Signature items

How do you know if you've been "touched by a geek?" For those who care, here are my signature items to date...

ButtonButtonMy first signature item was a semi-custom 2.25" button from Bumblebuttons (I ordered the "day" button, but Vicky inadvertently made me "night" buttons, so I wound up with both designs for the price of one!). I primarily had these made for friends and family -- you're not too likely to run across one of these "in the wild."

Bumblebuttons also threw in these matching 1" buttons for free with my 2.25" buttons; I've been putting an "rsgeek" sticker on the back of these when I drop them in caches.

Subsequently, Bumblebuttons made me a batch of fantastic 1" custom buttons; I've been putting an "rsgeek" sticker on the back of these as well. If you don't understand the joke, you'll want to read this.

I liked the "ALL YOUR CACHE" buttons so much that I'm now printing up some matching CITO can end-labels (I've already distributed dozens of CITO cans without end-labels, the new ones will be showing up in caches shortly).

 

Caches

My original cache cans were pretty pedestrian -- uncamoflaged, and with just a Geocaching.com sticker on the side. Since I've figured out how to make and use stencils, my caches are visually a bit more interesting. Most ammo can caches are now camoflage painted, and all have a stenciled identifier on one or both sides, as well as my own hinge-end logo (also stenciled). I've also started using mil surplus first aid boxes for smaller caches; these are just stenciled on the top.

My writeup on painting mil surplus cans has some good examples of what my more recent cache cans look like.
