I got an e-mail today that my Wolf Cache had been chewed up by a bear. So I went to find it and it does indeed have very large teeth marks in the cover, the container was smashed and the contents scattered. So what was the bear after? Apparently the Playdough since that had been eaten. A very hungry bear! So remember, when in wild and woodsy places and the cache is a plastic Lock and Lock, leave the Playdough (and anything else that might taste or smell good) at home. Thanks! :eek:
wow that is something I never would of considered. I dont put playdough in caches my self but wouldnt have ever thought of it being a bad thing however. That musta been one hungry bear!
Hmmmmm.... Wolf vs bear. Is that something like rock, paper, scissors?
:confused::confused:
Mmmmmmmmmmm, Play-Doh - almost as good as paste!
Anything with smell should not really be left in any cache. There used to be a lot of people leaving auto air fresheners in caches, which seem to be one of the few things I am sensitive to. And after sitting idle in an ammo box for 2 months, when you open it, it's like a stink bomb!
Not sure if air fresheners attract animals, but foods and Play-Doh do! I've seen popcorn, candy bars, peanuts, scented candles, bubble gum and more in caches. I really think this has improved - not sure it it's because people are realize there is an issue or people are just leaving less anyway.
Have you ever tried to put anything in a film can? :D:DQuote:

The allergy piece is a great thought - and another reason to put in the cache page what the container really is. A recycled/reused peanut butter jar could be a letal cache container to a child who has a serious peanut allergy. Just a thought here.
Nice thread kayakingloon - good reminder!
We've thought about getting a pathtag. We like my stolen WhereRWe? avatar on one side, but we're trying to find an appropriate caricature for RULost2? for the other side.Quote:

How about a caricature of Theresa sliding down a hill.......:)
It might be a little tough to capture the look she had in her eyes;)Quote:

Yeah, Bruce showed amazing agility at that cache. He's a crazy man when going after tree caches! See the logs at GC2D6T3.:D

Thanks for mentioning this..we carry our epi even in the woods for just this reason (not to mention the the assortment of candy we too have found in caches).Quote:
