How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
I'm getting ready to take an inventory of my own caches ready to go out, and I just wondered...how many containers and of what type do you keep and how many?
To keep interest in all our boring lives you could list them in the categories
magnetic keyholder/candy tin
35 mm/pill bottle/matchstick
nano (magneto/nitro/bison)
beach tube/hangers
loc n loc
ammo can
fake out
other (describe)

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
1-large ammo can
5-small plastic/metal mint containers
too many hide a key container than I feel comfortable admitting to. A secret contianer or two that I will not describe.

zero
I believe in the "just in time" inventory model.

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
Someday. if you are nice, I'll let you see the Good Dog cache cave. If I ever get it organized after the move. I have so much crap I can't get the car in the garage, but I guarantee the car won't sit out this winter. Even if I have to get a dumpster or hold a cache garage sale.

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
pre made caches make great door prizes. If you give them away in the winter...will they be in a black plastic trash bag?!?

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
I only have one or two, but I don't usually think to bring them out of the house (which is why they haven't been hidden yet).
How large is your cache of caches? The question gave me an idea, but a quick search for "Cache Cache" listed 30 hides. This is making my head hurt.

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
I had quite a few matchstick and 35mm containers made up, but have replaced 5 or 6 that were either MIA or damaged in the past couple of months as I was out caching. Thanks for reminding me...I need to make up a few more
I have 3 ammo cans and 5 loc n loc's made up ready to go.
We have a ready made cache doorprize at our meet n' greets. So yeah...I guess I ALWAYS have at least 1 on hand. LOL.

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
I usually don't have any pre-made and ready to go, but I have probably 5 or 6 Lock and Locks and an ammo can waiting to be cammo'd and tossed into the woods.

Re: How many pre-made containers do you keep on hand...
I just finished organizing the geo-cave after a move and 2 years procrastination.
I have:
109 containers of various sizes that are ready to be populated,
9 containers ready to go
4 shoe boxes of swag
32 precut log books
12 larger notebooks ready to be cut into log books
lots of bungee cords
Plus all the various crap needed to build and stock a cache.
I also have 5 shoeboxes of sig items. Lots of it from way back in the stone age of geocaching. It's pretty funny asking "what ever happened to"
I think I'll probably retire from geocaching before I use all this stuff.
