- Small Tupperware containers
- Military decon containers
- Small Lock-n-Lock containers
- Small Rubbermaid containers(Seal-n-saver is best)
- Small peanut butter jars
- Others....
Regular Containers
Regular containers are containers that are large enough to hold a logbook and still have plenty of room left over for trade items. Some examples of regular sized cache containers are:
- Ammo cans
- Large peanut butter jars
- Lock&Locks
- Rubbermaid Plasticware
- Others....
Large Containers
There are some cache containers that will not fall into any of the other categories because they are very large. Some examples of large cache containers are:
- 5-gallon buckets
- Rubbermaid Action-Packers (24 Gallon)
- Abandoned Railroad Box-Cars
- Abandoned Bomb Shelters
Cache containers to stay away from
Unused sewer pipes
These containers are quite prone to leaking when they are cooled down in the winter, and then thawed out, creating a vacuum which sucks water into the pipe. Also, these containers resemble pipe bombs, and may create quite a disturbance if discovered by a muggle
Leak Prone containers
There are some containers that just will not keep the water out. Some of these are:
- Altoids tins
- Tic-tac or Listerine containers
Glass containers
You should not hide anything in a glass container. Glass containers can crack or shatter if they get frozen, dropped or stepped on. The broken glass is then potentially dangerous to animals and cachers.
Food containers
Food containers smell like food, and critters will nibble on or otherwise disturb them. Even if you wash them really well, they still smell like food to animals.
Good cache containers
Ammo cans
These containers are dry, rugged, cache containers from heaven. They have been known to survive floods, fires, tornadoes and everything else Mother Nature can seem to throw at them. They come in lots of different sizes to suit your caching needs.
