4 Pack Travel Bugs

Travel bug tags are proprietary to Geocaching (Groundspeak Corp), and they are kind of expensive anyway, so this 4-pack deal is the best deal you'll find anywhere, with free shipping to boot. I've searched, believe me, this is the best deal you'll find on travel bug dog tags.

I purchased these travel bugs for my mom for her birthday. My mom LOVES geocaching. I mean, it's an obsession. We cannot take a trip to the grocery store a mile away without her wanting to hunt a geocache. As we're driving on the highway around town, she will point out various geocaches we've already found and then wonder about all the new ones that have popped up since the last time we made the rounds.A couple years ago, we started discovering trackables. It made the caches more interesting. A little tag on a toy or a code on a medallion to track online adds just one more layer of fun to this enjoyable pastime. Since my mom was such a fan of spreading travel bugs (even geocaching in Hawaii on my parents' anniversary trip, much to my dad's chagrin!), I thought it would be fun for her to get her own bugs to watch travel the globe.Needless to say, she was thrilled! These came individually wrapped. The tag to attach to the swag to release, a copy tag to keep at home for reference, a sturdy ball chain to attach to the swag, and easy activation instructions were all included. Mom has already purchased little "friends" to travel the globe attached to these tags and has activated them. Now, she's busy plotting where to release them into the wild. Best. Present. Ever.

...this is a great value. Inspiration for a trackable may strike at any time once you get started in this aspect of geocaching, so it never hurts to have one handy! I just bought my second set, after using the last one from the first set to create & place a trackable while on vacation. I took it just in case, and was glad I did! The travels of my trackables has been my favorite part of geocaching these last two years.

Arrived on time and in good shape.Have activated 3 of the 4 so far with no issues whatever. The activation site recognized the ID numbers and unlock code provided with the tags. Those three now each have a page on the Geocaching site for logging activity by those who find my Trackables, all created automatically when I activated them.There's a nice long piece of bead chain (with connector) included with each tag. I attach an object and a laminated card with info to each before I drop them and the bead chain (shortened) works well for that. I "seal" the bead chain connector with UV-curing glue - not foolproof, but will prevent it coming apart accidentally.

This is such a cool investment and it is totally the next step while geocaching! So far I have attached one of these to a flag and it is half way across the country right now. I love seeing where my travel bug goes next, it just reminds me that adventure is out there and hopefully one day I can go to some of the places that my travel bugs have went. These tags are good because each come with two tags, one for you to keep and one for you to let loose into the wild. It also comes with a chain to attach to a souvenir if you would like. I definitely recommend this travel bug 4 pack to anybody who is interested in releasing travel bugs into the world.

These Travel Bugs are fun and easy to register with the geocaching website. Quality tags with a copy tag so I can keep track of the Travel Bugs I have in circulation.

These are easy to use and fun to find a key chain for. They make great gifts!

One of my tb's came without a number! Only discovered that fact after I went to sell one to another cacher who needed one asap. Make sure you check them over after you get it in the mail.
