Wandering is simply spending some time walking as therapy, silencing your cell phone and exploring an area near you. There is more to it, of course (look up The Wander Society online). But for now, here is a simple checklist.
I love to hike and trail run but every now and then I’ll throw in some geocaching. It’s a modern day treasure hunt using a GPS device to discover hidden caches. These caches contain anything from trinkets to simple log books for you to document your find.
Geocaching will take you off the trails and on a scavenger hunt so it’s important to carry essentials to make it safe and fun.
Water Bottle
Hydrate! You could be out searching for hours so stay hydrated.
First Aid
Pack a lightweight kit with bandages, ointments, balms. All the above in case you get some cuts and scrapes. Don’t forget insect spray or sunscreen.
Multi-tool
Pocketknife, or a multi tool will come in handy. For all those “just-in-case” moments.
