What we Geocachers Carry....

[+StarBrand]

My wife and I have noticed that most of the Geocachers we know have filled the back of their vehicle(s) with a ton of Geocaching stuff. I reason the more "stuff", the greater the obsession.

 

Here is your chance to confess to all of us. Run out and shoot a picture of the back of your car (trunk, bed, tailgate etc) and post it here. If I'm right, you will have various swag, camo, boxes, hiking gear, notebooks, pens, pencils etc.

 

I am running out to take mine now - go ahead and post yours.....

Sometimes the view of my truck bed is blocked by my kayak:

Sometimes it's blocked by my motorcycle:

When it's not, it looks something like this:

My tool box, including muggle disguise, (hardhat/clipboard & vest):

My back seat, including ammo cans, stinky hat, motorcycle helmet, backpack & chainsaw:

 

I'd say that qualifies as an obsession.

This was taken for a similar thread about 2 years ago. Things aren't a much different today. I have a different

day pack now and the bowling balls are now in the basement because I had to quit the bowling league due to my work schedule. Also soccer season is over, so the soccer balls are gone.

 

I still have some cache containers (note the ammo box and Lock n Lock) and right now my tackle box, fishing poles and a set of oars are in there there along with some PFDs. The mess is the about the same though.

Well although i would classify myself as semi addicted, my trunk is surprisingly bare

 

That is my current car i borrow to go caching, its messy but nothing cache related

 

And here is the not yet operational cache mobile that i just bought (note bumper is off for some body work), since i can't drive it its completly empty except for the spare tire, but im sure it will eventually fill up with geocaching stuff after it gets on the road.

[+mousekakat]

Cache stash bag full of swag, repair items, and other things you need when on the trail;

 

a light jacket for everyone in the family,

 

30m rope,

 

folding water bowl and extra leash for hou(n)dini,

 

1.5l water,

 

shovel/pike/pick/compass that breaks down for storage and has its own little bag and

 

ummmm... I think that's about it!

[+scott9282]

Let's see here...

 

100 feet of polypropylene rope, with a steel clip/hook on the end. For those 5 star caches.

 

My hiking staff with various medallions from some National Parks and at least one Geocaching medallion.

 

First aid kit (a complete one, I could do minor surgery with the thing)

 

Flashlights, with spare batteries.

 

Folding chairs.

 

Picnic blanket from L.L. Bean

 

Beach blanket.

 

Emergency rescue blankets (those little silvery things).

 

Emergency pack with matches, a collection of hooks and other survival type stuff, including at least one good knife.

 

Multi-Tool (I prefer Gerber, but Leatherman Tools are good too)

 

Whistles, at least four. Makes finding people who have wandered off in the woods much easier.

 

Ranger Ultra Compass.

 

Assorted maps, topo, for the area I'm in. I prefer 24000 scale myself. All printed on "adventure" paper.

 

Binoculars.

 

Assorted signature items (I like to leave compasses. Nothing expensive, but they work)

 

Some sealed water bottles.

 

Food bars.

 

Other items as needed.

[Luckless]

Is that one of El diablo's walking sticks?

Hope he posts a picture of the one he's working on now with all the coins.

Is that one of El diablo's walking sticks?

 

Yup - I have had it for getting close to 5 years now.........holding up well.

My car trunk has four pennies in it! (Well, and some dust.)

Poor Omphy just got back from nine days in the hospital for plastic surgery to replace her rear quarter panel. (She got hit behind the gas cap by some idiot in a parking lot.) (Yeah. The cachemobile's name is Oomphy. Got a problem with that?)

So, the question is not what is in the trunk, but, rather, what got removed from the trunk before her hospitalization.

3 bags of garbage that came out of the old car trunk when I bought this car.

2 lopping shears

2 pruning shears

1 beach chair

7 one-foot galvanized spikes

1 five pound sledge

1 brace and bit

1 metal detctor

4 new batteries for metal dtector

4 dead batteries for metal detector

2 hiking sticks

1 12" bow saw

1 trowel

1 pick mattock

1 snow shovel

1 car vacuum

3 ice scrapers.

LOL

Well, you know what they say: "Geocachers always know the best places to hide bodies...."

I guess some "tools" would be necessary to accomplish that...

[+simpjkee]

wont win me any points in this forum, but here's mine

 

[+nekom]

Both of my vehicles are basically just full of debris.

[+StarBrand]

wont win me any points in this forum, but here's mine

 

I like the camo on that container - would work well in many public settings.......

[+StarBrand]

My wife (correctly) tells me that to be fair I need a photo of all the caching stuff I left in her car too........

[+Planet]

It looks like this a lot! Why unpack it when I may need it again soon?

 

Actually, that's my old car, the new one is the same, only newer, and is full of stuff all the time. I went through all 127 pages of my gallery and that's the only one I found of the interior of the car. There were a few shots of the GPs on the dashboard, but I guess I don't think my car is interesting enough to put in logs, LOL.

Last time I saw that car it looked like this:

 

I'm OK. That's what counts.

[+Cornerstone4]

I always thought that Hip-Hop song was by someone that had seen my car...

 

"Whatch goin do with all that junk...all that junk inside your trunk?"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, ok, I guess that was about something else...

[+simpjkee]

its an event cache for events at rock concerts.

[+Miragee]

Yesterday I loaded up the kayak for a K.D. Lang/Lyle Lovett concert at Humphrey's By The Bay. I cached my way to the location.

 

In the car is my mountain bike, my lumbar pack (containing about eight pounds of very important caching stuff), my hat, my walking stick, a cooler full of food, and other stuff.
