I realize a gps will only get you to within X number of feet of the true coordinates, but if I make a waypoint and later that day or that week, return to that position will my gps show that exact location?
Just curious.
I've tried that a few times and no, the gizmo never takes me to the exact spot. Of course, the numbers on the screen are the same but the physical location isn't. Close but no ceeeegggaaarrr.
Why don't you give it a try yourself? Get satellite lock in front of your house in the morning and waypoint it. Then later that day, go to the coords on the gizmo and see what happens.
You'd think that it would do it but I have never been able to get it to do that.
Holy carp! The team has posted helpful advice! Keep it up Cotati!

I did that on my first hide. I now write the coords down on paper as a backup.
Of course I have lost that piece of paper once also...

I can probably draw you up a schematic later if no one else does but I would use an outdoor junction box, single throw outdoor DC switches and a servo as you already thought of.
Good idea. I may steal borrow it if you don't mind.
edited to say that bittsen obviously has faster fingers than I.

I have been searching the area for some time now. I just can't find it. I was thinking of using a metal detector to find it. I am thinking maybe it was muggled?
Cheating seems to be a vague area, seems to me anyway. There's no rule against it, you are the only one who would know, could you sleep at night knowing? For me, it would take away the fun of the hunt. Play the game you want to play.
I fail to see how it could be considered cheating or take away from the fun of the hunt.
A metal detector is a tool just the same as a GPS'r or a compass is.
I'm not saying it should be used right away on every hide but I see no problem in using it.

If the area is a place where transients and gangbangers hang out, why is it such a good place.
Is there a great view or something historic?
Not trying to be snarky. Just wondering what makes it a special place.

It's hard to tell but it's a bird that's about 4.5 inches tall. I think it's supposed to be a nesting grouse.
What's it made of?
Right now, clay.
I will kiln fire it tomorrow. It will "technically" be ceramic when its done. I made it extra thick so it can handle being dropped in the forest where it will be placed (away from rocks).
I'm thinking it will live in a nest, on the ground.
Neat. Post a photo when in place. I have thought of doing something similar.

I heard there are more submarines at the West Edmonton Mall than in the entire Canadian Navy.
Really?
And how could that occur?
I would think if you had the sense "god" gave you, that you would walk away from this thread.

Ok.... off topic
Sorry bout that.
-
Good thing. Did you like it here? And more importantly... have you seen the stupid billboards about Alberta in Portland?
And this has gone way off topic.
Bitsen loves my hometown... 4wheel fool hasn't a clue but ammo cans vary in price from location to location.

Oh great... now you are giving out military secrets...
It's not really a secret. They told me that when I was boarding the submarine in the mall.
You have been or are here?

They most likely cost more in Canada because they are American ammo cans. Does the Canadian military have their own ammo cans? Does Canada actually have a military?
Why would you ask such an insulting thing?
And it shows your ignorance of world history.
I had little respect for you before and even less now.
Relax, the comment was from watching too much South Park.
No, I will not relax. You made a foolish comment and to justify it by saying it was from watching too much south park is not an excuse for your comment. Next you will be saying it was OK because you used a smiley.
Dunno bout you but I don't ridicule countries based on a cartoon.
I have friends and family that have died along side of American soldiers in battle.
You certainly stand up to your name.

Yes, and no. I do think that $16.50 (Canadian) is exorbitant compared to what we usually pay, but (and do NOT let this leak outside of this forum) I really think that even $16.50 is pretty darned cheap for such a well made piece of hardware these days.YIKES!I thought $8.50 was exorbitant.
You appear to have a problem with your eye. Better get it checked out before you lose a limb.

Interesting a moderator closed another thread because someone called someone else a jerk. Here the word is used in the title and the topic goes on and on.
Maybe because it wasn't aimed at any specific person or group of people. Just guessing.
-
are ammo cans legal to carry over the border?
Try it. And let us know how it goes and remember to post photos.
LOL.
I honestly would not try it. I might try emailing the border authority and asking them how to do it without a cavity search first. It could be done.
I certainly wouldn't try to hide the ammo can to get it across the border (not suggesting you would).
Go to the source. Ask them.
-
Just be careful that you don't make it an agenda. That might be a little difficult. I'd bounce your ideas (in detail) off your reviewer before putting a lot of other energy into it. Aside from that, it might be a "slick" cache.
So says the king of bad puns...

Dear Moderators,
Please deliver this thread from the clutches of interweb tough-guy thinly veiled threats of physical damage to other humans.
Seriously, what are you people, 14?
I am a very mild mannered guy. I would never harm anyone I have had arguments with on the interweb.
I do know people that are not as I.
On the other hand.. would I tell anyone about it? or would I just say what I just did?
It's always the quiet ones you gotta watch out for.

Given that the case will be dismissed unless he slips up, it's likely he'll be able to get the offense expunged from his record entirely, leaving no trace of the whole incident.
Lesson learned: it's not worth the trouble to report a stolen/vandalized cache to law enforcement, period.
That last bit isn't true! Repak isn't going to jail, he isn't paying a fine, and his record will be expunged. But his name was still in the newspaper, his neighbors know he is a thief, and most important of all: he stopped stealing caches.
And he had to pay a Lawyer (yes I ...ahh..nm...) a lot of money.
That should also count as punishment.
-
I can't see a problem. As long as it follows the guidelines and is something worth seeing and perhaps reading about.
(almost typed guidolines. Just watched a bit of Jersey shore)

They do seem a little pricier here in Canada. The cheapest I have seen a 30 cal for was 11 bucks.
They are also not as easy to come by here.

I overheard an army navy store owner say to someone, you can easily liven up the rubber seals on your ammo cans (or anything for that matter) with some Vaseline, just smear it on the rubber seal and in a few hours your old cracked dry seal is good as new,
any other good tips?
I thought you said you were leaving Geocaching?
Scubasonic
Let it go. You are becoming as bad as him.

no, sadly... he isn't."so this thread is dedicated to those topics that really annoy the forum frequents."YOU are by far the most frequent forum poster!
HAHAHA I saw that but I was letting it slide out of respect.

That is truly evil. What level of difficulty did you rate it?
