+nfa Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi, I've heard lots of people mention "Decon Containers" when talking about small cache containers...I assume that they're not talking about the rat poison boxes (which are cardboard and, well...poison). I would love to find out what they really are, I hate that, "out of the loop" feeling. Thanks, nfa Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) Try clicking the search icon and typing decon into the Search by keyword box. Select anydate in the refine search area, click the "search title only" radio button. Highlight "all forums" in the search where section. This returns 9 results. Probably more information than anybody wants or needs about decon boxes. Edited May 18, 2004 by rusty_tlc Quote Link to comment

Actually...simply responding that they are small -sized military surplus decontamination containers would have been more than enough, and would have saved you some typing. It would, however, have robbed you of a valuable teachable moment. At any rate, I now know what decon containers are. Thanks again, nfa Edited May 18, 2004 by NFA 1 Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I see a lot of post in which new comers are admonished to search the forums before they ask a question. I have never seen anybody explain how. Just thought it might help. There is a huge amount of information contained within these hallowed halls there for the taking, if you have the keys. I'm not sure what that means. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 You know...you're right...I didn't know how to search the forums, and now I do. I learned what I wanted to find out, and learned how to find out the next time. Thanks! nfa Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Thats what I get for posting outside the AS thread. I actually did something good. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Where'd you get blue decon containers! I've only seen green and black. Quote Link to comment
+OurWoods Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 (edited) Where'd you get blue decon containers! I've only seen green and black. They are black, I recognize the photo from online store Spruce Mountain Surplus. It's just a bad photo. [Edited to remove image] Edited May 18, 2004 by OurWoods Quote Link to comment
+jasonhuber Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I was NBC in the army (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Warfare Specialist). These decon containers were used to hold very dangerous chemicals... No just kidding. The were used to hold a charchol (sp?) like powder which would presumably soak up any chemical agent applied to the skin. Although this wasnt necessary information, I thought it might be interesting to some. Quote Link to comment

I usually sand that off just so it doesn't alarm people. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Decon containers are used to hold decontamination toweletts. They are really just gauze soaked in a neutralizing chemical that is supposed to counteract and remove droplets of chemicals from the skin. There are three steps; each packet has a big number on it, that you would apply in order. Quote Link to comment
