Stored get home bag

[Weetabix]

When I travel, and not in business clothes, I use wool underwear, wool socks, and quick drying shirts and pants.

Got any Amazon links? I've been intending to stock up on this sort of thing for just that reason for a while, but I've not taken time to over-research it yet. I suppose I could start with one item of clothing, then add until I'm there.

I already like SmartWool socks and ExOfficio underwear, so I suppose I'm interested in shirts and pants.

And I agree that CL is overthinking this. And this comes from an over-thinker. I like the idea of stashing stuff with someone you visit in those towns frequently.

One spin on Aesop's buying land and burying idea - buy a funeral plot. They're small, and they expect digging there.

True, but they rarely look favorably on casual digging by visitors.
An accessible above-ground crypt, OTOH...

(In fact, I'm surprised faux crypts with secure storage haven't become a growth industry).

A safe deposit box is a good place for a pistol in a place you fly to, semi-regularly.

Open a checking account w a few hundred bucks, and set the box rent on auto-draft.

Expense.

And vehicular access to crypts is rather like strangers digging....

I'm not sure all the brands I buy is available there. Being Scandinavian, I tend to favor Scandinavian brands that I'm familiar with.
Basically I go to an outdoors store and buy stuff there, I look for models that are for "trekking", "travel" and are said to be "quick drying". Brands like Fjallraven, Haglofs, Tenson, etc all have them, I just try to pick models that would work in town as well as in the outdoors. (Some are a bit too colorful for my taste unless I'm out in the woods.)
Buying one at a time is actually a good idea, especially shirts. I find that it's a bit subjective which ones suits you, you kind of find out which ones you like more as you wear them.

A quick search on Amazon got me these:
Underwear, Icebreaker:

Here's a few shirts of the type I'm talking about (though I havent tried these exact models)

http://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Shor ... ying+shirt

Here's some pants I think looks like they could be good:

Btw, I think a pair of quick drying black zip-off pants are great as an extra pair of pants when you travel. You can use them as shorts, as casual pants, and in an emergency you could even wear them to the office.

Quick drying means polyester or the like. Look for any 'proper' (as in 'not cotton') outdoorsy pants. Not going to make any dress codes, but that shouldn't be an issue.

Try pricing funeral plots.

Helly Hansen - that was the rain gear to have in Alaska.

For which price or slightly more you might be able to find some small scraps of land less conveniently located upon which you could safely bury the same in a sealed barrel, etc. or plop it inside a small shipping container, and beyond your initial investment, cut the ongoing annual costs to just local property taxes, at the sacrifice of the ease and convenience of access, plus the modicum of security, public storage provides.

That's a decent plan in an area where the ground doesn't freeze for months at a time. Not being able to access my cache for half the year is mostly what's kept me from burying anything like that.

If it ever comes down to it, I plan on robbing the living hell out of the nearest individual to get my required supplies.

If you're working on a fishing boat, or at some fixed location where it will be stored. It doesn't pack real well, however. My gear bag contains some lightweight nylon type raingear that stuffs into a very small space, if needed. If you are looking for something that will hold up for the duration of the apockylisp, however, you might want to go with the HH anyway and take the weight/space penalty.

Edit to add; I wouldn't want to hike in HH raingear, either.
