+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Hi there, I would like to make some creative micros. Can anyone lead me to a site where bison tubes can be purchased, please? Quote
+clearpath Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) Sissy-n-CR store. click here. Edited November 24, 2004 by clearpath Quote
+YuccaPatrol Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Get them from Sissy. She has ones with Geocache labels engraved on them in a really important "do not touch" kind of way. . . Of course, I like mine so much I have yet to place them! Quote
+Mudinyeri Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 If you're not married to the Bison Tube I have similarly sized containers (plastic) that I'll send you for the cost of shipping. Here's a pic (the taller one): They're just under 2" long and 1/2" in diameter. I'll send you 25 at a time if you want. Quote

+CompuCash Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 check out longs and walgreens for nitro containers - Quote
+welch Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 check out longs and walgreens for nitro containers - Which are nice (as are the larger 'pill' ones), but their also 5-6 bucks each . Quote
+Team Teuton Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5537911526&rd=1 These are pretty much the same as the Bison tubes. Works out to about a buck a piece even including the too-high shipping. They hold camo paint well too. I use them for cache prizes. Quote
+Isonzo Karst Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) Check out IMS surplus, on down this page you'll find the stainless tube with O ring seal., with small stainless split ring. It comes with the screw top inner liner tube (an inert plastic for nitro pills) that can be used by itself as a log container. $1 each. Just below the stainless containers are slightly larger ones in aluminum, also with an O ring seal. I don't remember what I paid for shipping, but it was reasonable. I believe this is exactly the same item as the Ebay auction above. Edited November 24, 2004 by Isonzo Karst Quote
+Ambrosia Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 For teeny tiny containers, get the pet ID tags at a pet store. Maybe 2 or 3 bucks. Quote
+briansnat Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) You can get the Bison cylinders from Bison Designs. The large is $4 and the small is $2. Edited November 25, 2004 by briansnat Quote
CoyoteRed Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 (edited) We appreciate the plugs! Those stainless capsules are about 3/8" shorter than the small bison tube and the same diameter. While I haven't bought from that company on eBay I noticed that is the cheapest way to get a quality small capsule. I bought mine a while back from IMS Surplus when I was checking things out. Of course, they only come is shiny silver and can't be easily engraved. I figure a good way to camo one is get a t-shirt with the Real Tree camo pattern and cut it up make little pouches--kind of like mini ghillie suits for micros. We have the Bison tubes in black or green. I think the black is the easiest to hide as it naturally hides in shadows. Hope this helps! Edited November 24, 2004 by CoyoteRed Quote

I can send you 25 of them via Priority Mail for $5.00. I got them from a friend of mine who's in the medical supply business. They're great for selling crack too! Edit: I also have a formatted log/geocaching message that I can e-mail to those who are interested. It's set up to be rolled up and fit perfectly in the Nalgen containers.

+Birdsong-n-Bud Posted December 1, 2004 Author Posted December 1, 2004 has anyone heard from him? Yes, I have. I purchased some from him. He responded right away. Try emailing him instead of posting here...that might help. He is very nice. Quote

He seems to have not come back to the forum - I'd like to get some of these from him - I'm only on the forums periodically. Like Birdsong said, e-mail me. That'll get my attention! Anyone who wants any of these just drop me a line at toby @ theasplins.com (Remove the spaces from the e-mail addy. I'm just trying to foil the spam bots.) I can send you between 1 and 25 for $5.00 shipped anywhere in the Continental U.S. I have about 1000 of these. I also have a formatted Goecaching message and log that fits into the tubes when cut down that I'll e-mail to anyone who buys some. Happy caching! Edited December 2, 2004 by Mudinyeri Quote
+Marky Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 check out longs and walgreens for nitro containers - Which are nice (as are the larger 'pill' ones), but their also 5-6 bucks each . I saw those at Longs the other day. They were only $1.99. --Marky Quote
