I've just watched this video for the 3rd or 4th time and I've come to the realisation that I've been humping too much gear. Your idea of a small pouch that you carry with you at all times when geocaching and then a second, larger pack for bush caches is terrific. I'm going to copy that. :) Cheers, b

Awesome Video AussieMark909, you certainly gave some great advice as to what to put in our kit, thanks a lot Mate.

Glad you enjoyed the video. Happy cache hunting!

You should give it a go. With almost 1.7 million caches worldwide there are bound to be some near you. Thanks for stopping by mate :)

Hello, Thank you for a great video. I am new to Geocaching so this is a great info to me.

Michal Wrotter Thanks Michal, I hope you make many finds and visit wonderful places in doing so. Happy geocaching!

Lots of good ideas for GeoCaching in this video!

Great video! You showed a few things we hadn't thought of yet, for our first Geocaching trip! Thanks for posting!

I have crepe bandages for that situation, but not the size you mention. They sould very good, it's just a matter of space in a first aid kit that is the issue. I could throw one in the pack seperate and that would be worthwhile. Thanks for the tip mate.

That really does look interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Great presentation. I also carry anti-bacterial wipes.

Nice video! Definitely will be adding some things to my geocaching bag. :)

thankyou so much mate I'm very new to geocatching and love it so much this guide has really helped me :)

Thanks Jett, hope you enjoy your geocaching. Cheers, Mark.

Thanks for the info there mate, I'll keep an eye on that.

Great video. Given me some ideas for things to add to my pack. The things I have extra are spare socks (learned from experience the value of these), sun block and hand sanitizer.

I think a hydration pack is a must. Happy caching :)

Great stuff, hope you find some and enjoy yourself :)

Cheers mate, I probably should organize those batteries a bit better. Thanks for the idea.

Piss off the aeroguard and get Bushman. Carry a map. Get in the habit - it'll help with the compass. Get a pair of cheap clear plastic safety goggles. Nice video. Thanks for posting :-)

Thanks for watching Alli, happy caching!

It's the old story, plan for the best and be prepared for the worst. Hopefully I'll never have to use some of this stuff in a real emergency, but I prefer to have it on hand. Thanks for the comment mate.

Very Good video. I carry most of the items you do, but you have given me isdeas for additional items.

great vid, I got a few Ideas great insights from you, I definitely want to invest in a good hydration pack for long duration caching.

Great stuff Kat, are you going to go caching with it? The Oregon series are great, very easy and intuitive to use. Be sure to register it on the Garmin site, then go to the "myDashboard" page to update your firmware etc. Thanks for watching my friend :)

Nice to see what others carry in there caching kit. Whilst I do carry a first aid kit another item I carry which I hope to never use are three wider and longer than average bandages for snake bite. I don't consider your average first aid kit bandages suitable. I picked them up for $10.00 (they came in a nice little handy bag) off of a guy that does snake awareness shows at the local shopping centres. But of course you can pick up similar at at any chemist.

I have the same Bag for my Kit, Black Wolf Taipan in my opinion is a very well made bag.

I assume you're referring to the knife. He explained what it's for in this specific case, and a sturdy knife is a good thing to have if you go off the beaten track. "Carry a knife, save a life."

Yes it probably was, we get a lot of parrots and other birds here. Thanks for watching :)

Good one mate, get out there and enjoy it :)

just been out geocaching thanks to ur good self iphone in one hand torch in other coz it like midnyt in uk found 3 lol good fun cheers

Not crazy one bit! I am using your needle and thread idea tonight.

Cheers mate, thanks for watching.

Very informative video mate thanks :D

Great Video, I have all of the same items in my kit but, my kit includes a telescopic mirror, sunscreen and a disposable lighter. Thanks

Great Video.

Nice one Hatsan. Some days i have trouble finding them whit a GPSr, to find them without is quite something :)

Captain Utility and Captain Terror, great idea for a comic book! Whoops, sorry, I mean Graphic Novel lol :)

Very nifty! Just had a hankering to use that word had a hankering to use hankering as well! lol!

You're given me a couple of ideas, thanks my friend :)

i always make it a point to stop by !! i will let you know if i find any in my area !!

huh, I never knew I could use my android phone, maybe I'll give it a try..... It's gonna be a nice out today too!..... Thanks for vid!

Thanks for the comment my friend. For bush caching I have recently upgraded my kit (a lot) so as to be better prepared for an unexpected overnight stay if that should happen. I've shot a video of the new setup and will upload it soon. Happy caching to you too my friend :)

Your inclination to hanker is noted ;)

Thanks Jason, happy geocaching :)

Cheers , glad you liked it. BTW I love your avatar :)

Just as well I'm a long way from Iowa I guess. I do not carry the fixed blade in an urban setting, only in the bush. Surely in your part of the world carry a tool such as this in the wilderness would be OK.

