so... this is as low as it gets.

[+Bad_CRC]

I'm sitting in a coworker's office and in the garbage, I see a discarded food container that would be just perfect for a cache.

 

I fetch it out of the trash, and ask if I can have it.

 

 

 

very sad. I'm officially hopeless.

Along the lines of my cache that is soon to be published called "My mom's tupperware".... I literally had to run out of her house with it before she tackled me

[+MountainRacer]

That IS pretty low, considering that discarded food containers used as caches tend to attract everything from raccoons to bears. Not to be mean or anything, but it's just bad practice.

hehe, was waiting for that one. Thanks for not disappointing and being a downer in my thread.

 

But unless the raccoons can swim, or the bears are anxious to walk a few hundred miles out of their habitat, I think this one will be fine.

Coons are excellent swimmers. Might want to rethink your plan.

And isn't MN bear country? Grizzlies, black bears or both? Heck, if I have to be careful about them in New Jersey, I imagine you're practically tripping over them out where the real woods are.

I think I had one of those at IHOP once. Pretty tasty.

[+Bad_CRC]

OMG!!!!

 

 

you were right, a bear ate the cache!

The white box with a red X will make a cool cache container, but make sure that you hide it where muggles don't go or it will disappeer.

Eh, you can clean 'em. Not been a problem for us so far.

 

Yet, I've had mice chew nylon straps and something chew on film cans. Go figure.

Grizzlies in MN?? That's a good one. More likely to be eaten by a mountain lion, puma, or whatever your favorite cat name is, even down where Bad_CRC lives.

 

In any event, you ARE hooked and whatever you use for a container I'll come look for it... (but if it's made of glass I'll have to carry it out.)

[+sbell111]

This thread should be titled 'What container is completely unacceptable to me in all situations to the point that I will have to remove it if found even though I don't own it'.

[+Crow-T-Robot]

Well, anything that can swim to the cache is going to get attacked by the myriad of lake monsters that Minnesota has...or they'll be picked up by a party boat filled with football players, not sure which is worse.

Arent we trying to go green in todays society. Atleast he is going green and recycling instead of letting plastic go in the garbage. Jeez, why such downers, think of the positives.

 

Although you might want to put that tupperware container in a bear containter and then put that in concrete so that the animals don't get it, but make sure to put necessary tools in your listing as jackhammer and cemet to fix what you did.

First documented case of "Trash In, Cache Out"?

[+whistler & co.]

Crikey, I hope there were no peanut by-products in that container!

[+Guinness70]

hi, Im Guinness and im a cachoholic

I buy candy if it comes in a zipbag and i spend more time in the tupperware department then my wife.

 

as for food containers attracking whatever species of living creature : WASH it and spray it with a degreasing chemical, like to degrease tools or chains and leave a smidgen of it in the container... unles its a garage-coon, you'll be fine.

It's not all that bad, i use up my mom's plastic pill bottles that she throws away and use them for micros, of course i camo tape them first

I used to work for a health food company and regularly rescued black plastic screwtop containers from the trash that used to contain health food, I have over 100 in my garage and take them to events to give to local cachers.

Good call... I know I won't go near that stuff so I'm sure the critters will avoid it too

[+LDove]

My coworkers keep stuffing my mailbox with things they think would make great cache containers too. Some, um no - others better than I would have thought of!

 

Now don't drive by the local recycling center k? They use front end loaders in those places and you maybe hard to spot up to your neck in plastic...

I have to admit I've done the same thing as the OP. One of my co-workers is a health food nut and gets these excellent screw top plastic jars that container his whey and protein, etc. I asked him if I could have his empties and later, after he went home, I nabbed one out of his trash bin.

 

Since then he's given me more containers than I can really use so I give them away in one of my 5 gallon bucket caches.
