So, we responded to a fire call a few days ago - massive fire, we lost the house and almost had a forest fire start up...but anyway...

The homeowner was very lucky, the ONLY room we saved was the room with his important papers, photos and all that. Which got me to thinking about some sort of discreet outdoor underground storage solution for important papers and CD-ROM's to keep things in the event of a fire.

I've considered a spackle bucket with Gamma Seal lid, but that's kind of small, and was wondering what other ideas the collective mind here might have. It's going to have to be very weatherproof (obviously) and easy to hide & secure.

I also thought about digging a hole and dropping some cement into the bottom and sticking some metal loops in the wet cement to provide for a place to lock items down.

I looked at a Pelican Case, they seem quite strong and secure too.
