Know before you buy
No, this micro ammo can is not inherently waterproof. Because it is made of metal and lacks a rubber gasket seal, we recommend using Rite in the Rain paper for your logs to ensure they stay dry even if moisture gets inside.
Given its compact 1-inch by 1.75-inch dimensions, this container is best suited for small trackables, micro-sized SWAG, or a rolled-up log sheet. It is too small for standard-sized geocaching trade items.
The container features a functional latch system that keeps the lid securely closed during transport and placement. It provides a satisfying, sturdy snap, though it is not lockable.
Yes, the metal construction is quite sturdy and holds up well to the elements. While it isn't waterproof, the material itself is robust and won't crack or degrade like some plastic micro-containers when exposed to sun or cold.
No, this product is sold as the container only. You will need to provide your own log strip and a small writing implement, or simply use a pre-printed micro log.
