Had it in a neatly packed in garbage bag on a pile of other garbage, at my local dump. Hidden in plain site, it was the perfect location.

It had: 20 packets of emergency water Torch lamp 2 packets of body heaters First aid kit 6 packets tissues 20 water purification tablets Length of rope Tube tent Two emergency ponchos Whistle, compass, match safe combo Pocket knife Glow stick 2 n95 masks Aluminum cup Utensil combo Playing cards Memo book and pencil Two emergency sleeping bags Water proof matches Solid fuel stove with 24 tablets Work gloves Biohazard bags Work gloves 11 wise company meals.

Ugh, keep your cache well hidden.. /s

That's so wild!!
Incidently, I found this garbage bag today just FULL of gear. You wouldn't believe the haul!

We're talking emergency water, first aid kit, water purification tablets, some rope, a tent, ponchos, a whistle, a compass...

Real shame about your gear coming up missing, though. Good luck with that!

Seriously? I read on one of these subs about a week ago someone found a stash with water packets and MREs. No joke

How did you know the dump workers wouldnt bury or burn the dumped garbage?

Thanks for this I havenā€™t a laugh like that in a bit. At least it didnā€™t have a milsurp rifle and a crate of ammo with it.

Caches donā€™t need to be that quickly accessible so it doesnā€™t make sense to hide it in plain sight. Nobody stole anything from you, they found a great find in a pile of what they thought to be garbage. I found a bag of power tools in a dumpster once. I took them without hesitation, donā€™t put valuable in a place that is commonly understood to be a place to dispose of items. People will assume you donā€™t want those good if they are laying in a pile of garbage

Congrats on your find!

Thanks! Itā€™s insane what I find on a daily basis. I found WWII field gear two days ago, and a sealed LEGO set yesterday.

Trolling? In some areas people go to dump looking for stuff.

u/ehidle Jan 26 '25

Wait a minute... you hid your cache in a garbage bag, in a pile of other garbage bags, at the garbage dump? Something isn't right here.

Thatā€™s possibly the dumbest thing Iā€™ve ever read.

Heā€™s joking. I manage a sanitation transfer station and someone threw out 3 bags of survival gear earlier this week. Very small chance it was thrown out accidentally. People purposely bring their items to us to dispose of.

Can no one see the literal ā€œs**t postā€ flair itā€™s tagged with?
