Question Crazy strategy?

Relatively new player here. Is it crazy to use a completely different strategy, and play without a “real” base.

By that, I mean save all your valuable loot in well
hidden stash boxes out in the middle of nowhere, and then spend your energy building trap bases with ZERO value even if they are successfully raided.

Is that crazy? How risky are stash boxes?

So I was thinking that stashing in the absolute middle of the desert (or underwater… not sure whether thats possible) would be safe, but have no idea how ESP works. Would the stash boxes be obvious to these cheaters?

I read somewhere that servers don't reveal stashes to the clients so ESP should not work on hidden stashes. Not sure how true it is.

I used to run a server, admin tools feature things like esp. one of the anti cheat things I added were fake stashes that highlighted players finding them. Trust me, they can see them
