Explorer's Toolkit

Gear up! Every great treasure hunter needs a well-packed backpack. Here is what you should bring.

🖊️

The Mighty Pen

Most important! You can't prove you found the cache if you can't sign the logbook.

🧸

Trade Swag

Bring small toys or stickers. Remember the rule: if you take one, you must leave one!

🔍

Tweezers

Perfect for those tiny "Nano" caches where the logbook is rolled up tight.

🔦

Flashlight

Sometimes caches are hidden in dark hollow logs or under deep rocks. Light the way!

🔋

Extra Power

Geocaching uses a lot of battery. Make sure an adult has a backup power bank for the phone.

🩹

First Aid Kit

Always stay safe. A small kit with band-aids and wipes is great for little scrapes.
