+racher Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Does anyone have any ideas on what would be a good type of container for larger caches. I'm looking for something to hold a PS2 game system and about 10 games (DVD size cases). I can only think of rubbermaid type containers. What other suggestions does everyone have? -Eric Quote Link to comment
+eddthejailer Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i am still partial to army surplus stores they have a large selection of large waterproof containers that will keep it safe and sound. Quote Link to comment
+ohgr Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 It's going to be pretty hard to trade up or even for a PS2! Is this going to be a FTF prize? And can we ask why the urge to give away a PS2 to a fellow cacher. I'm oh so curious. Ohgr Quote Link to comment
nobby.nobbs Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 i know some good spots to hide it near my house if you need any suggestions!! you just very generous or have you won something recently ie state lottery? Quote Link to comment
+Teamhawaii1981 & blueicyrose Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 My guess is his kids were bad and this is punishment. Ideas: Plastic Mailbox in the middle of nowhere. Then just change it after the PS2 is gone. Quote Link to comment

+briansnat Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) Its a bit expensive, but this Military Grenade Box makes an excellent large cache contianer. I know of one person who has placed one and its chock full of great stuff. A little cheaper is this Fat ammo box.. And this Tall ammo box. Edited June 2, 2005 by briansnat Quote Link to comment
+AtoZ Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 So much for on topic postings. Home Depot has 5 gallon buckets. I had a cache called Teddy Bear Picnic that was trading stuffed animals. At one time it had a 2 foot tall Barnie in it. Yuo just got to find the right spot to put it. cheers Quote Link to comment
+VegasCacheHounds Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Wow, some muggle is going to be very happy! Okay, seriously now, I think a PS2 would be an amazing FTF prize. If that was in my area I'd definatly be trying to get that one. Is this going to be a challanging cache? Some sort of tough puzzle or such would be cool, maybe a puzzle based off of a popular PS2 Game... Quote Link to comment
+racher Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Thank you everyone for those answers, I'd like to stick to an ammo box if I could. I think I'm going to go with the 'Grenade Ammo Box' for the PS2, and a second regular Box to hold the games/controllers if necessary. The Grenade Box is 16.25 x 7.5 x 6 inches, while the PS2 is 11.9 x 7.2 x 3.1 inches. For those that are curious as to the back story, I was taking out the trash last night and found the PS2, controller, cables, and a couple games and all in the garbage by my town-home. I couldn't believe it. I thought it must be broken, brought it inside and cleaned it up, and it worked perfectly. I already own a PS2, and most of my friends already have a gaming system, so I thought of just pawning it off. Then another friend suggest making it into a cache. Great idea I thought! So, my goal is to create a difficult cache, somewhere in Minnesota, (where I live obviously), I'm going to add a couple of my PS2 games I don't play anymore. I just didn't know what container to put it in. I need to order that grenade container, get a spot picked and puzzle created. I'm aiming for June 18th as the weekend when it will be planted, somewhere around central MN, within a 75 Mile radius of St. Cloud, MN. You know what they say, "One man's trash, is another cacher's FTF prize!" -Eric Quote Link to comment
Plank&Calculon Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Someone threw out a functional PS2? I don't get it. Maybe someone in the area is going to look for it, i.e. their house was robbed and the thief temporarily stowed it outside. Are you certain that it was thrown out intentionally? Quote Link to comment
CacheNCarryMA Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 How about a regular sized cache with a "coupon" good for one PS2 (see racher for details of pickup). Quote Link to comment
+racher Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Plank - My area of town is pretty decent I don't think it was stolen. It was pretty trashed, tossed in there with other cables, cords, kitchen utensils. I'm thinking it's a moving day toss. Also, what if you got the thing in 2000, they games they had with it were like NHL 2001, some old Playstation one game. I bet they just never played it anymore. I don't play my PS2 much anymore because I game on my computer more often. That's why I wanted to toss some of my games in the cache too. Spread the love. CacheNCarry - I like that idea, it allows me to get it out in the field quicker than ordering a large ammo can. Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 How about a regular sized cache with a "coupon" good for one PS2 (see racher for details of pickup). There ya go! The coupon could tell the finder to contact you via the email link in your profile. They would have to have a geocacher account and log in to contact you to get the PS2. You would recognize the email sent through the geocaching.com servers and it would verify you had an actual geocacher and not a muggle trying to pilfer a PS2. Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Man whenever you decide to hide that sucker, place it near me. I would love to have it. Quote Link to comment
