+nfa Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Hi, I placed a YJTB in this Hydrocache today, and it seems to be operating normally. As I was picking a couple of leeches off of my legs, I wondered why the cache hasn't been visited yet...maybe now with a YJTB in it...I hope... nfa Quote Link to comment
+Chillibusher Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I was thinking of doing something like this. What kind of container did you use. I noticed the chuckles beside the comment watertight in the cache description. Quote Link to comment
+Polgara Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 LOL! I took a pic of a YJTB when i was in Aruba. I put it on the bottom of the caribbean on smoe coral with some fish and took a pic, but i don't have the pics back yet. The fish enjoyed the TB, they actually bit at it, like a fishing lure cause it shimmered under water. The little chain attaching the tag got yucky after dipping in the salt water.

Black Mage Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have a question about under water caches. When you place/find one is it usually already full of water, or are they watertight, full of air and anchored to the bottom? Quote Link to comment
+CrimsonWrath Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I have a question about under water caches. When you place/find one is it usually already full of water, or are they watertight, full of air and anchored to the bottom? The one I've got, Liberty Bay Resort Cache, is designed to get water in the outer container, but the inner one has so far held up quite well. Funny thing is, I've got a YJTB (Yellow Jeep Travel Bug) headed toward this cache within the next few days too! I'll be sure to pack it in a special ziplog so that it can breathe under there...

King Kahekili on Maui is designed to allow water inside which only makes sense to me, since water is getting inside eventually anyhow. I need more of these sorts of caches, I really do......

New York eh? Wish i were closer, would have headed out for it the day after it was listed! Love these kinds of caches!!! Quote Link to comment
+Chillibusher Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 OK - what's yjtb? Yellow Jeep Travel Bug Quote Link to comment
+Will+Bill Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Your area is swarming with the Jeep Travel Bugs. Quote Link to comment
+nfa Posted June 30, 2004 Author Share Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) I was thinking of doing something like this. What kind of container did you use. I noticed the chuckles beside the comment watertight in the cache description. Hi, The cache is a 1 liter nalgene lexan jar, and the stuff inside is in ziplocks. The YJTB is floating next to the big jar in a smaller nalgene jar, inside the stuff sack I suspended it all inside of in the water. The chuckles are included in the listing because the concept of a watertight cache container is far-removed from the reality...the contents will always get wet. nfa Edited June 30, 2004 by NFA Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 The battery canister for large scuba lights( cave diving, photography) makes a true water proof container. Now, getting users to properly clean the leaves/sand/dirt off the O ring seal before resubmerging, that's another story. So maybe the chuckles still apply. Quote Link to comment
