Usually I just wash the ammo box and let it dry. I then spray paint it with a dark green color and let it dry (works well around here). Then I use a plastic stencil I created to spray paint on some geocaching and contact info. Sometimes when I hide the container I wrap it in some camo nylon material I can get from the local fabric store fairly inexpensively. So far I haven't had any problems with the camo wrap going missing.

I have a belt clip for my GPSr and that goes on the right shoulder strap of my pack. I have a carbiner that clips the GPSr's lanyard to a lower point on the right shoulder strap in case for some reason it should pop out of the belt clip or in case I'm holding it and I drop it. When I have my digital camera with me (point-n-shoot type) I usually attach its case to the sternum strap so the camera is handy. Water goes in a hydration bladder inside my pack which I drink through the attached tube.

They help distract the muggles from what I'm really doing.

Ahhh, okay. Thanks for clarifying that!

I don't understand this at all. I've never had a conversation with a trail. Maybe if I was an excellent tracker or something the dirt might talk to me ... And thus spake Lord Bowler, "I can't help it. Dirt talks to me, Brisco," from the television show Brisco County Jr. Yes it's their property. I'm wondering why there are "Stay on the Trail" signs in those sections of the trail.

Thanks for the insight, Confucius' Cat. Rather disappointing to hear, but thanks!

I've never really had this problem on my caches, but if it did start occuring regularly I'd keep a form letter that I could use as a template to send the person a friendly e-mail asking them to change their log. I'd also include the text of their log in case I end up having to delete their log and they need to re-log it (correctly). If they didn't change their log after four weeks, I'd just go ahead and delete it. I suppose if I had hundreds of cache hides and there were hundreds of questionable logs things could get out of hand and annoying.

Hi hwyhobo, I'd love to hear what you think of your MYO XP once you've had some time to try it out.

Stick around. You have a lot to learn. Can you please expand on that some? I'd like to know what you mean by that. I've worked with several park directors around here and their "Stay on the Trail" signs along trail sections that pass through private property mean just what I said before, "You do not have permission to leave the trail in that section." They and local hiking clubs have worked darn hard to get permission to establish hiking/biking trails through private property and it would be a shame if these fine trails get closed because people can't be respectful of the property owners who graciously allow these public trails to cross their property. Many of these trails also have POSTED signs long the edges of the these trail sections for reinforcement of the "Stay on the Trail" message.

Hiya Boots... Exactly why I didn't make my personal geocoin trackable. I use it for trading, leaving as swag, giving away as prizes, etc. Tracking numbers didn't seem like a good investment for me -- others have had good luck with their coins traveling, so your mileage may vary. If you do have a personal geocoin made, I'll be very happy to trade with you!

Putting a container inside another container can help with the water/dampness problems. I ran a poker run event where the envelopes of cards for one of the caches were inside a freezer bag inside a small lock-n-lock container inside of a waterproof box that was submerged in a creek with a rock on top of it to keep it underwater -- stayed completely dry. Probably wouldn't work for a permenant cache, but it worked for the event. Not sure a film canister would be my first choice, but it is certainly better than just tossing the log book straight into the cache.

This sounds like the "caching buddy" has effectively adopted the cache because they're doing all the work to take care of the physical cache itself. The owner of the listing owns, well, the listing. The "caching buddy" may as well own the listing as well. I think. My mistake. What I meant was far an existing owner to personally tranfer ownership to a caching buddy, not just whoever will take it. Aye, you're definitely right there -- direct adoption is the current way to do it. Some sort of "adoption board" or optional inclusion in the weekly e-mail might be nice.

I'd think you'd want to speak with whoever is in charge of the college's facilities, buildings, and realestate. If a cache is approved for placement on campus I'd guess the campus police would need to be consulted/informed by whoever makes the decision. As was suggested, sit down with them in a face-to-face meeting and find out what they know about geocaching, fill in any gaps in their knowledge, address their concerns, etc.

Thanks for that info TotemLake.

Hmmm, maybe you were thinking of the DUO models. Those run on 4 AA batteries.

Hmmm, that's interesting being able to use the same light for flood as well as spot. Can't say as I've ever used a red light at night. I might have to find someone around here with one to see what it's like. I'm a big fan of the AA battery format for most of my devices. With regard to they MYO XP, the Petzl web site claims it runs on 3 AA batteries. Yours runs on 4 AA batteries?

I'm 6'3" tall in real-life and I play a 6'3" geocacher on the forums. My older Approach II fits me just fine. The length of the shoulder straps are adjustable (within limits of course) so the pack has a range of torso lengths it'll fit. Here's a decent basic page on torso length.

Heck, I carry a black powder flashlight... ...Great for searching at night, but it takes awhile to "reload" and carrying more than one's right out Lately I've been thinking of switching to this light...
