- Jim, for your information, it clearly states in the first paragraph that knives are not allowed. See rules below. Cache Contents Use your common sense in most cases. Explosives, fireworks, ammo, lighters, knives (including pocket knives and multi-tools), drugs, alcohol or other illicit material shouldn't be placed in a cache. As always respect the local laws. Geocaching is a family activity and cache contents should be suitable for all ages. Food items are always a bad idea. Animals have better noses than humans, and in some cases caches have been chewed through and destroyed because food items (or items that smell like food) are in the cache. Even the presence of mint flavored dental floss has led to destruction of one cache. If the original cache contents list any of the above items or other questionable items, or if a cache is reported to have the questionable items, the cache may be disabled, and the owner of the cache will be contacted and asked to remove the questionable items before the cache is enabled. -----Original Message----- From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Bensman Sent: Monday, February 15, 2010 9:26 AM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Question about a trackable and what's safe in a cache - I think the rules should be absolutely clear on if a knife is allowed in a cache. Then there is no debate. Personally, I do not think they should be.
