Empty Ammo Can - Steel

Ammo cans are multipurpose and highly versatile. They can be used for anything from hiding survival caches and general storage to helping defend your home – alongside their intended use as ammo storage.

Basically, an ammo can is a durable metal can that locks shut and comes with a seal to keep water and moisture out. When properly shut, they are able to be completely submerged in water for a long period of time and still keep the contents within completely dry.

There’s no question that an ammo can is truly one of the very best containers to use as a survival cache to bury out in the woods somewhere.

A survival cache is simply a container of survival items that you bury at a designated location and that you can go to in order to resupply yourself at a later date, should you ever need to evacuate your home. It’s commonly a good idea to bury your cache en route to a bug out location.

An ammo can, if properly closed and sealed off, can be buried deep into the moist ground and anything that you store inside will be kept completely dry.

The cans are large enough to store a wide variety of items at once. The only real negative is that they can be heavy and a pain to carry around afterward, but you can remedy this by affixing a strap or bungee cord to the handle.

Ammo cans are a very valuable investment for any prepper or shooting enthusiast, and they never cease to be useful in a variety of circumstances.
