- Hello Merkin, I would think that a tight container would have limited oxygen, making the fire extinguish itself, kind like throwing a match into Mason jar with newspaper and closing the lid...... This probably be a good science experiment :) I don't think I ever seen a glass cache container, but that wouldn't say much either since I have not done much caching either. I would think the biggest concern is that it could break and somebody could get hurt.... Cheers !

I'd worry more about the sun's rays focusing on paper items in the bottle and starting a fire than I would worry about them getting waterlogged. Depending on the placement of the cache, it might not be an issue at all.... <snip> **************************************************************************** Our WebPage!
