Yeah, that is where I got mine from... It's a shirt I bought in Alaska. I have seen the "hide the bodies" one as well. I quite like that one, and have been known to quote it as well.

I have seen a variety of signature lines on the forums, and was curious what funny/unique/disturbing signature lines you have seen on these forums, or others. Other than mine, of course!

I look for the hollow log, the crotch of a tree, or the pile o' sticks/rocks/other natural object in unnatural positions

Thank you, e-mail sent. Only 4 years late, but those are awesome! I'd love instructions as well!

This is a Test. This is only a test.

Perhaps it does not fall into the category of "naughty", but I made the mistake of putting a compostable pen (made from corn starch!) into my cache for people to log with. What I did not count on was my cache getting wet inside, and causing the pen to begin to decompose (read: turn to mush ). It made everything slippery and nasty. Needless to say I pulled it out of the cache, and now just use them for myself. Now I don't feel quite so guilty when I drop one in the wilderness... Thought thinking about it now, I guess the pen would also go against the "No Food" guideline... Oops!

I'm 27, so not too far ahead of you.

I'm pretty durn sure that there is no precedent for a cache being archived by Groundspeak because someone other than the owner put religious items in a cache. I'm gonna say you're wrong too. Unless you know sumthin' I don't know and want to share..... Is it okay if I agree to disagree too? Sure, not a problem! I'm use to it. I'm a married man, after all! We're always wrong!

Really? Which guideline would that be? I'm offereing this handy linky to the contents guideline to save time. A cache page may not solicit, but there isn't anything about that in the contents guideline. I'm kinda impartial to finding religious tracts in caches. On the one hand, they are not going to influence my thoughts. On the other hand you have more fingers they provide excellent fair trading swag for my Sweet Potato tracts. I'm sure the rude and oppressive old-timers just knew it was a matter of time before that got posted. From the guidelines: Caches that Solicit Solicitations are off-limits. For example, caches perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted. Geocaching is supposed to be a light, fun activity, not a platform for an agenda. Sure, the cache itself may not be a platform for religious propaganda, but by placing religious material into the cache, you are now using the cache as a platform. To each their own. You choose to leave it in, then by all means, go for it. I will do what I feel is in keeping with the guidelines. Caches perceived "TO BE POSTED" for religious... Do you really not understand the difference here? Someone placing an item in my cache does not change what I, as the cache owner, placed the cache to be. I see this very quickly becoming ugly, and as such, this will be my last comment on this issue in here. I have my personal feelings regarding this subject, as do you, and there are just as many ideas as there are people. You do what you think is right, and I will do what I think is right. We can beat each other over the head for hours about this, and you know just as well as I do that l will not be able to change your mind, just as you will be unable to change mine. Shall we just agree to disagree and move on?

I just look for people walking around in circles, muttering under their breath, possibly with the occasional choice words or expletives escaping their lips from time to time... Perhaps with a fellow cachers name involved... "Gosh darn (insert cacher name here) and his stupid (insert loathed cache type here)!!"

I would suggest using a hard cardboard tube, similar to the kind that Pringles chips come in. Use the lid to push the glass shards into the can, and dump when you get home. If you're worried about the lid opening, then just use tape.

Unfortunately the desire for censorship runs deep in our society, especially when it comes to religion. I'm a Southern Baptist by personal choice, and a Chaplain of that church as a way to serve others, but I'm not about to tell anyone what I think they must believe. I wanted my kids to learn about all religions and choose what felt right to them, not take on religious beliefs that someone told them they'd go to hell for violating. In all five cases I am happy with their choices, mostly because they were their choices! As a Wiccan, I am always very pleased to find people out there who realize that there are more than one religion in the world. I am especially pleased when they allow their children to explore and learn about the various religions before they make a choice. As for religious material in caches, I say take them out. They are against the guidelines, and besides, they can get wet and become mush. Kinda nasty...

I had a similar experience with Duracell. I was working at a casino construction site as a security officer a number of years ago, and as such one of my most useful tools was my 3 C cell Mag-lite. I placed some new Duracell batteries into it, and a few weeks later found that the batteries had burst. I was unable to remove the batteries, since they had swollen so much, so I was unable to send them to Duracell. Even then, a week or so later, I received a cheque for the cost of a new Mag-lite and batteries. I love companies that stand by their product! Now, when I buy rechargeable batteries, they are always Duracell...

No worries, no snide marks from me! (I'm pretty new myself) I personally will log every visit that I have spent a reasonable amount of time on. There are times when I get to GZ, start looking, and have to leave 5 minutes later for one reason or another. In those cases, I do not log a DNF. If I have made an honest effort for a reasonable amount of them, then I looked, and did not find. That deserves a DNF.

I appreciate the advice, though I was in no way attempting to skirt the guidelines. I am fairly new, and am always learning. I appreciate the input from seasoned cachers.

I thought you were not permitted to bury the cache itself. I didn't realize that no digging of any kind was permitted... That blows my cache idea of a ground level trap door... Or does it?

I think it would be a pretty neat idea. I am a leader with the Fonthill Beaver colony, so I don't think that my kids would be old enough to really appreciate or understand caching. If you do decide to go through with it, do let me know, and I'll do what I can to help.

I am a Canadian cacher from Fonthill, ON in the Niagara region.

What are cheaters?

Jeeze, I hope not. They will think the world was run by obese children who only ate at McDonald's, and felt the need to hide their toys all over the place... But it's true! I'm not obese! I'm big boned... Like a elephant, or a hippo...

I intend to create a cache that a compass and tree identification book is needed in order to mathematically deduce the combination to the lock I will have on the cache. As my signature may perhaps lead you to believe, I feel that is it important to have a compass and a map when out in the field, and more importantly, KNOW how to use the bloody thing...
