I won't reveal the particular cache number, but one of them has some heavy bark texturing and some artificial greenery attached to it. They hold a logbook roll and a golf pencil nicely.</p> I did some work on them for camo purposes, yes.

These are rebadged bottle parisons...the things the eventually get blow-molded into soda bottles, water bottles and the like. It's incredible that they get so much money for these, considering what they are. The cap is nifty, a nice touch. The cap would be great for putting on drink bottles to connect them via carabiner to a pack, though. I could see these making a neat travel pill-case, nice and watertight. I wouldn't mind getting one for that purpose.</p> I’ve seen these. These are rebadged bottle parisons…the things the eventually get blow-molded into soda bottles, water bottles and the like.
