Ko SprueOne Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 oh wow, I forgot about this. Glad my email bone is connected to my forums bone and my computer bone is connected to my interwebs bone... Yeah Rad man. Describe all the contents in your bottles that are not already obvious in the pictures. I'd like to send out a few of my own again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolled up flyers for an upcoming gig we were promoting. The flyer read, "free acid and weed if you bring this flyer" at the bottom. Then paraffin waxed them like you did. I was concerned with getting them past the surf so I went to the end of the fishing pier and threw them as far as I could in the three directions. No one showed up holding a flyer so I don't know if anyone ever found it. For your intentions, have you looked into any type of propelled bottles? If you have a way to get them past the surf and drop/place them into the water? A sort of setup like this: https://www.solarmade.com/store/product/sbb-3 I love the idea of the double bottle with propeller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to use 'antique' bottles picked from the RR but slim pickings this time around so no go there. Had planned to use some pint sized whisky bottles that came with corks when I found the apple juice bottles and went with it. Short + wide = easier retrieval of contents. Plus they're perfect for throwing, reminds me of Green Goblin/Hobgoblin bombs. Both juice bottles have a sketch and a $2 bill, one has a small seashell added and another has a $1 coin. Lolz, the jar contains a dollar to entice the opener, plus a fart. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 @Ko SprueOne if you tried this again what would you put in them? Was thinking of this the other day and had the thought that in your case it would be cool if it was a model, like a ship or sub, or a creature from the deep.

Going to give it a go again in a few months, will be staying against open ocean with plenty of time to fuck with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh man, apologies for the lag time in reply... if you tried this again what would you put in them? Yeah, a model would be interesting. Maybe a skeleton in an astronaut suit with a note with tiny writing on it. "Splash down in ocean significantly off target of designated pick up zone. Still waiting for rescue. No confirmation if this is the correct planet... " or something like that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ko SprueOne Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I just remembered a film we watched in school and found it on YooToob. Check it out when you have 30 minutes. Not a MIAB but also a purpose created object to journey through the wild on it's own to the sea.
