Salvo Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 As I had said on one of my other posts earlier today.... 1) "How well will this hold up against a bear..."? Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted July 23, 2002 Author Share Posted July 23, 2002 So then what's more exciting, having a bear beat the snot out of your cache or having the bomb squad blow it up? I'd post it as a poll iffin I knew how. oh yeah, I bought one. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< What is the price of experience, do men buy it for a song, Or wisdom for a dance in the street.................

+Seay me Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 quote:Originally posted by pater47:"I wonder if they warp any in summer heat - looks like they might be thick enough not to tho " Being that they are ammo cans and as such usually would be used by the military they would need to be able to stand up to whatever climate a military would be in. I'd say that they would do just fine in summer heat. Chip Quote Link to comment
+culpc Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Probably hold up against bears okay, too. After all, they are built to survive armorers and rough riding vehicles!

azog Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 A friend of mine said that perhaps the plastic ones are less threatening. Maybe they won't get blown up. Quote Link to comment

+phantom4099 Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 I actually think they look more threatning, at least from the pictures. I think some of that may go away if they remove the explosive sign off the side, but from the pic the still look more creepy. Wyatt W.

+st_richardson Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 quote:Originally posted by ChazC:Probably hold up against bears okay, too. ... I've seen backpacking metal fuel cans that were punched with holes from bears. I would not want that bear to even take on my metal ammo cans. Keep the food out of the cache and don't give them a reason to try to get in them. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 It's all I can do not to type IN ALL CAPS! Who cares how threatening a cache container looks!?!? My son’s cache was a surplus wooden rocket box painted in camo colors. To someone paranoid I bet it looks VERY threatening. But guess what? I DON’T CARE! There seems to be some creepy sort of political correctness working it’s way into this hobby. “Don’t put your cache near any broken glass.” “Don’t put your cache where a branch may become dislodged from it’s tree.” “Find happy non-threatening cache containers.” ~!@# that. I became interested in geocaching because it offered adventure. Adventure can be dangerous, and so apparently is common sense. (What terrorist is going to bomb an old stump deep in the woods?) As long as it’s identified as a cache container (GEOCACHE written on the outside for example) then why worry about it? At the rate geocaching is growing it’s inevitable that someone somewhere will use the hobby or some portion thereof for an unlawful act. What then? Jeremy going to pull the plug on the whole thing? Are we going to kill it off with rules and regulations? I’ve said it before; it does NOT take a village to place a cache. I believe that if a person has enough brain matter to work their GPSr then they probably have enough to plunk down a cache without creating an international incident. I’m sure everyone is aware of recent events and won’t be putting an ammo can up in the supports of a local bridge. Duh. I am aware of my idealistic leanings, that I prefer to believe the best about people until I’m shown otherwise. That’s why I think this is such a non-issue. Whew, glad I got that off my chest. Sorry to all. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< What is the price of experience, do men buy it for a song, Or wisdom for a dance in the street................. Quote Link to comment

+culpc Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I like Criminal's thought on political correctness! I hid my newest cache in a decon container with the label left on and a tag on the back to identify it. After reading the directions for use on the decon container, I felt that it was just too good to resist. It ought to give someone a start if they stumble across it!

+Criminal Posted July 26, 2002 Author Share Posted July 26, 2002 It occurred to me just now that you and he seem to have some kind of rivalry going. Then my thought train pulled into the schizophrenia station and I got the idea that he is really your alter ego. I never see you both in the same place at the same time. Have you bumped your head recently? Is there any span of time you cannot account for? If you and he are the same person, then I owe you an apology. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>< What is the price of experience, do men buy it for a song, Or wisdom for a dance in the street.................

OSUAmigo Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I think that the Army stinks. I mean come on, why can't they give the rest of America the chance to shoot some of the ammo that they use. I mean, wouldn't be nice if you HAD to shoot a whole crate of 81mm arty rounds in a year. Come on Bush, I wanna Geocach Osama. If the Army would just let us into the area to start caching .
