While at some point in your career as a professional finder of Tupperware you might need everything listed (and more), for the average cache you need a gps (that you can input coordinates in) or a gps enabled smartphone with a geocaching app. Groundspeak (aka geocaching.com) actually has a nice app and an introductory app so you can try it out without spending the cash (money not cache). An account (it’s free) on geocaching.com helps you locate where the caches are. A pen or other writing instrument, makes signing the log book for the cache a lot easier. I think everyone has a story about discovering that they didn’t have a pen. We actually attempted to sign a log with a stick and mud.

Oh, and yes, a Real Deal Brazil hat if you want to hang with the “cool” kids- like Cecil.

  1. BTW, if anyone reads this and is interested in the Real Deal Brazil hat, geocaching.com has them $10 cheaper than the official website and you get a snazzy Geocaching pin too. http://shop.geocaching.com/default/review/product/list/id/456/category/65/

    Just figured I’d put that out there. I think it’s a cool looking hat. Just don’t have the money to get one. LOL
