Tools of the Trade?

[+Wanders but not Lost]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm curious as to what the experienced catchers would consider good geocaching tools to have in my toolkit? Besides a GPS and pencil of course!

 

I have a flashlight, tweezers and mirror. Any other times to consider?

 

Happy Caching!

Duct tape, pvc pipe (for caches up high), some magnets, fish line, and definitely a "grabber."

Great suggestions! What would you use the fish line for?

All I carry is a flashlight, long needle nose tweezers and an extendable 32" hook. I've used other things, but not often enough to bother carrying them unless something tips me off that I'll need them.

Plastic snow shovel...winter's coming.

I bought a magnetic extendable wand. Comes in handy. I've also got tweezers, flashlight, gloves and a multitool.

A couple of my friends carry brightly coloured flagging tape. A little bit tied to a tree close to the cache prevents unnecessary trampling of vegetation. Not for all hides, just those that don't abide by caching etiquette/rules--caches that are placed too far off the trail.
