Any suggestions or ideas on where to hide your toilet paper, money, food, etc.? Some are worried about the government and thugs getting your stash. For toilet paper, unroll toilet paper and stuff inside pillows and pillow cases. Money? If you have crawl space under your house, hook up and fake sewer line and stuff your $$ and vaulables there. This is just a start.....

Neatest thing I ever saw was in a book a few years back. Fellow was making a living showing people how to hide things - he was a carpenter and would modify walls and such for those who don't think a safe is a good idea. One thing he would do was to put a fancy end cap on the end of a divider wall and then attach it with magnets to the wall - it wasn't really attached but it took a really good pull to yank it off the end of the wall. Then you have all that space to the next stud to put stuff in - about 18" deep by 3.5" wide by the height of the wall. Sounds good unless someone is really serious and brings in metal detectors.

We plan to have more than one or two hiding places, so that if thugs come and hold my daughters hostage, we can show them some stuff and hopefully still have some to live on. I don't remember what thread the 'midnight gardener' advice was on, but I sure got some good ideas from that. BTW, for all thugs reading this - 'What stash?'

HUnt up a book (probably nearly out of print) called " How to hide almost anything" by David Krotz {Seriously, that's his name!}

ISBN??? I think it's before ISBN's!

Loompanics Limited is a catalogue of books that cover many different issues-everything from survivalism, to free thinking, etc. They also have quite a good section on how to hide stuff. Do a search and check them out. Interesting catalogue!

My other half and I describe our house as it would be described in a police report if one or both of us should come up missing as : "Signs of a struggle were found".

This, unfortunately, is its normal state.

Scuse me, i gotta run up the trail from the computer to the Living room and then up to the bedroom. Someday, I'll figure out what's under the piles along the way. Rumor has it I own a couch and a recliner. Haven't seen em in a couple days.

Toodles!
