    Good Cheap Cache Containers

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Lowes or Home Depot has a variety of PVC pipe pieces that you can use to make your own containers. Just buy a straight piece with threads on both ends, two caps, et viola: a cheap yet durable container.
    Threaded caps on PVC pipes leak if they're loose enough to open without tools, and they require tools to open if they're tight enough not to leak. Plus, they aren't very inexpensive by the time you finish buying all the bits and pieces.

     

    I once priced making a container out of PVC and it came out to over $12. Hardly cheap, nevermind that I've never found a dry cache inside one.

    I do make some containers out of pvc and it cost me less than that i make mind about 1-2 inch pipes i buy a 12 ft piece and some caps and gule them and than paint them camo and place a log (paper) into them and they are ready to hind that easy//plus i buy my amo boxs for about2-3 buck$$///Iknow people that has an shop that has amo boxs for cheap :)

    I joined this Geocache about a month ago or so. and my cache has still not been posted. As a new person to this hobby, I find it to be very frustrating. Not to mention how poorly designed this website is as far as navigation through it is concerned.

    I do find that is funny this web-site is more than what we deserve they do up grades on a weekly or montly base (Iam guessing) before that i ever place my first cache i did look and learn before 'I JUMPED RIGHT IN THERE" I also keep my words sweet never know when i have to eat them :)

    Getting permission

    Dear _______:

     

    I'm writing to request permission to place a geocache in _______. If you are not familiar with the term geocache,Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the world by adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices.A GPS is Global Positioning System receiver (GPSr) to mark the longititude and latitude of the geocache.

     

    The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is enjoyed by people from all age groups, with a strong sense of community and support for the environment.

    . This entails a person hiding a small container (the geocache), usually containing a log book and trinkets, then using a Global Positioning System receiver (GPSr) to mark the longititude and latitude of the geocache. The coordinates are then published on the Internet to allow others to find it.

     

    Geocaching is a fun, family oriented activity that has the benefit of getting people,and family outdoors and introducing them to areas of historic, natural, or scenic interest.

     

    Managers of many parks and nature preserves have determined that geocaching is a beneficial, low impact activity and encourage the sport on their lands. They see the additional visitors and increased exposure that geocaching brings as a plus. Similarly, geocachers often discover exciting new places through the sport, while getting exercise and gaining an appreciation for these areas.

     

    I believe that ________ is one of the special places that would be of interest to geocachers and would like to explore the possibility of my placing a geocache there. I will be calling you shortly to discuss this, or if you prefer you can contact me at _________.

     

    Thank You,
