[One handed opening tool]

Although most of my friends and caching partners are tools, I occasionally go out alone, and I'm pretty proficient at using other body parts for leverage, I just came across one the other day that I had to use my mouth to help open. I didn't think of the baggie condom idea, that is a good thought. I'm looking more for an assist holding the tubes, so I can twist them with my good hand. Thanks for the ideas, keep them coming.

 

harbor frieght has a quick acting clamp for about 6-7 bucks once it is in the tool you can hold that with a foot and use your hand to open. Tim

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS and Technology forum.

 

 

Sorry if I put it in the wrong place. Tim

[What should I do buy a GPS now or wait]

I have been trying to decide if I should buy an Garmin 60 csx or maybe wait for the new etrex 20 I am thinking around $200.00 and both are within that price range they both have pros and cons the 20 has paperless caching and long battery life but the 60 csx has a compass and barameter and is well proven. What do you think? I presently use a Garmin Personal 12 GPS. Tim

[Garmin Map60Cx]

Excellent condition.

Located in San Francisco Bay area. Prefer that a buyer picks-up the unit, rather than shipping the unit.

If it must be shipped, add $15 for insured sign-for-delivery shipping within the US.

Garmin bicycle mount is included in the sale.

 

$150. Price is firm.

 

how old is the unit?

[Delorme PN-60W GPS w/SPOT Communicator]

I am instrested PM me!!!!

[I found the DeLorme Coin Vault and learned how to text message via GPS]

I was just looking at this on Amazon it is a truly unique ideal and I love it but I don't see me using it unless I start to become a hardcore hiker. I am thinkiing of getting the delorme PN-60 for the map layering. Tim

[Oh, The things we do to complete TB missions]

I was caching today and found one that had been dropped off by someone from france who wants it to visit a bunch of states so I am taking it from KY to my Home in FL. I just brought one from FL to Chicago it's not going to move if I don't move them. T2

[Flashlight]

Ok, found a lot of different flashlights while out shopping at Harbor Freight. What I want to know is what would be the procedure to waterproof a flashlight? I got a couple of the ones they give out for free at Harbor Freight and looking to either make them waterproof or at least take a lot longer for the water to get inside. This way if the flashlight dies or I loose it I am not out $40 or more.

 

I would use Silicone grease on all the moveable parts I have used a Mag light Scuba diving to 40 Ft with just Silicone grease on all moveable parts. Tim

[Need little Help Near Chicago, IL (Glenview area)]

I picked up a trackable Geocoin in Tallahassee, FL and wanted to drop it off here in the Chicago area since I am on a business trip. Seeing all the snow and not having winter boots has made me rethink this. Would someone like to meet me here at the hotel or somewhere else and take posession of it and drop it in a cache here in the area? If you are instrested you can message me. Thanks Hutch

[WTB: Inexpensive beginners GPS.]

I am currently using my blackberry phone, but it turns out, it"s pretty inaccurate and hard to read. I would like to find one for around the $50 price range (Including shipping to get it to me). Let me know if you have anything available like that.

 

Thanks!

 

I found a Garmin GPS 12 on Craigs list for 25 dollars there is one list on the Tallahassee craigs list for 50 dollars but if you offered him less he might take it Tim

[Flashlight]

I found one at Walmart for 5 bucks it is made of aluminium waterproof and glows in the dark for 5 bucks I don't care too much if it gets dropped in the drink and it has 9 LED's uses 3 AAA batteries.
