If the only reason is for the cache, then find a better spot."

The Challenge of Using Plastic Ammo Cans in the Woods

Plastic ammo cans have been increasing in use for geocaching containers for a few years now.  They are now commonly available at many retail stores and on-line.  Many of them have issues with leakage and condensation, but the plastic itself is a challenge for use as a container.  We have seen the results of ammo cans chewed by porcupine and ripped apart by bears.  While these are easy to find and cheap to buy, they are not a great substitute for steel cans.  The images below are from one afternoon of caching in Shinglehouse at a Pennsylvania State Game Land.
