Hi, I'm okay with a compass, but not fabulous. So, if it's simple directions ("walk 40 paces NNE," for example), I'm fine. If it's going to get technical...
I think the compass adds something to the "hunt". I like it best when there are both compass bearings and trail information (such as: head 330 degrees (or...
Hi there, RE: Compass useage. We love it. It adds another demension. However, we still like a clue or two such as the "big tree" or the "fallen down stone...
Last Saturday 4/25 went on hunt of the Nelson County, VA Letterbox with my daughter. After a 1 to 1.5 mile uphill hike, she found it. The last entry was August...

I am interested in experiences from both placers and finders of boxes in very small containers (e.g. film canisters). Thx Randy PS - as to the compass...
Hello, Randy I have been using the 35mm canisters in a few of my micoboxes, but I think they really limit your contents. You might warn fellow 'boxers to bring...
I like to carry a compass even if the clues don't call for one. A compass can be handy to have at times. I like clues for boxes to include some use of the...

I did put the box back out, but I will check on it. It has a tendency to get pushed down so it's difficult to see and near impossible to reach. Depending on...
