@scouttroop291 What?

Two problems with your cache: First you did not prime the PVC before gluing it. Second, you should use some sort of pipe dope to keep the threads on the cap sealed in case pressure builds up with heavy ground water. It will allow you to reuse your cap but it will also keep it sealed better than without doping it.

I would use PVC cleaner first and then PVC cement rather than that All-Purpose crap. Frost heaves and normal expansion and contraction due to weather "may" crack open the seal on your pipes allowing moisture in. Also use good non-hardening pipe dope on the threads of that threaded coupling. If you don't have silica gel packs to absorb moisture, get some really dry newspaper and roll it in a ball and stuff that down the pipe first. It will absorb all the moisture and keep your cashe nice.

@TriggerJunkie I think it was about $26 something. I bought the supplies at a local family owned business. Check around 1:45 I mention it. Thanks for watching.

well, i don't know why people keep picking on little details. they never learne to use the information they're recieving, they just wanna know about complaining. that's why they keep fighting over bear grylls vs les stroud thing instead of learning from both of them. I think your vid is great, and has given me many ideas to prepare my own cache. thak you.
