HOME DEPOT FIND

[+mlplatt]

stopped by home depot today and on my way out I saw they had free water sample kits. grabbed a few as I thought they would be great to hold a log. they are made to be mailed with water in them, so they must be pretty water tight.

Are they the soft plastic, narrow-necked bottles?

They're made to ship out once-n-done, so not sure how they'd hold up sorta long-term outdoors.

Even though close by, unless well into the woods, I don't usually head to caches with similar containers.

If you're gonna try 'em out, please return after your product test.

Thanks !

As we have all learned from ill-fated ABS pipe caches, containers meant to hold water in aren't necessarily ideal for keeping water out.

Yeah...they probably turn brittle after long-term exposure. I saw that with a specimen jar cache I found. Things like that normally aren't meant to be handled multiple times.
