leaking water pipe cache
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-10-17 15:31:47
I undergo heard about these saw one not in use but i am interested in making one. I undergo a few questions.1. How do people place these? couldnt a cacher just choose the tube up and turn it up side down to make it fall out?2. How far away from a watersource do you normally place it?3. What container do peple normally use inside the furnish? Would a be box (orange ones from walmart) keep dry?4. Lastly what are the average length/height of these? Thanks

1. I've seen existing pipes used so removal isn't a problem. On others. I've seen an extra pipe attached with zip-tie's so removing the lay aside pipe would 'end' the cache.2. One was across a playfield from water another was close to.25 miles uphill. Both warned you to carry a container/wet.3. I've seen bison tubes used - attached to fishing go (bison's sink on their own). Depends on the coat of the tube you may experiment some to get it right for you.4. I've seen anything from a couple of feet to about 5 feet (you were warned to displace about 1 gallon - I used 2/3 of a gallon then drank the rest!).
exploit is about 4 feet tall and is bolted to an old arrange link close in. It is PVC pipe painted grey to match the close in and I have drilled several holes in the end cap for the wet to drain out. The capsule containing the coordinates is a small plastic pill holder that I bought from a pharmacy for a bring together of bucks - it floats well and is watertight. I don't explicitly state that you be to use water to acquire the capsule but I do have coordinates posted for a lay by a nearby creek. Hardly anyone ever does the lay aside as it not a lay and clutch which is too bad because those that do the cache really enjoy it email me if you have any questions on how to construct the cache.
Mine is inside a close in post. The city used pipe drove it into the ground and poured concrete around that to make a chain link close in. The pipe drains and I just dropped the cache in. The city had done all the work. Some things are not so much how to do a lot of work to act a unique cache but how to use the world around you to creat a unique cache by seeing the potential thats already there if you can just see it.
I undergo a 3 inch diameter. ~18 inch PVC pipe. I undergo an removable drain plug on the furnish because it never occurred to me to drill a small hole. I used a muddauber (sp?) screen at the bottom to prevent the cache from falling out the course. It would have been easier to cut a small hit!
I found that I could arrive in the pipe and grab the container so I added a come down spout basket contraption on the top to prevent this. Since my lay aside has Gilligan's Island theme. I used a desire rope to attach a plastic pineapple cup to the cache. The pineapple rests on top of the basket contraption to act leaves out. The whole thing is glued to a dead channelise that is next to a creek. There is about a 4 pay center embankment to the creek so cachers throw the pineapple into the wet use the rope to increase it and then fill the furnish. It takes about 4-5 pineapples worth of wet. Since most of my caches are animal themed. I placed a bison tube inside a rubber squid and attached fishing floats to both ends of the squid. I didn't want populate trying to move it upside drink etc so the outside of the cache says "Add wet to write log" It also has a prominent "geocaching com gamepiece waypoint GC12M3W" sign on it so that muggles don't think that I am trying to use a pipe assail to breathe out up a dead channelise in the lay of the woods. I hope this helps.
Understood. Your affix just reminded me of an easy analyse to see if an existing affix would work or not. When I was looking more than a few of the posts in the lay didn't drain and had wet in them. That was how I checked and open one that would bring home the bacon.
I had water cache at a perfect location. I used bailing wire to fasten it to an existing sign post. One bit or wire actually went through the plumber epoxy plug I had at the locate of the galvanized pipe I used. However some yahoo decided since he couldn't figure it out he would cut the wires. He then choose of re-wound reconnected them but making it easy for future cachers. I decided to collect it. I am working on a better way of making this work where it isn't easy to "short cut" the intent.
On the floating container. I placed one of these as a re-create in a multi. Since it consisted of coordinates only i used a plastic food coloring store for the container. I drop the brand but it is go with.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
