+tgsnoopy Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Hmm, If anyone is wondering where the Dopers Den cache went to. It's been archived by admin . Flammables are apparently a no no. Hmm, no-ones ever growled about the waterproof matches before. Looks like I might head down Te Teko way tommorrow. I need to remove a flare so it can be un-archived . Quote Link to comment
Hairy Little Dwarf Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 But I think you'll find waterproof matches won't generally take your fingers off if you don't read the instructions? HLD "nothing says, "I Love You" more than old sweaty ordnance" Quote Link to comment
Popsit & Sweets Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 It is now safe to approach Dopers den. I took the flare out last night.. As a matter of interest they are smoke type handheld flares.. I always carry them when going bush.. good things to pop when you hear the chopper..Far cheaper option for most people than an EPLB ...Considering the armament regularly carried in the US and left in cars, purses, desks etc they have a cheek.... However I still urge caution... the peanut bar is still there and may cause choking.. the cdrom may cause serious injury if the edge is rubbed furiously against the skin ... The pencil in with the log book could also be a hazard to eyes and the lollipop will be very painful if rammed up an orifice... Quote Link to comment

+tgsnoopy Posted December 10, 2002 Author Share Posted December 10, 2002 Darnit, I like those smoke flares. Lotsa lovely bright orange smoke to alert the chopper pilot where you are. I also often carry a small strobe light available for around $40.00 in case a night rescue is required. I was quite surprised Jeremy had archived this one. Oh well, it is in the rules, and the rules are there for our safety. Lets hope the removal of the flare doesn't put anyone at risk in the future . Quote Link to comment

Hairy Little Dwarf Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Surely if you set light to the peanut slab, it would create enough smoke to alert a passing iroquois? Or use the CD as a heliotrope Or use the pencil to scribble your SOS on the cache container and send it downstream in the river. A friend helps you move house. A REAL friend helps you move a body!

+tofska Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 I will generally remove matches from a cache planted in bush, especially dry bush.
