Another question: Do you know for certain that you would be traveling in the proper direction to be able to use your stashed resources? With my luck, I would be anywhere else.

And what would you use to cut through chainlink fencing that you would be carrying with you? The only thing that I've found that works is a large pair of bolt cutters, and that would be very low on my list of what I would be likely to have with me.

Just what-iffing...

There are about half a dozen roads that lead to my BOL, all in the same area maybe between 10 to 20 miles apart certainly withing walking distance of each other, so I figured If I chose location along at least three of them that I would able to hit at least one on the way if I was walking, the storage shed would be on the primary route centered between the others, that way I would have a good chance to get to it. Obviously if I was away from ( which I seldom am) I might not make it to the stash, but there is still that chance, even if I'm away from home I still have to either get home, or to the BOL. There is no way to know where your going to be away from home so selecting a location to store supplies is obviously harder but still doable. As far as what to cut a chain link fence, Home Depot sells and I'm sure other hardware stores also sell a standard plier size pair of bolt cutters that would easly fit in a BOB bag.

A fencing tool for barbed wire fences would do chain link as well, IMO. I've got one of those on my "to get this year list" from the local feed & seed store.

"...A fencing tool for barbed wire fences would do chain link as well, IMO..."

Probably would, but a strong grip will be required. Fencing pliers are a great tool, hammer, wire cutters, staple puller, and more, all wrapped up in one tool...

Not really. Growing up on a farm reaplcing barb wire fence, the fencing pliers will chew through barb wire if you have a nice new sharp tool and bit it then twist it back and forth for a while and finally it breaks loose and even then it takes a lot of muscle.
Home grade chain link maybe you could slowly cut your way through a small hole but the heavier gauge stuff used for commerical applications your going to be there all day and have some very sore arms and hands trying to cut through them.

You could probably get through faster with one of those small pocket hack saws and a couple new blades.
