+mogolloyd Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Why are they called bison containers? I was expecting something to do with the big prarie mammal. Quote Link to comment

kayaker22589 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I found a knockoff at a gas station for 2.50 yesterday. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I found a knockoff at a gas station for 2.50 yesterday. Are the knockoffs any good? I know the Bison cylinders are totally waterproof (I used on for an underwater cache and the log stayed dry) and practically indestructable. Well a hammer could do one in, but I mean with normal use.

I ran across a travel bug last week that had the black tags on it and I wondered where the owner got those. They are great and really added something to the travel bug I'm sure that I'm going to order several things from your site. Quote Link to comment

Go to eBay and search on "pill holder" from the main page. You should see lots of 12 in 2 varieties. Both are similar to Bison. One unscrews in the middle (which actually makes getting the log in and out easier) and the other as a separate inner container that can make an even more evil hide in a protected spot. The lots usually go for 2-5 dollars and shipping is 7. $1 or less per tube is good for me. Others in my area have used these and they have held up well. The seal can go bad after awhile but so will a Bison's. Quote Link to comment
+Moe the Sleaze Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 The seal can go bad after awhile but so will a Bison's. One thing I've learned is that if you paint the tube, mask off the O-ring. Solvents in the paint will ruin the seal. Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 www.bisondesigns.com and www.sissy-n-cr.com were very polite in donating to our upcoming September 26 event so I would highly recommend folks patronize them and order much. Very neato stuffs from them. Thanks again peoples. Quote Link to comment
+5¢ Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 go with the link nfa gave you. I got them for a buck and 8 cents a piece. The only problem was you had to order nine to get them to accept your order. I work with a lot of people ( older don't mean to offend) that take pills everyday so I gave quite a few of the 9 I had to order away. Quote Link to comment
+GeoSharks Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I bought a few at my local REI store. Quote Link to comment
+JackCacheNC Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Best bet is to search eBay. Use keyword pill holder. Not Bison but work just as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5521313380&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5521313380&rd=1 Or by seller: wholesale2usa He sells in lots of 12. His shipping charges sound high. $7.99-8.99 but I usually win a lot of 12 for .99 -1.99 so my each cost is low. Other sellers sell each but per unit cost way higher. Quote Link to comment
