+Planet Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 One! Woohoo. FTF is no big deal. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 How many days in a row did you manage to be First To Find? 1. I really have no interest in the FTF game, and even if I did, I live in an area where it's not uncommon to have no new caches published within 20-30 miles for two weeks. A few years ago, there was a period of time when there were only 6 new caches published over a four month time span. Can't get a large number of consecutive FTF days (or even a find a day) when there are no new caches being placed. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Two or three...maybe four, I don't remember. Nah, I'm pretty sure it was only three. Quote Link to comment
+secretagentbill Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I've not had consecutive days with an FTF, but caches aren't published every day, either, so that'd be tough to pull off. But I did have a stretch recently where I was getting one every couple of days: 01/15/2012 01/18/2012 3 days 01/24/2012 6 days 01/26/2012 2 days 01/30/2012 4 days 01/30/2012 0 days 02/01/2012 2 days 02/18/2012 17 days I never considered myself to be an FTF hound, but it was kind of exciting to pull a few in here and there Quote Link to comment
+addisonbr Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Looks like I had a five-day streak two or three years ago, before I started working full time. Also, in line with what NYPaddleCacher was saying, it helped that there were a ton of caches being placed in my area around that time. Quote Link to comment
+the4dirtydogs Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think we had 9 consecutive days with an FTF. Quote Link to comment
+rjb43nh Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It depends a lot of factors but in July-September 2011 in New Hampshire I had 83 FTFs in 90 days, but not one every day. Quote Link to comment

+thebruce0 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bring on the griefers... If FTF's aren't your game, no need to reply... just say zero or one and leave it alone. Consecutive day FTF would be quite the feat! Especially if you live in a populated area with a few ftf hounds... One might have a good chance on a distant power/numbers trail, if no other geocacher rushed out, and if you could resist the urge to do more than one per day along the trail hehe I think the more achievable FTF streak would be per month. I know the gsak stats includes a 'number of consecutive months with FTF' count. I know a number of people just around here who have over 12 months in a row with an FTF. I'd have a good length, but there was one month that was dry for local publishes, and I failed; what made it worse - I got an FTF on the 1st of the next month. GAH The other nice thing about aiming for monthly FTFs is that once you get it, you don't have to identify as an FTF hound for the rest of the month Quote Link to comment
+JoLTeam Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Consecutive days with FTF : two I think. Or three. As for consecutive months with FTF : I now have a current streak of 13 months...but February is getting near its end, I still haven't got an FTF and the new caches are coming a bit slow this month...

+Great Scott! Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I had a FTF streak of 5 days in row back on Jan 10 - 14, 2006. Longest month streak was 36. Then I missed Jul 2005. Ran off another 30 months in a row starting Aug 2005. Current month streak is 4. On my yearly calendar, I have 257 of 366 days with a FTF on it. Quote Link to comment
+NicknPapa Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 since I've never seen more than one consecutive days with new caches published close enough to go for, my answer would have to be one. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 How many days in a row did you manage to be First To Find? Why don't you ask Scubasonic. He has FTFs in his pocket. Quote Link to comment
+power69 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 How many days in a row did you manage to be First To Find? one day i got 9 FTFs. however only a streak of two days. FTF is tough when you're up against hounds with cars. also i don't go out if the temp is below 55°[unless its within a mile of home and i've cached out all those] Quote Link to comment
+Corfman Clan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 How many days in a row did you manage to be First To Find? I've managed 8 days in a row last July. They're listed in this log. Quote Link to comment
