+Fitou11 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 Hello, Is there a store that sells bison tubes, or is it something that is easier to buy online? I would love to buy some without waiting for delivery. Quote

+cerberus1 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 If you're in a hurry, you should be able to find some at drug stores too. Near us, they're usually near the pharmacy. Be sure to check for an o-ring. Quote

I would love to buy some without waiting for delivery. I see you're in Canada like me. I don't know if there's one near you, but Lee Valley sells Bison tubes of various sizes. If you have any local stores that sell a variety of things (like a Canadian Tire), watch out for Bison tubes being displayed as impulse-buy items near the checkouts. Quote
+Team Christiansen Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I don't know that anybody outside of the geocaching community calls them bison tubes, but just ask for a metal pill case or tube at the drug store. Quote

Bison is a particular brand (Bison Designs). How many metal pill cases are actually made by Bison Designs? Quote
321geocache Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I found some at my local hardware store. They are usually referred to around here as keychain pill containers. Quote
+arisoft Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I have bought many from DX.com. But whatever brand I have used, they all have the same problem. The O-ring is made of rubber type which is not UV-light resistant. In one or two years the gasket breaks itself and water starts collecting inside. There is a good reason why unsuitable rubber type is used. The outdoor proof O-ring costs many times more. You can buy suitable UV-resistant and water vapor proof O-rings from industrial rubber suppliers. Edited July 28, 2018 by arisoft Quote
