Geocaching
alone is the subject for the one-hundred ninety-seventh edition of
the GeoGearHeads.
DudleyGrunt,
nativtxn,
The Bad Cop, and
DarrylW4 talk through some of the considerations when hitting
the trail solo. The conversation was framed by feedback from
a^shark,
Thavia,
DuneBuddy, gnies (and
his log on
GC4WYZX), brilang,
Limax,
2eTango,
Carrot Killer,
yellowjeeperman, jcoreyc,
Giraffe015, Team
Pugatch, and
J6family. Some tools for sharing location the panel suggested
were Glympse, Waze, SPOT, and DeLorme inReach. DudleyGrunt
and nativtxn suggested a few items to makes sure to carry, expanded
from a list by
American Hiking Society. DarrylW4 also mentioned his Automatic as his way to tell where
he parked (and much more).
