+welch Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 how big? say 17" x7.5" x14"tall the three ideas i can up with(geocache related of course) are: A. make a large library/book trader cache. B. hide it with a couple smaller containers inside so the next finder(s) also can take one out and hide. but that leads to a lot of questions, like should they have to place one? do they create a page for it? should they report the coords. to me and i have to do it? should the "off sets" even have there own pages??? (this idea would need some work to be used....) C. hide a moderatly difficult cache with a large first finder prize or maybe paint up a couple smaller ammo cans and put them in it, so a cacher that needs a container for a cache can have one. (in hopes as newbie thats thinking about placing a cache will use a good container and not gladware ) so what would you do? something like above or totally different? Quote Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Probably a big ole library cache, yeah, thats it. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 A local Geocacher and I have been talking about using one of these and calling it the Mother of All Caches. We'd chip in to fill it up with fairly expensive and interesting items. The idea is to plant a number of other caches, with partial coordinates, or parts of a code word. Once someone found all the caches, they'd have the coordinates for the MOAC, or have to e-mail one of us for the coordinates. It would be a take something and leave noting cache, so when it was depleted, it would be archived. Perhaps you may want to consider a variation of this idea.

+cliffy Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 If it were slightly bigger I'd: Pack a months worth of MRE rations in there along with myself and scream BOOO! to every cacher who opened it up... ----------------------------------------------------------- "Whad'ya mean you didn't save the location of the truck?..EEEK!!!..."

+kevin917z Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 i have several 4.5 cubic feet ammo boxes(originally for storing bomb components for the military), that i was thinking of hidding caches in, they are almost to big and heavy to carry out to the locations, my only cache i have hidden weighed about 70 pounds, i had to lash it to my hiking backpack to get it out to the location i would do like i have done in the past if i had a big ammo can and fill it up with stuff till it cant hold anymore! oh by the way, i know where you can find some big enough for a person to fit in, if you really like MRE's LOL Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 The POTA caches are mongo-mega ammo boxes. See this pic... Hope I can cache with it soon. Markwell Chicago Geocaching Quote Link to comment
+travisl Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Like I did for my Centauri Mission: The Mother Ship cache. I think there were 20 sub-caches in there when I started. Seven of them have been placed as new caches. "I'm sure she would have been thrilled to find so much pooh in a little metal box." Quote Link to comment
+KYtrex Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I would fill it up with stuff I found at my local thrift store and sell it on Ebay for as much as I could get! KYtrex ----------------- A "Buckeye" is just a "Hillbilly" that ran out of money on the way to Michigan Quote Link to comment
