Current Goal

I want to remind geocachers of the importance of bringing the 10 essentials whenever they are geocaching. If possible, I would love to be photographed while being used, before dropping me off in the next cache.

About This Item

Essential #2 - Compass

We recomend you keep a list of items that you may need while performing an outdoor activity, and bring those items in your pack. Hikers keep a 10 Essentials list:
1. Map
2. Compass
3. Flashlight
4. Extra Food and Water
5. Extra Clothing, shelter if necessary
6. First-Aid Kit
7. Pocket Knife
8. Waterproof Matches
9. Candle and Firestarter
10. Whistle
11. (some people suggest Sunglasses, sunblock, and bug spray as an essential.)

Please, for any geocaching activity where you go into the woods for a significant ammount of time (more than one mile into woods?) bring your essentials in your pack.

I was lost so I swapped bugs with BV to allow my use of this Essential.

I am usually caught without one or more of these essentials. Thanks for the reminder. I will use the compass to direct me to next drop.

I'm jealous! This one is actually nicer than the el-cheapo one I'm currently using. But as long as it can find North...
