The idea is to expand a bit beyond what a given locale allows as EDC, especially when your stay is periodic or temporary.

As you move in the urban environment, where are the blind spots, the plain sight things everyone ignores, simpler camoflague opportunities, etcetera?

How about near an airport or government site where some of your EDC is subject to confiscation?

I'm picturing you finding a really boring book somewhere, converting it into a hollow safe, and stashing it in a library.
Imagine the looks you'd get opening it up and pulling out a knife, rope, and some large, heavy-duty trash bags!
I'm liking this more and more. :-)

I have a friend who used to be homeless in Toronto. He has mental health issues, addictions, etc. He has caches hidden around the city, that hold extra cloths, extra winter coat, a pair of winter boots, sleeping bag, tarp, some food and water. I'm not sure what else he caches, or how exactly he does it, but he recently moved out of Toronto, to a city a few hours West, and he was planning to set up a cache there as well.

A few weeks ago, he was visiting Toronto for medical appointments, and had a huge miscommunication with the person who was supposed to drive him back to his new home. He ended up spending an unplanned, but comfortable night in one of the city parks. He said all his stuff was still exactly where he hid it.

gee.. I was hoping for something like Bruce Willis's storage locker in "RED"... I've always wanted a Swedish K

Caches camoed as: rocks [like hide-a-key]; books; electical boxes; planter bases; stepping stones or pavers; bookends; curtain or blind pulls; damaged and abandoned bird or wasp nest; ....

Hiding geocaches is a parallel activity to this discussion. Lots of ideas out there.

Favourite phrase: "how to keep your geocache from being muggled."

I hadn't thought of such a creative application! Normally I use the public library when I have to do a hit on someone, like so:

I take advantage of the Library of Congress classification system: G for "gun," for example, or even "Glock." But be careful, this system is not foolproof. Once I was thinking of the word "pistol," so I went to P. I found "pad, hygiene." Do you know how hard it is to kill someone with a feminine hygiene pad?

Have fun.

@Bingley: Great idea! I will definitely include the World's Finest Improvised Trauma Bandage in the book cache.

Meanwhile, I need to consult the wise collective as to the book least likely to be disturbed before or after the Tsar Bomba. Suggestions?
