YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
Geocaching
So I was thinking - Geocaching. Could it be useful in an outbreak?
Of course true geocaching is limited to those who have the means to geolocate (i.e. have some kind of GPS equipment) and would only work as long as the GPS sattelites maintain orbit. But could we take some of the core ideas of geocaching and use it to create a network of hard (i.e. pen+paper) communication points and supply sharing across the country?
My idea is this. Each "cache" would contain a list of other known caches, a logbook/diary for survivors to write down a note, and a "message board" for more multi-way communications.
Thoughts?

That's about the sum of it! If you ever wanted to search for lost treasure as a kid this is kinda your chance :-P plus the opportunity to get your name down on that list is a little achievement :-)
Some caches are easy to find, some much harder. My best suggestion is just give it a go. Look on the website for your nearest caches and gofind them. You'll need either a portable GPS, or a smartphone with GPS like an iPhone or most Android phones. Oh, and something to leave in the cache. If you're not sure what I think the website has lists of whats been found in caches. Maybe donate a copy of World War Z? ;-)
