Cache Hide/maintenance Kit

[+dingermcduff]

I always have a few cache ideas in my mind and I want to be prepared when that bit of inspiration hits me to hide one. I also do maintenance on other people's caches when appropriate. To these ends, I carry a kit in my rusty Chevrolet. Here's what I got:

 

A couple of ammo boxes

Ziploc bags (the good kind w/the sliding deal)

Waterproof match containers

Camoflage tape

Pencils

Pencil sharpeners

Tree tags like you find at nurseries (great for multis)

Sharpies and garden markers

Hide-a-keys

High test braid and mono fishing line (for suspending micros)

Little spiral log books

Stash notes

Swag

Small waterproof containers

Paper

Clear tape for laminating clues

Knife

 

Thinking about adding:

 

A couple of FTF scratch off tickets

Disposable camera

Some unique containers

 

Any other ideas?

This would be handy for replacing plundered caches.

Everything you have listed except the ammo can is in a small nylon backpack (that I picked up at the dollar store) that I call my "cache maintenance" kit.

 

I also bring a pair of scissors/or wire cutters, a screwdriver and screws, gardening gloves (for reaching in icky places ) and a small pack of tissue (for drying out caches).

I, in my fishing vest, have tape, wire, and imitation leatherman (naugahydeman)

string, etc. for fixing caches. So far have only had to do a little mopping out.

So far just zip-loc type bags (and I've used a bunch), but I like your idea.....fixing up a cache would be much nicer than just e-mailing the owner that the log book has the consistency of a spit wad and that gold fish have taken up residence in the container.

Add a bottle of super glue, comes in handy to re-glue magnets to clues or cache containers. I've fixed 2-3 over the last couple of days.

I carry geocache labels, too.

I have more "cache maintenence" items in my cache bag than swag.

 

match safes, camo tape, pencils/logbooks, stash notes, ziplocks, etc, etc, etc...

 

Sometimes, I find another thing I could have used to fix a cache so I add it to the lot when I get home.

I too carry my own maintenace kit of sorts. Ziplocks, tupperware containers, knife, flashlight, gloves, black and camo tape, small containers, pencils and of course you need the swag. Unfortunately I have found many a muggled cache on my treks so far. All others that I have read so far are also good ideas!!
