A trip to Walgreens

[+RandomH3ro]

went to Walgreens today, and bought some camo tape and a container(lock & lock), and got 6 film canisters (free) for cache containers.

 

its as if they knew i was coming and got prepared for me. Or, maybe someone who works there is a cacher and made some orders.

 

and, i got this guys pic a few days ago. i was 6" from walking into him when he caught my eye.

 

 

just starting a new topic.

How cool that Walgreens has cammo tape! I have been looking all over for that type of tape (FINALLY found some at Wal-Mart in the hunting section!) every place else has the digi-cammo tape. Does Walgreens still do one hour film processing? Several of the local Wally Worlds stopped doing 1 Hr and they send all film out to be developed, therefore they don't have empty film canisters any more. Where else can I go to find film canisters (I have a hard time reasoning BUYING them off of eBay).

While my response doesn't really answer your question, your inquiry made me consider the obvious:

Why would you want to? Film cans are the poster child of crappy containers. Take pride in your hide.

While no one can force you to use a quality container, I can assure you that those who seek your caches will thank you for making the extra effort.

There are many containers available that can be acquired for very little $$$, that hold up much better than film cans.

I have to agree with Clan Riffster here. Your caches will last longer and be more well liked if you use a better container.

Drat, I want some of that tape and I was just in Walgreens yesterday. I didn't even think to look there.

The easy answer is the place that WalMart sends their film to for developing.

 

I get film canisters from a local professional photoimaging company. Check 'photo finishing' in your yellow pages.

 

Also, always remember these fact about film canisters:

• The white ones with the lids that snap into the container do a pretty good job of keeping the log dry.
  
• The black or grey ones with the cap that snaps over the top of the container do a poor job. (seems backwards, doesn't it)
  
• Some people will whine about using film cans regardless of whether the log is dry. Ignore these people.

I got some of the camo duct tape from walmart the other day. seemed to work ok. I may try the gun camo tape next time but you don't get near enough.

I used a lot of the cammo duct tape. Now days I use mostly Krylon cammo paints. Quick, easy, and looks better.

I will try looking at photo shops in the Yellow Pages. I have only run across maybe 2 out of 25 film canisters that were wet. Mostly I have been finding wet logs in Tupperware (not LnL).

Camo duct tape is superior to camo gun tape, in my experience.
