      Just wondering….why are they called this, anyway?

      (I found a bison tube in a pine tree once that was a bison tube stuck into a toy bison. Made me laugh out loud!)

      A bison tube is a small, metal, water-tight cylindrical container that can be used for micro-caches. These containers are usually small enough to fit on a keychain, and were originally designed to hold pills. The name is derived from the company which manufactures most of these types of tubes, Bison Designs.

      Available sizes include:

      2 3/8 x 5/8 in / 60 x 16 mm (Small)
      2 3/4 x 5/8 in / 70 x 16 mm (Large)
      2 x 3/4 in / 50 x 20 mm (Scuba Tank or Micro-Cache Capsule)
      3 x 1 in / 75 x 25 mm (Extra Large)
