I have a trek 69'er and i swear by it for casual off road and pavement but diamond-back has some good bikes in your price range.....

the lb lol 7th st ,orange....the 405 and lb state... but i dont blame you, caching at night in LB

if ur waiting for the i-phone the 5th gen is coming out in a couple months it should be a big upgrade....

My new EDC knife is a spyderco navaja by Ed Schempp......great blade and makes noise....

i have family i am visiting in south Korea and japan...just getting the passports ready and then im off.....i'll have to hit you up.....

great question as i have been looking to create one for me....my hobby involves large tarantulas and other inverts and think a metal version would be insane but a little pricey to leave in every cache....i wouldnt mind a picture archive, a face to the treasure, now that would be kool!!!

My 1st cache was without a GPSr but my 2nd if i followed the map directions had me almost half a block away....kudos to you if you can do without but i dont think im that savvy and couldnt imagine caching without one....i think the urban caches could be done without but when roads arnt mapped im that guy and will get lost lol....have fun

yeah i almost got the magellan but i got the etrex for a good price, i looked at a bunch but think it does what it should and simple lol..

kool mate, yup newbies rock lol....its fun from another newbie

its me soo people can put a face to the name!!! and kinda see into the man wayne!!

thanks i was walking over several streets lol....well past 100ft , walked a couple streets over even, i think anything that helps get me within a football field is a bonus!!! lol....

Im new to caching so im not sure if my o pion on the subject matters but think the idea of being armed comes with it certain responsibilities...Unless you have drawn your firearm and the assaulter is outside the 21 ft protacal of effectively using your weapon does it matter much? I carry fulfilling my obligation of having a ccw but in close, as many cachers might find themselves a LLO like pepper spray or the like might be a more effective option but again having options is what it is all about anyway. I dont care either way but i also see many that do have ccw's, have an air about them that can be disturbing. you are taught with any good training to defuse, retreat and do everything in your power to make yourself (for a lack of a better word) a sissy and get away, yet i have seen many who do carry almost flaunt the fact they have a CW and act braver or chest popped out that to me invites confrontation instead of negate it. CC is not IMO courage in a bottle but a fulfillment of the 2nd amendment. The states where it most might be warranted dont even allow CC anyway, like where i grew up Los Angeles, calif. so yes carry if you need that added state of mind but not if you go out wanting to be made to use it.....just my 2cents

found my 1st cache and it was fun!!! i definitely see the advantage of having a GPSr as i didn't have one on this cache and walked all over!!

It can be. There are a number of cachers that use only a compass and maps to locate caches. Some have found literally thousands that way. koo, didnt it know that could be done..is there a tread that explains how they do it or is it a general knowledge kind of thing?

I would assume so since they document them on youtube!!!

the membership is after the GPS, i want to get a working knowledge of the cach only gps, plug and go kinda thing...I like sales to but when i go hunting i use the kiss method so i want to keep that same way of thinking with GPSr...wish it was a compass only thing lol thats my speed haha im an apple guy that loves low tech.....

trouble free tent that uses air beams is the nemo meta 2p tent....light weight and durable

Just know they are usually smaller then you think....the remora is tiny i'd suggest the noatak or the bigger sitka....roscoeBa on youtube does a great in-depth review also side by side comparisons of them...cant go wrong with either 3 but if you want the space and be able to load i'd step away from the gearslings and go falcon 2 or pygmy falcon 2, 1500ci and 2 straps so you can load them up or add hydration...

backtrack by Bushnell...god send

Maxpedition makes some great bags, i use a jumbo type s small enough as not to be cumbersome but big enough to carry your gear...unless your really trekking far, a hydration pack is not necessary..i have a couple camelbaks but i use them when im doing miles and away from a water source....

Komodo's are insane!!! more padding 2weeks of break in but a nice trail shoe.....they make a different sole for rougher trails, will build up your legs thats for sure....

man the target website has it for the 149...to bad though, thats a great deal... Yeah, I haven't had a chance to check my local target. I saw this deal at the Target in New Providence, NJ, last week while on work travel. (I personally took advantage of the Cabela's deal on an Oregon 450 for $249 yesterday, though.) to many functions for me haha..i need it to be simple to load and simple to use lol....i use a backtrack when out in the field soo yes i like simple...

man the target website has it for the 149...to bad though, thats a great deal...

Thanks everyone...i think the magella seems to be what im looking for since i want out of the box use and dont need to get lost with needing to find anything like extra cords or programs lol.....i was just worried since in the reviews, alot of people say its hard to get used to and understand right off the bat....
