My Geo Bag is a Versapak clone that has served me well, but it some situations, it is too bulky and unhandy to have dangling from my shoulder. While I was snooping around in another forum a thread about the Skinth popped up. There are several versions available, but the TrailBlazer looks like it was made for Geocaching.
It looks like it would hold a GPS, writing utensils, cache maintenance supplies and many of the little tools and gadgets that come in handy when caching. There many pictures of the TrailBlazer in the listing and some even show it with a match container and a pill fob in the pockets.
For the record, I am in no way associeated with the maker of the the Skinth.

My current frustration as a cache owner comes from my letterbox hybrids. People take the stamps and ink pads out of them. These items are in a separate baggie with "Do not remove stamp or ink pad from the cache" written on them.
I get mad then I cool down and replace them.

I buy mine at Meijer Stores, but they are only located in 5 states.

I don't know where else to post this, but all I want to know is why there isn't any love for BlackBerry users? I have logged all of my 52 cache finds on my black berry using the Groundspeak app, but it is not listed on the update. Just iphones and androids.
Where did you find a Groundspeak Blackberry app?

I have done a lot of caching in parks, but have never had someone approach me like that. Does that mean that I am unattractive?

There is a cacher in SW Michigan that is known for using leaky containers and not maintaining them. A few months ago he archived all his caches then re-listed them without even changing the logs. Many were still wet.
Mad more than a few people mad.
-
I usually drive to the general area then walk to the cache. Sometimes the walk lasts only a few feet, sometimes it lasts several miles.

GC17E0 The CO for this one is still very active and moves a lot of trackables.

The reason forum trolls are successful is because they work. Like a puppet-master pulling strings a good troll post is guaranteed to get the desired response. Don't take the bait.
A lesson that so many in here are slow to learn.

You were around before my time, but welcome back anyway.
What made you decide to get active again?

Most if not all of the people who found the final for GC26RHZ did not find the first stage.

I use the field notes feature in Cacheberry to log my visits immediately. If I want to record information for other purposes I use the notepad on my BlackBerry.

If you want a geocaching app that provides live geocaching data and that doesn't cost $40 per year, don't get the Blackberry. I have a BB and though I like cacheberry for looking at data from GSAK, I wish I could pull in live data and map multiple waypoints at once. The Trimble app is too expensive and it appears there is no traction for Groundspeak to create a BB app.
You can pull data and map multiple waypoints at once with Cacheberry. I do it often.

You have to look long and hard to come up with decent camo tape.
Most retailers stock only cheap copy tapes. They are shiny (what good is camo if it shines?), many are pretty darn stiff and want to unstick themselves -- because they use inferior adhesive.
I guess you get what you pay for. Nothing new there!
Krylon Camouflage Spray paint, and a couple of others, is really hard to beat.
Eliminating the glare, is the key to good camouflage.
I have to agree with Gitchee and Sweetlife. Camo paint is more versatile, provides a better result and lasts longer.

Last November, I went to Cancun, Mexico on vacation. I did not geocache there, but later when I got home, I realized there was a virtual cache at one of the places I visited (GC29B5). I have all of the logging requirements, but should I log it since I didn't go to Mexico with the inention of geocaching? What are your thoughts?
If you can meet the requirements then go ahead and log it. If the CO doesn't feel that you met the requirements they will tell you so.

42
Ok. Maybe I need to spend more time around a greater variety of people, but What does 42 mean and how does it apply to this topic?
Edited to express the complete thought

It seems a little ironic. Because of privacy concerns GC.com changed the guidelines for requiring photos to log EarthCaches. Then GC.com added the "like it" button that exposes the users to the privacy concerns associated with Facebook.
-
When I first saw THIS ONE on a log, I thought a muggle had found the cache and signed with a name that they thought would be cleverly offensive. But as you can see, its the name of an actual cacher.
My next guess was that he was a phlebotomist, but that doesn't appear to be correct either.

Geocachers look like something created by The Monty Pyton Flying Circus. Bluetooth users looks insane. Don´t know which is worse...
specially the ones that do it to look like they're important and they work at some burger joint. rofl.
Important people never go to burger joints?

Some very nice stuff already shown. Mine is pretty simple. It's about the size of a Scrabble tile, with a wood burned X on one side and my Sig Randco on the other. I clear coated them with polyurethane.
Mine is very similar

We are still getting them for caches in our Old School Caches series.
-
It is about geocachers who served.
What surprises me is that I haven't seen any replies from non US caching vets. No vets from Canada or the Ukraine or Turkey cache? Or have I just missed those posts. I admit I have not been reading every post.

I don't know much about him other than he is a member at the Multitool.org forums and he makes the Skinth bags along with making modifications to multitools.
