A friend of mine mentioned a method by which he thought the military used or invented (hazy memory on his part, doesn't matter) to bury ammo. That was using PVC Pipe (6" in diameter or some such) with the end caps cemented into place.
That would create a sealed container to bury or otherwise store ammo in a place where it wouldn't otherwise be found. Imagine storing it in the pit of an outhouse--who'd ever find it there?
).
The question I had for him was, supposed you wanted to get the ammo (or whatever is in it) out? How do you get the ammo out?
It's not a trivial thing to cut open a PVC pipe. A saw will do it, but you can't just break in. The ends of the caps that seal over the ends of the pipe will extend down the length of the pipe a couple inches--if you cut there you risk cutting what's inside, unless you've made sure you didn't fill it all the way.
Anyone know about this method or others similar to it? It strikes me as an interesting way to create small caches of ammo or food or whatever.
