+mtngirls Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Does anyone know where I can buy a 3 x 4 geocaching flag for my rv? We were out campingthis weekend and it turns out we were camped very near three other cachers and we didn't know. Thanks Quote Link to comment
+fox-and-the-hound Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) Try here http://shop.Groundspeak.com/category.cfm?c...ID=5&home=t I don't think they carry flags (yet), but I often look for window and bumper stickers to id other cachers. or try www.bestcustomflags.com where they can make many different sizes with just about anything you want.

+mtngirls Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I checked both sites. Groundspeak does not have them and the custom place wanted 150 bucks! Anu other ideas?? Quote Link to comment
+kosmicki Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I checked both sites. Groundspeak does not have them and the custom place wanted 150 bucks! Anu other ideas?? Well, you could try to get a blank white flag then do an iron on transfer or something of each of the colored panels of the logo. You'd need a very big image or a vector file of the logo for that. Or, if one of you can sew, the logo is pretty simple. Quote Link to comment
magellan315 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 If you can't sew, see if you can find a local seamstress through a quilt guild. Quote Link to comment
Bryan Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Please post some sample images of the type of flag you'd like to see and I'd be happy look into having Groundspeak stock them at ShopGroundspeak.com. Quote Link to comment
+kosmicki Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 The Jeep background has a little flag in it. http://www.geocaching.com/goodies/jeep/1_1024.jpg Although it's backwards from how a flag normally faces, it's how I pictured it. Quote Link to comment
+Lakebum Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'd love one for my boat. 3x5 would be a little big though. 10" by 13" would be more appropriate. Quote Link to comment

+AuntieNae Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 The Tapps & I would buy at least one, perhaps two. They would be great for camping plus when we host events. AuntieNae Quote Link to comment
+Evil Chicken Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think it's a great idea too. I'd definitely want one for the cachemobile! Quote Link to comment

+Team Shydog Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Here is an example of a homemade flag. Of course we all won't have to have Deermark on the flag, unless of course you REALLY want to . I have one of these that I won at a CITO event, the flag was signed by all the cachers that were there. Great memento. On a sad note, the wonderful cacher that made this has pass away, she is greatly missed. Chris-Team Shydog Quote Link to comment

+MissJenn Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have a feeling a flag of any size would be a very popular item, especially at events. Quote Link to comment
+clatmandu Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 A sail maker would probably be able to make them quite cheaply. Quote Link to comment
+DudleyGrunt Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I like that one! Seriously, a GC car flag would be cool. Quote Link to comment
+Mystery Ink Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Did this idea die, or did any get made? Edited September 28, 2008 by Mystery Ink Quote Link to comment
+River Cacher Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 The car ones would be great to use on the way to events or just out caching. Hope to see them on sale soon. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Looks like 2-sided 5-color car flags can be had for $8.10 in quantity 200 to 800 at http://www.united-states-flag.com/custom-12-x18inch.html Maybe we should all email the Groundspeak storekeepers and let them know that we'd buy them if they'd sell them... I would bet that they would sell far more than the 800 price breakpoint. 800+ brings the cost down to $6.25 Of course that's just a quick web search, I am sure that some shopping around would find them even cheaper.

I would bet that they would sell far more than the 800 price breakpoint. 800+ brings the cost down to $6.25 Of course that's just a quick web search, I am sure that some shopping around would find them even cheaper. I got quotes from 3 other flag makers, you found the best price. My best price was $20.00 each, min. order was 100. One of the folks I talked to said to be sure teh flag holder for the window is included in the price. Some folks don't include the pole, they are quoting just the flag, then NAIL ya for the pole. Also checkout carefully the material used. With the speed limit being 65-75 some materials do not hold up well. Your guy even says that at 55mph, their flag will only last a month. So a higher price for a much more durable product might be better. I need to look at my STEELERS flag. It has been around and abused and see who the MFG. is. I think a car flag would really sell.
