+tomservo620 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 does anybody have any cool ideas for swag. I have been dropping (inexpensive) aa batteries (in a ziploc bag) and sometimes offbrand playing cards into geocaches, but I am looking for new ideas on useful swag. What kind of useful swag do cachers like to find. thanks Quote Link to comment
+cronicpain Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Old music CD's are always cool. Got any CD's from bands you don't like or listen to anymore? you could buy some discounted ones from the clearance or bargain bin. I've pretty much given up on swag, but do have a stash of kids toys I take with me for when my 11 yr old goes with me and she wants to trade. Quote Link to comment
+Keelmann And Cici Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I find a lot of decent stuff at the dollar store, toys for kids, useful items for adults. Also can find good and fairly unique items on eBay occasionally, that run 1.00 - 1.50 with shipping. I always try to drop a decent item or two in larger caches. Quote Link to comment
+6NoisyHikers Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Emergency rain ponchos and hand sanitizing wipes are good. We have a bunch of those dehydrated camp towels too. Quote Link to comment
+W4G_SOTAGoat Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I've left bison tubes before, so someone can possibly hide their own cache. Quote Link to comment
TheCacheSeeker Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Pathtags. They're really fun to find. Quote Link to comment
+L0ne.R Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 One of my favorite finds was a paracord survival bracelet Found this video about tying one: And this webpage with more complete instructions: 2 Color Paracord Bracelet Instructions Quote Link to comment
+TerraViators Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I had fun finding unusual swag items at garage sales. Quote Link to comment

Those are favorites of mine. I also like to buy a few boxes of individually wrapped Off! insect repellent wipes when I find them on sale and leave a couple of packets in caches. More than once I've seen logs from finders who were overjoyed to to find them because they were being attacked by mosquitoes on the trail. Quote Link to comment

I've been searching for a box to use for swag. Quote Link to comment
