    This section of the forum is not public. Also, I figured this would be good information to many others on this site. If I wanted EVERYONE on the internet to see this thread I would have posted it on the General section.

    I'm not concerned with who sees this. They don't know where I reside anyways, except for the Forum Administration. Plus I have many layers of security in use. As for a SHTF scenario and people knowing where my stuff is they could try getting it, however it will be costly for them.

    Great idea.

    As for me, ammo cans to keep it dry and sorted, stored in the basement to keep it cool, ammo will keep for years. Now it's just a matter of hiding it. For now, I have s shelf-like thing built around mine, but it's far from ideal. Next house will have a well hidden closet/compartment/area for it, concrete board and fire board lined.

    You should store them ar least 6" off the ground, in case a water line or heater breaks.
    The only up side regardign theft prevention at our place is. the shop and other "storage" areas are so "organized" It take them 10 minutes to get around the crap.

    Ammo boxes have good seals, and the Job box is water resistant.

    Wait, so how do we know which areas are public and search engine indexed and which aren't? I had no idea.

    That job box idea looks cool. I'm also debating the "gun room" vs. separate safes and storage idea too. Saw some pics of a guy who built a metal cage in his basement because he didn't want to drop the cash on a full concrete safe room. That might be a mid-term option that still gives your family/kids access to your basement during tornadoes, etc. but keeps your guns and ammo locked up. All you guys who reload with kids around, I'm assuming your locked powder magazine has to be separate from your ammo stash too, right...?

    I always just "logged out" and saw which sections I could see and the ones I couldn't.

    I am thinking about putting expanded metal around the room that the ammo and safe are in. Even though the room will not be visible after I get Tim K to hook me up.

    I don't have any firearms due to that damn boating idea. Therefore I don't have any ammo to store. This "buddy of mine" has some cool ideas on stuff that I post on web forums. mmmkay?

    ^^^Something like this.^^^
    I have a 2-stage storage system.
    1. Store the brass in various 5 gal. buckets in garage.
    2. Store projectiles in various range berms around the Front Range and Eastern Plains.
