I'm still new and havent hidden a cache yet, but i have one that i am in progress of building, i've put "survivor bracelets" in it aswell as some necklaces i made, i have a travelbug thats going to go in it and of course the logbook and pen/pencil.

now heres a realated question, for those who oppose if the cache is on church grounds and obviously owned by a church memeber what would you think of religious swag?? or if the description stated it was a religious cache...much like there are certain caches that have a haloween theme, or a pirate theme??

is there a poll option on these discussions...it be interesting to know the range of religions responding to this thread

i like that i stick to the geocaching is an all age event, and i feel there shouldnt be religious items as its the parents job to teach religion to the child. saying that i know i would be extatic finding certain religious items, like the dream catchers and tibetan prayer flags that were mentioned before.

Ah, there it is. This sentiment is as inevitable as this topic (I swear it was yesterday I was thinking it hadn't come up in a few months). Please do a search of the forums and see how many complaints you find about non-Christian religious items being left in cache. You won't find many, and I doubt any. You might try to argue that no one leaves anything but Christian items, but that is false. I can tell you for a fact that I have seen -- and traded for -- Tibetan prayer flags and dreamcatchers. I'm not sure I'd even notice if I came across a pentagram. not saying it doesnt happen, just that it seems to be the one noticed most outside of geocaching, i find so many religious paraphenalia in my grocery store, at the local mall, at my school and many other places, but nearly never any other religion, hristian items seem to be the ones that cause controversy. maybe geocachers are more open then general public, and if so i am very happy

i was thinking the other day thst if i owned a buisness i would have a cache linked to the buisness...on the property, and then have 10%off coupons in it. i dont agree with advertising in caches ither but if a buisness owns it thats a bit difference

ya it always seems to be christian things left, i work in a grocery store and commonly we find christian paraphenalia in the public washrooms but never any other religions next time maybe a pentagram should be left, that would cause alot of controversy compaired to a cross

If the cache is on a churches property (with permission and all that jazz) I see it as perfectly exceptable, but like said before I see it also as advertising otherwise., besides its supposed to be for all ages, and I believe you shouldn't promote religion to children......that's the parents responsibility, not all cashers are christian, or jewish, or muslim, or catholic, or wiccan, or buddhist, or native american, or pagan, or, or, or, so unless its on religious property leave it out

wonderfull....thanks

Im new to geocaching and ordered travel bug tags from the net, now i recieved 2 tags, one is a copy, when i place the travelbug to i put both tags on it, the origional and the copy or just the origional and keep the copie?
