"Swag-Bag" - the items I take with me while geocaching. Of course the contents evolve, but this is typical. See related photo with not labels.

One of the questions that we get often is "What does a Geocache look like?" And they are surprised to hear that there are all types of geocaches out there!

Had a fun, yet longer than expected lunchtime search for todays geocache find. It was supposed to be a regular size so I thought it would be a quick smiley. Unfortunately it was very well hidden within a bunch of young pine trees and shrub. Ground Zero was about 50 feet off so some serious looking around was necessary. Needless to say with a bunch of pine needles down the back of my shirt, which is why I usually wear a hat, I found it. Since it was a fairly good sized geocache I placed one of my signature first aid kits within. I love the first aid kits because they are a buck a piece and very handy when needed. I also was pleased to see a CITO 35MM container. These were popular a while back but have petered out as of late. The idea is you take the plastic bag inside the 35mm container. Fill it with trash on the way back to your car and then refill a new bag into the 35mm and place it in your next geocache. They worked great. Hope they catch back on. Well it's time to hit the drive thru and back to work. A great bit of nice weather and geocaching hunting always makes me smile. See you out on the trails, HHH

Types of Geocache - A guide to the differences - these are the different types of Geocache or Cache you can find when out Geocaching.

Last week I shared my family's newfound love of geocaching. Geocaching is a modern day treasure hunt that GPS coordinates to find specific ...

With the ever growing number of items in the geocaching world that can have tracking numbers on them. It would be a good time to go over the differences between Geocaching Travelers, Trackables and Swag. Then let you know as a geocacher what you should do with them if found. Geocaching Travelers: These are usually Travel Bugs and Geocoins. Travelers go from geocache to geocache on what ever goal that is specifically given to them. THEY ARE NOT SWAG and are the personal property of their owners. These toys have a special ID tag and go from geocache to geocache. They are called Travel Bugs or Travelers You can tell if they are travelers by the unique id code either stamped on them (geocoins) or a special tag is attached to the item (travel bugs). These id numbers are unique to each traveler and can be tracked on geocaching.com. Many have specific goals and/or destinations they wish to achieve. All of the geocaches they enter or exit from is marked specifically for that traveler and can have the entire history shown on a map of the world. If a traveler is found you may take it from the geocache (or event), log that you have it and then place it in another geocache with the intent of helping it with it's goal. A geocacher should only hold onto a traveller for a couple of weeks before releasing it back into the wild. Geocaching Trackables: These items are very similar to Geocaching Travellers as they also have a unique id code associated with them. They are also trackable on geocaching.com. The main difference between a trackable and a traveler is that the items associated to the id code do not go from geocache to geocache. The License Plate on our wall is a Trackable Item The aforementioned trackable items can be just about anything but usually do include t-shirts, automobile stick on's, license plates, geocaching memorabilia, etc. Basically anything you can put a trackable id number on can become a trackable. Trackable items are property of their owners and should only be "Discovered" when logged at geocaching.com. Geocaching Swag: Tradable swag are items placed in geocaches by other geocachers. Most range from kids toys, trinkets, dollar items, etc. There is one exception that has an id code and is still considered tradable swag, those are known as Path Tags. These quarter sized items have a small hole in them and on the back a unique id code. These are tracked at www.pathtags.com. Even though they sort of look like mini geocoins they are not and if you find one, you can keep it. Trade for equal or better like any other swag but they are collectable. These are Path Tags and even though they have an ID number they are considered SWAG So there you have it. Travelers "travel" from one geocache to the next and are personal property of their owners. They have a unique id code attached. Trackables are items that have a unique id code and do not travel from one geocache to the next. Swag usually does not have unique id codes except for path tags and are swappable items you can trade when found in a geocache for equal or better value. Please respect the items you find in geocaches and ensure that they safely go from geocache to the next if they are travelers. Trade swag for equal or better value with what you find.
