+DadandJax Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I appreciate creativity in other caches and try to add a creative touch to my own. We've seen lots of creative containers here but not so many creative logbooks. Does anyone have any neat ones they'd like to share? I made this one for this cache- The Johnny Cache Music Stash.

Andronicus Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Very cool! I wish I was that creative. Quote Link to comment
+Don_J Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Very creative. It should make your cache stand from all of the other "Johnny Cache" caches. Quote Link to comment

+aka Momster Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I often spend a lot of time on the containers, and not so much for the logbook. Finding a cache with an interesting book makes the experience more fun and memorable, so maybe I should try to design some in the future. The only log book I recall altering is this one I used for My Moosetake. Quote Link to comment
+power69 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Cutie little logbook! cute l'il ammo box too Quote Link to comment
+EyeD10T Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I dont have any creative ones or pictures of ones I have come across, but I do notice when someone has taken the time to be creative with a logbook - I like a good logbook in the cache - it adds to the find. Quote Link to comment
+The Chaos Crew Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Oh bother, I knew there was something I was supposed to do before I put our latest cache hide out yesterday – take a photo of the logbook! It’s a pirate themed cache so I decorated the logook with skulls and crossbones and pirate ships and all that you would expect All hand rubber stamped. I was quite pleased with the end result, but totally forgot to take a picture. Love your Johnny Cash book , and the cute lil log book in the cute lil ammo can Quote Link to comment
+L0ne.R Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Love your Johnny Cash logbook. Very creative to use blank music sheets. Here are some samples of my logbooks: I used camo duct tape to cover the cardboard covers. Leather cord holds the pages together. I used wrapping paper that once covered a box of Laura Secord chocolates. Japanese stab binding used to make this long logbook for a tubular container. Used a kleenex box to make the cover of this logbook. Simple pamphlet stitch to bind this book. Used my handcarved rubberstamps to stamp the cover. Thanks for posting this topic. It's great to read that people like making creative logbooks and also enjoy finding them. Quote Link to comment
+DadandJax Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Those are great handcrafted books. Very nice! Keep them coming! Quote Link to comment
b_storch Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I started caching a couple years ago then stopped and am now starting again so I haven't hid any yet, but this website should be of interest to people who wish to make their own logbooks. I am an elementary Art teacher and have made several with my students so they aren't too terribly difficult. Enjoy! http://www.booklyn.org/education/000240.php -ben Quote Link to comment
Dinoprophet Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Nice books. And nice topic. A very overlooked aspect of the cache. I honestly don't think I've seen this as a topic before. This one of mine isn't creative exactly -- just store-bought -- but it was enough to get positive comments: The spade is felt, which in retrospect probably just attracted dampness and mold. It survived many years in place, though. The cache it was in was archived due to new rules in the state parks, but I left it in place because it had become sort of a register for the location even for non-cachers. Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Novel idea at our Saturday Not-So-Secret-Santa event, where the CO had us sign little round glass ornaments and hang them on a tree. Worked quite well! Quote Link to comment
+JesandTodd Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Cutie little logbook! cute l'il ammo box too I cant take credit. Its a LPC! But this cacher is special, and I always know her caches will be worth it, so I broke my rule of finding LPCs to find this one. Quote Link to comment
+The Chaos Crew Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) I nipped out to my cache this morning before work to check it is all ok (I always get paranoid about a new cache in its first week) - so I took a photo of that pirate logbook I made. (Sorry poor quality pic - taken with my phone in low light) It seemed appropriate to use a rubberstamped design on the front (and the spine but you can't see that) of the logbook as it's a letterbox cache here you go: PS Lone R I love your stab bound books! here's a stab bound book I made not long back: Edited December 15, 2010 by The Chaos Crew Quote Link to comment

Great logbook in it's own zippered and personalized pouch. Good job. It would be a treat to find. Quote Link to comment
+TerraViators Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Those are some great log books. Quote Link to comment
Imagin0s Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 This one is 5 mins from my house and I was rather impressed by it: Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 This one is 5 mins from my house and I was rather impressed by it: ...image snipped that's certainly the *largest* photo of a logbook I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment
+Cliff's Notes Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Here is a question Has anyone made a logbook out of that TYVEK paper? These logs with the stab bindings make me think that may be possible. A book made out of that stuff with a rugged cover would be nigh immortal right? Quote Link to comment
+L0ne.R Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 One of the cutest cache logbooks I've seen was in a cache entitled Theresa's Lunch. The logbook was a sandwich. The covers of the hand-bound logbook were tan foam slices in the shape of sandwich bread. Very creative. Quote Link to comment
+ipodguy Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I hid a cache based on the movie Evil Dead 2 and the log book is the "Necronomicon" from the movie. Supposed to be bound with human skin, but I used masking tape, acryllic paint and Mod-Podge instead. It's got a stretched human face on the cover. The pages were tea-stained and I burned the edges to make it look thousands of years old. To complete the theme, I included a red sharpie so the logs appear to be inked in blood. Never took a picture, but next time I get out there I plan to. Lots of positive feedback on the custom logbook. Quote Link to comment
