Dangerous cache contents

[+Lost in Space]

I could not open a topic on this the other day and so just made a note on another thread.

Just to make sure it is read by as many people as possible I am giving it it's own thread:-

 

Out caching the other day with my aged father, The Hornet, we came across a cache that was a smallish cylindrical, tupperware like, container.

 

On opening the said cache we were presented with the pointed end of a VERY sharp pencil.

 

I shudder to think what might have happened should a small child have opened the container and stuffed it's hand inside looking for the "treasure".

 

Could I ask all cachers to be aware of the possible dangers of such seemingly innocuous, articles when placing them in caches.

Please no black holes in anti-gravity cache containers. Those things could really ruin your day.

I guess you need to be careful of loose pen tops as well. They can cause choking if swallowed.

I once broke a nail opening an ammo can.

Eee, el10t, tha wa' lucky lad.

 

I once ripped both me arms off opening a tupperware container, poked me eye out whilst writing up 'log, tore an ear off on a bramble replacing t'said box at the top of a well, which 'a then proceeeded to fall down, brekking both legs on hitting 'bottom and starving to death before 'a was rescued.

 

By heck though, us UK cachers were happy in them days.

 

(With apologies to whichever Pythons wrote the Four Yorkshiremen sketch, assuming it was them. And to L.I.S. for making fun of what is a serious thread.) (...but el10t made me do it )

Tell that to the young today and they'll never believe it.
