WTB: Ammo Cans for Food Cache

[bpowell1014]

Looking for old very inexpensive ammunition cannisters that I can use to cache food on extended backpacking trips (30 days). PM me if you have some. If you're in the NY area, I can drive to you. Otherwise, can pay for shipping. Thanks

Go to your local army surplus store. They should have plenty

[Sarcasm the elf]

Here is where I've gotten them in the past. Never tried to use them caching food.

Why not just use a five gallon bucket?

Nice idea. I bet you use in the kayak too.

Why not just use a five gallon bucket? Probably because they are to big to bury and hide. They stand out like a sore thumb

I've never ordered their ammo cans but I have ordered other stuf from them and had no problems.

What a great idea! You can make this anywhere from 4" to 12" diameter.

Lots of great ideas here-if you want to buy a ammo can, I would suggest your local Bass Pro Shop, they have some nice ammo cans that are plastic and can hold bulky items. Pretty good price as well.

What a great idea.
