I have used a Leatherman, Gerber, Swiss Army Knife, as well as a Buck, but I prefer the Gerber to them all. The only drawback I have is when the knife blade is locked, the blade faces in not out. This does not allow you to cut something flush like the Leatherman does.

Nothing gets in the way of me and geocaching. I just plan my day a little better to be able to cover a tighter area instead of roaming around from place to place. Havnt really thought about it at all.

I try to get friends to come over to the Dark Side, but my wife always gets to them first...and you can pretty much figure out the rest.

My wife just read some of these posts and I think the W.A.G. has just grown to 3 members.

If there's a hint, I'm gonna read it. More times than not I have hiked or biked way out of the way where if I decrypted the hint, a quicker parking spot could have been found.

Most of the time it is me, myself and I. I would prefer it that way anyhow. Sometimes (and it is very rare) my wife will come with me, and sometimes my kids (2 and 5) come with me. We all tend to go for the easy ones. They get so excited when finding them it is worth it. On vacation, we tend to all go for the locationless ones. Sometimes these are harder to find than some actual caches.

In the MY0581 logs someone noted this USGS mark on the ticket counter on the inside of the Boston Museum of Science. Not sure if it qualifies, but I have seen the mark as well.

I would and have done all to grab a cache. Almost died in Arizona going for a DNF. Some people just need to know their limitations (like I dont).

Why dont you just move your cache a little bit under better cover?

I just found a cache in Ohio that was a thermos with a floor tile tied to it for weight, and then tied to a tree on the bank with rope. The coordinates were for the middle of the river and once you "found" the rope, you reeled it in, logged the cache and then threw it back out to sink in the middle of the river. Pretty clever cache if you ask me.

If I come upon a TB hotel and there were a few TB's in in, and I could help every one along, guess what, the TB's are in my pocket and on thier way. I would want one to do it for one of my TB's. It isnt for the cache owner to hold my TB hostage just because they want a specific number in the cache.

In the grand scheme of things...who cares. If I find it I log it; be it in a cache, or at an event. If I was given the opportunity to hold a bunch of WJTB's before distributing them, I would be stupid to not log them as found.

Porcupine Head has 16,328 miles on it since 1/26/05. I have yet to update the miles from last year. It would probably double it. I do not log locationless caches with it.

I hate to say it, but chalk it up to a rookie mistake. Always read past logs. Yes the cacher didnt "properly" do it, but they at least wrote it in the log for all to read. You can bet as well, that if a few people have visited the cache since a WJTB has been placed, it is gone, no matter what you see on the site.

well said caseyb

I am not a big fan of puzzle caches. I hate them actually. Unfortunately, tharagleb lives in the same town as me and his caches GLARE at me when I look at my cache list. I do puzzle caches when I really have to, but I try to avoid them if I can.

Not sure how you are going to keep someone from finding caches thunderbird30. Even if barred from geocaching, they obviously know what they are doing and if banned, could make it even worse for others.

That's funny mudbone! I know I said I would not get offended before, but I wouldnt be too happy to find dirty underwear in a cache. You might laugh, but I did find a bunch of dirty diapers close to a cache in the middle of nowhere in Arizona, a recently slaughtered deer (and I mean VERY recent) in Oklahoma, and many (I mean lots) of rubbers near a cache in Vermont. Some guys get all the luck.

Welcome to the club! If you think an easy one is fun, wait till you figure out a difficult one after a long hike!

You want to put them in a cache then do it. Nothing against you, but why do some people need validation on things like this? Would you still did it if everyone said no? I would.

I have found FTF prizes, and being the FTF is the prize. Either way it is your cache, and you can do as you see fit. I might mention there is a prize, but I wouldnt tell what it is.

The answer is yes.

Can't we all just get along.
