cache container suggestion...?

[+mahini]

I haven't placed a cache before... so, I apologize if I am asking "duh" type stuff...

 

My boss has a pre-teen girl, & she was concerned about her discretely carrying her "sanitary products", so I offered to google & help find such a device. This is what I came upon! Would it make a decent cache?

 

 

The product description:

Sounds like a good description of a cache container. Just don't tell some of the never been married young male cachers what it is.

[+bittsen]

I should send my son out for some cache containers!

I found a cache similar to that. It was more of a keychain type though.

Only thing to think about is how long will the rubber o-ring last in the wild before it breaks down and stops sealing? Sure, it says it's good for 100,000 opens/closes, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't take into account sitting outside through an Iowa winter, which will be a bit harsher than the inside of a purse!

 

By the way, you live in Iowa, you need to get out to the Spencer Public Library and place a cache there in memory of Dewey Readmore Books, the library cat! I just finished reading the book about him, and if Spencer wasn't 1700 miles away from me, I'd hop on the motorcycle and do it myself! Heck, I might just do that anyways! I have 10 days off coming up in a week or two....

We were just in spencer on the 5th!! Its about 3-4 hours from us, so we don't make it too often. There's a book about him?

Ragtotes???

 

I've seen it all now...

 

Of course, whoever came up with this idea will probably be a gazillionaire soon.

And to answer the question, I think one would make a great cache container as long as it's not exposed directly to "extreme" conditions.

I have a similar container hanging on the back of a fence that's been holding up well for the last 2 1/2 years. I think it's a promo item from a cigarette company or something.

 

Now what do you think about asking Ragtotes to make some in camouflage?

[+sbell111]

Wow. That product has an unfortunate name.

[+Castle Mischief]

Wow. That product has an unfortunate name.

 

My thought as well. I mean would "sani-totes" have been too much to ask for?

[GreenLantern5000]

These look like perfect cache containers! Probably camo them a little.... but other than that, the little clips would come in handy if hanging from a rope in a tree or something........

This doesn't strike me as an inconspicuous way to carry girl products.

Or "tamp-totes", perhaps?

 

To Hrethgir: How would that rubber o-ring be any different from the rubber o-ring in a Bison tube or matchstick holder?

[+New Yorker]

In Cranberry, Kelly Green, Night Blue. and Royal Purple. Wow.

[+StarBrand]

It sounds like an ok container but at the same time is just so wrong on so many levels.........

[knowschad]

Got me wondering what the cache name might be...

 

 

... but I'm not going there.

Don't tamp on me.

I agree. I think it would make people question it more. "What is that thing hanging on your belt loop?"

"Oh, just a geocache. Yeah, that's it... a geocache. Like that geeky thing my parents do. I'm just trying it out for them."

[Clan Riffster]

I think I would need to make a trip to my local hardware store for some upgraded o-rings.

Other than that, they look rather promising. Maybe call it "A Tamporary Hide"?

"Aunt Flo"

LOL! I suspect it will take MrsB to top that one!

[Clan Riffster]

Auntie Weasel could top that, if she were here.

I know. I miss her. I don't think she even knows who I am, but I have laughed at so many of her posts. But MrsB does a pretty darned good job when she can.

maybe I'll do that! hang it from my belt loops, get myself a TB code & let me people discover me!

Kids... its way past your bed times. Good night.

 

 

 

Curious adults will Google the words "euphemism" and the other appropriate word and have lots of fun with what they find. Sorry, can't provide links.

Can you picture some of the logs on these?

 

"I plucked this one from its hidey hole."

 

Would you superglue the scroll log to a string to pull it out?

 

I know the perfect place to put one of these. A nice little spot called Cedar River Flow.

[+gof1]

It would probably be called something like "What is your problem?! Just because I ASKED for flowers doesn't mean I WANT flowers! I WANT chocolate and you should know that without being told! You don't love me! <sob>"

*heads to a search engine....*

 

Sure is, and it's a very good book, the title is simply "Dewey", and has a great picture of him on the cover. Heck, the Spencer Public Library website still has info about him on there, and even prints you can buy. And I mapped it out, Spence is a little over 1700 miles from me, so me getting out there to place something would be... unlikely. I would like to see the library now, though, although I'd probably cry and look like an idiot, but I'm used to that!
