Wolfman,
No need for directions.... just give me coordinates.
I would say AKs are the gun to burry. Just take the pistol grip off and clean the gun good and dry it (hot dry summer day perhaps). Then stuff the bore with vasoline and coat everything completely.
From there, I would put the gun in one of those huge ziplock bags they sell now and wrap it tight to keep as much air out as possible. Then, prepare a block of mags in a similar way.
Next get a 9-inch PVC pipe as previously discussed and close one end (the bottom) with an solid end cap. With the pipe add a container (or possibly two as it is cheap) of the desicating kitty litter. Lower in the gun and then lower in the bag with the mags, and a bag with ammo into the tube. Note it would likely be wise to also attach heavy cord to each component in case you do burry it and you can't reach the bottom or dig it up.
Finally, glue on one of the screw-port type ends so that you can get into the pipe without digging it up.
Cheap, waterproof, the desicant inside will address what little condensate you should get inside the pipe. The plastic will provide a barier to the gun. The vasoline will preserve the metal much like cosmoline.
Now, where is my AK at
Should I be preparred for the odd look I might get at Sam's Club when I ask for the 'Super Giant sized 5 pound tub of Vasoline?'
Did you say lazy or crazy?meh.........I am too lazy to go around burying guns, it is much easier to sit in a clock tower and "vote".
Did you say lazy or crazy?
I can agree with a bit of that Quarterbore, but your Katrina example I disagree with. There was zero reason for disarming folks.
Oh I agree, and I never thought I would see that in this country but it sure as hell did happen. It reminded me of Nazi germany with the storm troopers comming in and stoping people at the road blocks and going door to door collecting guns.
Anybody that thinks it would never happen here had best look at what happened and plan accordingly. It can happen and it DID HAPPEN and it happened in this country where we have something called a Bill Of Rights.
My point above is just that, you can be disarmed and if you preparations assume you will not be, then you may well find yourself grossly unprepared when it does happen and you need that gun to survive!
The point back then, was to "tuck them away for the rainy day", loooooooooooong before the sky even had the slightest hint of any clouds in it. as in "before they are illegal"
OK, here is a reference to what I was refering to. This is video about Hurrican Katrina and the disarming the average citizen

Watch it, think about it, and watch it again.
Then think about just what you would do!
No, next time your buddy wants to go shooting offer to drive and on the way home tell him you need to stop to pick something up. Then you carry one and ask him to help you carry a second without telling him what you want them for.
Report back on the looks you get
Oh yea, perhaps you want to buy a bulk pack of condums too, for the benifit of the nice lady checking you out.
