The concept
The idea behind this exchange is to swap items of an outdoor nature or something small that you would find useful on a hike, camping trip or perhaps keep in the glove compartment of your vehicle. I have intentionally not put a value on the items to be exchanged, it is about how useful the gear is NOT the money. Some ideas - a space blanket, small compact poncho, small pocket 1st aid kit etc.
About the cache
You will need a flat bladed screwdriver or pocket knife to open the container. I have left a screwdriver in a zip lock bag underneath a stone in very close proximity to the cache - please replace it exactly as you found it. Let's see how long it lasts, please do not count on it being there to avoid disappointment - you will not open the container without one of the instruments mentioned.
Please conceal the cache well when replacing it.
There are three smaller containers inside the main one.
Container one (on top) has the usual swag for those who want to trade other items.
Container two (in the middle) has the Exchange items in it.
Container three (at the bottom) holds thr logbook and pencil. Please drop TB's or Geocoins here as well.
Please replace the containers in the order that you found them.
For those that take part in the Xchange - please make a note in your log as to what you removed and what you replaced it with.
I will try to update the list below as things progress.
