Containers

[Duncan Cache Team]

I need to know where I can get some good containers in which to hide new caches. I am looking for small to regular size (rubbermaid, ammo, etc.) Any help is appreciated.

I often make my own small containers. One is a log that I cut in half, drilled out large holes and rejoined them with a piece of pipe. Another is a stick deoderant case that actually seals pretty well with a rubber band around it - it's in a hole in the ground and the outside is nearly always wet, but the contents are still dry. Yet another is a tampon case I got at Walmart for a buck. The top doesn't completely seal, but it seems to stay dry anyway.

 

The several lock n lock containers and the dollar store food containers I bought are still sitting in the bag waiting to be used.

 

BTW, lock n lock containers seem like a really good deal. You can get several sizes at Walmart or Target for $3 each. The lids have flaps that hook onto the sides and a silicon gasket that seals tight. I have not seen one in the field that has failed yet. Widely recommended for a good, cheap, dry container. I think Target has a three pack for $6, IIRC.
