This. Very much so. Also, as Scafool noted, no guns. No weapons. Also no money. Absolutely nothing newsworthy. On discovery, a deliberately hidden cache of any sort is going to attract all kinds of attention from the 'War on Drugs' to the 'War on Terror.' Not quite the attention you want when you just want to keep a silcock key around.

Also, stashing various items (whatever they are) in 'public areas' (including National Forests if left in place over 14 days) is unlawful. Don't do it.
