tiny cache containers

Post by the Monkey King » 14 November 13 10:25 am

I was cleaning up the house and came across 23 of these containers. They are waterproof match tubes, and rather than throw them out I thought they could be of use as a tiny cache container:

They come in two colours: green and captain obvious:

And are big enough that you can put a bison tube in them with a little space to spare:

The only drawback is you have to hope that anyone finding it pushes the cap back on correctly or I could see them being no so waterproof.

These are very popular in the UK and Ireland... see them everywhere as Micros, mostly pretty dry!

Great :D I might hide a couple and see how they hold up in the weather.

Not sure I can hide all 23 though :-k

I was lucky as I didn't have to buy mine... in fact I was being paid when I was given them :)

Just remember it was the MATCH that was waterproof, not the container ;)
