GeoSnippits What NOT To Hide As A Geocache

what happend with the pill tube

The pill bottle leaked as bad as the key holder. They are really just meant to keep pills from getting busted and not to withstand the elements outside. -HHH

Cool video! Here in the Puget Sound, everything you dunk tested (and the container failed) always end up with soaked logs, and the Altoids tins rust shut. However, on a trip to Arizona, a tin valentine heart container and a breath strip container (really! It was magnetized to the back of a sign) were perfectly fine. So, yea, environment really does matter!

I'm curious (because these are the best caches in this wet weather), how long can an ammo can and a Lock-and-Lock be dunked?

Great questions, the lock and lock can be put on incorrectly and sometimes does leak if not on perfectly is what I found. Ammo cans, as long as they are not dented I have seen them hidden under water as part of the actual hide and they were perfectly dry inside. thanks for asking. -HHH

Might want to check your audio mix on this - the music was awful loud and made you hard to understand at times.

Also, regarding the "Dunk Test": I've tested geocache containers by giving them a run through the dishwasher.

Thanks we realize this now.. I had a stern talking with the editing guy and he will not do this again. Thanks for putting up with the loud music. -HHH

aww I was excited for this video but it hardly ever gets wet here

And Ill confirm that in the desert of southern Arizona I have found tons of altoids tins and they work out pretty well

hey altoids... i just might try that...

You are most welcome and thanks for the, well thanks... -HHH
