Hey guys, my other passion (which I combine with caching) is pathtag design & trading. I use pathtags for signature items in caches and to do trades with others. I'm creating a new series 4-5 tags on Caching Castrophies (it's been done before but I wanted to expand on it)....things that would happen to you while caching (besides losing a signal, falling, DNFs, regular stuff). Looking for something totally unusual and I knew ya'll could come up with some interesting ideas!

We have pathtags made for us. A design usually runs anywhere from $15-$35, depending on who does your design and it costs about $105-$110 to produce 50. Of course, the more you produce at one time, the cheaper it is. I like them because they have a tracking number on the back, just like a TB, but you log it on www.pathtags.com instead of the geocaching site. They are a lot of fun and there is a who community that also offers trades, so you can start your own collection. Prior to finding pathtags, I used business cards but those would get wet. I then went to self-made stickers, again those would get wet or yucky. Besides, I couldn't see where they went. Some interested party attached a TB to a pathtag and got a two-for-one deal on tracking It's all about the game!!! Have fun

I am so hint-dependent and I have a GPS that only gets me within 10-15 feet of the cache...so, a good hint is really necessary to eliminate me stomping all over the place. I also take into consideration difficulty, terrain, size of the cache, review all the past logs for any additional hints...and, oh, look at all the pictures BEFORE I decide that the hunt is really worth it. I know there are some paperless cachers...more power to you (I really admire you) and there are some experienced that just look at an area and immediately find the cache (don't you really HATE those people?), but for me, the more detailed the hint...the better the hunt.
