+wretsub Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Hello Everyone, I am in the process of working with the Geocache people in putting together a Geocache Patch per state. I was thinking this would be a great cache item or something to wear on a jacket to show all the different states that a person found a cache. At this point, I am interested to know what people think. The patch would be the Geocache Logo with the state in the background.. Thanks for all your input!

+DutchBoy Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 My wife does machine embroidery and we have been leaving these sew-on patches in caches as a trading piece. We have gotten lots of requests for extra patches. I think your idea sounds great. DutchBoy Quote Link to comment

Why be so US-centric? There are 119 countries that, as I write, have caches in them... so why stop at the US? OK, the demand won't be as great, but I expect those patches would be hugely popular in Europe (UK in particular) and other countries where nations are relatively close to one another.

Team Sidewinder Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 It sounds like a good idea although if every geocacher in Montana bought one that would only be 50 some. sidewinder LOST AND FOUND DEPT. Quote Link to comment

Then leave the patches for someone who wants one, and trade for something else. I have packpack for geocaching. I'd sew any patches I trade for on to my backpack. Anyhoo, Sailors in the US Navy do simular things. I've seen people use backpack but the most popular is a jacket. They will get a patch from each port they visit and sew it on the back or down the sleaves of a jacket (or the cheat and buy one at the ships store). - Lone Rangers Quote Link to comment

+RAD Dad Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 I would love to get a patch for each state I cache in...though chances are those would only be the surrounding states...I don't travel far. I'd definately need one for Oregon, where I live, and Washington where I vacation often...maybe California, if I ever get down there, and probably Alaska, as well as Victoria and Vancover BC. I'd love to put them on my pack. ummmm....not sure what to say here....so ummm, well errrr, uhhhh, well I guess that's it. Quote Link to comment
+rickrob Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Count me in, I would love to have one are 100 Quote Link to comment
+niskibum Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I was wondering what size you would make them. If people had numerous states a smaller patch would be prefered. Would it be possible to have two sizes, a large one for your home state and small ones for other states you have cached in? Quote Link to comment
+Jacksons Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Sounds great I want an Ohio patch,I supposed we will have to put up with a michigan patck also Quote Link to comment
spiderlady Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Count me in for Oregon!! Perhaps if people were interested in collecting the patches there would be a way in the forums to accomplish that? I know personally my chances of geocaching in any other country would be 'pretty slim to none'... but I would LOVE to be able to acquire patches from other countries.

+zoisrus Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Count another Ohioan in-what a great Idea-I would want one for Ohio, Michigan, NY, PA, and Idaho where I plan to go Geocaching in August! Quote Link to comment
