Stealthy prepping: Concealing your stockpile in plain sight

06/17/2024 / By HRS Editors

As a prepper, you should prioritize the protection of your survival stockpile before disaster strikes. This ensures that you have access to a well-stocked pantry when SHTF.

If you are worried about not being able to access your main stockpile, try setting up DIY projects so you can hide more supplies in plain sight. By using the techniques below, you can secure your supplies even during survival scenarios. (h/t to AskAPrepper.com)

Camouflaged storage containers

Use various disguised containers to keep your stockpile secure and hide them among your home decor. With some creativity, you can turn ordinary household items into hidden storage containers.

For example, you can hide items in false bottoms of flower pots or false panels in wall decorations. You can also have custom-built compartments in furniture to conceal supplies.

Fake outlet safe

You can buy a fake outlet to hide small valuables such as jewelry or cash. A fake outlet with a hidden compartment is great if you need something that blends seamlessly into the wall.

Faux furniture storage

If you are skilled at woodworking, you can design functional furniture pieces with secret compartments to hide your stockpile. If you aren’t skilled at woodworking, you can commission a coffee table or bedside table with a hidden storage area underneath the surface. Use hinges, magnets, or false bottoms to conceal the compartment in your furniture.

Hidden pantry shelf

Before SHTF, try to turn a regular shelf into a hidden storage space behind a decorative facade. Install a sliding mechanism so you can move the shelf aside to reveal a hidden compartment. Use a picture frame or wall-mounted mirror to camouflage the storage area. This discreet solution will keep your supplies out of sight while also ensuring easy access.

Hollowed-out book safe

If you have a shelf full of books at home, no one would suspect that you have one or several hollowed-out book safes hidden among your real books.

Choose an old hardcover book and repurpose it into a secret hiding spot. Carefully hollow out the pages to create a concealed compartment that can store smaller supplies, such as emergency cash or prescription medication.

These five DIY projects can help you conceal important survival supplies in plain sight.

When preparing your stealth preps, note that you need to strike a balance between accessibility and concealment. Adapt these ideas to suit your survival and prepping needs and living environment.
