Yep, #2 is what I meant.

Thanks for all the chuckles and info!

"> I guess it would be pretty obvious if you placed it in someone
else's box, but what if one wanted to start one in their own box? Is
that legit?
Assume the zen lotus position and chant along with me - "there are no
rules...there are no rules...there are no rules..." ;-)
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, but I have two
interpretations:
1. You want to start a HH with its *own* plastic (or whatever) box?
Size is the issue here again. I've seen lots of HHs in their own
box, sometimes a microbox inside a film canister, sometimes in a
sandwich sized rubbermaid container. It is doable (heck,
letterboxers are pretty creative folks), but the challenge is where
to replant it. Depending on where you hunt for LBs, there may be
plenty of room in the hiding spot for the original LB and the extra
container HH. Or not. But like I said, we like challenges!
2. You want to launch a HH in one of your own established permanent
letterboxes. Heck, I do that all the time! In fact, I made a
deliberate choice of location for one particular permanent LB of mine
that is a hitchhiker magnet because the hiding place could hold three
normal sized letterboxes! A few more of my permanent boxes have the
larger type of container (rectangular) so they can accommodate even
the larger 3X5 logbook type HH. (Okay, okay, I confess - I made
these special larger hiding places/larger containers on purpose
because I found myself carrying around larger sized HHs for weeks on
end (tsk! tsk!) because in my travels I could not find a place to
replant them. So now I have a failsafe - if all else fails, I
replant the larger HHs in these larger LBs of my own. Okay, my
secret is out!)
I hope this post has made you laugh, given you some tips, reinforced
the "there are no rules" philosophy, and given you the boost to "go
for it".
Happy boxing,
