GPS receivers were far less sophisticated when we started in 2006. Our first 3 units were all Etrex Legends which were quite accurate. I got into the practice of taking 3 readings for each hide we placed. After each reading I walk 20′ away and then go back and take the next. After the last reading I walk away and then walk back. Then I see which one is closest to the hide and use that one. We have 3 different units now that will all average waypoints. but I have found that to be no more accurate than my method so I still do it the same we. Our hides have a reputation of being very accurate.

I was going to make  comment, but then realized I don’t have a strong opinion on this. My stand is usually that there are so many caches to find just go look for what you like. No one will ever find them all. There has been a lot of criticism in my area this winter about caches being winter friendly or not. Who finds that many in Wisconsin in the winter anyway? Cachers here are asking that all caches have either the WF or NON WF attribute put on them. I’m getting a little off topic, but in response to the original question I hide what fits the spot and I don’t hide just because I can. Other than our Silo Series most of our hides are in the woods or on trails of some sort.

 

283 micros

118 small

56 regular

57 other (I love to do that)

21 not chosen (not sure how that happened)

4 large

539 hides

Sorry for venting more than commenting.

As far as micros in the woods keep ’em knee high or higher.

I stand within 1 foot of the container. I would guess that 98% of the hiders also do.

WOW! I did it. Maybe some day I will learn how to post pictures.
