Have you ever had to stash something in the woods? Share it here, I am going to the woods now and I am travelling very light, I got a stove hidden in a tree stump that I emptied on the underside, it is a very reliable stash with lots of extras, I've got a pouch for my tea and a seperate one for my herb mix, the best of it all is that I can hide anything that fits, and I can always be sure that nobody will discover it.

found a full bottle of vodka and some beers deep in the woods the outher day along with some tent pegs and a tarp ,left them all where they were. came across a massive net rolled up a few months ago and there is a big pond with fish in near by think some tinkers was going to dredge it and get the carp
Just remember exactly where you stash your stuff.
35 years ago me and my mate stashed out home made wood catapults in a tree hollow and forgot which tree!

I did that a few years ago with some fishing gear I buried in a box. Was my best reel too!!!
At the moment I don't have anything but might try a snow shovel if this weather keeps up. I now have three feet of snow on top of my upturned canoe at the moment and its snowing as I type this.
I used to cache food, cooking utensils, sleeping bag and few other items all placed in a plastic dust bin which was buried in a woods not too far from me.
i would say im not keen on the idea as it could be classed as litter if you forget or can't be bothered to retrieve it and also stashing food and nets etc could also harm wildlife. Not saying anyone here would not cover it well enough but someone might find your tins open them eat then chuck them on the ground. I am more of a take in take out person...
I found my best way to hide is in trees, or rocks, also a good hiding place might be any man made structure rarely scattered about but possible, I got one in the electrical box of a shed.
How to make a stash? I was thinking more along the lines of a bit of tin foil and a zip lock bag until I read the thread.
I often leave a tin of food for the next camper who comes along; an old tradition taught to me by a School teacher on climbing trips.

Many many many many years ago (when the Green Goddess's rolled out for the first firemans strike) I did a kind of time capsule stash, you know, back in the day when Blue Peter, How and John Craven were essential viewing after school.
This was at RAF Catterick, when it had the roundabout on the A1, I buried the stash nearby, pretty good as well, using good bearings and pacings from nearby structures. Several postings later I was back there, and the roundabout had gone, replaced by a huge flyover, the embankment was right on top of my stash
Wouldn't it be a pisser to know that some quality kit had been lost, never mind a couple of boxes of compo thrown out by Rockapes and pics of a younger Felicity Kendall.
Hmm, I'm off to have a jolly good think about her again.

I go to the bothies and very often stash the extra fuel,coal.etc for the time.
A wee story and tips for stashin.
My pal wee Sanny told me a story about them burying a barrel and filling it with tins everytime they went to a bothy.Unfortunately all the labels fell off, so they started to play lucky dippin.
Whatever they picked they had to eat, peaches and macaroni, tomato soup and mixed fruit.Mixed with booze it was a right recipe for destruction.
If you do stash cans use a permanent marker on top or bottom.Mice will eat or knaw anthing that is not metal. Use fence stabs as markers, pace out birthday dates if burying.
If you find a stash use only what you need and trade if possible.

We have a rat in parts of this country called a "pack rat." They are very large compared to a normal Norway Rat. I have had canned goods stored in what we refer to as a "fruit house" that they gnawed through the can enough that the liquid in the can ran out. I still wonder how they knew there was food in there. If you have this rat in your country, be advised, a heavy metal container is essential.
We keep all our SWAG hidden in a secret wood where no one dare go but us bad as..s
'SWAG' is that sexy wives and girlfriends? lol
