What do you take with you on a cache hunt?

Hey people. It seems that everytime I go out looking for a cache, I think of something else I would like to have with me. Shy of loading up a backpack with all my worldly posessions, I starting a mental list of those things I would need most and wondered what everyone else takes with them. I realize that this might be an old topic, but since the things you carry might have changed, I thought it might be a good question to ask...

Seems like much, but packs all together in a nice little package that we can take anywhere. Living in South Florida, we see sudden and violent weather changes, and having my family with me on all of our caches, I like being prepared!

 

Besides, I have the light pack, the wife carries the child when needed! LOL
