2 lines or 3

[+moosehunter5]

If you had 2 lines or maybe 3. Limit of 25-35 characters per line. What would you say?

Ans yes I am considering ordering imprinted pens with a geocaching theme.

 

[+cerberus1]

Not really getting it.  Maybe having an off-day, but sounds like your "2 or 3" lines is simply on a pen for a cache container ?

As someone who's had to replace pens, pencils, and even the pencil sharpeners every time we've done maintenance, I'd use all three.

Do not keep.

Use it to sign the log. 

Thank you.

 

Doubtful it'd help, but worth a shot...

[+moosehunter5]

yes, the 2 or 3 lines will be on a pen. sorry i didn't make that clear

[+Max and 99]

I like cerberus' suggestion. It may or may not help keep the pencil in the cache.

For some people, that would make it more desirable! For extra sticky-fingerness, add the cache name and/or GC code.  

 

If I put out caches, I'd probably just buy a box of cheap-o pencils from the dollar store, cut them into thirds and sharpen both ends. Put one or two in the cache, should last a while. (As in, the box should last a while, the pencils' will probably need replacing each cache visit as cerberus1 noted.)

Or "This pen stolen from moosehunter5"

 

I assumed that the OP was thinking of using these pens as signature swag.

We use freezer bags to separate the log and trackables from swag in ammo cans. 

We leave pencils on the bottom, yet they eventually somehow make it into one of those bags, and soon there's a puncture hole.

Our neighbor has things worse, running through a gross of golf pencils in two years.  But 'em real cheap.

That makes more sense!

 

Confuse people by putting "Stolen from MooseHunter5" pens in other caches.

Okay, guess we're playing 20 questions...  

Do you plan on leaving pens in planned geocaches, or leaving them in visited caches as swag ?  Thanks.     

We had pens imprinted once as swag.  They simply said Cache In Trash Out, and left in caches with film cans loaded w/ grocery bags.

Pens all went bye-bye, COs told us the film cans were there a long time...

I think the idea of imprinted pens is rather nice. I am still trying to decide whether to use as swag, signature item, or hand out to geo friends. Perhaps a bit of each depending on how many I order at about $1 per

Sounds good.   Everybody could use another pen.        

We stopped putting pens in our own caches.  Freeze n thaw, than leak all over the log (in your own caches long term).

I've been through your area when not taking the 401, and your Winters are colder than ours.

Drop them in others caches as easily grabbed swag, hand one to folks on the trail is nice.  We do that with unactivated signature geocoins now.

Perhaps we'll spot each other on a trail sometime and swap.

When in doubt, slap your team name on it, then pick yourself a motto and go with that. Can be as simple as "I ❤️ Geocaching!" or the like.

Or that old Geocaching definition: using multi-billion-dollar satellite technology to find Tupperware in the woods.

I think as swag is an excellent idea! We have pencils and mini gel pens in our caches and they seem to go quick. But I love your idea to imprint the pens. "I Found a Geocache!". "Geocache Addict". "I <3 Geocaching". This is a fun subject! Please let us know what you decide to imprint on them to give us ideas too!
