Ever since the 2011 Geocaching Block Party, geocachers worldwide come together for a day of celebration and smileys on the third Saturday of each August. This holiday is just one of the many quirks that make the global geocaching community so endearing. This year, we celebrate the amazing biodiversity of our planet. Can we count you in on the 12th anniversary of this special occasion?

One of the many things geocachers have in common is a love of getting outdoors and exploring all throughout the year. The natural world can be an unpredictable place, so it’s important to be as prepared as possible to ensure you have a great time!

Glued and sewed a larger piece of gear repair tape to add fidelity to the ripped edge: Then sewed the rip itself with fishing line (the strongest thing I could think of to hold the weight of the bag's contents, plus I just happened to have it at home:

As of this post, I've been using it for a week, and it's held up pretty well. I may add some sealant later to hold things in place.

Now all that's left to do is replace a missing zipper pull and fix some rodent damage to the front compartment... I may post about that at a later time

Just printed myself some passports for a GeoTour in British Columbia's southern gulf islands -- 14 caches, can't wait! Anyone here have a favourite GeoTour they completed? What did it involve?

I've browsed a bunch of recent threads about more niche communities which people are hoping to grow. Which is awesome, and I've subscribed to a bunch of them... with the result that I now still barely have new content in my feed, because most are at only a few new posts a month.

What are your favourite small or medium-sized, but active communities you've found on Lemmy?

The hide was quite subtle... can you guess which one it was in?

The small rip was patched with gear repair tape, then sewn over. The larger rip will probably be my next project... any recommendations to make sure it holds?
