Kinda like Golf. Change the numbers all you want, you'll always know your real score. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters.

Target carries both individual containers and sold by the set. They've become my new favorite container. I have one in play for over a year and it has done well.

I hate to say it, but I have to agree with the few that carry gun permits. It's just become that type of world where you need to protect yourself in isolated places. Too many stories of hikers/backpackers getting killed while out in the woods. Mind you, I'd probably would have still just left the area also. But, just in case, it's always nice to have a firearm with you.

I've been hunting around for a set of walkie-talkies to take with me on my hunts. Motorola makes most of small, hand held units I've seen at places like Target and Best Buy. I'm concerned about reception in heavy, dense woods. Has anyone had experience with these handhelds in this type of environment? Good reception? Poor reception?

Upon reaching my second destination of the morning, I knew that I wasn't dressed properly. Wearing shorts, t-shirt and tennis shoes, my objective was easily 30 feet in dense packed woods (N. Florida). Still, I decided to give it a shot as the cache owner promised awesome goodies for those that found it. After 20 minutes of searching around I decided to hike out to the tree line and get a good bearing point to walk back to. I don't know if it was luck or not, but I just happened to be looking down as I turned around and there it was... a 3 foot cottonmouth coiled up, mouth wide open, not more than a few feet from me. Standing there I considered my options.. A: scream like a little girl, B: scream like a little girl, C: scream like a little girl and then give the snake its space. I took option C without the screaming. Needless to say, didn't find that cache, got the wits scared out of me and now more determined to find the cache. P.S. - A 37 y/o man screaming like a little girl is only funny when someone is there to actually see it. Otherwise it is just pathetic and demoralizing.

I've just recently started and I have to say that they should have a help group for people addicted to this sport. I've got the shakes just from the fact that I can't go out today and hunt for some (wife wants me to clean the house).
