avroair Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 I do presentations at my events to show the difference between a 'good' cache container and a 'poor' cache container to new or would be cachers. It got me thinking about a geocaching starter kit. Anyone make these? Sure enough the next day I got an email from geoswag that they were selling lock-n-lock 3 packs with the geocaching logo silkscreened on the top! Thought they would make great starter kits for folks who are new to caching. And I can show them as examples of watertight containers. Starter kits Just curious if there are other starter kits out there that I can use to show new cachers? (tired of finding chinese food cartons, peanut butter jars and other bear favorites! ) Quote Link to comment

Is there a market for containers already camo-painted and labeled? DCC Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 People will buy just about anything I suppose..... It IS a good idea for new cachers - might give them a better feel for a "proper" container. Quote Link to comment

Walmart sells a 3 pack for $5 and you can get 5 stickers for $5 at Cafe Press. Quote Link to comment

And not everyone has the same amount of time as you to buy all the components for your caches... Quote Link to comment

(skip the stickers and buy a sharpie to write the cache info in the box) Quote Link to comment
