+ADKer Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 People have started to ask me what I want for Christmas this year. I'm thinking along the lines of geocaching, but I can't think of anything specific that I want. So, what do you guys think? What is on a geocacher's Christmas list? Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Depends on the gps you have but additional maps, rechargeable NiMH batteries, travel bugs, PM extension, walking stick, ammo cans, parks pass, signature item made, snacks, new backpack, safety gear, new hiking boots, so in other words all kinds of things.

+niraD Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 How about a 528ft/161m radius that's free of other geocaches, that's centered around a nice spot for me to hide a geocache of my own? I received a trackable walking stick for Christmas a few years ago, but now I already have one so I don't need another. Others might prefer a trackable name tag (for events), or a trackable T-shirt, or a trackable vehicle decal, or some other trackable geocaching item. Quote Link to comment

I see that you don't have a TB tattoo. Why not get one for Christmas, designed by those asking what you want? Now, that is one present that would stay with you for all time... It would certainly be different! Not your run-of-the-mill present, eh? Quote Link to comment

+Chrysalides Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 What kind of geocaching do you like? What do you already have? What's the budget? Anyway, thought you might find this thread amusing : http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=58601 Quote Link to comment

Anyway, thought you might find this thread amusing : http://forums.Ground...showtopic=58601 Well, I've got my trusty eTrex 20. The problem is, I've been caching for three years now, and there's nothing that I wish I had! So I'd like to hear what others want/recommend. We can ignore budget for now. For the record, I live in the Adirondack Mountains in New York. And yes, I've seen that thread before! Quote Link to comment

+Isonzo Karst Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 For me, it's always the same -----> ammo cans. I'm a prolific hider, and need cans to replace cans, as well as new for new hides. Forestry tries to burn everything, including my ammo cans, every three years, and mostly succeed. At this point, I do have some burnt cans out with plastic containers inside. Last Christmas below, Merry Merry (the center stack was Christmas, I already owned the 5 flanking cans) Quote Link to comment
+ras_oscar Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 How about personalized pathtags? Personalized swag? wooden nickles? I use to drop poker chips with my geoname added with stickers. now that I think of it, I need to get me some more..... How about asking what you're getting ME for Christmas Quote Link to comment
+geodarts Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) I have enough stuff. A trip to Easter Island for the earthcaches there would be a good present; I would even consider a trip to Pitcairn Island for a couple of traditionals to be an equally good gift. These days, when asked what I want for any gift giving event, I simply say "an adventure." So really, it does not have to be so far away or involve anything other than a virtual.

+jellis Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Money to travel to out of the way places to cache or a new vehicle. But don't think that will be happening. A ladder and a 20ft pole Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 ... a new vehicle. ... A ladder and a 20ft pole Why not both? Quote Link to comment
+lamoracke Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Minus money to travel I would like my own personal traveling benchmark, like one of my caching friends has. Quote Link to comment
