[Maintaining OTHER cacher's caches]

Leave the original log and goodies, but you can replace my container. In fact, if my cache in in poor shape please do fix it!!!

[Looking for a low budget signature item]

Look for places that provides those free little packs of sweeteners. Just grab a bunch and sign your name with a Sharpie.

 

Collectible and practical. Anyone can use them.

No food in caches. little animals will eat through your cache.

[What are some of the BEST swag item/items you have found?]

once i found a mini alarm clock with a neon light rim. Use alarm to get up for school every day.

[Attaching to concrete]

What you need is a Roto Hammer and a two part concrete epoxy. Drill 1" into the concrete using a 5/8" drill bit to place Bison tube just deep enough to leave the cap sticking out. Glue in place. All that is needed by finders is to unscrew the cap to retrieve the log, sign, and return log/cap.

You could gat arrested for defacing property. I think the original question included "without defacing property"

[Ammo can substitute.]

I've never used one, or found a cache in one, but a few people have mentioned here that they are not very good.

Almost half the caches I have found have been ammo boxes. they are water tight and work great.

[So. Cal. Hi-Desert Geocachers- Need Suggestions.]

Remember - these people like the outdoors. They like caming stuff. Containers for them to make their own caches are good. Also, things like T-shirts or walking sticks with the caching logo are good. Camping fishing hiking and hunting supplies could be other interests your costomers would like. Of course ice water and food is good. maybe even sell "cheap-ish" GPS's.

[Is there a secret greeting of cachers?]

I met one guy on the trail (FreakHazard) with the same GPS I had. We had just found the cache and he asked "Is that the cache" It didn't take a (My favorite phrase) "rocket surgen" to tell we were both geocachers.

[Are we allowing the degradation of geocaching?]

How can you tell if it is a false log? The fun is finding the cache - so why would someone want to make a false log?

[Pictures - Cool Cache Containers (CCC's)]

What are some awesome homemade caches. Can you give instructions as to how to make them?

I have heard of a film canister with wood to make it look just like a real pinecone.

[Is Geocaching possibly the most expensive sport/hobby to get into]

I am in junior high and can easily afford it. I ride my bike, have a cheap ($60) gps that works, use tupperware for the caches, the goodies I use are things I have at home like marti gras beads and small toys. You can buy a mini notebok for 30 cents. It costs a dollar to make a cache, and it's free to find them.

HOW COULD YOU THINK IT IS EXPENSIVE?

[A really good hide]

I'm sure this has been discussed, but what are some incredibly hard finds....possibly the hardest.

[Anyone else have a problem with Micro's]

I haven't been caching very long but I have had problems finding micro's, and actually have never found one. I love larger caches. This doesn't mean other people don't love micro's, and hate large ones. whatever float your boat.
