The Foster Clan Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 After doing several more hunts, we've decided to start carrying plenty of extra stuff with us when caching. Extra pens, pencils, lots of gallon sized baggies, big permanent markers and maybe even some tape (duct and electrical). A few of the cache containers could use a bit of work and it would only take a minute or two to perform... Do most people carry some extra's for repairs? Jon. Come visit us on the web!!

+Marky Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 We usually carry extra log books and cache first aid stuff (pens, baggies, etc.) when we are out and about. It comes in handy. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Foster Clan, GOOD JOB in putting together your cache repair kit, and for taking care of the caches you find to be in need. I usually carry the same items you already listed, plus a pencil sharpener and an extra geocaching stash note. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x I was formerly employed by the Department of Redundancy Department, but I don't work there anymore.

+stu_and_sarah Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We carry a spare tupperware box in case the cache container is damaged, a box of trades in case the cache contents look a bit sparse, a couple of spare log books and a few pens and pencils. We usually have a few carrier bags too in case there is litter around. We take some litter home with us to throw away and leave a bag in the cache so that the next person can do a bit of litter-picking too if they want to. We've only had to replace a box once, but it needed quite a bit of maintenance. The contents were wet and mouldy so we did a clear out and filled the box back up with bits and pieces.

+briansnat Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I have a bag in my car with some spare stuff, but I usually forget to bring it with me. For those caches that are close to the car, I guess I can always go back. It's kind of hard though, to know exactly what size container to bring along. Often the container's size is important because if you bring one that's too big, it won't fit in its hiding place and if it's too small, it won't fit the cache contents. I guess I could bring along an assortment, but that would take up too much room in my pack.

+fairplay Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We always carry a first aid kit around... but never thought about a first aid kit for Caches !! Nice idea, for the future... hello Quote Link to comment
+BevCrusherMD Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 I usually add a towel to my repair kit. That way I can dry things out that are wet. It's helped several times. ______________ Live Long and Geocache! Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 A battery operated hair dryer would be a great idea. Do they even exist? "An appeaser is one who keeps feeding a crocodile-hoping it will eat him last" -Winston Churchill Quote Link to comment
