Help with burying a float tube?

[pontoonman]

Greetings.

You guys are a wealth of expertise on float tubes. Looking to bounce off some ideas with you. Seeing as how it's kind of quiet here, I wonder if anyone has done this kind of concealment, even if it was with something else.

There are several remote and distant locations from my home base which I alternately visit about once a year. I have some extra Creek 420 float tubes which haven't been used for awhile and were bought at very low cost. So I am wondering all that would be involved if I wanted to bury/conceal them and fins/bulky stuff off a pack trail. Some locations are within 100 feet of salt water and others are in rocky areas. The idea is to reduce the home packing/air transport and carry load each time I make the trip.

-Would PVC tarp material/duct tape be waterproof enough to survive for at least 2 years?
-I am thinking of using a stud finder as fine a location device, and a GPS to get the general area since the terrain may change somewhat over that time.
-The areas are remote enough so that I would not be observed, but I am not concerned about loss. Don't know if animals would be drawn to dig it up, bears, etc.
-What is best way to conceal the top covering after everything is covered?


Thanks,

Pon
