Waterproof Cd Containers

[+TeamK-9]

Okay, so I came up with a cache idea, and basically it'll be sort of a mystery a cache, but in reality, it will be a multi cache.

 

Basically, what I want to do is hide a container full of CDs, people will have to go out, find the CD, then take it home to the computer, and watch a video clip on the CD to get the clues for the next cache, this would go on for a stage or two.

 

Anyway, my question is, does anyone know of any good water proof sealing CD binder type things, it doesn't have to be big, no more than maybe enough to hold 6 CDs or so...

boom

 

I don't know if that helped, but I tried...

Yah, I already search amazon for CD wallets and after quickly skimming, couldnt find anything quite what I needed...

If you can fit the video clip on a mini-CDR you might have more options. For example, the business-card size CDRs fit perfectly into decon containers.

 

Good luck!

A humble suggestion:

 

Perhaps instead of the burned CD, why not just leave a business type card with a web address on it. Then, they could go home and watch your video clues on your web page. Cheap. Easy to keep dry. And takes up alot less room in the cache.

This may be a better idea for another reason: Lots of people don't like putting CDs/disk from "unknown sources" in their computers.

The business cards are the better way to go IMHO.

Yah, I guess that could with the file being online or something similar.

Double Zip Lock????

I wouldn't think CD's would matter if they got a little wet. But then again, I don't know because I have never tryed keeping them wet for any amount of time.

Zip lock freezer bags (heavier than the standard ones) are perfect for this, each CD can be in it's own bag which would keep it dry and protect it from light scratches while being transported. Why make it any more expensive than that?

I would have to agree with the idea of the card with a reference to a website. It would be much easier for the hider and the searchers. Not to mention it would probably save you some $$$$ in the long run.

There is no way in Hades I'm going to put a CD that I found out in the woods in my computer. I don't know where it has been, or where it came from, or what is on it. I practice safe computing, as much as possible, and this is a bad, bad idea. How could you insure everyone brought the CDs back to the cache? If even a few don't, you'll soon have a dead cache. A pointer to a website should be fine, though, and accomplish the same thing better.

This is what I said:

This is my point being made:

Other than that, it sounds like a great idea. Edited April 4, 2004 by cache_us_if_you_can
