Saw this blog post and started wondering; Why don’t people log DNFs? I tend to always log a DNF. Of course there are exceptions, like constant interruptions in a busy area or it start chucking it down with rain less then a minute into the search....

Twenty-four satellites around the globe processed their new orders, and instantly the accuracy of GPS technology improved tenfold. Tens of thousands of GPS receivers around the world had an...

This ammo can is the final stop for a multi, which I started on back in 2021. The clues for the final are in an easily accessible, urban area. But once I put them all together, the final was fully 10km away, on a hike part way up a mountain! I had the final saved to my phone and ignored for a long time before finally heading out...
