Cache Attributes

[+AtwellFamily]

I am conducting an informal poll. I would like to know your top 3-5 attributes in each category:

 

Allowed:

Not Allowed:

 

No need to post the picture, the category and attribute name is fine.

 

Thanks.

 

I will follow-up in a few weeks with the results.

Let's see, out of my 5 caches (1 adopted), I have:

Permissions

Dogs - Yes x5

Bicycles - Yes x4

Motorcycles - Yes x3

Conditions

Recommended for kids - Yes x2

Takes less than an hour - Yes x5

Available at all times - Yes x3

Recommended at night - No x2, Yes x1

Stealth required - No x2

Facilities

Wheelchair accessible - Yes x1, No x1

Camping available - No x1

Parking available - Yes x4, No x1

Public transportation - Yes x2

Picnic tables nearby - Yes x1

Telephone nearby - Yes x1, No x1

Stroller accessible - Yes x1, No x1

 

So, it looks like Dogs, Takes less than an hour, and Parking are used on all of them, and Bicycles on most.

Hunting, snakes, poisonous plants, thorns, NO stealth, bikes, boat required, may require wading

 

I used to try to indicate dog/no dog - but gave up, as a number of properties where I have caches have "no dogs" on small boundary signs, but everybody brings dogs. I dunno really what the dog status is.

Less than an hour is my most commonly used one.

 

Hardly ever use the available in winter because it's commonly used wrong in these parts. Many times a cache has it but is on the ground and will be frozen in 2 feet of snow in mid January.

Until the promised change to PQs to include the attributes, I don't use any of them.

[+Creaturecache]

Probably Stealth,dogs,no poison oak and less than one hour. Stealth the most though.

[+Isonzo Karst]

Until the promised change to PQs to include the attributes, I don't use any of them.

 

they may not be included, but they're quite helpful for filtering PQs - help a cacher out, use 'em

 

I filter for NOStealth always.. I know people who filter for stroller and others who filter for wheelchair access. Another family filters for poisonous plants (NO! severe allergy). I tried to use the Dog attribute, but as I mentioned, many of my caches are on properties where the fine print says no dogs, but many many many people have dogs, and they're not being asked to leave. So I just omit it.

Being in Okinawa, I look for the "snakes" attribute...That tells me that the cache is off the beaten path, and will typically be an interesting stroll through the jungle. Now if there was only a "spiders the size of a grown man's hand" attribute...

Without doing any sort of analysis, I suspect the ones I use the most often:

 

Dogs / No Dogs

Takes Less Than an Hour (or not)

Wheelchair accessible (or not)

Stroller accessible (or not)

Scenic View

Significant Hike (or not)

 

Attributes I rarely use:

Recommended for Kids: I don't cache with any, so I have no idea what they like.

 

Available During Winter: Because I don't know how to define "available". The area might be accessible but the cache is under three feet of snow. The cache is certainly available, and it certainly is findable if someone wants to put in the effort.

I use a lot, just for irony. (I live in Florida.)
