Keeping your GPS equipment software up to date.

Re-use Your Zip Lock Bags
When I'm geo-caching with the E-Team up in the North Georgia Mountains, It is most of the time a day long Hike, and often over night. In cool weather
and some times for cooking we need a fire.
The Tip:
When lunch around the campsite is done, save the
empty plastic and ziplock food bags and fill them with dry tinder, kindling and twigs.
It's and easy way to collect and keep some dry
fire-starter, in case a storm rolls in and soaks the forest or your wood pile at night.

I've found powering my USB powered hand held GPSr and GPS Nuvi a clumsy sloppy ordeal until I found a power nub and retractable power cable.

The cord that came with my GPSr and nuvi is so long and I have to coil, twist and tuck to keep is neat from getting entangled in everything. But with a dual mini USB plug power port and retractable power cord, everything pulls up nice and neat.


Dual Port: $12-17 @ amazon.com



Single port: less than $1 @ amazon.com



Single port: less than $8 @ amazon.com



Power Cord: less than $1 @ amazon.com


Beats a $35 Garmin cable that's too long.
