Ok, so what you are saying is that the logbooks(which are made out of
paper, which disintegrates when it gets wet) should be in their own
plastic baggie? Is that what you are trying to get at? ;) I think
you might have been unclear.

Just kidding...and I completely agree. I have even found lock-and-
locks that have gotten moisture inside them, so the baggies are very
important. I hope everyone carries extra baggies with them when they
are out letterboxing - I do. I try to make sure when I leave a box
(especially if someone has used one of those cheapie disposable
containers) that the logbook is in one bag, the stamp is in another
bag, and both of those bags are in a third bag. This seems to help.

Right,
So it is the logbook we want dry then? (LOL) Actually , I do put mine in a baggie inside the box and then put the box in a big heavy duty baggie , just to be sure. I image over time my big baggie will get some holes though :)

This is known as the Letterbox Moisture Retention System (LeMoRS).
Since the outer baggies are guaranteed to tear, puncture or unseal
within days of planting, all the system does is ensure that any fluid
that reaches inside the baggie will remain in contact with the
letterbox into perpetuity, which is does with a near 100% performance
record....

Excuse me, what about the logbook? Shouldn't that be in a bag?

Did you say put the logbook in a bag?

Yes, but it is frustrating how often I go to check on a box that I did not have inside an outer bag and somebody has *kindly* placed it in an outer bag for me. This past weekend we checked in on about 8 letterboxes and 2 were found inside bags that should not have been. Several others were missing inside bags and/or had either the stamp or the logbook exposed and not in a baggie. One had no baggies in it at all. So where do these baggies go? I doubt that a critter came along looking for a spare baggie to bag his leftover lunch and nicely placed everything back inside my rubbermaid container after swiping the bag. No, more likely a *person* put it back like that... how can you put everything back into the container and not notice that you forgot the baggies?

Too funny!! I initially made the mistake of placing the first few
boxes I planted INSIDE a large bag, thinking it would protect them
better. WRONG!! Moisture retention is exactly what it does. In
addition, it makes it much easier for an animal to drag off and also
much more "visible" to a passing muggle. Once I realized this, I went
back and removed the outer "box bags" (and of course they were
punctured and retaining moisture).

Typical "newbie" error!

It's me. I must admit it. When I find a letterbox, I log in. Then I
eat the baggies! Bwaahaahaahaa!

Just kidding.

How do people forget the baggies? They get excited. They're with
several other people and are chatting and logging.

BUT I always look for the baggies when it's time to put it back!!!!

Also, for the habit of people putting the whole box in a bag (this
spells disaster in the rainy part of the Pacific NW): Mark your
baggies with "Logbook outer bag" "Logbook inner bag" "Rubber stamp
bag", etc. Might help those people realize anew, as CPAScott said so
wonderfully, it's the LOGBOOK we need to keep dry!

Wisconsin Hiker, at least when you realized your mistake, you went
back and rectified it!

Now, excuse me, I'm off to munch more baggies . . .

LeMoRS, LOL! I just found a 'box today, it was inside a baggie and I
was the first finder...the first find was a hole in the outer baggie!
Will it get wet and retain water? In the words of Paul
Prudhomme: "Ah Gar-U-ntee!" :p

I use baggies as a guide in finding the letterbox. I sometimes find the box
with a new baggie in it and the old one on the ground. Ut oh, is that giving
away too many locating hints???

You Turtles have the Super Duty Survive-nuclear- explosion containers! I love those things, where do you get them??>

Those are Lock & Locks from Target or Walmart (thus far). I love them. I did actually find one with the top on backwards; still snapped. And the inside bag not sealed. Fortunately I was right after her adding more Mystery Clue slips to that box. The box had the clue taped inside it (which was now outside and readable). Would have thought that would have been a hint. Busy area, probably trying to be quick! All 3 others in the series were perfect.

Pirates, if you come across any of my other Lock & Lock boxes, feel free to remove the "LeMoRS" for me. I'll replace any cheap containers as I go. I'm guilty of early outside bagging. And I did just find someone's LB with at least 2 inches of water inside. The box was perfectly dry and a gladware container. More shocked I couldn't have been!

Loving the topic; very educational!
