Oops forgot to add I am going for a ‘baby/ new year’ theme for the cache which is why I was thinking about maybe not using ‘camo’ (would cover it and make it look less like a bottle…)
While it’s waterproof, many baby bottles will allow the passage of air, and therefore water vapor. If your bottle has it, I’d also include that little plastic disc that will seal off the mouth of the bottle as well, or use a dab of glue to completely seal up the hole in the nipple.
I see no reason not to use it. I’m more interested in the hunt to find it than what the container is. As long as there is a log sheet in it and it stays reasonably dry, go for it.
Do you think I should paint it?
Or just leave it as is and hide it?
I’m thinking if I don’t paint it and someone find it who doesn’t know what it is they’d probably leave it alone… (who wants an old baby bottle?)
Someone may pick it up for that reason…you’d be surprised. Then there’s the person who may think it is trash and toss it. I vote for painting it…cammo of any kind will make it blend. Once they find it…the connection will dawn on them. Unless you are hiding it somewhere where the container alone will be the cammo? Interested to see what happens….good luck.
I just did a cache this weekend that was a baby bottle! Of course it was in the desert! It does rain in Arizona but not very often. It was a clear see-through bottle. AZ just got done having flooding rains and everything was bone dry.
