I really like the orange vest and clipboard idea. I was trying for a cache today at lunch, and it would have been really handy. Maybe a hardhat too.

This week at work, someone needed a hair clippy, so while looking thru my gym bag (computer bag during the week, and geocaching bag on the weekend), I couldn’t find any clippies, but I did give her a penguin.

(Which made no sense at all. But her little boy will really like it because Happy Feet is his fave movie.)

We’ve joked about the clipboard thing before! Too funny. We also keep sunscreen in the pack.

I’m imagining children dressed in hardhats and orange vests. Could you dress them like a Scout troop? Or, do you have some flyers with a bunny rabbit mugshot saying “Mr. Freckles is Missing.” I suppose it is wrong to teach children to act except onstage. Otherwise, perhaps they would be inclined to throw a Fit of Distraction when a muggle approaches. I think Fits of Distraction could be found in a Harry Potter book– its like a magic mood-changing charm. When kids are down on the ground having a tantrum they can look in the hard-to-see places for micros.

Fluffy & Friedrick – I like that idea! Difficult to pull off though if you have children with you though like we do!

I also have wet-wipes/baby wipes, a first aid kit, and bug spray in my bag. You never know when you are going to need it!

We take Invisibility Cloaks, aka orange vests. Recently, a muggle came to us and reported a downed road sign. I went with him to inspect the sign, while Friedrick found the cache. Friedrick is making us nonsense badges. We take a clipboard in high traffic areas.

I also carry extra ziploc bags and an dry pair of socks. Cold wet feet are no fun!

Extra logs, bi-lingual stash notes, and duct tape for minor cache maintenance (always let someone know if you replaced a log or cleaned/repaired a cache.) Handi wipes, trash bags for CITO.

I keep a tool box, spray paint, nanos and misc. size cache containers; a stash of camo materials for making containers in the field. Like you, we often run across a spot just begging for a hide!

One other thing I keep is a folder with geocaching information for folks we meet in the field.

Thanks for a great article! Here’s a link to my “field kit” http://geocachingidaho.wordpress.com/

Nice post! I keep forgetting the tweezers in mine, I usually use a bobby pin out of my hair to get those nano logs out… but the tweezers are also good for picking out cactus needles here

Here is what I have in mine: http://www.erikajean.com/2009/03/ive-upgraded.html
