Re: IK's kill kits... I think they're all in National Parks or Nature Areas and may very well all be near some kind of "Fort". [this is a work in progress]
Known Facts about his "kill kits":
(FOUND) KIT #1. Used kill kit: Keyes had a kill kit stashed in Essex, VT - he stayed at the same Handy Suites motel when he stashed it there in 2009 that he again stayed in when he killed the Curriers in 2011. This is the kill kit he used in 2011 for the Curriers' murder, then transported to Blakes Falls Reservoir in Parishville, NY and buried there. These two kits (The Essex kit and the Parishville kit) are one and the same.
SITE DESCRIPTION: "Israel Keyes buried a "murder kit" at the end of the Woodside Natural Area's Woodside Loop Trail off Vermont 15 near Camp Johnson in 2009 that he would later use in the kidnapping and murder of WIlliam and Lorraine Currier."
ADDITIONAL DESCTIPTION OF KILL KIT LOCATION:
"The park is a hidden suburban oasis. The natural area is found down a steep embankment from Vermont 15 and across a set of railroad tracks. The sound of traffic is nonexistent. There near the park entrance is the Woodside Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility, but no other buildings are in sight. The trails are sound: smooth dirt paths, wooden stairs wedged into slopes, side-by-side planks a foot or two off the ground over marshy spots.
The Woodside Loop trail extends a mile from the nearest parking area, and it is along this path that Israel Keyes walks sometime during this 2009 trip. He carries an orange 5-gallon bucket. Inside he has stashed some of the supplies he will use to murder Bill and Lorraine Currier two years later: ammunition, gun magazines, a flashlight, wires and fasteners — a cache of death similar to the others he has dropped across the country like time bombs.
He adds a drying agent, seals the watertight lid, and, at the farthest point on the loop before it circles back toward civilization, he buries the bucket in the earth."

*MY NOTE: He got a temporary fishing license when he went to VT... and he buried his kill kit in a nature area. Perhaps he carried his bucket like a fisherman, with a pole in hand as well as he walked, on his way to bury it? If so there's likely a feasible fishing hole nearby so nobody would question this.
(FOUND) KIT #2. Unused kill kit: Retrieved from Eagle River, AK. This is the second of only 2 kits that have been found.
DESCRIPTION OF KIT:
"Keyes reveals the location of a second kill kit, this one in Eagle River, Alaska. This cache is designed to dispose of bodies and contains Drano, to speed decomposition, and a shovel. Keyes hadn’t had the chance to use it — and he planned to keep killing if he hadn’t gotten caught."
(same link as above)[*NOTE - I can't find a description of exact location of the Eagle River kill kit. If anyone can help me here, that would be greatly appreaciated.]
*MY NOTE: He kept current fishing licenses for Alaska from approx 2006-2010 that I am aware of at this time (need to double check the info, which is on my map, for exact years. See above for reasoning on the importance of this).
*NOTE: I'm willing to bet he had fishing licenses from these three states: )
(UNFOUND) KIT #3. Texas
(UNFOUND) KIT #4. Washington
(UNFOUND) KIT #5. Wyoming
*NOTE - in at least one instance - VT kill kit - he killed right where the kid was. We already know where he has kits, so perhaps we already know where he has killed? Look for missing in Texas, Washington, Wyoming. We already know his Washington information (one couple, two individuals, etc) so perhaps a focus on Texas and Wyoming would be a more satisfying place to start.
--------------------
*Keyes said he buried murder kits in NY (Parishville), TX, VT (Essex), WA, WY, & alluded to perhaps there being others elsewhere. Parishville, NY likely refers to the fact that he re-buried it in NY after moving it from Essex, VT after the Currier's murder, IMHO
