It’s hard to remember a time before geocaching. After geocaching comes into your life, things around you can change. You may look at a common household item as a TOTT (tool of the trade) or a unique container as a potential geocache. We’re exploring ‘Before’ and ‘After’ transformations once geocaching comes into your life.

	Before Geocaching	After Geocaching
SWAG	Stuff we all get	Stuff we all get but better! Let me discover, trade, and move trackables!
Pretty location	Wow, this is a nice view	Wow, this would be a great place for a geocache!
Tupperware	A container for leftovers	My reason for adventuring outside. A hidden container to hold SWAG or a sense of accomplishment after searching or solving.
Tree climbing	A childhood activity	An activity that gets me closer to my geocaching goals! With the right safety precautions, it’s a combination of an adrenaline rush and natural beauty that’s hard to beat.
Kayak	A type of watercraft	A means to an end. My ultimate tool of the trade for getting those T5 caches!
Streaking	….	A very different meaning now. Finding geocaches or attending Events every day creates an addicting challenge.
Souvenir	A momento that is kept as a reminder of a person, place, or thing	A sense of accomplishment for geocaching somewhere new, completing an HQ challenge, or attending an event!
