hannieIII Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 A 40 foot container (empty) fell off a truck and has come into my posession. I guess it would make a good big cache container. Would it be the biggest ever? Quote
+Marbig's Woodenheads Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Guess you'll have to hide it in a big shipping container yard to make the hunt interesting. Quote
+ganlet Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 the cache should be named "for those who dislike micros" i agree though the question isnt whether it would be the biggest but where on earth you u hide it. Quote
+Drgnsrealm Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Now you need to ask youself. How many rolls of Camo Duct tape is it going to take to hide this thing? Quote
+Harry Dolphin Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Found this one in Wawayanda State Park, NJ, being used as a storage shed. Albeit, not the greatest picture... It is painted with a mural. Quote
dunderhead Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I think burying it would be good, but I believe a no-no in rules. Quote
+HaLiJuSaPa Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 I think burying it would be good, but I believe a no-no in rules. Yes, it is a no-no. Quote
+Drgnsrealm Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Say, how about a picture of this 40 foot container? And how on earth did you get it home. Oh, the other half wants to know what you told the wife, when she asked, "What are you going to do with that thing?" Quote
+The_Proffens Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 "What are you going to do with that thing?" Exactly My wife would have made me sleep outside with it if I tried to bring something like that home Quote
+jtd18801 Posted April 22, 2006 Posted April 22, 2006 Its not the biggest. There was another thread like this and there is 1 in norway or somewhere in Europe its a whole cabben in the middle of the woods. Quote
+Confucius' Cat Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Now you need to ask youself. How many rolls of Camo Duct tape is it going to take to hide this thing? And "how many mcToys is it going to take to make it look like it aint empty. Quote
+Bill & Tammy Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) A 40 foot container (empty) fell off a truck and has come into my posession. I guess it would make a good big cache container. Would it be the biggest ever? Any chance of some swag falling off a truck and coming into your posession to fill it with? Edited April 23, 2006 by Bill & Tammy Quote
hannieIII Posted April 23, 2006 Author Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) A compendium of replies. 1. I won it in a card game, it was confiscated by Customs. 2. I am the wife 3. How many McToys ?..easy calculation for someone. 4. You can't compare a cabin with it as a cabin is not easily transported, I could hide a cache in an aircraft hangar.

+Harry Dolphin Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 Let's see. A 40' standard container has 2100 cubic feet of space (allowing 89" x 89" for the door opening, and about 460" of length.) (We actually did load 2100 cf into one once, but the average container we truck to the pier has about 1000 cf loaded into it.) Guessing the average McToy to be about 4" x 4" x 2", you could load 115000 McToys into it. Of more concern is what you will do with it, when you decide to archive it. And the difficulty of opening the doors to get to the log book. I'd have to give it a 3.5 for difficulty, just to open the doors. I do recall seeing a 20' container used as a garage... Unless it was a shipper-owned container, I'd hate to think of the demurrage charges that are accruing! Quote
+chuckwagon101 Posted April 23, 2006 Posted April 23, 2006 You can't have something like that around my area! MUGGLES! Lotsa tennie-skateboarding tennie boppers! They would MUGGLE that big cache, chop it up and make a half pipe out of the remnants! Dang blasted, con-sarn, pea-pickin, half-pipe makin' MUGGLES!!! Chuckwagon Quote

wandat24 Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 it could be fun and interesting to go for a walk into an area of woods and find it..... but as others have said ya gotta think about muggles.... Quote
+Mystery Ink Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 make it a multi so someone would have to either find a key or a combination. Quote
+Adrenalynn Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 We have a ... Slightly Smaller ... "large" cache here where the title of the cache is the combination to the lock. It'd be fun to make it the 10th and final stage of a multi. Each a little bigger. Nano, Bison, 35mm film canister, Cigar tube, lock-and-lock small, medium, large, 50cal ammo can, rocket launcher can, 55gal drum, then that thing... Just put a tiny little log dead-center of the floor... I have two 40'ers as storage containers for my old mainframe stuff. It's hard to imagine just how much space is inside those things. Still curious how you got it home, and how you're going to place it. I tried to drag mine with a 1Ton duallie and could scarcely budge it - empty. Quote
+sbell111 Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 My first thought was to glue a magnet to it and stick on something really big and metal. My second idea involves cables, pullies and sequoias. Quote
+TheConaways Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 make it a multi so someone would have to either find a key or a combination. One end of the container would hold the coordinates of the other end, which has the log? Quote
