In my geokit I have the following: GPS Spare batteries for GPS Pens Tweezers (long ones) A telescopic wand with strong magnet Mini torch Notebook Spare logbooks & ziplock baggies A penknife with screwdrivers, picks, scissors ets built in Hand sanitiser & small pack wet wipes Small swaps A carry bag - for CITO A muesli bar A few band-aids & anti-histochemic A thin beany & a bandanna if the weather changes quickly (like it does frequently in all seasons in New Zealand) Camera - both to record fun hides & it is a useful prop when you think you ar about to get muggled.... it looks better if you are taking a photo rather than twiddling your thumbs.
You need to take exactly what you would in terms of walking gear for a similar walk, plus the GPS device. A good stick would be useful for rummaging in undergrowth and don't forget suitable items to leave in the cache if you remove something. A picnic lunch is always welcome too. Have you looked at the guides over there? ------>
Lensatic Compass Pocket knife Pencil and Paper Map of the area (Mostly hand drawn and copied from the web, I have a pocket diary filled with such maps) Some tinker toys (to exchange)
I also use a walking stick which I collect on the trail. Treking shoes.
