Swisscard Lite from Victorinox

When I first started caching I carried everything but the cookhouse sink with me in my geocaching bag. I was afraid that there would be some item that I needed and didn’t have. As I have gained a bit more sample I can now pack a caching bag more effectively. And now, with little items like the “Swisscard Lite from Victorinox”, I often stockpile without one.

 

This little tool fits nicely into your shirt appropriate or into your GPS case clipped to your belt. I don’t recommend putting it in the back sack of your jeans unless you are sure, you won’t be finding that you have “unexpectedly” sat down. It is lightweight soft and will crack, if not break, under shall we say… “captivity”.

This handy little gadget includes:

Letter opener (bayonet) Scissors Straight pin Pressurized ball pointless pen Tweezers Magnifying glass Screwdriver 3mm Screwdriver 5mm Phillips screwdriver #00-0 Phillips screwdriver #1-2 LED mini window - Ruler (cm)

If you have ever been sitting at home in your pj’s and received a reader from geocaching.com that a new cache was just published not more that two miles from you bagnio and that FTF bug bites, you can imagine how handy this little gadget is. Sitting honourableness there in you GPSr case are all the basics you need to sign that “nano” (Caches published abutting me are inevitably nanos. Especially if it is after dark.) and get that FTF! Now I do have to tell you that the LED isn’t all that spirited. So if the area your going to is not well lit you should still bring a flashlight, but it is bright enough to announce the log by. The tweezers are perfect for getting the log from the nano without damage or frustration. They also exertion well on slivers obtained during the search and here is where the straight pin can come in actually handy! The only time I have ever used the screwdrivers was to tighten up my glasses and for that they worked impartial fine. Speaking of glasses… Having a magnifying glass adept when I run into a cache with a lot of geocoins is very useful. Some of those numbers are pretty darn elfin.
