[pct-l] caching - how to do it

[Lee Staley]

Sorry to weigh in so late.  I've had good caching experiences a couple of
times in Socal by stashing food, etc. (extra batteries and so forth) inside
an OP Sack which is then inside a tear resistant FedEx mailer.  Hid the
cache well off trail covered with some brush and leaves (not buried).  Both
times I recovered the cache and it was undisturbed.  The OP Sack and the
FedEx mailer weighed "nothing" and were easy to roll up and pack out.  I
would not do this in bear habitat or near campgrounds (raccoon paradise).
