+robotman Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Can anyone suggest the best (aka cheapest) place to get ammo boxes online? I live near San Fran if anyone knows of any stores, too. I've checked a couple Army outlets and they have told me that the ammo boxes are hard to find. Something about a goverment conspiracy to destroy them. I like the ammo boxes for their weather-proofness and camoflauge. Also can some one suggest some of the various online resources to get Geocaching stickers to label caches? And I guess... also microcache labels? Logsheets? Etc. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks. The Robot Family Quote Link to comment
Team Spending Time, Saving Cache Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ctd/product.asp?sku=ZAA%2D095&AID=10279846&PID=1275160 Cheaper than Dirt is the most resonable place I have found for the ammo boxes, and the are not outrageous on shipping like alot of places. I just got my order of 3 ammo boxes yesterday from them. Live to Cache... Cache to Live... Quote Link to comment
dsandbro Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I just scored at my local second-hand store. Not ammo boxes, but cookie tins. I bought 5 with good tight lids for a dollar. Not quite as durable and weatherproof as ammo boxes but a whole lot cheaper and easier to find. A little dark green and brown spray paint and I'm ready to go. =========================================================== "The time has come" the Walrus said "to speak of many things; of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and Kings".

+HartClimbs Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I'd also recommend cheaperthandirt.com. I've ordered several times from them - no problems. The only downside is you'll soon find your mailman delivering various survivalist catalogs (as it looks like they sell their customer lists). -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ There is no such thing as "fun for the whole family." -Jerry Seinfeld Quote Link to comment
+Gimpy Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 cheaperthandirt.com gets my vote as well. I've gotten 40 ammo boxes from them, & all in great shape. Delivered to my door at a great price. "Gimpy" --N2GLS-- Quote Link to comment
+robotman Posted May 24, 2003 Author Share Posted May 24, 2003 Wow... CheaperThanDirt is a great deal! The same ammo containers are $15 on some other internet sites. I don't know about the goverment trying to get rid of these but CheaperThanDirt has over 15,000 in stock. I just ordered 10. Thanks for all the tips!! The Robot Family Quote Link to comment
