The guidelines aren't going to spell out everything in extreme detail, they would be a mile long. There has to be a point where people use common sense. How can something be a container and a logbook/logsheet at the same time? You have a container. You open it. You take the logbook/logsheet out of it and sign it. You put the logbook/logsheet back in the container. You shut it. There are an abundance of caches that are just that, a container and a log book heres one there are others as well they were talked about in a previous thread.

Cascade Reviewer I understand your interpretation (opinion if you will) but please cite where it says in the guidelines where it is required for the container and logbook must be separate entities.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, nor a nation challenged, will stay us from the swift completion of our cache search. As others have stated you might have to filter out the harder terrain caches depending on your survival skills.

The only animals we have come across are a few eagles, owls. hawk, crows and other birds. The sqwatch kids are a bit loud and haven't figured out that if they are quite they'll see cool animals thing yet .

We are considering buying a rapid prototyping machine at work (it was put in the budget). I have been pushing for one for some time now!!!!!! woo hoo Hopefully soon I will be making kick butt cache containers.

How I deal with run ins with the police when I havent broken a law is I ask if I am being detained if they say no then I saw thank you have a nice day. WI (where I live)is not a stop and identify state so they cant walk up to you and ask for ID without RAS. If they say yes I ask why I m being detained and we go from there. This is how I deal with the authorities. I am by no means saying you should try this. You need to research the laws for yourself and act on that accordingly.

ALL THE ABOVE MENTIONED

We have found something similar to this, a bison tube glued to a hollowed out pine cone hung in a cedar tree.

How would one go about putting a geocache in space since it CAN'T have accurate gps coords(required) and you cant put a physical container with a log(required)? Plus then how would you maintain it?

To the OP here is my opinion/experience on this. I recently started a series in my area and in the description of most if not all the caches it says please replace container if missing needless to say I posted a needs maintenance on quite a few caches that day due to broken or no containers, ziploc baggies half full of water. If I am asked to help maintain a cache due to laziness or not able to properly maintain I will refuse but if I come across a cache that needs a log or baggie I will place a new log/baggie with the old log to help out.

Suppose one wasy around this would be to make it a puzzle cache or something, use co-ords for something such as a sign post or lampost etc... outside but near to the library. Then use clues based on that to give the finder the details of where in the library the book is hidden. E.g. The coding system my local library uses is a 3 digit number followed by a 3 digit extension (e.g. 796.334) which is stickered onto the spine of each book, Im sure a lot of librarys use similar indexing systems that you could try and link a puzzle cache too. But I don't think a reviewer would be so cruel to pull you up on using coords for the door to the library etc... So I don't think you woul need to worry about that. My local reviewer had me do our first library cache as a multi a physical cache outside the library with a hint on how to find the book inside.( we did not use the dewey it is randomly placed)

I had planned on contacting my local reviewer I wanted ask in here for 2 reasons to get seasoned pros (or anyones) opinion since we are still somewhat new(less than a year at it) but getting better at Geocaching and 2 get the idea out there for all to see or use as they see fit geo friends who care are geo friends who share

Interesting idea. Obviously, there is a container involved. But the log is not in said container. Unless you interpret container to include the book itself? Personally, I would love such a hide. I'd like to here a Reviewer's take on this, as well as the varied opinions of cachers. Like stated in my first post we do have a library hide in a pretty historic local library already it is a hollowed out book with a separate log notepad inside the hollow section And I did have the reviewer help my through the hide process ((it was our first hide) we are bored with all the lame caches in our area we have vowed never to hide a lamo-cache)

please offer feedback on a container idea I have been pondering for a while (since our first library hide) which was recently sparked from another forum thread This would be another library hide. The container would be a book but it would have 40 or so blank pages for log book use but the book would also have a hollowed out section for swag and trackables. Would this meet the guidelines for a container?

Thanks for all the suggestions, the sqwatchboy picked Geo

here is a geocache that has no container or paper log to sign and it has been an active cache since 2011 Graffiti me

this one is the first one my wife thought of

that one is already on my list

he is lab collie mix all black

I am picking up a new puppy tonight to join us on our geo adventures. We are looking for cool odd Geocache related name ideas. Let hear them I know there are plenty of creative people here.

So, while geocaching, you open carried a firearm, then held a 2-legged "criminal"--who meant you harm--at gunpoint until the police arrived, arrested them, and put them in jail? Do tell! Long story short a guy decided to try and rob a gas station where my wife and kids were using the restrooms (break from caching)and he spent a day or two behind bars. How long he was behind bars I dont know but we were tourist's and I was OCing.

name='edscott' timestamp='1380314429' post='5305545'] ..... Probably the biggest danger on the trail would be a rattlesnake. ....... exactly... And what purpose does a firearm have when you see a poisonous snake? If you see it you can move away.. if you don't and he strikes, there are things more important to do than killing him. I have plenty of firepower at home but unless I'm hunting I don't bother packing them. Those that are so fearful of the outdoors that they need to carry a weapon might be more comfortable doing something else. Well once you have been cornered by a 2 legged criminal meaning you harm or a 4 legged animal that you are in the way of its dinner bell or between its offspring you will understand why some of us decide to carry a firearm. I have been in all situations I described and all turned out best for my family and I. The criminal is in jail and the 4 legged were scared off by a few warning shots.

Mine was a mayo jar near a river, during the spring we had a large melt and heavy rains causing it to flood searched all of GZ 150 ft radius but we eventually found after the second trip about 150 FEET(edited) down river wet but intact.

Alaskan brown bear country might be a place to pack heat...but one can tell a tourist from a resident in an easy assessment: The tourist wears their gun in a holster on their hip for all to see. Residents conceal... I beg to differ, I OC over CC In my opinion it does 2 things 1 it is a visual deterrent for a criminal to think twice before he acts, and 2 it also helps desensitize people to seeing good everyday law abiding citizens acting like good law abiding citizens. Not the wildwest cowboys like some media and politicians portray firearm enthusiast to be. But my main reason for OCing is I dont have to scramble to clear the concealment to draw my tools of protection.
