Best Thing out of a cache...


Ben Pid

Recommended Posts

Have just been using something that I got out of a cache and thought to myself how great and useful it is... poses to me the question..

 

What is the best thing you have traded/taken from a cache? most useful item....or favourite thing...

 

For me it has to be the Screwdriver set I got from Horent's cache in North Marston....absolutly brilliant!! I use it everyday at work and just generally find it wicked!!!

The best things for me are those little personal items that people go to a lot of trouble to make, I am getting quite a collection of cards keyrings and badges.

 

I think my absolute best find though was Lassitudes Hidden Treasures III cd icon_smile.gif

 

I woke this morning and my boat was not rocking...for one horrid moment I thought I lived in a house!

A laser pointer that Hornet left in a cache shortly before I got to it. My cat goes absolutely 'ape' trying to catch the red spot on the carpet, but never does, of course. Hours of fun icon_cool.gif

And should you ask, am I at ease there? I'd answer "Yes. Oh yes indeed".

For my heart it dwells in lonely places, where springs leap down, where ravens feed.

I found a very nice multi-tool penknife once which goes everywhere with me. I can also recall a very long hot trek to another cache and found a can of coke in it - an absolute godsend.

 

Looking at previous entries it seems people's favourite things probably wouldn't be allowed now. Ah happy innocent days icon_wink.gif

 

I must be getting old because I'm sure fireworks were much more fun years ago. Bangers that went BANG! rather than phutt. Jumping crackers to frighten the girls with, aerial bombs, bangers tied to rockets. Ah memories. Or maybe I was just a little hooligan.

 

Stands by for appropriate comments icon_smile.gificon_smile.gif........

It is better to regret something you did, rather than to regret something you didn't do.

Definitely _not_ allowed! Some unescorted young kiddie might find it and blind himself!!

SUPERB. Got to get me some of these. Might scare the trick or treaters away.

 

Onwards and upwards. Never retreat, never surrender.

If you had made it to the HCC event, you could have had some beer from the night cache too!!!

 

Mind you, it WAS guarded most of the time :-)

We found one of those carabiner keyring whatsits, and almost bought another... luckily we didn't as we found another in a cache a few weeks later. We now have one each and use them daily... like being able to add and remove rings of keys easily as it means we don't have to cart all of our keys around everytime we go out.

 

Cheers,

I think the best thing I have found was a Silva head torch which I removed from one of my caches as it was threatening to burst open. I then placed it in the next cache that I hid as it was a bigger box with more room for big items. I think it was worth about £20 and the person that found it in my cache was delighted and uses it regularily.

For those at the NW cache bash back in August... this is exactly what happened to us causing us to be late arriving with the cache details!

Best things out of a cache.

 

Bottle opener from Waterpark walkabout (that little opener's seen more use since I got it than it's probably seen in it's whole life!)

Caribener (I just know that's spelt wrong) from Lyme Boss Challenge (it's a full size locking one and it now keeps my GPSr firmly attached to my goody bag via the lanyard.

And I'm sure that the 2004 diary that I got from Above the mine will come in handy next year.
