Newbie as of 5/17. I’ve came across a few geocaches where either the container, the bag containing the log, and/or the log itself are broken, torn, etc. If I had extra paper, tiny plastic bags, and/or containers (say, empty medicine bottles) on hand, is it ok to use them to help preserve the geocache? I have replaced a bag for the log once because the geocache was inside a wet tree cavity and the bag was no good. Then I saw a comment somewhere in this sub recently that it is absolutely not okay to do things like that.
