Noob: How to build a "Caching Kit"?

Recommended Posts

I'm assuming that it would be wise for me to outfit a small backpack with items necessary to be succesful at geocaching. Things like a notebook and a few pens/pencils, some small items to replace the ones I remove from any caches I find, etc. Can anyone provide me with a more detailed list of things I might need/want that I haven't already thought of? Thanks in advance.

flashlight

walking stick - to probe areas where fingers should not go first

first aid kit - you will get injured at some point - if only a minor scratch

water - that trail may be longer than you think

tweezers

garden gloves

duck tape - quick cache repairs

hat

emergency poncho

spare batteries

compass

area maps

cell phone or radio

insect wipes

small towel

snack

string

An expandable magnet and a mirror have come in handy a couple of times.

 

Probably the most important things I take with me, after the GPSr, are my camera, walking stick (or trekking poles), food, water, bandaids, and several extra rechargeable NiMh batteries for the camera and GPS unit.

Depending where I'm going a map and compass with the skills to use them. Redundancy is good.
