TB etiquette?

[+geopons]

I am new to geocaching. Is it ok to take a travel bug if you don't leave another in exchange?

[+CanadaKate]

Yes. \

TBs need to move.

Yes, if you plan to move it to another cache.

 

TBs aren't swag, they are meant to move from one cache to another. You don't have to leave a TB to pick up another.

Absolutely.

If you find a cache that tells you not to take one without trading one for it that is called a TB prison. No need to follow that rule.

Thanks for the responses! I feel better about taking it now, and will move it along.

Remember some TBs have a specific mission (e.g. going to Texas or visiting battle fields)

I feel bad we are holding on to a couple of TB's we have gotten int he past week or two, but they all want to travel and we are driving from NY to Georgia and figure we will spread them out down there. But they WILL be moved!

Thank you on behalf of that T.B owner and every T.B owner out there...... TB prisons are horrible things

Move it, and have fun while doing it. That way you enjoy it.

True, but you don't have to directly be able to help it on its mission to take it. Just moving it to another cache in the area is fine. Now if it wants to go to Texas and you find it in a cache in Kansas, the owner might not appreciate it if you put it in a cache in Maine.

Thanks for the answer because had the same question. I picked up TB today but did not replace it with one feel better now thanks.

I hate caches that say that. Prisons suck!

I am the same way. One of the ones I have picked up is from New Jersey and its goal was to swim around for a while and then return home. It has been swimming since 05 i think, my sister lives in PA and she is coming to visit in a few weeks so she is going to help him return.
