Never forget your Geocaching gear again!


Imagine if you will: A friend calls you to go Geocaching or a new Geocache has just been published and you dash out the door to be First To Find. But then you hesitate and think "Do I have everything I need?!" You've done it before, you get to the Cache location but you've forgotten your pen, or your GPS batteries die or there's nice swag but you don't have any trade items or you've got a splinter with no way to extract it. 

If only there was a way to ensure that you bring all of the gear you'll need with you.

There is: Build your own personalized Geocaching GoBag

A GoBag is just that: a dedicated bag or pack that, when you're frantically headed out the door, you can just grab, without much thought, and GO! 

A GoBag should be separate and distinct from your daily backpack, purse or hip-pack that you might regularly carry. You should not keep your wallet in your GoBag and you shouldn't keep your GPS receiver in your daily backpack or purse. Your GoBag should only contain things that you'll need or want when you go Geocaching. It's OK if somethings are duplicated with your everyday backpack or purse (like hand sanitizer or a pen), but for the most part your GoBag should be dedicated to Geocaching. 

Above is just one example of a Geocaching GoBag: 1) Small, over the shoulder, sling bag 2) First Aid kit 3) Whistle 4) Hand Sanitizer 5) Trading Swag 6) Nutrition Bar 7) Dedicated GPS 8) Spare Batteries 9) Tweezers 10) Log Roller 11) Multitool 12) Pen 

To this kit, I might also include some gloves, a water bottle and a small flashlight. The packed GoBag could sit next to a hiking stick, so you'll be ready when Geocaching calls!

What would you include in your Geocaching GoBag?
