  1. Before I started caching I had two different Jeep Wranglers, and each one got broken into. Once while on vacation and once while in our town. The first Jeep, they nicely unzipped the window and opened the door, but they broke the locked storage ares to get to some CDs and sunglasses and other little things. In the second Jeep they sliced all the windows to get inside. After the second break in, I usually drove it with the doors off, but if they were on I wouldn't lock them, the glove box and any other "locking" things. I figured if they wanted something, I'd rather have them not slice it to get inside. Never had a problem after that. Maybe they figured if I was "stupid enough" to leave it unlocked there wasn't anything of value worth taking. My uncle had the doors stolen off his jeep when he left it unlocked. It's a no-win situation many times.
  2. One possible solution is to purchase the beanbag mount for the Garmin. It's easy to remove and hide, no suction cup ring either.
  3. Easily covered in the guidelines: "Caches that are buried. If a shovel, trowel or other "pointy" object is used to dig, whether in order to hide or to find the cache, then it is not appropriate" A stke is clearly a pointy object and in your case being used to hide a cache - so not allowed. What kind of container requires a support of that type anyway?? Stake was not used to dig. Stake did nothing to hide the cache. Stake did nothing to find the cache. Dang! I'm hungry.
  4. GPS companies don't care. GPS companies are in bed with the multi-national corporations; they are using technology recovered from the Roswell, NM UFO to track your every movement. They could not care less about how easy a GPSr is for you to use. The real purpose of a GPSr is to track you! But there is a simple solution: only use your GPSr when it is wrapped in tinfoil. That way, the gubment satellites can't reliably track you. Good luck and remember to backtrack using your own footprints. .
  5. Walmart appears have phased Lock & Locks out. I have seen the rubbermaid locking containers and the sterilite locking containers. I am currently using a sterilite locking container for my cache. Made in the USA for what it's worth.
  6. So how do the travel bugs log their miles in this situation?
  7. Obviously, I would explode a thermonuclear device to rid the world of the tainted cache.
  8. I introduce them to geoTaser. Never had a muggle say anything to me.
  9. A snack, selected from the group consisting of, peanuts, trailmix, and beef jerky. -HTS
  10. Set up an email filter rule. Automatically deletes his emails. Poof! Guy no longer exists. -Hitech Squirrel P.S. That'll be $150.
  11. I've been using an Etrex Vista C for about 3 years with the topographic map loaded in. If I had to purchase one today, I would purchase one with removable media (like microSD cards) because it is much better to load maps on a card and then just change the card as needed. I believe an Etrex Vista HCx fits that requirement. It is also much more sensitive than my old Vista so it can keep a GPS signal in deep foliage and near tall buildings.
  12. There is no way to tailor to find premium caches. However you can run a pocket query to select caches that are "For Members Only" which will display the Premium Members Only caches. (Premium Members Only cache are not necessarily any better than caches available to all users - so calling them premium would be incorrect). I was using shorthand by referring to them as premium caches. Referring to them as premium member caches or members-only caches becomes cumbersome when writing. I am familiar with the disclaimer about the quality of premium caches. Thanks for your response. Hitech Squirrel
  13. Can we tailor/filter searches to only premium caches? I'm new at the premium member level, but I'd think that a way to filter for these caches would help. -Hitech Squirrel
