I've been thinking about Exchanges lately and just heard of someone who
chooses to "only exchange on the trail" but not at events. Sounded
like an interesting idea to me. Your thoughts?

When you do use your personal stamp, do you sign your name? Or is this
part of the secret? I happen to like this mystery aspect of the hobby.

I have a mini sig stamp used for those oh-so-tiny logbooks out there.
It would be easy to use for exchanges...hmmmm...
Thanks, Randy! I like hearing some of the reasons for the different
choices people make. It helps me made decisions on how I'd like to
play the game.

While I understand and actually like Randy's approach, I do exchange.
I started the game rather a lot later and found that exchanges were a
good excuse for me to walk up to people and say hello. Now yes, I
could do that without the exchange, but it breaks the ice nicely,
especially for those of us who can be a bit shy at first and find
themselves in a new group of people who already know each other, lol.
You could always have an exchange stamp separate from your sig stamp
- I recently lost my sig stamp and am considering carving separate
stamps for Fs and Es.

I don't exchange at all. The personal stamp is to remain secret.
I do have a non-personal, non-traveler, non-anything that I
will use for exchanges when it is less of a hassle to use that
than explain my opinion on this to the other person :)

I had read in a book that some people have a stamp specifically for
exchanges and one for stamping letterboxes, so that is what I did. I
carved one for exchanging with others who desire to do so, and this
keeps my "trail" stamp secret for the letterboxes. I do sign my
trailname when I stamp in to the letterbox. I have also carved a tiny
stamp for those micro boxes you come across at times. But all my
stamps fit in two small candy tins, so it isn't as "bulky" as it may
sound.

I actually just started using a new stamp for stamping into boxes that will be used only for boxes. My old box stamp will continue to be used for trail exchanges, although that is quite rare around here. For gathering exchanges, I will begin using a different stamp for each gathering that I attend that will only be available for exchange at that particular gathering. I don't attend very many gatherings so it will only be a couple stamps a year.

I like that idea a lot. We've been using a family stamp but the family
is not as interested (and too busy with school and work during the
week) so I'm working on a sig stamp and trail name just for me. If I
do that, I think I'll continue to use the family stamp for exchanges
and keep my individual sig stamp more secret. I like the idea of
exchanges only done on the trail...but maybe something small and simple
(one color ink) could be used for gatherings. Hmmm...lots to think
about. SpringChick, your idea of different exchange stamps for each
events sounds like fun. People will be lining up at each event to
collect the new one!

Well I'm not sure about that, but it does give me a reason to carve up some of the images I've been squirreling away in a folder for *potential* sig stamps. I also noticed that at gatherings, particularly when you have been to several gatherings in your area and are using the same sig stamp year after year, you miss out on some of the exchange activity and mingling because most of the people there already have your stamp and vice versa. This is just my way of trying to keep it fresh and new.

See, I guess I can't even picture trail exchanges; how do you initiate

another boxer (let's call them 'Frogs With Things') had just been
there. So when we got back to the trailhead there was another couple
there, I started chatting with our three year-old, using the words
'Frogs with things' loudly enough for them to hear. No such luck.
Do you actually have to catch the other boxer at the box to know what
they're up to, out in the woods?

There are some tell-tale signs -- backpacks with LbNA logo patches, people stumbling around on the trail reading from a folded sheet of paper and of course inky fingers. Generally the few times I have run into other letterboxers on the trail (only a few times), they have been at the box or in the process of searching for it, looking very suspicious. My first trail exchange came about when I came past the point on the trail where I knew there was a letterbox (I had found it earlier) and there was an elderly woman just standing there looking off into the woods toward the place where the box as. I glanced back there and the rest of her family was huddled down around the box. It was pretty easy to surmise what they were up to, although grandma didn't really seem to know what they were doing. Another time I overheard a father and son team who were headed to the same box I was reading from the clues at each turn in the trail.
Some people use a catch-phrase question, something like which way is north and if the person answers a certain way, they are a letterboxer. I guess it wouldn't work with me because I'm not even sure of the question, let alone the answer. When I read about it on the list, I remember not really getting it so I guess that's probably why I don't remember. But hey, whatever works I guess.

You can always check backpacks for patches (AQ, LbNA, etc.) Not the definitive sign, but one that I have started to use. Not that there are many around here, but that sort of makes it a more challenging hunt, sort of like the boxes themselves. It is in the clues, I suppose.

LOL "Frogs With Things"-- now there's an homage that needs to be carved!
I've run into other boxers a few times AT a box. Met one family when they were at my box; met MizScarlet when I was stamping into HER box (sitting in my car minding my own business & all of a sudden this woman in a hat is knocking on my window. Scared the living daylights out of me). And another couple who were searching for the same box we were looking for--we just asked if they were letterboxers.
Then there was another couple (let's call them "Punk Panther & Black Swine")... I was coming down the trail from a box, they were coming up the trail--she & I were eyeing the cluesheets in each other's hand, we got just past each other & then both of us kind of circled around & stopped & said, "Are YOU....???" =)

I ran into "Frogs with Things"(I feel an homage comming on) on the trail a few weeks ago. I
had never met them but here was a woman tramping though the woods on week day
clutching a piece of paper and holding a compass, a dead give away.
I aways chat with people I meet on trail. If I think they might be boxers I just ask. If I get a
puzzled look and a "what's that?" I just say "oh it's just a game we're playing."

Hey how 'bout Logs with Bling?
Yeah that's just typical of boxers from LBMA when the rest of the list is debating some
esoteric thread we degenerate into puns, which I belive had been called the lowest form of
humor.
Wait, wait just one more-Wogs with strings!

I did see one group of Dutch letterboxers, they were hopping down the trail
at a greatly accelerated pace, thanks to their Clogs with Springs.

There's some of that going on in CA also--we picked up a couple while we were out there. My favorite was A Panda from Seattle....

The only trail exchange we have done was fun. We walked up towards a
box we were revisiting (with a HH to plant) when we noticed someone
quietly walking away from the hiding spot. We each said hello and
kept walking in opposite directions. We did not head straight for the
box not wanting to get "caught" or give away the actual spot but kept
walking slowly. One of my children looked back down the trail and
whispered, "She's still there and watching us, mom." I looked, she
was still there so I turned around and approached her. I didn't know
what to say so just asked, "Do you have a Sig Stamp?" She smiled and
said that she did have a stamp. We took it from there and ended up
meeting a very nice fellow LBer. I'm thinking we'll just look for
people who look a lot like us in the woods...and take a chance sometimes.

Seems to me if you ask someone if they're a letterboxer and s/he ISN'T, you've
got a perfect opportunity to prosthel... I mean, introduce someone to a
potential new hobby. Or tell a geocacher about not removing stamps, or a hiker
about not mistaking letterboxes for trash, or a security person about not
mistaking them for bombs. I mean, info. is good, right? Even when it's
useless info?

Never happen. I mean, even beyond the climate of secrecy that the LB
community seems to have (which I think, generally and without
reopening long, drawn-out discussions, is a good thing), there's my
terminal shyness. If I asked someone if they were a letterboxer and
they said no I'd scurry away as fast as my legs would take me.
Ask Miz about the brown paper bag I wore over my head to meet her.

I believe that related to the LbNA logo where the N has an arrow head
under it, similar to a compass pointer.

If there's ink on your brown paper bag, you're a letterboxer....
