That's a pretty in-depth story but, I think I want my weapons by my side not, buried in the yard.

If I bury them, they win.

I remember lots of stories about how to do this just after the 1993 AWB. SKSs were the weapon of choice, because you could get them for $50. A small investment toward future uncertainties.

Don’t know about burying them. Have been trying to go through Texas Gun Trader to trade a CZ-75 for a Kahr K9, EG Makarov or Stoeger 9mm with no takers. Folks are hanging on to what they have and trying to give me worthless cash for mine. Not interested in Obama money....

Why bury something that you may find yourself suddenly in need of...

Those that would come to take your weapons, are those that they should be used on. You wont have time to dig ‘em up!

I’m also of the “if it’s time to bury ‘em, it’s time to use ‘em,” school. But if you should happen to have an extra or so...

While it might be more work at first, I think we should just bury politicians and bureaucrats for 15 years instead. ;)

Interesting article.

But can’t the Obama ACORN goons use metal detectors and other technology to find buried guns and ammo?

Bury a Gun and Ammo For 15 Years
Backwoods Home Magazine ^ | 03/16/09 | Charles Wood

Posted on Mon Mar 16 14:24:25 2009 by epow

Back in the early 1990s the outlook for the nation in general and gun owners in particular seemed rather grim to many people. A few years earlier in 1986, Congress had banned civilians from owning newly manufactured machine guns. There was ever more strident talk of banning semi-automatic weapons or so called assault weapons. Many of us regarded a semi-automatic rifle as the foundation of a home defense battery. Many of us believed that more laws banning ever more types of guns were imminent. About that time I acquired a Ruger Ranch Rifle through a private sale. I decided to stash it away in a safe place just in case my worst fear was to materialize, another gun ban. The general location of the pipe after the logging was done. It would have helped if I had had a better method of locating the pipe. The general location of the pipe after the logging was done. It would have helped if I had had a better method of locating the pipe.

First order of business was to decide how I would prepare the gun for long-term storage and where I would store it. I decided that for maximum security I needed to bury it. This would keep it safe from all but the most determined government goons. I set about finding an appropriate location. I live in a fairly remote, wooded rural area in the northeast. One day as I was walking in the woods I noticed a hemlock tree had blown down and been uprooted by a recent windstorm. There was a small crater about eight feet across and three feet deep where the root ball had been torn out of the ground. It occurred to me that this would be a good spot for my rifle.

A gun buried in the yard is more useless than one locked up with the ammo in one room and the gun in the other. Neither are of much value when they’re actually needed.

I also purged the air from the tube with nitrogen before sealing it. This was undoubtedly overkill but I had it available so I used it.

That's too funny. One can never be too prepared.

True story: A friend's grandfather was a child of the Great Depression. He was farmed out as a hired hand and abandoned by his parents. He didn't trust the government or banks. So over the years, he wrapped up all of his savings (cash, coin, gold, jewelry) in multiple, vacuum-sealed jelly jars and buried them all over his property. He worked minimum-wage jobs all of his life. He paid cash for everything through the years: property, house, cars, etc. About ten years ago, on his deathbed, he gave his wife a map to find the money. His kids had a fit, dug it all up and invested it, complaining all the while that the measly $30,000 could have been $x by now. They lost every penny of it this year in the stock market crash.

As my own Great Depression grandfather used to say, "The old man doesn't look so stupid now, does he?"

Consider that you may want to start your own “Recycling”program – collecting cans thrown by the side of the road. Soup cans, bottle caps from your kitchen.

Spent casings from the range [for the metal and powder scent]

You can cheaply set up a number of 'false targets' around where you bury you hardware

If it’s time to bury them, it’s time to use them.

Its just sad that we have to resort to such tactics in the USA.

I note that locating the burial was difficult. One way to overcome some of these problems would be to use an airtight burial vault (designed to protect caskets), designed to be sealed for 100 years.
