+briansnat Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm new to the forum, and geocaching in general, but I have a great idea. Rather than breaking rules some deem as pointless or stupid, why not petition the people creating these rules to get repeal them. So, instead of risk having geocaching banned in areas by leaving pocket knives in an act of rebellion, lets start contacting the people in charge about it. Maybe we can get things changed for the better. GC.COM has a rule against them, mostly to cover thier butts. That won't change. Realistically, they have no control over what is placed in a cache, so it's up to the participants of this sport to do the right thing. A little common sense goes a long way. Quote Link to comment
bubish Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I understand that it is not as simple as it sounds. I was more getting at something like: If you aren't going to do something about it, don't complain about it. I am all for following the rules in this case. And besides, why is it so important to have knives in caches Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 (edited) And besides, why is it so important to have knives in caches Because I bought a bunch of Swiss Army knives (Victoranox, not knockoffs) to place in caches just before the rule was implemented.

Makes a great gift. I can send you our PO Box if you'd like to donate them to the MGS, we can use them as prizes at our up-coming event. Quote Link to comment
+Andy and Robin Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 but does the rule apply to member only caches? I have reason to believe it doesn't. Quote Link to comment

NO KNIVES IN CACHES....seems pretty simple to me....guideline doesn't say "no knives in caches, except Members Only caches, then it's OK" Quote Link to comment
