I have finally made two Trash Collecting Hitchhikers. What's that
you say? It's two 35mm film
canisters glued end to end and secured with packing tape. A log
book and small stamp fit in one end and a Wal-Mart sized shopping
bag goes into the other. It's a tight fit, but you really can
squeeze that thing in there.
It works like this- You find it in a regular letterbox and treat it
like a regular Hitchhiker, making all the appropriate stampings.
Then you remove the bag and collect any trash you find along the way
back from the box. Dispose of the trash at your earliest
convenience and place a new bag into the Hitchhiker before placing
the whole thing in another Letterbox.
Not only are you prettying up the places we go to, but you get a (F)
ind out of it.
I've made two so far and will be placing them soon. If you're going
to make a hithhiker anyway, I ask that you give this a try.

ps- I've posted this on other groups too, but I want to get this
idea out there. Please don't yell at me.

Why would anyone yell at you? Because you posted a good idea in
more than one place? Some people have no class.
I think this is a WONDERFUL (sorry for yelling) idea! I've been
planning a HH, and will include this idea with it.

Just a suggestion... Could you fit a disposable latex glove in there too? : )

****If anyone decides to add a glove to the bag in these wonderful
HH's, may I please suggest a *non-latex* disposable glove. Some people
are allergic to latex and could have an anaphylactic reaction. They
may not expect that a (latex) glove is in a HH and have a very scary
surprise.***
Thanks!

I have tried that, but no, it won't fit. Once the bag is in there,
there's no room for anything else. Maybe if a smaller bag is used,
you could stick one of those plastic 'hair dye' gloves in there with
it. They're pretty thin.
I agree with Mumma, latex should not be used.
