Is the chest outside High Hrothgar safe?

I am on a new character, I would like to lay off buying Breezehome for a while. Can I store some of my items in the offering chest outside High Hrothgar? I noticed that it never respawns items. Lore-wise, Klimmek appears to be the only NPC who touches that chest, so it should be safe. However, any of you used it for long term storage, ever?

I do not believe that chest to be safe and is tied directly to a quest. I would suggest checking out this page here. It lists all the currently known locations in the world with 'safe' storage that will not reset... My personal favourite is the Alchemist's Shack.

No, it is not safe. You must purchase a house if you want to have an absolutely safe place to store things. Otherwise you need to retrieve the item before that area is respawned.

I have stored items in that chest every play through until I bought a house and I never lost a thing
