  1. Hmmm... I believe in the Persian proverb Colin Fletcher likes to quote :"Fortune is infatuated with the prepared." As a backpacker and an ex-Girl Scout (as well as a worrier) with thousands of miles hiked, we carry: GPS with coords downloaded daypack with rain cover T.P. in a plastic bag first aid kit - mine own collection extra pens plastic garbage bags heater-seats (esp. when it's wet/cold out) bag of gorp bottle or two of water some light weight rope flashlight extra batteries for GPS and flashlight maps, if I have them printed out cache sheets (no decryptions, please) space blanket gloves, hats, scarves (if weather decides) bug repelent, but haven't used it in a long time bandana/kleenex swag, extra zip-loc bags, extra log book PLUS: a big dose of common sense and respect for the topography we will encounter If it is "civilized" and not backcountry: GPS, swag to stuff into pockets, printed out sheets
  2. I am getting ready to put out my first cache. (Should I be so excited? ) It is in what I'm guessing is a micro-cache container and I've put some good (and very thin) stuff in it. I am seriously considering telling people either take something and leave nothing until this is a true micro (only the logbook) or asking them to stay within the theme of the cache. (Ain't we too grand, I gotta theme going!!) What say you all?
