Hey, apparently you can log DNF poins now without even getting to ground zero because it’s too hard to get there! Man, I gotta get back into the game!

Next maint run. . . ZIP TIES!!
Great idea…keeps them from simply untwisting the wire. Won’t solve cutting the zip tie though. 👿
On the Left Side of the Road...All those B&M-ing about gamesmanship weren’t around for the days of maintenance points and “pencillettes.” 😯
When you think about it, Lonely Cache Game problems are pretty good First World Problems to have, eh?
On the Left Side of the Road...If you mean in Wisconsin, cemetery hides require proof of permission to the reviewer when submitting them, unlike in the olden days when it was just assumed you had gotten it. So that has cut down significantly on new placements.

On the Left Side of the Road...I’m trying to figure out how some cachers “signed the log” on that one in November…. 🙄
On the Left Side of the Road...Allow me to preempt the usual cabal…
Don’t tell me how to play the game!…It’s just a game…It’s not a competition…Sunshine and puppy dogs are the things that really matter…
😛
On the Left Side of the Road...Can’t wait to see what they do in the second half of the month….

If this helps, use ‘touchscreen gloves’ such as these:
I was trying to figure out how this aromatherapy neck wrap was going to help me with a touch screen…The reason it’s called the “daily deal” is that it changes daily. 😯 😆
On the Left Side of the Road...Chopper mittens with thin glove liners.
Allows you to keep the mittens on most of the time but quickly manipulate your GPSr when you need to. That presumes that your GPSr has buttons or a pressure screen rather than one that needs a conductive touch to operate.
Could just be a brown jersey glove or something similar. You’re just looking for something that avoids exposing your skin to the air for the brief period of time they are out of the chopper mitt.
If that doesn’t work for you, I’d go with just the chopper mitt. Your hand will obviously get colder when you need to pull it out of the mitt, but it will warm back up when you put it back in, unlike a glove.
You can toss hand warmers in your mitt if you want but I try to avoid them because they provide a false sense of warmth and/or generate hot spots. Better to dress for the weather.
Remember that cold fingers (and toes) can also be the result of a cold core. As your core gets cold it pulls blood back from the extremities. So if you have good gloves/mitts but still have icy cold fingers (when you have them in the mitts, that is), reassess your clothing, especially your headgear. As the saying goes, if your feet are cold, put on a hat.
On the Left Side of the Road...I believe it’s incumbent on the trackable owner to label the trackable and there’s not much a CO can do.
There’s certainly no harm in adding trackable verbiage to your stash note, but let’s face it, non-cachers who find a box by accident aren’t likely to get deep into the details of a stash note or figure out the difference between swag and trackables if they look the same on the surface.
Therefore, in addition to the dog tag, I would always include a laminated card with DO NOT KEEP ME in red text on one side and a description on the other.
Coins are a different animal and, while you can put them in a sleeve with similar verbiage, they’re more likely to walk away IMO–but probably more likely to walk away with geocaching coin thieves than by accident.

There are caches we will not do because we do not agree with their placement. We don’t feel compelled to clean the map.
Sorry, I read the OP incorrectly…

On the Left Side of the Road...It looks like they’re in Presque Isle, but the outsource subscription processing to some outfit in Iowa. Not unusual especially for a startup.
I’m surprised to see a print magazine start, however. Starting a print magazine is exceedingly difficult in today’s market. Even without paying writers, which seems to be the case with this mag (which tells you what kind of content quality you may be looking at), the economics of print media are very tough.
