Hide a spare house key in a fake rock

Been locked out of your house one too many times? Maybe it's time to think about hiding a spare key in your yard. Fake rock geocaches are the perfect solution. Luckily, lots of house keys are similar in size to logbooks and so fit perfectly.

2

Make a sanctuary for birds

These little wooden geocache cabins aren't just winter residences for geocaches. They're also a perfect resting spot for your winged friends. Hang one from a tree in your garden and replace the geocache with some birdseed. We'll call it a birdhouse!

3

These bottles become storage for tablets

Kids are always getting into your things. If your things include medicine, think about storing pill tablets in kid-proof containers like these.

4

Store precious rolls of film

Remember the days of 35mm film? If you know what that is, you probably have some rolls of film left...somewhere in your storage. Those could be memories you want to have developed and (gasp!) saved to your computer someday, so make sure you're storing them well. We recommend these handy cache canisters. They're a perfect fit!

5

Keep your matches dry

If you're going camping during this time of changing seasons, you might encounter a bit of rain. Because science, matches tend to light best when dry. Make sure they stay that way by storing them in these ideally-shaped containers.

6

Turn old lock-n-locks into food storage containers

Tired of spending all that money on single-use plastic bags and tinfoil? Try storing your delicious left-overs in your archived cache lock-n-lock containers. Because they're meant to keep logbooks dry, they typically have strong seals. They're also see-through (so that muggles know what's up), which makes it easy to see which food has gone bad, and which is still delicious.
