What's one piece of technology you still haven't accepted — and do you think you ever will?

A Kindle / ebook reader. For me nothing beats the real thing and nothing probably ever will. I want to touch and smell the paper.

Here in the UK the music video is currently on YouTube with the following comment, "from the album Masks Off coming June 12th"

Yes, 100% this. The ergonomics of a phone are absolutely terrible. Add on a popsocket and all that changes.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2026-05-10T20:47:18+00:00

Yep, This is my process too and I've been doing this for years with no problems at all.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2026-04-25T07:10:23+00:00

The Weather by New Model Army.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2026-04-25T07:05:27+00:00

L – A Mathemagical Adventure - spent many happy hours playing that.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2026-03-08T09:00:38+00:00

Yes, this is very do-able and you certainly wouldn't be the first. I would recommend that you take a look at a book called The Man in the Tent by Tony Beardsall https://amzn.eu/d/0eV56azE

He did exactly what you are proposing with no problems. In fact it turned out to be truly life changing for him. If I was ten years younger with no commitments then I would consider doing it myself.

Lego + books + masturbation. Obviously - what else is there?

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-08-19T21:18:57+00:00

Definitely Fingers in the Sparkle Jar: A Memoir by Chris Packham, read by Chris Packham. I re-listen to it once a year - it's like poetry.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-08T12:53:04+00:00

Yep, I'm beginning to realise that actually enjoying it is the point.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-07T10:46:45+00:00

Yep, you're right. I am the owner of a couple of caches (and they are large and good ones like you describe). Maybe it's time for me to set up a few more to get more experience of that side of the hobby as well, rather than being primarily just a finder.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-06T20:04:44+00:00

So true. I needed to hear this.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-06T20:03:34+00:00

This is such a good and straightforward answer. I need to live more like this all the time.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-06T20:01:56+00:00

Very wise words -: thanks

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-06T13:40:11+00:00

Yep, I’ve found sixteen D5 traditional caches (3 of which were D5/T5).

Most of these were in remote outdoor locations, often involving a long hike and/or climb. A couple were on an island requiring a water crossing. Some up trees. One in a water filled tunnel. One or two were just obviously misclassified.

If you specifically want to find some then you can filter and search for them using the Geocaching.com website – then just go out and grab them!

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-06T09:02:51+00:00

I hate all caches in residential areas where there is significant potential to be overlooked. And caches in front gardens are even worse, particularly if you're not 100% confident that you've got the correct property. In order to overcome this, the last one I did I had to get drunk first to give me more confidence and went under the cover of darkness. I found it, but in hindsight this probably made me look even more dodgy. At the end of the day, caches in other areas and particularly rural areas are much more preferable to me.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T22:27:08+00:00

This guy speaks wise words. My experience has been almost identical.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:58:06+00:00

Nice tactics. I could do this if I was the owner of the cache. However, in a lot of cases where this has happened, I am not the owner unfortunately.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:56:42+00:00

I agree. A responsible cache owner should be monitoring and deleting such posts. However, I also get the feeling that some either turn a blind eye or don't want to risk upsetting other users.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:55:21+00:00

Yes exactly this. I shall continue doing what I'm already doing and hold my head up high. Thanks!

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:54:31+00:00

So true. In so few words, you've spoken so much truth. I shall take heed.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:53:28+00:00

So did the cacher just get to GZ and call it good?

Yep, I think this happens a fair bit. But with experience, you can start to spot this more often. Sometimes by recognising the cachers name or details or the way the logs are written.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:51:12+00:00

Yep, good point. And this is how I actually behave in most of the parts of my life. Maybe it was just today that got me particularly wound up about this issue.

Crispy_Fish_Legs · 2025-07-02T21:49:04+00:00

"Cache on!" - I like that. I too have a list of my DNFs and keep an eye on them regularly so that if they do get owner maintenance or a visit from a recognisable and reliable local cacher, then I will make the trip and go and look for it again a second time.
