The plastic storage boxes at the Dollar Store and Dollar General are usually Farberware brand and shouldn't be confused with Lock-N-Lock brand storage solutions. They are similar- but the most noticeable difference is the "ratcheted" clasp system that really holds the tabs down once the box is closed. That and the tabs tend to break off Farberware at a higher rate that true Lock-N-Lock containers. In my experience. EDIT: The correct name is Lock & Lock. My mistake. Ah, thanks for the info. I bought a couple Dollar store ones to set up, but as of yet have not placed them. One of the kids was quite keen on covering it with camo duct tape. Will have to watch for maintenance on them to see how well they last (or don't) I think I got them at Dollar-rama (Canadian?) or maybe Dollar Giant. Not sure if these chains are in the US. (Always preferred hitting Dollar Tree when we are south of the border!) Cheers,

Went to Waterloo, ON area about a year ago to visit my wife's cousins. Took them out for a GEOCACHING training run to show them HOW it's done and what to expect. It was early spring, but a very warm day. We were heading along a paved path near a river and just as we got close to the bridge to cross, (we had 5 kids with us, me, the wife, her cousin D) I'm looking ahead to see how the trail is going to when I see WHITE movement to my left. Two white things, round, globular looking with a black strip between them. They were moving up and down. Then we heard the moaning and panting. Quick turnaround of the whole gang "RETREAT RETREAT" UH, WRONG WAY, WRONG CACHE, sorry...back where we came from. Yeah, a young amorous couple, with HER in the dominant position, going at it right on the riverbank, oblivious to what was going on around them. (nice black thong) To this day, D always mentions it when we say we have been caching, and he tells others that "you'll NEVER know what to expect when you go caching". I think it actually scared him to not bother with it yet, although it has to be a one in a million kind of thing. As we left the area, another couple with a blanket was quickly hiking into another trail with a couple of sly smiles on their faces, no GPS, hiking boots or printed pieces of white paper. ;-)

After all that "Stink" about coffee smell, it appears the coffee inside that L & L container is in side a foil pack, which probably limits the coffee smell inside the plastic container to a minimum..... Can't you simply buy L & L containers at your local Dollar Store ?

Hmm...I gotta go with the best container being the standard peanut butter jar. Although not great for larger tradables, they seem to be easy to close, and if camo'd (duct tape camo or any other colour) they seem fairly durable. From Orangeville eh? Then you may know of PINKERBEV, my aunt and uncle. It seems all their spare time is spent caching now. Glad they get out so much! Krusher67 Peterborough, ON
