+GeoVamp Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 I think that there sould be a new cache size called "mini" because there is a cache pod I like to use that is bigger than a mico but smaller than a normal,and you can buy them at any army/navy store. I would follow my GPS to the gates of hell if it pointed that way. Link to comment
+Hawk-eye Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Can you link a photo of this cache container? Link to comment
+rdw Posted March 23, 2002 Share Posted March 23, 2002 Couldn't you just pick the closest option and mention the size of the container in the cache description? Remember KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) rdw Link to comment
+Bodoni Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 Hmmm, could we be using the same container? I have the same thing at my Detention cache -- smaller than a normal, bigger than a micro, and found at an Army/Navy surplus store. I just listed it as an "Other (See Description)". The cache page says nothing where you'd normally see a cache size, so that sort of forces you to read the description and I've described it there. Link to comment
LazyLeopard Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 It might be helpful, yes. "Regular" caches span quite a range at the moment. Being slightly media-minded, I've concluded there are ones you can fit a VHS video into, ones that'll take a CD but not a VHS video, and ones that won't even take a CD, but they're all "regular". Then, of course, there are also those that are just so full of stuff that it's a challenge just re-packing with what was in there already. Purrs...

+CacheCows Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 A new mini size option would be great. We have used these Army surplus containers, and like them, they are very water tight. However, you MUST remove the lable and scratch or melt out the instructions as they are very scary if found in the woods by the un-suspecting; the contains were for bio-contamination kits! Click image for more info They are $1.49 each and measure 4.25" tall by 3.25" wide by 2" long. Member: Link to comment

I would follow my GPS to the gates of hell if it pointed that way. I've used these a few times and have more waiting to be filled. I just use 'normal' cache size and I have not received negative feedback. I don't even give much of a size description... just 'normal'. george Link to comment
+GeoVamp Posted March 25, 2002 Author Share Posted March 25, 2002 The picture they posted is the very pod I'm talking about that is a really great cache pod it is air/water tight and it has it's own hook for hanging from banches and a nail head.It is my most favorite pod to use. I would follow my GPS to the gates of hell if it pointed that way. Link to comment