That's awesome, thanks for letting me know :)

I live to the west of Brisbane. Plenty of caches of al types around here. Guess I'm lucky.

very nice !!!

Awesome, well done :)

I'm heading out bush in a few days hopefully and will take the camera along. Hopefully do a bit of gear testing in too if time allows. Thanks for watching my friend.

It's a One Hand Trekker. I've got a review of it on the channel, it's very good tool.

Just starting out, thought it was a great idea,

Very interesting Mark... Looks like you live not too far from us, we are on the south side of Brisbane... We also have a couple of Preons as well as a few more of 4/7s torches (good tip by the way with loosening off the end to stop wasting the batteries!). We are also into prepping, have not done anything with geocaching, but it looks like it would be fun (Watched your Mt Joyce video)... Do you belong to any local hiking groups? Thanks for the video... will be sharing... Have also subscribed to your channel... Cheers :)

I would like to do some geochacing .. I need to see what's in my area if any .. It will definitely make use of my gear and help me work on my outdoor skills ..

Thanks for watching :)

Thx well acatly my grama and a lot of my freinds are going to do a lot of the tomrrow

Oddly enough I'm going the other way a bit. After my recent adventure/misadventure more gear for the bush is the order of the day. This pack and load out is not good enough in the bush if things go wrong. I've got my new pack set up and ready to go. Just have to test it on a few hikes and then I'll do a video on it.

Might have a crack at this when I get back to Aus.

Im going to make a geo caching kit now because I go by my self

Nice one Emily. It's a good idea to customize it to suit your needs and environment. Happy caching :)

Check out our polish channel about geocaches. Dont worry, there are english subtitles! =)

Hi, where did you get that GPS case from? The website costs $54 to post to Australia.

Interesting. Temporarily in cuffs you say? So I take it you were not arrested/charged with anything? Was the knife legal to carry where you were?

someone made 8 accounts just to dislike dis cool ass video smh...

I would like to put an end to this, it is getting silly. I am not "recommending" anything. I am simply showing what I carry. I stress again that I only take a knife such as this in a "wilderness" situation. There are two reasons, as mentioned I actually do have to cut through thick undergrowth quite often (lantana), also if I was to get stuck out overnight it would be very useful in fire making. Lets accept that our environments and needs are diiferent, as are our opinions, and move on. Thanks

Who is watching in 2022? 😂 Nice video btw! ^^

tot... tool of the trade. (tweezers)

Do you happen to know what model victorinox that is.

Where abouts do you live. I live in North QLD and there is no caches out in the bush

Will you make a video on how to use your Gps because I also have the Organ 450t and I don't know how to work it that much. I am 13 and I started Geocaching when I was 9. My handle is Dramaqueen4

Can anyone tell me if the garmin 600 series shows or displays longitude and latitude coordinates and can you enter them manually as im interested in mainly creating my own geo caches

@AussieMark909

10 жыл бұрын

All GPS devices display this, even the very basic ones. So I would expect the 600 series to be no different. On the Garmin 550 I have it is a matter of selecting which options you want displayed on the compass screen, one of which is lat and long. This is how I hide my caches.

Not sure where you live so cannot comment on laws there. You should be able to research local laws online quite easily. However, you make the mistake in your original comment of seeing the knife as a weapon. It is a tool, that is why I carry it, and that is how it is used in the bush. I don't carry it in urban areas of course, there is no use for it there. My experience in the bush is that a machete or large survival type knife is very useful, for example when hacking a path through lantana.

Not lately ;-)

You of course are free to do what you want. But I would like to think I would not let police harassment scare me away from carrying a legal tool.

where's the toys or don't u put toys in ?

AussieMark909 Are there many Geocaching locations in QLD? I'm in Brisbane.. It sounds really awesome.. the only thing I find a bit scary.. would be set ups or being abducted or something happening to my girlfriend.. At least it's a reason to carry knives for survival purposes and that can double as protection.. I know that would almost never happen but it's still a slighttt risk surely.

Allison Kramer Yea I know they're all around the world and very popular, but the question was more about "are there many here in QLD" like a quantity question.. I know we have them in general.. the geocaching website seeeems to have a lot but I'm not sure if it would involve a lot of driving. And you're not allowed to like your own comment lol

Don't carry a large knife or machete in a civilized locale? You need to come to Alaska mate. Large guns and large knives are a regular thing here. lol
