What are these containers used for?

[+Fox_Trot]

So i was wondering what the real purpose of some containers are. What are bison tubes and nanos real purpose used for? who makes them? thanks guys!

Bison tubes are really for holding a small ammount of pills. Great for putting on your keychain, and if you ever need an ativan out in the field, presto!

 

as for the nanos, I think those are just for geocaching, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

oh, and Ken Kostic can tell you all about the benifits of lock n locks...

[+hukilaulau]

nanos actually had another purpose but I can't remember what it was. they're called "blinkies" in some alternate universe.

Lock&Locks are rumored to hold something called "food."

Ammo cans were once used for "bullets."

Gladware and Ziplocks are good for nothing and should be banned from society.

Nano containers are often made from led body jewelery.

Close, but not quite. They were made to hold/transport ammunition, hence the name ammo can.

Bullets are only a portion of the configuration that creates a cartridge. Many cartridges constitute ammunition.

It might sound picky, but bullets alone are good only as an anchor and little else. Got any anchor cans?

Nano containers are often made from led body jewelery.

See.

If they were left like that, people would be able to find them, and there wouldn't be half as many complaints about 'em!

If they were hidden someplace more interesting than here or here they may get less complaints.

Bison tubes are named for Bison Designs, who makes them as pill containers: http://www.rei.com/product/685309

I don't know what Bison Designs were thinking when they made the regular sized capsules. A pill container actually could be any size larger or smaller than they are. However, I have found they are so perfect a size for one particular use than I find it hard to be a coincidence. You can fold a US currency bill in half length-wise and then tightly roll it, place it in the cap of the capsule and then screw on the body. Fits perfectly. I've kept an emergency $20 bill on my key chain for a while now. Considering I rarely use cash and once I needed to buy a gallon of milk on Christmas eve, but the store's card system was down. I simply whipped out the emergency funds and paid.

 

I've got others to do this, but they tend to not keep the money in there for long. It always seems to be burning a hole in their pocket, so to speak.

Unfortunately bison tube has become the geocaching generic name for any metal pill fob. Possibly plastic ones too but I haven't seen it yet.
