What flashlight do you take caching?
mylt1 replied to ras_oscar's topic in General geocaching topics
hands down one of the best light makers out there. https://www.fenix-store.com/ -
just because the coin or bug isnt there doesnt mean its been pirated, the person that took it just may not have logged it yet. what caches are missing coins/bugs?
-
either transfer it to the sd card and try to run it from there OR, sync the palm, then with it still connected try to run the install program on your PC.

Is that a recent change? I have a smartphone and shut off the data plan. WiFi is enough for me. It shut down my multimedia texting though. That I miss. This is on Verizon. yes, that was also one of the Jan 01 changes. i have a 6800(titan) pre jan with no data but bought the TP after and HAD to have data. if you werent gettig your pix(MMS) messages you should have called and complained to VZN. MMS has nothing to do with the internet service and they know that but wont fix it unless you call and b^tch about it.
-
Watch the data plan. They tend to cap the data and charge more if you exceed whatever cap they give you. Something like an iPhone which I think (emphasis on the not 100% sure part of 'think') has an unlimited data play may work better. If you won't exceed the cap, you would probably be good to go. Intel also has WiMax out now that you should look at for one of your options. verizon's data is now unlimited for $29.99/mo if you want tethering its an extra $15 but i think there is a bypass on that for both the BB and the WM phones. i know for a fact it is on the WM phones.

Food for thought,I can get a blackberry fairly cheap if I renew my verizon contract.What is their latest model? the newest model is the Storm. i would still point you twards a winmo phone. it does all a blackberry does and probably a lot more. having the Touch Pro, i have phone, internet, and GPS in one device, plus any slew of games and apps that are free. i would have to look into the blackberry but does it have a stand alone integrated GPS chip or is it just using aGPS?
-
no. does your GPS have a browse map feature? if it does, just browse the map to where the cache should be. if its there your good, if not try and reload it.
-
if your going with verizon, why not just pick up a HTC Touch Pro which is a winmo phone with a built in GPS and it has internet. no need to buy a laptop and a wireless plan.

instead of doing a normal caching style fund raiser why not try something like a gps poker run? that would take Groundspeak out of it and give you more options. anyone that rides knows what a poker run is and the usual entrance fee is $5-10 depending on what your giving away as prizes then of course you charge for second and third hands. get some local businesses to sponsor you with either a donation of money or prizes. the way it works. set up your "dealers" at different locations either around the city/county then log each one with the cords. when its time to start you give out a flier with the cords and they head out. you could do this on foot if your in a city, or by bike or motorcycle. you would be surprised at the turnout you would have in early spring with bikers that have been cooped up all winter.

I'm assuming you mean silicone lubricant and not silicone sealant...? yeah, sorry bout that. silicone spray lube. if you dont want to get it all over the place you can just remove the seals, spray and put them back on. since you should be removing them anyways before you pain the cans.
-
edit, i see what your talking about. you mean like the sat track on goldeneye? thats a tough one but maybe there is a pic of that actual scene from the movie.
-
i figured the baseball thing was just about standard for father/son things. that why i suggested something outside the norm. my kids, even though there young enjoy being outside so once there older they will be going with me on caching hunts but will also be going with me to the range. daughter and son.
-
other than painting, hit the seals with some silicone to keep them soft so they seal and keep moisture out.
-
OMG, didnt know there were so many libs on here. guess you guys think we need more anti gun laws even though if the ones on the books were enforced there wouldnt be so many problems. TO QUOTE THE OP "am looking for something me an my son can do." that leads me to believe he is open to suggestions and that is why i SUGGESTED something. jesus, you guys need to take something and chill. also, i never once mentioned anything about hunting. i said, PLINKING which is not hunting, its target practice.
-
hit up EBAY, the for sale forum on here, or even craigslist maybe you can get a deal. if all else fails just wait for a sale. some of the basic GPS units sell dirt cheap and people are always getting rid of there basic GPS to step up to a newer/better unit. something else for you and your son to do is teach him gun safety and take him out shooting. there was nothing better than going out plinking with my grandfather and my dad. my kids are still small(almost 3 and 4) so i still have some time to get strait but both will be taught to shoot and both will start with a BB gun then move up to a .22LR. at 6 you should have no problem getting him to learn the basics of gun safety and red rider BB guns are cheap and so are the BB's.
-
have to ask, why the hate for winmo? im running a HTC Touch Pro with the GPS unlocked and with the nav programs i use it works wonderfully. dont get me wrong, i started off with a palm but it had its limits and i just tossed it in a drawer. the new wm based PPC's can do so much out of the box and with a little modding there hard to beat.

ok i have my account setup but why cant i order the half set? i would rather do that and just wait for all of them. or is my only option to buy each coin at a time?
-
i tried to create an account with them and have not receved an email from them to activate my account. not sure whats going on.
-
email sent for 2.
-
dont really know what im looking for, guess when i see it i will just know. i have started a design and posted it in another thread but i have to figure out what i want on the back. only thing is im starting to rethink the front as well.
-
yep sorry i was thinking about doing something like a wooden nickel on your own not an actual coin that someone else is gonna do for you.
-
not many products that involve fire fighting and EMS. im a fire fighter/medic and am looking to do a wooden nickel and poker chip first then if it turns out good im gonna do a coin. just have to find some designs i like.
-
i just create a square in microsoft picture it that is 1"x1" then create a circle that fits inside of it. but i think im gonna try 1.25"x1.25" next go around.

where does everyone get the clip art for there coins/nickels?
