How to hide stuff?

What is the best way to hide stuff?

Here Are some things I have read about.

Spray paint bars of gold and silver to use as door stops.

Make fake pvc pipes to conceal items.

Another ingenious way is if your hiding something a metal detector can pick up in yard your best is to bury a bunch of nails and other metallic items. That way it's impossible to pick up certain items.

Behind a closet or stairwell, this works if you are smart enough to conceal the opening even if someone looks close. A closet opening can be concealed behind the clothes that hang there a drawer that slides out with the clothes still attached to a bar cut short but that blends in with the other bar the roller mechanism cannot be rolling on the floor out there will be tracks on the floor that will give away your hiding spot.

I always liked empty paint cans and other covert containers, faux shaving cream etc. in the wall between studs gun safes, even behind the Sheetrock if it's that important but sometimes the obvious is the best hiding places.

That good for small stuff. I am thinking more of hiding children and weapons, the tough part is keeping it a secret....

A woman's purse, you can stash Peshitta she can't even find.

These guys make some REALLY cool Peshitta. Expensive stuff, but seems to be super high quality.

Well we seemed to have done a pretty good job hiding the forum! Nobody can find us, ha, ha...

I try to hide the sausage as much as possible.

On a more serious note, this is a great topic. I'm guessing that with negative interest rates just around the corner, we'll all be hiding cash in the near future.

This made me think of one of my favorite things the internet has ever brought us. Perhaps Mr. Antoine Dotson can help:

False walls with plumbing, electrical, etc.. is a good way. Nobody will suspect it is there.
The other buried on an undisclosed location.

I think the first question is hiding indoors or outdoors.

Indoors- false walls are great but a lot of work to do right. Hiding small stuff in plain sight is good but is easy to lose track of what is where. An attached "bunker/room" is bad ass but expensive to pull off well. Other ideas is heating ducts. Put stuff around the bend in vacuum sealed bag with fishing line attached to where you can get to it. If you attic has blown in insulation you wan hide it under the insulation in a sealed bag.

Outdoors- there are bunkers that are cool. There is PVC caches buried vertically which is hard to detect with a metal detector. This is also makes them easy too lose yourself. There are camaflauge caches these can be above ground or a combo of above/below ground. I've seen these don't with old oil tanks that have been parged. There is also buried caches that are made out of the reinforced water tanks. They are usually yellow and ribbed.

A false back on a closet works good, a false block wall on a steel rail system with a hydraulic ram to open or close it works good.
