I recommend watching this video if you need help.

You're looking for a medium size camo covered container wedged into a tree. It would be perfect for trackers and for small tradables. Please make sure you seal the lid properly and place it back to where it is firmly wedged between the branches so it will stay put.

Please be sure to give a blue ribbon if you enjoyed this cache! Happy solving!
