Wow! I just looked up Rite In The Rain and Polyart, that's amazing! Do you have to order them online or is there a tore you can buy them in?
I don't know of any store that carries either brand but any print shop can order it for you.
I was thinking of carrying it, myself, but then I would have to advertise it and I'm sure GS wouldn't want me to advertise here.
I'm lucky enough to be close to the business. I stumbled upon a bunch of polyart that was being thrown out.
What do you mean you'd have to advertise it?
Well, to make it worth my while to carry a significant supply of waterproof paper, I would have to advertise to sell it. Otherwise I would just have MORE stuff in my house taking up space.
Ohhhhh. I thought you meant having to advertise to have it. So you live near the business and you can get their old ones when they throw it out?

Altoids tins don't keep water out for crap...
Add a sheet of "Rite in the rain" or "Polyart" as a logsheet and it doesn't matter if its water resistant.

5 Gallon bucket with seal lid. For large size.
Surplus military ammo cans. For regular sized caches
Lock-n-Locks. Small size to regular size - wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Fantastic list. All beginners need this list. Here they are in pictures:

Bison tubes. For micro Caches.
All make good Geocaches.
Uh, actually, in the real world, Bison Tubes make HORRIBLE geocaches. Anyone who thinks they do, doesn't understand the definition of the word "Cache".
Yeah.. So what is the definition of the word "cache"? Because, an online website (provided by a college) states that: A cache is a hidden storage space.
The bison tube is a hidden storage space for a log. So what exactly did you mean?
Some people consider "cache" means something a little more substantial then only big enough to hold a small sheet of paper, more along the lines of...
"A store of goods or valuables concealed in a hiding place"
Which suggests items in the plural i.e. the container can hold trinkets. But the game has evolved (perhaps some might devolved) to include something so small that it can only hold a tiny scroll of paper.
Well yeah, but a micro is a micro- just supposed to be a log.

The Oatmeal container will NOT work. It has to be waterproof.
For your first hide , try to find some place where would you like to
take someone to show something different...could be anything .
Try be be Original... There are some good places in your Area ...just
take a good look around you.

What if I wrapped it with duct tape?
Sounds like you really want to use a free container that you already have. Duct tape will not waterproof the oatmeal container. There's no pressure to hide a cache if you can't afford a watertight container (a sandwich size lock n lock costs about $3). Save up and plant when you can plant a quality hide, which includes a good water tight container (as listed by Star Brand).
I don't know if "there's no pressure to hide a cache if you can't afford a watertight container" was a subtle insult (I don't think it was, though) but I just wanted to know if what I had at hand would work well enough.

Any container that will be exposed to the elements should have some kind of gasket seal ideally. Some other containers will work but are few and far between.
5 Gallon bucket with seal lid. For large size.
Surplus militry ammo cans. For regular sized caches
Lock-n-Locks. Small size to regular size - wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Match Containers. For micro caches.

Where could I get said ammo can?

I'm pretty new to Geocaching (first week) its pretty fun so far, but I would like to start hiding some caches. What are some good hiding places for regular sized caches? And what would make a good regular/small cache? Could an oatmeal can be used? I would like something waterproof... Thanks in advance!

A joke that it doesn't keep water out?
