Typical Ammo Caches:

Here is a small ammo cache, in a 50 caliber ammo can. This cache holds one or more boxes of each of the calibers that I use the most, plus a surplus cleaning kit, cloth bandoliers, drawstring bag, and surplus dessicant pack. Each box of ammo is sealed in a mylar bag, with a tiny desi-pak, and then clearly labeled as to contents.

Shown here are five ammo can cache containers, all 50 caliber ammo cans. Also shown are disposable baby diapers, surplus dessicant packs, and smaller desi-packs, scrounged from shipping boxes. These containers can now be sealed, or contents can be further protected by placing them in a mylar bag, inside the ammo can.

One 50 caliber ammo can will fit perfectly inside a 3 gal Rubbermaid Roughneck brand plastic storage tub.

Three 50 caliber ammo cans fit inside a 12 gallon Rubbermaid storage tub, or a 14 gal tub (shown), with extra room on top for other items, and six 50 cal cans fit inside an 18 gallon roughneck storage tub in two rows of 3. These storage tubs make good external cache containers, and the lids can be sealed with silicone caulk, if desired.
