Re: Cache contents what do you leave and why?

After seeing my first couple of caches I began putting some thought into what could be used in them. I have a small container of tiny toys and trinkets for swaps now and I have the philosophy of looking at a cache and then thinking what addition or swap would improve the variety and value of the tot...

Re: Unfortunate first geocaching experience

No, I'll have it with me if I'm on public land where its legal to do so. Besides, leaving it unattended is actually illegal. Should add that the chances of me bumping into another geocacher while I have my rifle is fairly slim, reason being that we're not allowed to carry it loaded while on tracks o...

Re: Where are we all from??? (introduce yourself) parts 1&2

Heh, thanks for the tipoff Zalgariath. I'm still new and far from confident enough to place my first caches. Should add though that 'hunting'...more like poaching :evil: occurs in many areas where legit hunters aren't allowed to go. Our licences and firearms are at stake if we endanger the public, w...

Re: Unfortunate first geocaching experience

I've taken up geoacaching as an alternative hobby for when the hunting is sparse...one piece of advice I'd give is to keep doing something you are allowed to do legally rather than shy away for fear of offending someone. To preemptively avoid doing something would be to encourage the notion that wha...

Hi, Simon here. Got introduced to geocaching by a buddy; we are both keen hunters and shooters and would love something inanimate to track down when the game is scarce :) Loving it already.

Re: Unfortunate first geocaching experience

I just had to step out last night and attempt two caches just to end the day on a happier note....and got both without being noticed. I won't let the first experience turn me off just yet and I'm actually pretty stoked at finding my third cache, since its not one that is recommended for newbies and ...

Re: Unfortunate first geocaching experience

Well yeah, as a beginner I went for an easy cache. Thanks for the assurance though. Hope he doesn't start fretting over future geocachers going to the location.

Unfortunate first geocaching experience

Thought I would quietly nip out and find my first cache - that would be First Name Basis : Wallace near the town of Wallace in VIC. I must stress that this is absolutely no fault of previous geocachers or its creater. I went alone. As the grass was long on either side of the road and I didn't want t...
