The ABC's of Geocaching

S is for SWAG

SWAG is an acronym often refered to as standing for "Stuff We All Get"  It includes many trade items left in caches by geocachers.  

SWAG is non-trackable trade items found and/or placed in a geocache. Some caches have specific swag themes. Fast food toys are often included as swag to entertain younger geocachers. Take care not to mistake Travel Bugs or Geocoins for Swag.

The above picture is of a trackable.  There is a code on the reverse of Leonardo that geocachers use to keep track of where that particular trackable is located.  When you take a trackable out of a cache you record that identifing code and you also record that code when you leave it in another cache.  You do not keep trackables, their purpose is to move from cache to cache.
