+The Magna Defender Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I own almost 400 caches and need to maintain them all. My secret is I use turtle boxes which are watertight and come with built in camo. The only problem is my supply of them has run out. Anyone know an alternative place where I can get them except cache shack? Cheers I'm desperate now as I've been using micro containers but everyone keeps complaining about them Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) I own almost 400 caches and need to maintain them all. My secret is I use turtle boxes which are watertight and come with built in camo. The only problem is my supply of them has run out. Anyone know an alternative place where I can get them except cache shack? I looked at cache shack and found an item called a "turtle" which is a black plastic jar. You can see a bunch of suppliers if you google this: buy polypropylene jar There are some black polypropylene jars in this list: http://rsatestfreu.kalioinc.com/thick-wall-plastic-jars-pp/p/v28200/ Those are "thick walled", but there are double-walled, and several other styles. It also has an "unlined cap", in case you don't want to depend on a styrofoam seal, but I can't tell from the description if the unlined cap is in fact an airtight seal by itself. Maybe that will be a good start on your search. If you find a suitable container, let us know what it is.[/url]! Edited August 22, 2012 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

+airhorns Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 TMD, I've just taken delivery of 10 Turtles from Cache Shack, I thought them well priced, what issues are you having ? Quote Link to comment
+The Magna Defender Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Sorry I never did reply did I. I didn't get any in the end. I need big batches of say 100 but that sort of numbers isn't feasible from cache shack. I was just wondering where the turtle containers are made themselves and I could order a batch like pup and cache hoppers Quote Link to comment

I was just wondering where the turtle containers are made themselves and I could order a batch like pup and cache hoppers They got theirs off of ebay and it was a very large batch in the many 1000s which I believe filled the garage and any other available space. I'm sure that if you were to contact them you would be able to negotiate a discount for bulk. Quote Link to comment
