Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)

[+TheLegoFool&Missus]

Here's our newest one! Don't know where it's going or when it will be placed, but it should stump a few folks.

That's just plain nasty!

I love it!

 

[+Team LaLonde]

Thanks for the encouragement! You guys make me want to place that stick cache even more. Too bad it will have to wait until the weekend.

i bought three of those nano's from sbell. they work really nice! thanks sbell.

Thank you.

Thank you.

i'm planning on making my own accorn cache out of some of them. (i know i know, i could just buy one from you) but what fun would that be . maybe if i cant i'll buy one .

[+RUFFLEDOSTRICH]

Here is my cache, not yet placed but will be going out hopefully within the week.

Oh and by the way to get the cache you are supposed to grab the hand and pull it out.

 

First picture whole cache.

this picture is just of the hand

 

And no funny comments about my paint job on the ammo box

 

How did you make the fake limbs (assuming they are fake...lol)? Feel free to e-mail off board with details, details, details.

A couple of quick thoughts about acorn caches:

• Don't try to use a real acorn because real squirrels will run off with it. I mold mine out of plastic and am careful to keep them away from plastic squirrels.
  
• The nanos that I use for the acorns are actually about twice as long as the regular nanos to allow for slightly larger logs.
  

Good luck.

Here's one I made up to hide over here in Iraq in a palm grove.Hasn't made it out yet.Kinda sucks but it'll do the job.

thanks for the tips! what i have done so far is i bought some miniture egg shaped wood things from hobby lobby, and then drilled a hole the same width as the nano. i'll use the normal sized ones cuase it;s only going to be a step in a multi. again, thanks!

[knowschad]

Team LaLonde's stick is indeed a good looking cache and I'm sure it'll get some great comments from the early finders, but be remember that wet wood swells... it could very well become very difficult to open in wet weather.

I'm amazed that they allow you to place caches in Iraq. Don't they get blown up as suspected IED's?

[+ChaseOnTheGo]

Unfortunately this one is no longer in service...

 

I found one of these last week... By far the smallest container I've ever seen (couldn't really imagine anything smaller though either)...

 

Pretty cool though!

 

These nano caches are popular in my area. I suppose they are available on Ebay with the right search words. Somewhere in this thread, I saw term "waterproof pill containers," but these are definately smaller. Will someone please identify the container by a searchable name? You could also add a link for purchase.

Thanks

We combat zone cachers(myself being a contractor) use common sense here.99% percent of the caches are very easy(rarely you'll find anything past a 2),and all of them have-"don't blow up" or "not an IED" written on them.Some have bad coords and they just give you a pic of where it's at.It's all basically easy finds to kill time and log one or two so we don't go nutzo over here while waiting to get back to some real 4's and 5's.There's places you could hide a five gallon pail,but alot of the ones I see are micro-medium size range.One great thing here-ammo cans are rediculously plentiful and free.But rarely you'll find a cache using one.I want to make one with a mk19 ammo can soon(even bigger than a .50 cal can,but a lil smaller than a pail).Here's one that I helped a fellow cacher to make that just put out.I got him into caching while he was on his six month deployment here.His first find was an FTF.I've been razzing him about it not stop.. .That's like going hunting for the first time and shooting a ten pointer fifteen minutes into the hunt.

 

You family guy fans'll love this un-

That's right.

The container itself is not quite watertight, and the cache page will mention that too!

Everything will be in baggies, with spare ones also inside.

Good point. I sure would like to see the reaction of someone when the walk out in the woods to find a camo phone!

VERY CHEAP NANOS & BISONS....I GET THEM HERE

 

Those nanos may be cheap, but $7.99 shipping and handling seems steep to ship ten nanos.

Hello: Here is ammo Can I painted last week. This one does not need camo as it is well protected. It even got a coat of wax to make it nice and shiny!

Dogs Welcome! GCRW8H

Here was my first cache box I painted. This one is also hidden so I could use bright colors and wax!

This was my first try at painting with non-glossy paint and camo colors. The military marking paint will wash off with Methyl Hydrate (gas line anti-freeze) which is easier than sanding them off.

I'm currently painting a couple ammo cans too, and discovered that liquid deglosser (used as a surface prep) removes the yellow paint entirely and turns the rest of the olive drab a very flat matte.

 

I'll post some pics once I'm finished.

[+krisandmel]

BTW, has anyone used Gorilla Waterproof Glue in any camo-jobs?

 

I'm thinking about maybe coating a LnL with the glue and then rolling it around in gravel or pine needles.

 

Would it last?

 

How about on metal?

Thanks, ~k

[Clan Riffster]

BTW, has anyone used Gorilla Waterproof Glue in any camo-jobs?

This one is pine bark stuck on an ammo can with Gorilla Glue. I had a few failures with this adhesive before reading the directions. The glue prefers a damp medium. Maybe water activated? Also, when it adheres, it swells to several times its original size, and turns pale yellow. Nothing a few spritzes of spray paint can't fix.

Those pipe ones look just like pipe bombs. In some areas it is illegal to make one of these under the "falsifying police report" charge, or something similar. It's just a bad idea anyway, especially if you happen to get a prosecutor in a bad mood.

I have no idea what cache container you are talking about but 'falsifying police report' will only stick if you were to make a police report. Either way, this is conversation that is better suited to a different thread.

 

Every one of the cache containers in this thread would make a great cache, if hidden in the proper location.

Exactly. I could hide one of these without causing public panic, just by choosing the right location.

Was that done with POV-Ray?

Remember when this thread was a place to come and share the cool cache containers (CCC's) that others have come up with? That was nice. I miss that.
