HowardDouglas Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I am curious why people take in the day packs dead batteries? What is that for? Quote Link to comment
+jeff35080 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Uh..... maybe they are rechargeables and they are taking them home to recharge? Quote Link to comment
+SnowLeopard Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Basically, if you change batteries in the field, what do you do with them? Throw them on the ground, no. So I'll just put them in my pack and remember to take them out when I get home - yea right! Quote Link to comment
HowardDouglas Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 No, the people said they carry dead batteries for a reason, not like they forgot to take out batteries from the pack from a prior cache hunt. Quote Link to comment

+Stunod Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That is okay I didn't want you to read my mind, I have contacted the people directly on the board and they have explained it to me. And now you don't share it with us??? Quote Link to comment

HowardDouglas Posted April 28, 2004 Author Share Posted April 28, 2004 He said they were old batteries from other cache huntings. He just threw them in the bag and they make their way to the bottom. And when the question was asked what is in your bag, he said they are. No big deal... Quote Link to comment
WH Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 AHHH...so they are simply dead batteries that have been sitting in limbo at the bottom of the bag waiting for disposal. Mystery solved. Quote Link to comment
+4x4 Trail Busters Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 No, the people said they carry dead batteries for a reason, not like they forgot to take out batteries from the pack from a prior cache hunt. I don't think the mystrey is solved, not yet! Read the response carefully. HE said they carry them for a reason... So what exactly is the reason? Quote Link to comment

According to this reply, when asked what he carries in his bag, he replied dead bateries because they were old batteries from prior cache hunts that were just thrown in and made their way to the bottom.

+rusty_tlc Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Thats what he says now, maybe he's trying to cover up the truth. Did you ever think of that? Quote Link to comment

That doesn't sound like a very good explaination, BUT, if that's the story I'll leave it at that. Just not satisfied with it. Quote Link to comment
+SBPhishy Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 It seems like the people did "forget" to take them out of their bags. They had them in there, never got around to throwing them away, now they sit in their bag. There is no reason that I see. Quote Link to comment
scoutsout Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 ... when the question was asked what is in your bag, he said they are. No big deal... The whole reason for carrying the batteries was to be able to have people ask what they are for... it worked! Quote Link to comment
Major Catastrophe Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I've seen a few caches that contain AA batteries amongst the swag, just the thing for an overworked GPSr. I think he's carrying the dead batteries so he'll have something to trade for the new ones!! Quote Link to comment
+CTgeocacher (CTg) Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 The whole thing’s a big conspiracy! Watch out, there’s hidden meaning! Quote Link to comment
