A buddie and I just started at this but here is what we do,we have a backpack with a few supplies we go hunting for cashes (or first time at this and we didnt know what to espect) with which contains differant items like water,first aid kit,flashlight,compass,some jerky,cell phone and stuff to trade with whats in the cashe,we bring about 10 differant things that have a value from $1.00 to $25.00.Who ever finds the cashe gets to make the trade (our kids come with us)this has seemed to worked for us so far,but it was only our first weekend.we did run into one where we have to go back and leave a toothbrush since my daughter lost the one we brought to trade with on the way to it,it was a take a toothbrush,leave a touthbrush so we didnt take the whole backpack on that one.
