If you seal one end of the pipe, then secure the other end with the screw on cap, put your food in vacuum sealed bags, there will be no smell escape. Smell shouldn't be able to escape from a vacuum sealed bag, otherwise it wouldn't be seale...d properly.
Refill and rebury when you empty one, fill it up with your newest dehydrated items.
Lots of people have things like pipe hanging out in their garages, that shouldn't raise alarms, unless you had a ton of them. We have used those for various outdoor crafty things, for specialized weight training and other things.
My first thought was using backyard flower beds in urban areas, no one thinks anything of you digging in your flower beds, then plant annuals over and around them.
These come in very small sizes to very large sizes. I am thinking perhaps the 8" diameter for me, and Home Depot will cut in different lenghths for you, just as they will for lumber.
Bury just under your freeze line, mine here is about 18", I think the water and sewer pipes are buried 2' here.
I am going to experiment with this, leave one 3 months or so and see what happens.
Some are using those large PVC pipes that you seal on one end and can screw cap on the other, after dehydrating foods and sealing in mylar bags, stuff all you can in the pipes and bury them. The pipes will keep the pests out, will not touch your food because you have it in mylar bags. If you choose to do this, according to the survivalist blog I read, don't use anything to mark the spot like pile of rocks or anything, but use landmarks like certain trees, large natural rock formations, etc. Any unnatural markings would also alert others that something is buried there. Some survivalists are using this method to spread food along their "escape" routes should they need to bugout and bury these foods within a normal 2 or 3 day walking distance from each other... oh I don't explain very well, but you get the picture. I don't want to spread mine around, but am thinking about the burial sites as this would be a very well protected weather and pest proof storage with temperature control storage!
And when you run out of storage space, put your most recent food storage items underground! Keep your logs, of course, and develop your own "code" for knowing what is stored at each underground place without revealing this to strangers or LE who may go through your papers.
What do you think?
