[Any tips n tricks for a Newbie]

If I can piggyback as another new cacher. I've been wondering what goes into the "perfect" caching kit.

 

Do you have a cashing pack? What's in it? How do you choose your caching treasures (besides cleaning out the kids' toybox, or the bottom of the golf bag - ha!). Do you have a grab-n-go bag? Backpack? Satchel? Brown paper bag? I have been using a wool felted bag, but am discovering it picks up alot of debris as I set it down (and the kids drag it over to pick out swappables)

 

What's in *your* caching kit?

[Deciphering Coordinate Puzzle]

Hi. We're in ABQ, USA trying to find a 2.5 (ya, we're new, but confident HAHA).

 

The puzzle for GC222AP is a series of photos that describes degrees, 0 minutes, minutes thousands first two, etc. I don't understand all these numbers. And what are 0 north minutes, etc?

 

*ETA: not trying to get clues or help here folks. Trying to understand GPS coordinates and how they read*

 

Tried to find this cache based on coords given, not solved puzzle coords. Of course it was a DNF.

 

Help?
