Tylers883

Thank you. Those are all good reasons to abandon the idea and/or difficult issues to overcome, yet the basic idea is appealing to me. Perhaps the thing that matters is not the items in the cache....Perhaps the overnight stay at the specific location is the way to make this fun for those that go.... and the cache needs to be more traditional.

thank you, always an excellent point. :-) I started there, thus I was aware of the family friendly requirement before starting this thread.

Ok, after reading this thread, knives are definitely out of the question. I'll add a plastic knife, or nothing at all. What about matches? The rules says 'family friendly',,,,,,, will matches in a child proof pill bottle qualify? or what about a fire by friction device?

this one is tough because 10 essentials inevitably leads to knives and matches.

I have an idea for my first hide, can you give me any insight on how to do this where I don't violate any basic principles of geocaching? I would like to create an ammo can cache with the theme of " Scouts 10 essentials for camping" I'd encourage people to pack their own 10 essentials, come on out, find the cache and stay one night camping with the 10 essentials. hopefully they would trade some of their 10 essentials with the ones in the cache. I think the log would really draw out some interesting comments from people with different views.

My name is Tyler and 883 is a low tech emoji for my four-eyed mustached face. ( or it could be the harley sportster that I used to own)
