+1NatureMom Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Last year my family thought I was nutz when I added geocaching to our favorite-spiritual holiday; now they are adding to it! I camo'd a gift for my husband under the tree, hung a handmade geocaching ornament to the tree, asked for gifts related to geocaching, and our family 12 month photo-calendar was all seasonal geocaching pictures! This year our 1NatureGirls are asking for: Camelbacks, their own GPSr, and snowshoes for caching! And...while they are now spending their reading time going thru toy catalogs, I hear them mumble "oh, this'd be cool for trade items; I'd wish someone would put that in a cache"!! So what's on your list or your ideas? Quote Link to comment
+Mystery Ink Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 A couple of ideas come to mind: Backpack - saw a nice one the other day for less that $40 that even had a water container built in Walking stick - I picked up some already Small tool kit - flashlight, mirror, multi-tool knife, oh yea small black light for invisible ink (we have some puzzle caches here with that) Geocoin - Danger, can be addictive Quote Link to comment

Team Firebird Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 (edited) you mean warm Why does everyone hate micros? What I want for christmas is people to stop arguing about them and just accept that they are part of geocaching! I also want a new fish tank(relaxing when working on those tough puzzel caches!) Last year, I got a gpsr for christmas, and joined geocaching.com 15 minutes later! Edited October 29, 2005 by Team Firebird Quote Link to comment

+TeamK-9 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I could use a few things: Trekking polls Mid-size day pack (Last year, I got a day pack, and while it's exactly the one I picked out, it ended up being huge. I could probably live out of that thing for a week or two) Snowshoes Cross-country skis New GPS (without broken screen) A nice sleeping bag New, small tent Quote Link to comment

+tourinct Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have almost all the stuff I need (yea some of it is 30 years old), now I need time, understanding that the jones needs to be fed and someone to do yardwork. In addition, the kids could forget multi-mile wrong turns and "100 steps" (though they love to talk about it afterwards, they are afraid the next one will be a repeat). Merry Xmas!
