One of old man Joplin's in Pleasant Valley. On the way to Timberwolf. He wasn't in their crew, but Wyatt set up his prepper caches.|Sutherland the [[Trader]]}}'''Prepper's Abandoned Cache '''is a location in [[Pleasant Valley]].
== Overview ==
The Prepper's Abandoned Cache is an underground bunker found in north-eastern Pleasant Valley, near a ruined building and an outhouse, not far from the [[Rope Climbing]] section leading to [[Timberwolf Mountain]]. The hatch entrance itself is behind a fallen tree behind the outhouse.

It is an indoor location which contains a [[Bed]], [[Work Bench]], and assorted supplies in lockers or on metal shelves. It was created by Wyatt, [[Trader|Sutherland's]] brother, long ago before it was abandoned.

== Wintermute ==
The cache originally belonged to Tom Joplin, and is the starting point of [[Joplin's Bunker Raid]] in [[Episode 3: Crossroads Elegy]]. It can be accessed as early as the mission [[Coming Storm]], otherwise the entrance will be completely covered up with snow.

2 more of Joplin's caches are found in the episode, but neither caches appear in Survival Mode. [[Forest Talkers]] found the first of his caches, but failed to find the rest.

== Survival Mode ==
While similar in appearance to normal [[prepper cache|Prepper Caches]], the contents of the of the Prepper's Abandoned Cache is static, and will always spawn with the same internal layout. A [[Revolver]] may spawn behind the ladder, hidden behind the [[Crate|Crates]].

A hidden room containing [[A Skeleton And Note]] can be unlocked as part of [[Sutherland's Tale]]. The Prepper's Abandoned Cache will become '''<u>permanently inaccessible</u>''' after returning [[Wyatt's Skeleton]] to it and blowing up the bunker hatch after progressing through the Tale enough.

== Trivia ==

* Most caches in ''The Long Dark'' are marked with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_shelter fallout shelter] signs, signifying their original purpose was to protect the local population in the event of a nuclear attack.
** This is confirmed in Sutherland's Tale, as Wyatt created these caches in case of a Nuclear conflict.
* The vent [[Grate]] inside bunkers may be opened, potentially yielding hidden loot.
