Great ideas and comments, Thanks all.
Damage from mold, mildew and decay would seem to be the greatest threat, then. I was thinking of an overhead car soft storage bag, but it has a zipper (leaks) and might cost more than what I am trying to hide. I'll look into the vaccum storage bags and flattish tupperware. Carrying large packages to site is difficult due to weight and volume over distance and remaining in stealth might be problematic. That's why I thought maybe several layers of wrap with a tarp and maybe some silicone/armourall preservative If it's on a slight slope and not sitting in a puddle area, would that be good enough is the question...
Finding the cache after a period of time without leaving signs that alert curiosity is the key. But TD's methods have worked in the past, so that is some good info. There are a lot more treasure hunters and devices around now, but they would have to come back with equipment if they even suspected anything. Illicit growers, doomsday preppers, etc. on public lands have complicated things..
I'm not concerned with the tube shell & hardware being lost, but more with the inconvenience of having to share use a second person's tube if one is found and removed. At least some of bladders would be packed in because they need to be tested leakproof to start out.
