After the previous Geocaching Worst Case Scenario #3 was taken over
by cutthroat highly trained wasp vigilantes it became necessary to
archive the cache to prevent any future cachers the horror of
lifting the skirt and facing their worst fear.
For historical purposes I will list the content of the original
GWCS #3 here:
In an effort to aid in the preparedness of Geocachers, I have
created the Worst Case Scenario Geocaching series. This series will
highlight the neccesary tools every geocacher should carry with
them.
Featured tool: Candle
Scenario #1 After a grueling 6 mile hike you arrive at the cache
sight, find the cache and go to sign the log, when you notice that
you forgot to pack your pen and the cache doesn't have one. What
should you do?
Answer: Take a twig and burn it by lighting it on fire, then by
putting it out by sticking it in the dirt. Now use the charred
wood, which is dark, to sign your John Hancock in the logbook.
Scenario #2 You are on a 24 hour cache run. After eating
entirely too many gas station burgers with extra jalapenos your
body is starting to release built up gas. Your caching pals are
threating to drop you off at the next cache unless the smell eases
up. You have some peppermint oil in your pocket. What should you
do?
Answer: Light your candle and wait for a pool of wax to form.
Then blow it out, quickly drop a few drops of your peppermint oil
into the wax adn relight. (Never add oil to a lit candle!)
Scenario #3 You find a film canister for the second waypoint on
a multi you are doing laying on the ground. You can see where it
should have been attatched but alas you don't have any glue on your
person. What should you do?
Answer: Use your candle to slowly melt the tree pitch (the stickly
globs on the branch) Apply the melted pitch while it's hot and,
when it cools, it will act as a nice adhesive.
Do not attmept to access this cache from the freeway, there is a
large fence topped with barbwire and you won't be able to get to it
anyway. The cache is not located in any building.
