Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)

[+roziecakes]

 

Yeah you guys are right, I made a mistake and I learned from it. The pics have been deleted and I thank you for the way you expressed your concerns rather then others.

 

Thanks!

 

And thank YOU for realizing that we said what we said not to be mean to you, but to help. I appreciate that, it's quite refreshing Hope to see you around here more often

Here's my drain GC. Got the idea from this thread. Gonna have some Halloween caches come up soon

Oh oh!!!

Oh oh!!!

 

+1 Was that hole on your own property? I hope so, if not, then I feel bad for you and the storm to follow.

[+LukeTrocity]

I hope that hole was already there and in the shape of that pvc pipe young man!

[+tango501]

think it might get full of water

Will you people get over yourselves.. go view the other threads about buried caches if the pictures bother you.

It was, it's deep grass. And it's sealed...

Edit: To elaborate, I pushed the grass to the side with my hands. No tool was used to bury this cache. It's fescue and I reached the netting that is at the bottom of the grass. Is it now ok? Or should I change it? I'm up to constructive criticism, as I am new to hiding.

Your cache is fine just the way it is. Don't change a thing, unless it gets damp, then cross that bridge when you get to it. Buried caches are a hyper sensitive subject for many cachers, as land managers have denied caching on their properties in the past based solely on the misconception that our game revolves around buried treasure. Hence, most any time a cache that resides even partially below ground level gets displayed, without an explanation, hackles get raised. Judging by your explanation, you read, understood and followed the guidelines, not using any "pointy" thing to hide it. Looks pretty kewl!

I wish I had pictures, we did a series called FARM FRESH, most of the containers were plastic fruit bought at the craft store, used a spade bit to drill out a hole the size of a film can and hid them around in a 25 mile area. They were Farm Fresh, a Red Delicious, Farm Fresh a Banana, etc...the best is Farm Fresh, a Vineyard in the orchard. It is a cluster of Concord Grapes, 15 feet up in an apple tree.

You have blatently violated the "spirit" of the guidelines. For further information, please see this thread.

which is worse that or straying off topic?

digging rules dont apply if its your own property.

[+mousekakat]

ENOUGH with the cache police, eesh. Can we get back on track before this is closed for being off topic.

 

Get a life and quit trying people how to play the game, they have reviewers, let them do their job!

Hey, I have one like that, only it is different and bigger.

[greenworldfeather]

Here is one I've been working on. This is not deployed yet. For the description, I was just going to put something like, "log book is in camo film container..."

 

 

That is evil, man! Reminds me of the 5-gallon water jug I was going to fill with film canisters. I have about 550 film containers so I should have enough.

[l2embrandt]

WOW! this thread is veeeeery educational! dibs to all for creativity

That wouldn't be a "+1". I was just saying that there was going to be drama, not that I was going to make it.

I had once had one called "Pineapple"... a plastic apple hanging in a pine tree.

Wholly..... I just got a good laugh. I just found the exact same rat at a dollar store and have already started converting him.... I thought I'd check the forums to see if there was etiquette for Halloween caches and my original idea isn't that original anymore. ~Reactor_Rat

I bought one of these. I haven't quite figured out what to do with it, yet. (It's a rubber dog toy.)

get a bunch and make a bomb tree 10 miles from anyone.

 

get a bunch and make a wyle E coyote / road runner series.

 

put one under a lamppost and wait for that one hapless cacher to come along and get on the news.

Your third suggestion was actually my original idea. Now I'm leaning toward more of a Rocky and Bullwinkle theme.

The picture needs to be hosted someplace else then post the img link here.

 

Read the knowledgebook article.

Loving what DukeyDuke did, I modified it slightly to fit things I could find. I used regular hardware instead of the kid proof items. The ammo can is one I found that is slightly larger than a normal can. It is the same width and length, but the height is 11 inches tall. Construction is basically similar to DukeyDuke's design. I used 1/4" dowels for hinges. The final area of the cache is about 4x3.25x4. As for the combination to the first lock, since I'm first using this for an upcoming event, I written it on the container. For placement in the wild, it could be handled where folks have to have the cache page where the combo is given, or a multi where numbers are gained, or a mystery to force folks to figure it out that way. This will be hidden using the classic parallel stick cammo.

Very clever write up and cache. I bet you got some great logs. Hope you replace it!

Looks like a lot of work went into making that. I'm sure cachers will find it to be fun.

Wow, all of these awesome cache containers put my micros to shame .

Clever things can be done with micros.

This isn't unique, but it was enjoyed for awhile. Had to archive the cache as it went missing more times than I was willing to replace it.

 

 

 

Sorry, but I don't know how to decrease the size of the photos.

This is going to be perfect for one of my upcoming hides... I really didn't want to just place a nano and be done with it, I wanted something that's more fitting for the situation. Think you might be willing to share what you used to put this together?

[+Highland Horde]

This is another that I am working on. Just need a place for it...

Sure. I bought the reflector at our local OSH then bought a round mint/candy container that was red on the outside and was a pretty close match to the size of the reflector. The reflector had sticky tape on the back so I attached the mint/candy container to it so that the opening was facing out. I used velcro on a portion of the candy container and on the surface where it was going. Need to be careful to put the velcro on in such a manner that the cache opening will still work. Very easy to do.

Very cute, I just set up a couple like these today but a little more gruesome for a Halloween theme. I'll wait til the weekend gets closer so the non-retirees can have a crack at getting the FTF.

Not quite. That's a vastly superior lock-n-lock-n-lock container. Edited September 20, 2010 by knowschad

[+webgoof]

Is that one of them lock-in-lock containers I've been hearing about?

 

No, a lock-n-lock is a tupperware-type container, where the lid has 4 "tabs" that fold down/snap to the base: one on each side.

This is a lock-n-lock container...

I'll check here. Are there any identifying marks? Perhaps a tattoo or something?

[+webgoof]

Uhm....It has a foot on the end....that helps, right?

 

In on-topic news; I've created a reflector cache, but haven't placed it yet. I got a set from the hardware store, popped the red part out of the white case, and used resin to secure magnets to each half.

 

 

 

 

And oh, em, gee, sorry bout them huge images!
