Travel Bugs® with Room for Luggage
Groundspeak's Lost & FoundThere is a new type of Travel Bug trackable in town, and it's got room to spare! The Travel Bug Backpacker clips onto a traditional 35mm film canister (not included) so that geocachers can place a logsheet, a description of the Travel Bug's goal or other small items inside the container. The Backpacker features the Travel Bug logo and comes with a copy tag carrying your unique tracking number. Worried about finding 35mm film canisters? Most stores that process film offer the canisters for free.

...but can you trust this to stay on the container and not get lost? I'd much prefer a better lid type, like maybe the child-proof medicine caps.

Anyone planning on getting one?

I like to see one in hand before I spend $10 on one!   Sounds like something will get lost or stolen easily.

Anything trackable is subject to getting lost. So does the other swag -- you just don't know about it :)

Seems like I could just buy a $4.50 tag, find a film can for free, attach whatever else I wanted, and accomplish the same concept.

I've seen bugs with small notebooks and the like attached, whose goal involved collecting either quotes, poetry, sketches, something like that. Just the normal tag, printed bug sheet, and other items in a zip-loc.

Yeah, I'm not sure how well this one will take off.

One of those TBs-attached-to-a-notebook was at the WWFM event a couple weeks ago.

You can also put TBs on purple shirts and since vehicle TBs aren't special (they should be), you can put one on your car however you want to. You can get a tattoo placed on your forehead if you want.
