I think it's great! A lot of us have Geocaching "sticks" or canes...to poke around in the brush so walking with something like that can aid in caching and walking. I always have my stick if I'm night caching! LOL! Good luck, it's lots of fun and it gets you to move around, I think it's great you found caching!
All the best~
