+Gps Storm Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Has anyone seen this website? www.tb-rescue.com I think it is a great idea, and the more people that register on the site the greater chance it has of succeeding. Quote
+cincol Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 A really great idea. I hope a few SA cachers sign up. I have a couple of mine that require rescuing in SA. Quote
cache-fan Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 A really great idea. I hope a few SA cachers sign up. I have a couple of mine that require rescuing in SA. Signed up. Quote
+RedGlobe Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 A really great idea. I hope a few SA cachers sign up. I have a couple of mine that require rescuing in SA. Also registered and will see if we can help Cincol. Quote
+GEO936 Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Nice find - thank you for letting us know! We think it is a great idea too! We have also just registered, and will definitely make use of it in future. Quote
+BruceTP Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Thanks for the tip-off. I have registered and logged my "BruceTP's 2009 Great SA TB Race Medallion" which seems to have run aground in Cape Town. It has been in the in the Tygerberg Cache for more than a month - in fact, it has not moved at all this year! Quote
+Tricky Vicky & Mickey Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Registered too and will try and help rescue TB's whenever we can. Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I signed up yesterday and had my one coin rescued from the UK after being stuck for almost 5 months. Quote
+Skyjuggler Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 I've signed up as well. It seems like a pretty cool site. Good job!!! Now just have to wait for a rescue request... Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Just a pity one can only have a single 75km radius to "watch" Quote
+Happy Hunters SA Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Our TB racer has not done much racing for the most part of the Tb race. Our rescue posting 2010/02/15 07:10 AM from owner 'Happy Hunters SA' Our TB needs some help!!!It is in the 2009 TB race!! Firstly it was in the hands of a cacher for over 2 months. And now it's stuck in GC1W76W since 13/12/2009. Would really appreciate it if someone could help our bug to move!! Edited February 15, 2010 by Happy Hunters SA Quote
+The Could Not Zee's Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 We have also registered but are not able to log in to watch an area. I have emailed the webmaster and this will hopefully be resolved soon. Once we are in we will gladly assist where we can. TCNZ's Quote

HHSA You need to register your "rescue mission" on the TB Rescue website in order for it to be published for all to see. Good luck - my racer is also crying for help. It has been stranded on top of a mountain since September!! Quote

+Carbon Hunter Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Bummer -I just had a rescue attempted - only to find my coin MIA A coin cincol and I placed in the desert almost a year ago. Quote

+t4e Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 great find! registered, after 5 attempts at entering the security code before i figured out its case sensitive Quote
+Waynes_world Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 OK I did my first rescue this morning, hopefully I placed it into a cache that someone will visit and retrieve shortly. Good luck Bruce. Quote
+BruceTP Posted February 19, 2010 Posted February 19, 2010 OK I did my first rescue this morning, hopefully I placed it into a cache that someone will visit and retrieve shortly. Good luck Bruce. You see: The site works! After sitting for more than a month doing nothing, I posted a resue plea and within a week my TB is now in a new cache. Thank you Waynes_world, you are a star. Quote

Even better, my TB as pickup today and is now on its way to Hermanus. Thanks Justin! It is a pity that the rescue site does not let you write a final comment / thanks for the rescue. I looked but it seems that the posting is closed and locked. Or am I missing something here? Quote
+BruceTP Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I have a geocoin (BruceTP's AFMG : TB2QN82) which was collected by a newby cacher in November 2009 from a cache in Tennessee, USA but he has not cached since. I tried e-mailing him through GC but I have had no response. hgl, who gave the the coin has also tried mailing but to date has had no joy either. So I thought to myself, let my put in a TB-Rescue listing for it and maybe there is someone out there who may know who pbrickey65 is and be able to rescue the coin from him. But alas, TB-Rescue will only accept rescues of coins which are currently logged into caches. So I shall just have to wait for pbrickey65 to one day clean out his desk drawers and perchance he may come across my coin. Let us hope that he then does actually move it along. One can but live in hope and expectation. Wonders never cease. Quote

I don't see why lost trackables in the hands of a cacher could not also be listed. As you say, perhaps a rescuer nearby would know this person. On the other hand, unless they can come to some agreement with GC about sharing "home coordinates" how would they know where the person is likely to be. Quote
+Carbon Hunter Posted March 21, 2010 Posted March 21, 2010 They are really good about suggestions too. I made a suggestion about watchable radius here in the UAE - and it was implemented smartly. Quote
+JPMZA Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 My racing bug got stuck for a few months recently - "I know the feeling!" This site is a great idea and I am now also registered. Quote
+cachensfun Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Is there somthing like this for the U.S.A? Quote
MnCo Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Is there somthing like this for the U.S.A? It's world wide. Go check out the site www.tb-rescue.com. You can sign up to watch areas anywhere in the world and register bugs that are stuck anywhere in the world. I currently have one listed which has been stuck in taiwan for months Quote
+cachensfun Posted March 25, 2010 Posted March 25, 2010 Cool. We singed up last night. Put one of ours on the list that's been sitting for almost four months now. We rely like this site and are posting it on local Geocaching websites. Thanks for sharing GPSstorm Quote
+cachensfun Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 We wrote GC.com and they told us they will be adding this sit to their "Helpful Links" page. Quote

+miking Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Ok, so we registered as well. Great idea. We had a bug holed up in one cache in the Canadian Maritimes for a whole year before it was moved on, so we know the feeling. Quote
+Happy Hunters SA Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Wow!! Our 2009 racer Travelling Beads has been stuck in Old Wagon Trail at Barton’s Folly GC1W76W for the past 4 months We just want to Thank TangoBravo for moving it along! TangoBravo retrieved Travelling Beads from Old Wagon Trail at Barton’s Folly Quote
+RedGlobe Posted December 22, 2010 Posted December 22, 2010 When we log a coin “TBPFT3” that we retrieved from a cache in Mpumalanga we noticed this coin was lost for four years. This proves there is always hope for our travellers.... Quote
+JPMZA Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 My racing bug got stuck for a few months recently - "I know the feeling!" This site is a great idea and I am now also registered. I recently carried out my first rescue mission as well. Quote
