Discrimination I say icon_biggrin.gif icon_twisted.gif , for those of us who have less than 2 unfound caches within 100kms from we should get bonus points for every cache we have to travell for icon_biggrin.gif icon_twisted.gif aah - The plight of the country cacher, Like other country cachers I to...

For those that weren't in last years comp, here are 2 GSAK macros that sort caches suitable for the competition 1) Highest point count: #***************************** # Set Usort field to typical points # A Zytheran Macro for the Fleet to Federation Competition # You will need to make the Usort fiel...

Is there any way to tell who is talking????

Am listening with keen interest,
Some voices have a pronounced echo - not sure it its my machine though.
Anyone else experience something similar?

The increasing cost of fuel has not yet affected our caching trips. What it does affect is other aspects of our travelling, We now avoid staying in caravan parks ($20.00 to 30.00 per night) We camp bush wherever possible. We avoid buying take away food, counter meals,ice creams, coffee and cake etc....

Strategy has already started :D :D Several high value, high country caches we were going to find this easter are now on hold until may :twisted: Like last years comp, it appears that cachers with high find counts will need to do ALOT of travelling to get high points. Looking forward to the adventure...

Looking forward to this comp :D :D :D No river too deep or Mountain too high for this team :twisted: :twisted: Especially in Alpine Victoria where for the next few years most ridges and valleys have been cleared of dense scrub :D :D BTW - My cache "Above You only Sky" still remains unfound after onl...

15 for me, I don't run into bears or rattlesnakes too often where I walk. :D I would love to see a Tassie Tiger on one of my Tassie walks though, That would be news. (Maybe next month???) Biggest dangers I find in the scrub is entanglement with scrub and possible breaking a leg, or dislodging a loos...

Even the more extreme bushwalking caches from the likes of Derringer get a fraction of the cachers other easier to get to caches get. And all that requires is walking and the ability to camp Simplifying things a bit, I believe. There are many skills required to walking in remote off track areas. Li...

Most of 2007 will be taken up replacing caches lost in the Vic Alps due to fires. Lots of walking and 4wd'ing planned. :D Corner Country and Innamincka is beckoning in July with Innes Rocky High our goal for a Tasmanian bushwalk in March. To all cachers, have a Happy, Healthy and prosperous 2007. :D...

Well done to Steve, Sbalogh53 on his FTF on my cache "Razor Blade" :D :D :D :D He discovered the sting in the tail - and surmounted the problem using the same ridge I have walked. With the lack of water in the area at present, and its increasing rarity over summer, this cache should currently be rat...

We have planted 1500 trees on our property
That should keep us "in the green " for a while

We use 1 and 2 litre water bladders extensively whilst out walking For drinking bladders you can buy from Bushwalking shops a cleaning kit, which has a couple of brushes. one brush is to clean the drinking tube - it resembles a brush you clean rifle barrels with, but is mounted on flexible wire. The...

I also recommend the Princeton Tec EOS headlamp.
I use it for all my Night geocaching and rogaining.

The only other torch that comes close to it is the Petzl XP headlamp
which has a slide across the lens diffuser for use in tents etc, when a beam isn't required
(Meredith has an XP)

Came across this website today. http://www.geochecker.com/ With the increasing cost of fuel, getting the co-ords wrong on puzzle caches/etc can be expensive. You can email/phone the owner for confirmation, but if you are like us, we are more often out and about (and out of mobile range) than in. Quo...
