Cache Supplies

We have put together a Sterilite bin with all of our cache supplies so we can grab it whenever we are ready to go caching. I chose the Sterilite because it has nice handles and is clear.

Here is a list of our must-haves:

GPS (of course)
pens
cache printouts from www.geocaching.com (be sure to decode the hint before printing.)
map printouts - either your own from Google maps, or from GSAK, which I'll explain later.
If you are taking a laptop, print your cache printouts to PDF for when you aren't able to be online on the road.
trades - both micro and traditional sizes (see post about cache types)
camera
charged batteries (we have a 15-minute battery charger that plugs into the lighter adapter)
USB cable (if you need to upload pictures from your camera, when you fill up your memory with video and/or pictures, or forgot to unload the camera before leaving home!)
USB connector for your GPS (for those with USB transfer capability)
flashlights/headlights

band-aids & Neosporin - I just recently got the portable Neosporin spray.
Germ-X

snacks - thus our geocaching.com ID, granolabars!
water bottles

(I'll put a separate post for goodies to take.)
