+avroair Posted May 31, 2007 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

Is there a market for containers already camo-painted and labeled? DCC Quote
+StarBrand Posted May 31, 2007 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

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

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

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