Lesson 5: Tools of the Game
First and most important in this game, you will need a GPS unit (Hand held units are best), I Phone with Geocaching Apps, a Computer to get information from the Geocaching Web site.
It is handy to have a day pack with some other essentials for Geocaching. These include spare batteries, torch, pencils, pens, paper to write down formulas for multi caches and even a calculator. A water bottle, snacks to keep the Geokids happy, tweezers for pulling out tight logs, a mirror on a telescopic stick for looking in tight spaces, screwdrivers, sunscreen and insect repellent. A camera is often needed for virtual caches and also if you want to post some photos when you log the find. A small personal first aid kit is also useful for those bull ant bites or headaches of bored geokids.
If you are doing night caching its handy to have a 1m long stick to wave in front of you to bring down the Orb spider that creates its web during the night. Sticks can also be useful for this purpose during the day to if you come across the St Andrews Cross spider.
For extreme terrain star ratings, usually a 5 star then even more specific gear is required. This could even include abseiling and prussiking equipment. When a cache involves a long walk you could consider taking a map and compass along with you as well as the GPS as an added safety measure.
Question: Apart from the GPS, what tool could you not do without when geocaching?
Western Sydney Parklands track starts here. Set in the heart of Western Sydney, The Western Sydney Parklands contain world class sporting facilities, popular picnic areas, a full length cycle/walking track and native bushland. Covering 5,280 hectares, the Parklands stretch 27 kilometres from Quakers Hill to Leppington and are twenty five times the size of Centennial Park.
The Western Sydney Parklands are part of the NSW Government's new vision for contemporary, urban living in Western Sydney and are the perfect place to spend the day with family and friends - all without leaving your own backyard. The park is opened all hours of the day and the cache shouldn't be too hard to find.
