+TheLegoFool&Missus Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 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. <snip>picture<snip> That's just plain nasty! I love it! Quote Link to comment
+Team LaLonde Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment

(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 . Quote Link to comment
+RUFFLEDOSTRICH Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment

(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 .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. Quote Link to comment

Good luck. 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 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 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.

+ChaseOnTheGo Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 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.

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

+byte Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment
+krisandmel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 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. ~k Quote Link to comment
+krisandmel Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment
chuckr30 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment

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.
