I'm Going On A Geocaching Adventure And I'm Going To Bring...


If you've read my previous posts, you now know all about the background of geocaching.
Feeling inspired? Ready for your own adventure and curious what to bring? No worries, I've got ya.

What To Put In Your Pack:
  • Gardening Gloves- It's a good idea to have these on hand incase the cache has sticks over it, over, covered in dirt or any other reason you may find them helpful.
  • Band-Aids- Always good to take on any type of hike just incase!
  • Water Bottle- Hydration is important to stay alert and healthy on your adventure.
  • Small Shovel- Any outdoors person will tell you, there's always an excuse to use a shovel... especially when you don't have one on hand you'll find you'll need it the most.
  • Sunscreen- The best offense is the best defense.
  • Global Positioning System (GPS)- This is your number one necessary object. It will help you get to the general area of the cache and find your way back. You can purchase a GPS or most smartphones have them built in.
  • Trinkets- Remember the ethics code we talked about? Take something and leave something of greater or equal value in its place in the cache.
  • Writing Utensil- Don't forget to sign the logbook!
  • Flashlight- A necessary object if you go on a hike anytime near sunset.
  • Small Garbage Bag- Keep it green! Pick up any and all trash you see along the way to help keep our planet beautiful.
Hope you're feel prepared to go on an adventure! Keep an eye out for my next post discussing a major part of geocaching, keeping it green!
