completely waterproof. I bought one for testing, and 2 for use as a dry bag, and an ammunition/magazine bag. For the price, you can't beat them. Mine came brand new.

I love how people keep saying storage units will be a target be after shtf. Realistically, how many units full of boxes of clothes, furniture, old tools and random junk would someone break into before they realize they're wasting they're time. I have 2 units currently, and when I look into other open units, it's always major appliances, baby furniture and other useless shit. I guarantee a unit like his is literally one in a million.

Keeping your goods in a "storage facility" Is like keeping your gold and silver in a bank "safety" deposit box Big mistake

@PhillipRhodes

Keeping ALL of your stuff in one would be a mistake, sure. Keeping *some* stuff in one as a backup is not a bad idea. Everything is about trade-offs and pros/cons.

Help me understand why I am wrong: I can't see why on earth using a retail storage place would be a good idea. First, they get broken into a lot. A lot, lot. Forget losing thousands of dollars in stuff but you just put more guns on the street. Second, those places are locked down and getting in when SHTF would suck. Even if you did get in, there would more than likely be a line of people taking turns breaking in to those things. I can't imagine letting guns and survival stuff out of my control. That's too many variables that you simply can't control. Where am I wrong?

why have thousands of $ there? all you want/need to be there is the grains/legumes, that you bought locally, during harvest season. It costs about 20c a lb, and you need a ton of it per year per adult. 6 months is all you'll need, if you have non-hybrid seeds and know how to use sprouting techniques. So about $200 per person, plus the cost of the plastic drums and ratwire, which is not much. and some Tang, peanut butter, criso, honey salt. Say another $100 per person. For that to be "thosuands" of dollars would require you to be caching for at least 6 people. NOT a good idea (all at one storage unit). I've used storage units for decades, never had a problem, never personally knew anyone who ever did.

wtf would you have guns or ammo there? wtf would you have lots of guns? Or even much ammo, really. You'll be dead long before you use it. I only own 3 guns and see no reason to bother with having more than 100 centerfire rds at the storage, or at the house, were I not a bullet caster and reloader. If you need to shoot 100 rds, it'll be the death of you. Have as many more at the BOL and you'll be fine. You wont win by MISSING a lot, and if you HIT, you'll not need a lot of rds. Looters wont be wanting to lose combatants like the stupid militaries of today do. 500 or so rds of .22lr, subsonic ones, for your silenced autoloading rifle, at each place is plenty. If you have to shoot, it better be with a BB gun quiet .22, or you're doing too many thing wrong to have any realistic expectation of survival. There's not going to be any game, dogs, cats or fish left 2 months after shtf. Nor any livestock a month after it all goes to hell.

I've had a storage unit for one reason or another for 15 years and never had it broken into. Security is high chain link fence, maybe wire across the top, cameras and a gate with a key pad. No power... just cut the fence or climb it.

We fight it tooth and nail before it get's to a vote. Call your Senators and Reps and make your voice heard. Join the NRA and Gun Owners of America. I'm not giving up.... period.

Yep, at the American Legion, we were talking about this. As soon as I mentioned Toilet Paper, my wife and all the other women there said "we're coming with you" (not a good thing). As far as water goes, it rains enough here to drown a cat. That's why the cat stays indoors (also eagles can't tell the difference between a cat and a rabbit). Great vid sootch00. Keep'm coming!

Went out today and rented a small 5x7 unit in our small town, great idea, thx...

THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS In a SHTF the Government will keep those storage facilities closed and will place a guard to prevent anyone from entering. Having a cache is a good idea but stash it at a relatives home. Its unlikely that both will loose everything
