  • Another fun listen. I’m glad you guys keep putting these on.

    If anything, I’m glad my unconventional cache got people talking. It’s nice to find something different.

    If you’re looking for a new cacher to join you, you should ask TheNinjaJedi and Lexamazoo. They only started caching in September but they’re hooked and go out almost every day off. They’ve got 10 hides already as well.

    By the way Rev, I’d still like to borrow your chest waders if you don’t mind, there’s a cache I’d like to hide once I get over pneumonia.

  • Great podcast, really enjoyed it on my way to a job in Shediac River and back today. Thanks for putting these together!

  • This is actually the first pod cast that i have listened to fully. i was pleased to see the discussion around my toast eater event. had to laugh a little too. Yes, it was a movember event, but i couldnt say that on the cache page. we shaved off the moustaches off of 8 toaster eaters. The team raised more than $1500 for prostate cancer.

    For those wondering, a toaster eater is a term reserved for people who are so tough/fearless, that they dont eat toast for breakfast, they eat toasters. Ken of TeamNewfieTrio was the first, and there have been many more since. I entered the ranks of the toaster eaters after my climb of Mount Kahtadin 🙂

  • I just downloaded and started listening to this episode. It will be my first one but I am enjoying it. It was fun to hear the story about Zor’s cache that I thought I was first to find. Looking forward to finishing this episode. Can’t wait for more.
