Daveyboy Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 This BFL thing sounds pretty cool, but someone please, please tell me what "BFL" stands for? I have figured out (thanks to lots of help in the "Getting Started" forum) that it is some sort of light... but can anyone expand on that? Thanks.. :-) Quote
+PDOP's Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 I'm not positive but I think it's like a BFR. Hope this helps. PDOP's GPS Pages Quote
+ZoomZoom Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 B for big F for I can't swear on the net, L for light. There are two kind of people in this world... Those going nowhere and then there are those going somewhere. Quote
cachewidow Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 eroyd keeps telling me it means big furry loafers. Ours mainly is a convenient lump for finding your big toe in the dark. Maybe it would find a better home at a fire dept. It's not difficult to meet demands; just turn around and there they are. Quote
+eroyd Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Okay Mom, I'll get rid of this lump soon. I dropped it on a cat the other day . . . Sorry. (It was an accident, ...really!) Quote

Curious George Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 An Idiot's Guide to Caching in Victoria after dark: LFL = Little F@$&*#% Light - a regular handheld flashlight used by most cachers who aren't lucky enough to live here RCLFL = Really Cool LFL - a 75,000 candlepower handheld light that packs a punch BFL = Big FL - the original, the one that started it all. A 500,000 candlepower rechargeable spot light CBFL = Camo BFL - a camo 1,000,000 candelpower rechargeable spot light DBBFL = Double Barrel BFL - a twin lens 3,000,000 candelpower night sun. Turns night into day and it can power other 12v devices like your cell phone - also used by local Fire Dept. I love the smell of Lock 'n Locks in the morning...they smell like $$$ Quote
+canadazuuk Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Thank you Dan for putting an end to our misery. Some people consider themselves lucky to NOT live in a certain, particular, unnameable place. (I'm not one of them, but I just thought to interject with a different opinion) canadazuuk Quote
+Yellowcode3 Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 These lights are also useful when out in the middle of no where and you encounter an accident. For camping, though, they are a bit of an overkill in the tent, unless you need an alternative source of heat. Quote
+eroyd Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Besides Geocaching we've found several good uses for our BFL. Cooking, Tanning. Drying the childrens hair. Checking under beds for monsters. Blinding Raccoons. Searching under our trailer for Grampa's jug of medicine. Signalling the orbiting mother ship. Illuminating neighbour's daughters 3 am arrival home. Spotting submerged Iraqi submarines. (they're out there man!) Illuminating neighbours wife's 5 am arrival home. Checking the outhouse for monsters. Waking up Cachewidow before 8 am. (actually that requires two BFLs and blast of Led Zepplin IV) [This message was edited by eroyd on April 22, 2003 at 10:46 PM.] Quote
+canadazuuk Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 PS- Yes, I did climb a mountain (on the island) to get my very own BFL. There were a couple left on the mainland for others. It has been quite useful since you can attach your GPS to it and it will automatically illuminate an azimuth to the nearest cache, which in Vancouver of course, is at least 617.45 times further away than in Victoria, where you simply use the smalller area light it comes equipped with to illuminate the dozen (or two) caches that are nearest to where you parked your car. canadazuuk Driving a zuuk again, thank you RM Quote

+Solar Max Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 CBFL....Cacherunner says it's just CFL, Camo F Light. I like it because it's the acronym of our very own Football League. Ottawa heads to training camp very soon now. Go Rough Riders! ( Renegades, whatever, It will always be 'Riders to me.) How much intelligence does it take to sneak up on a piece of tupperware? Quote
