+Milbank Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Could I place a disposable camera with new TB? What would my options be with the film is full? Could I ask that the camera be mailed back to me and then have the current owner of the TB place a new camera with the TB. I could post the photo's on the TB page for everyone to see. Has this been done before? Quote Link to comment

+nfa Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I think that a TB camera would be a great idea...when the film is done, ask the cacher holding it to email you for your address, and then just start a new camera. nfa Quote Link to comment
+brad.32 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Snappy (http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?ID=23017) is another single-use camera. The bug owner is planning to have the finders take pictures as Snappy travels the race "track" and post the pictures. Quote Link to comment
+Seamus Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Shutterbug Made it across the country from Maryland to SoCal. ButterShug made it to the San Francisco area before it and the cache it was in went MIA. Go North! Only made it a few steps from Florida to Maryland before disappearing. I've recently confirmed the missing status of ButterShug and Go North!, and made a pair of new cameras to re-start their treks from here. A new one is ready for ShutterBug to make a return trip from SoCal back to Maryland. I like to make new wrappers for them: Carefully remove the cardboard wrapper Scan it at high resolution With a graphics program, redesign it however you like Protect the printed side with self-adhesive laminating sheets Make liberal use of a hot-melt glue gun to re-wrap the camera These things are great fun, even if they don't always make it where they're going. If you're really concerned about replacing the camera en route, you could probably try a super-cheap reloadable one from somewhere like American Science and Surplus, though I suspect that this might run a higher risk of pilferage, since the one-time-use guys have little value after the film is gone, and a reloadable one can be stolen and used indefinitely.
