+Thomas&Lisa Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Does anyone know which cache box is the largest in the world? Kind Regards Thomas&Lisa Quote Link to comment
+Jaz666 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Certainly the largest I've encountered is GCN8RF - which is around the same size as a small family car Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I seem to remember one where the actual cache was a cabin in the woods or something to that effect? Quote Link to comment
+Anonymous' Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 The largest cache box in the woods is probably the one listed above, although the among the largest ammo can caches are the Project APE caches. Quote Link to comment
+Mopar Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Ok, did a quick forum search and turned up these: The SUV in the woods: An entire room in Germany: And the cabin in the woods: Quote Link to comment

+Thrak Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I did one yesterday where I had to park in the parking lot and go inside a store and ask for the "keymaster". The actual cache was an ammo can in the back of the military surplus store but it was "hidden" in a store which makes it a pretty large cache. Quote Link to comment
+Mule Ears Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I just installed a cache in a 100-lb homemade concrete box. It's not the largest or heaviest, though, as I can see from previous posts. I don't know how much concrete it'd take to beat the SUV or the cabin. Let's see, 150lb per cubic foot...a lot.

Team Firebird Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have heard of a cache that was made of a rocket box, an overgrown ammo can on steroids, filled with large, massive trade items,(chairs, backpacks, tires, lots of stuff) Quote Link to comment
Kelsey's Nuts Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 would this count as the 'largest cache container'? Largest cache Kelsey........ Quote Link to comment
+Kordite Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I don't think the sub counts because the sub itself is not the cache container. There is a ammo-can -type box inside the sub but unless you could place or take swag from anywhere within the sub, I wouldn't count it. I wouldf say it's the same for the above mentioned cabin. If it's locked and you can't access it or leave your swag on a table, then it's not the cache container. The box out front with the log and the wine. . . that's the cache itself.

+mini cacher Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Even though World Record Light Bulb is listed as a virtual, technically it could be a very large traditional. There is a log book inside the building... but there is no trading allowed. *Last I checked, "trading" was not required to be a cache. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've got my eye on this 8X8X40 storage container that a friend of mine's moving company is getting rid of...paint it ammo-can green, write "Geocache" on the outside in 3 foot-tall letters, and have trade items like sofas...

+Airmapper Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 That would be awesome, put it off some old logging road or something. Maybe you'd have to make it a multi, with a key to the door in the first stage (to keep muggles from having a field day.) Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What would you thinkn about a logging requirement that you have to spend the night in the cache container Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 What would you thinkn about a logging requirement that you have to spend the night in the cache container Like a haunted house on Halloween? Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 (edited) A camping cache, where you sleep INSIDE the cache, now that's cool. You would have to think of a clever way for them to prove they spent the night though. I once thought if someone owned a house they never used, like a rental property or something, make it into a cache, and cachers could stay there if they needed to. I suppose getting that approved would be somewhat difficult. Edited October 31, 2005 by Airmapper Quote Link to comment
+Celticwulf Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Reading through this one, I all of a sudden had this vision of a very cool cache, just don't know how I could do it. My thought would be use one of the old bomb shelters that people had built in the 50's during the cold war, and turn it into super large cache. Have the log book be an actual book! And who cares on McToys, here we can have entire playsets OK, silly I know, but it would still be kinda cool...but it would really take someone with an extra bomb shelter on hand to set it up Random thoughts...

+mini cacher Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 hmmm... we can't bury a cache. But can we turn something that is already buried into a cache? As far as proving they spent the night... a really loud siren at midnight to wake them up and insturctions to tell you what happened but no one else. Quote Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 We have many old mine shafts out here in the desert. If it were legal, it would be great to put a door on one of the horizontal ones. Quote Link to comment

Celticwulf No, not silly at all. In fact, Snoogans already used one of these paranoid era pieces of history as part of Quantum Leap. I have been working at cracking the code on Snoogans' cache... oh, about 8 months now. At any rate, a bomb shelter is a bomb of an idea. Please, just do not include a code as difficult as Snoogans'.

+Phonedave Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Does anyone know which cache box is the largest in the world? Kind Regards Thomas&Lisa The biggest "container" that was designed as a container and not something else, that I have encountered was a 55 gallon drum. -dave Quote Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've got my eye on this 8X8X40 storage container that a friend of mine's moving company is getting rid of...paint it ammo-can green, write "Geocache" on the outside in 3 foot-tall letters, and have trade items like sofas... No... Slap a magnet on the outside. Tape a key on the inside. "Forget" to select a cache size. Then, in your cache description, say that it's a "magnetic keyholder." Sit back and watch the fun.

+humanloofa Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 Well I now have to make mine bigger somehow, I often woundered if it was the biggest. I knew it wasn't but now I have proof that it's not. My cache Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I thought about this question a few months ago when I came across one of thos erocket boxes in an army navy store. I don't think my friends appreciated me sitting and looking at it for ten minutes. But man that would have made a cool cache somewhere. My guess was 3 1/2' x 2' x 4'? something like that. Now, I know it wasn't even close! Added that submarine one to the bookmark list that is VERY cool! Quote Link to comment
+srt4guy Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 i got you all beat, it weighs 35 tons is 75 feet log 19 feet wide and 12-16 feet high. it's called a "snowcruiser". type it in google and you will find a postal cover with the gps coords for it's location, missing since 1958, if you do the research, this item is my favorite subject, (i'm such a geek)coords are, lat:78 deg 30's X long 163deg 30 W Good luck, if you find it let me know.

+Team Maccabee Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Oh, I have to mention this cache that I want to "find" some day... Who needs to put a cache in a bomb shelter when you can put on in a Nuclear Missle Silo Quote Link to comment
