Daveyboy Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Been looking at the FAQs and postings.. have figured out most acronyms.. but what is a BFL? Thanks... :-) Quote
+DeerChaser & Company Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Don't know. How about "before long"? Rino 110 MeriGreen 128 Quote
+Bill D (wwh) Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Can you give us a link or links to where you've seen it? But if it's Dagg's log on 'Wet Feet' by Emanuel, then I've no idea. That's a very cryptic log. For anyone who's interested, it just reads 'GPS BFL FRS BEER TNLN DAGG'. TNLN is 'took nothing left nothing' and I know what beer is but the rest's a mystery. Bill Quote

FallenFaery Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 FRS-Family Radio Service/system? So far on google I've got BFL: Bassing Fishing League, Baptist for Life, Birds in Forested Landscapes, belgian american football league, Brackenridge Field Laboratory, Body-for-Life, Berkeley Futures Limited, Back Focal Length, Beamforming Lens, Big Fat Liar, Bomb Fall Line, Break For Lunch, But none of those seemed to related to Geocaching...So i'm really no help Quote
+Bill D (wwh) Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 It's some sort of bright torch or flash lamp - it may even be 'bright flash light'. See this thread. Bill Quote
+OzzieSan Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Here are a couple possibilities. http://www.bfl.org/ or http://www.flwoutdoors.com/bfl/index.cfm? or even http://www.bfl-online.de/ Just remember. Getting there is half the fun... Quote
Daveyboy Posted April 21, 2003 Author Posted April 21, 2003 LOL.. some good suggestions, thanks folks. I guess "flash-light" is good enough. Have ask one of the posters. Quote
+MissJenn Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 If you are stumped on any names for any of your caches, here are several excellent possibilities: each one is better than just the default "Geocache"! quote:Originally posted by Fallenfaery:So far on google I've got BFL: Bassing Fishing League, Baptist for Life, Birds in Forested Landscapes, belgian american football league, Brackenridge Field Laboratory, Body-for-Life, Berkeley Futures Limited, Back Focal Length, Beamforming Lens, Big Fat Liar, Bomb Fall Line, Break For Lunch, You must be present to win.

Peregrine007 Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Seems the only real BFLers are us here on Vancouver Island, Canada. BFL, for you unenlightened ones, is a big freakin' light. Given with much generosity to most of the Victoria-area cachers by Team KFWB GPS. As for Dagg's log: Most people here should know what a GPS is, also an FRS, and hopefully you know what BEER is! Maybe you just gotta be one of us hard-core cachers... Quote

+Team Paubon Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 Maybe a night time cache and Bring Flash Light? Quote
Jomarac5 Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 The BFL has also been generously given to several Vancouver area night cachers by Team KFWB GPS as well. THIS... is a BFL: ----- Quote
+coast2coast2coast Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 A BFL is a "Big Flash Light" or "Big Freakin Light"...Thanx KFWB, I got mine 2 weeks ago! Quote
+MountainMudbug Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 That is one BIG freakin' light! Cool Quote

The Big Kid Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 A little BFL envy, I believe DBBFL would be the appropriate acronym for the Wino's pic. Double Barreled BFL. This would only be a guess as I have not yet graduated above my own BFL, but, if I had to bet, that would be it. Some of the other Victoria Cachers would know for sure. There is a thread( I would link to it, but I'm not 'puter literate), in the Canada forum where DAGG explains all FL acronyms. Quote
Peregrine007 Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 Yup, that is indeed a DBBFL - Double Barreled BFL. Here's the link to all of the BFL nomenclature: FL's explained Quote
damian007 Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 I'll have to get a new one... Cause I have a BFL. "Buggered/Busted F#$@ing Light.. If You See Kay, Tell her to come home.... Damian Mueller damian007@optusnet.com.au Quote
+Dagg Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 Interesting post Damian007....Hmmm As for the lights in question, I have a BFL CBFL & a DBBFL. My fav is most definitely the CBFL It weighs the same as the BFL but is twice as bright! Perfect for signaling the mother ship Quote
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 Well, now that you all solved the BFL issue, can someone explain to me what "WTF" means? Oh, never mind. My kid just explained it... I've never been so embarassed. RedwoodRed How much red would a redwood red if a redwood could red wood? Quote
+Team Paubon Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 OK SO PLEASE TELL ME what do those letters mean? Quote
