This post for sure encouraged me to log DNFs. I less feel inadequate now. Otoh, when you have a cache when so many others post a “Trivial find”, logging a DNF really looks like “I am soo stupid”, which no one wants to say.

Well like it has been it tells more than just you not finding the cache, To me it serves to spur me on to find the rotten little bliter, the longer it sits on GSAK the more i feel the need to go find it..

DNF seems to be huge humiliation today. Many places where nobody has search long time, you can still found large areas with huge “geo erosion”. DNF is not humiliation, it’s tells caches state this moment or then when you have searched it. There should not be any shame. There is lots of people who not logs dnf’s. They invent different stories why they don’t write dnf logs. “You have to search cache over 30 minutes or even 1 hour. After that you can log dnf, not before that.” Many cachers seems to be make “own” rules what suits to be best for him or her. DNF not make any cacher worse than other. Everybody has great moments and bad moments. Sometimes you can’t see cache what is not even hide. Some rules changes make this hobby more competition against other cachers and statistics should be nice to watch. It’s affects many cachers, even those who deny it. Human race is competitor.

I try to log the DNF’s with some insight of what I did to find the cache, So the cache owner might have a better clue if it’s there or not, hate the people who log one to say it’s not there, just to go out and check and it’s still there
