Island stashes

Island stashes have been seen several times throughout Lost. Island stashes are locations on the island which house hidden objects which are meant to only be found by certain people. Island stashes are mainly employed by The Others, but several survivors have used stashes too.

Soon after Sawyer came to the island, he began hoarding items in his stash, a small pit dug out of the sand under Sawyer's tent, which was covered by a piece of the fuselage from the plane. In this stash, he kept many items, such as books, food, pornography, and medicine. During season one and two, Sawyer kept the guns he had found in his stash, and later, the Virgin Mary statues. Jack then forced him to reveal the stash (which Kate saw) in order to help ease Libby's pain. ("Two for the Road") Soon after Sawyer, Jack, and Kate were taken by the others, Charlie and Hurley raided Sawyer's stash (Charlie had found the stash earlier with the help of Vincent), taking what was needed by the rest of the survivors. ("Flashes Before Your Eyes") Soon after Sawyer returned, he grew angry over his things being taken, and played Hurley for them in a game of Ping Pong, which he lost. ("Enter 77") Sawyer has not employed his stash since.

Though he had claimed to use all of The Swan's food in a large feast, Hurley had instead taken some of the food into the jungle and hidden it in a makeshift shelf. Hurley would occasionally steal off to his stash and eat the food contained there, which included, most notably, ranch dressing and peanut butter. After several weeks of hiding the stash, it was found by Sawyer, who used it to blackmail Hurley into helping him find a tree frog. ("One of Them") Hurley later showed his stash to Libby, and with her help, finally overcame his need for it, and destroyed it. ("Dave")

The tree mark was the location of hidden medical supplies. When Claire fell ill due to the implant, Juliet visited the tree mark, referred to by Ben as "Ethan's old drop-off point," near the caves. Though Juliet told Jack that the medicine at that location had been there since Ethan's time among the survivors, she was lying. A suspicious Sayid and Sawyer followed her, but she talked her way out of their interrogation and returned to the beach camp to give the medicine to Claire. ("One of Us")

Ben's hidden case

During the trip to The Orchid, Ben recovered a hidden case behind some rocks. When Locke opened it, it was shown to contain a box of DHARMA Initiative soda crackers, a communication mirror, and binoculars.

Upon opening it, he tossed the crackers to a hungry Hurley. Ben asked for the mirror, which Locke gave him. Locke keeps the binoculars for himself, while Ben comunicates with someone on the mountain using the reflection of light off the mirror, but refuses to reveal to Locke what he said, or who he was communicating with. Ben then reveals to Hurley that the box of crackers he is eating are fifteen years old. ("There's No Place Like Home, Part 1")
