Let's hear more about the "homeless camps" and the perceived danger. Are they known to be high-crime areas? High crime areas yes, maybe, no, Im not sure. But what I do know is I am not willing to be anywhere without my sidearm. If I encounter somewhere I cannot be with a firearm I will not go there. And in my opinion I do feel that a person down on their luck is more prone to the notion of committing crimes then someone who isn't.

I carry a sidearm everywhere I go no matter what Im doing. I have stumbled across a couple homeless camps while cacheing on the edge of some urban areas. Plus I am out in the wilderness alot due to all my outdoor hobbies which take me into bear, wolf, and coyote country with the ocansional mountain lion passing through the area.

NOW THATS FUNNY

I take wooden craft shapes and use a wood burner to burn images into them and our geo name and trade for other sig items kids trade the generic swag our daughter makes friendship bracelets and trades those someties. Like others have said handmade swag rocks as long as it stays somewhat appropriate

someone is trying that on a website here i for one think a history cache would be a great idea

None YET (keyword)

our first cache Here is our first cache it is a local history based indian artifacts. Alot of the artifacts were found on our family farm

We carry extendable magnet, extendable pocket mirror, tweezers, micro needle nose pliers, pick set, large safety pin, lighter, headgear lights, first aid kit, LOTS OF BUG SPRAY, swag, sig items, sidearm with 45 friends and a cell Im sure there is more just cant think of it right now.

the wooden nickels are signature swag trade able or collectible up to you really i collect signature items if we find one we leave one of our sig. items

That is an interesting concept. I think I will have to work on this but on a smaller scale

We log any and all DNF's if we cant find the target it used to bother us almost like a failure but now we accept it as a challenge to come back and try again

is there a way to filter so you only search for night caches?

A couple of ideas 1. make a nano its own cache size 2. add an extra large size to the cache sizes basically anything bigger than XX 3. remove unknown as a cache size 4. make puzzle caches its own cache type we are not fans of puzzles and would like to be able to filter them out basically these 4 suggestions compliment each other IMHO

we had just placed our 2nd cache and we found 2 partial skeletons of a small wild animal near by, really nice pieces of driftwood, we found a fellow geocacher twice and lots of trash which naturally ended up in my garage at home

my home browser is up to date im sure my work browser is as well (have to wait till monday to look)we hire a IT comp. to make sure all work stations are running top notch and with that they make sure all systems are up to date every week BUT you never know it may be something with the work server or the IT dept we hire. also on a side note since i do use chrome and have a google acct i am logged in to my google account at home and at work

i use chrome & windows 7 at home and at work that pic in your post Kunarion is what i have at home but at work it is one box and its not as nicely organized

ok a little preface when at home i go to my owned geocache page and click on my cache my navigation menus are spit into two groups view, watch, bookmark, and ignore then there is another box with all the admin tools. now when at work all those menus are in on box and titled navigation what is the deal with that??? is there a setting somewhere in GC or is it a server thing and my workplace?

Thanks for your opinion.

Ill rephrase that I wasnt going to turn in anyone especially since I cant guarantee they did it just report that i found swag that is against the guidelines.

We had recently found some firecrackers (black cats which I disposed of and made a note on my online log about it) in a geocache and from the names that signed the log I think I know who did it. Does this warrant being turned in to GC, or should i just let it go?

If it is state land then the DNR if it is county land then either the county forestry dept or county parks and rec sometimes they are the same dept, city land contact the park and rec or city hall And the reviewers I have to deal with require you to state who granted you permission in your cache description even though it is not required. All that it states is that you get permission. GC guidelines

OUR FIRST CACHE here is our first cache so far it has been accepted very well (cant give details)

can a cache be placed in the area if 1 a old cache has been archived by GS? 2 same scenario but archived by the owner?

we have 2 pockets for swag one is full of swag for the kids and the other one is the cool swag stuff collected from trade shows or neat little touristy trinkets and signature items

adding to this you could use adhesive to glue the block the the bottom of the ammo box
