Ahhhh!!! Seppos and guns - you gotta love it. Seriously though, why would ANYONE purchase, make or otherwise get a geocoin just to blast it away? I suppose there are plenty of "Good Ol' Boys" out there now just itching to prove you can put 3 bullets through a coin or see how many shotgun pellet indentations you can count, or ..... <P>

Their crime statistics indicate that you don't have to upset anyone to be in the firing line.!mike wrote:Someone asked "how thick would it have to be" and my instant thought was "about as thick as the person asking the question" but I thought if I said that and ever visited yank land (God forbid) I might be in the firing line...

I loved that threadDamo. wrote:Well another thread they had there was "(what) do you carry when Caching" asking how many people take a gun with them.
One guy said that if he was to be confronted by a cougar in the mountains, he would rather have a gun in his hand than a GPS!!
I guess in Aussie land we don't have the same kind of animal threats - unless a wombat sneeks up onya and goes for the throat.

Depends on what part of Aus you are in, I was always very careful when fishing in the tropics, those big old nasty swampgeckos(crocs) have a mean bite.... and a .303 rifle would make a nice backup to the GPSpprass wrote:I loved that threadDamo. wrote:Well another thread they had there was "(what) do you carry when Caching" asking how many people take a gun with them.

The following is a recent (not found!) uneditted log from a cache in the US I have a watch on:
"Gladly to take this upside down, had figured the puzzle out awhile back and was just waiting for when we were in the area. When I got to the parking area I had it to myself, just figured I would slip in and get a quick one. But I was wrong, when I got within just over 200 ft. something told me to look back. That's when I spotted the crack heads from the hood trying to slip up on me. They were up to no good, not dressed for the area if you know what I mean. They had spotted someone alone from out of town and figured they would get a quick one, but that's where they were wrong. I put my bag down and got my buddy out, they seen this and stopped, then it became a waiting game. Finally they turned and went back to the parking area and it was another waiting game. I was so nervous that my mouth had went dry, luckily someone pulled up across the way and I made my way back. When I got back it was exactly as I thought a bunch of punks from the hood, there was no confrontation thanks to whoever it was that had pulled up or what I had in my hand.
From looking at the logs this is a safe cache, this was just bad luck and bad judgment own my part DON'T CACHE ALONE !!!!"
Do you take your buddy (translation anyone?) with you when you are caching?
