So would a good camouflage in a snowy winter be white paint on a small altoids container hidden in an evergreen tree? Or would it be better to use some hunting camo duct tape for a forest type camouflage? Sorry to bring up snow and winter, but Edmonton already had snow and what they get is never far away from becoming our Manitoba reality...Thank you for the encouragement and keep the ideas coming. I'm a newbie to this all and want to be creative, but not do something impossible for others to find. I think so far my three hides are all somewhat winter friendly but I'm thinking of moving one higher and into a different container for the winter and then switching back to a lower elevation for spring/summer/fall again.

Began caching early this summer and notice that in Manitoba. according to logs I've read, little caching is done in winter. Do any of you cachers in Canada or Northern U.S. have ideas as how to make caches that are winter friendly for cachers? What works and what doesn't . I'm thinking that we need to create separate ones for winter and perhaps disabling them for summer - how would geocaching.com feel about doing this. So many cross-country ski trails would be great for caching on...and no mosquitoes. Should Manitoba cachers list whether or not their caches would even be possible to find in winter? Or should one e-mail the owners? What works and what doesn't. Love some ideas...I just cannot imagine waiting til next summer to cache again. We enjoy it so much as a family...
