Description
Inspired by the self isolation imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic, here is a cache you can find from home.
Our TOTT, or Tools Of The Trade, help us navigate our way through countless adventures. This stamp is a favourite of mine, it somehow adds significance to a find, and is fun to use with Letterbox caches. What is your favourite TOTT? To log this cache you need to submit a photo of your TOTT and at least part of your body. You should include why this is your favourite, and perhaps a war story of when you've used it.
This cache can only be logged once, but in your log you are welcome to post as many photos as you like.
Tip: Displaying Photos In Your Log
Geocaching Australia logs present a little differently to those you may be used to. The default is for you to need to view any uploaded photos by clicking the camera icon at the top right of each log entry. The following steps will enable your photos to be displayed directly in your log:
- Create your log and upload any images with it
- In your posted entry, click on the far right camera icon (view gallery)
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to see your thumbnail images and click on one to open a pop up image with the title and (click for details) underneath
- Follow the click for details link
- You now have 5 choices of code for embedding the image
- Copy the code for the second option: Cache/Web pages (HTML thumbnail with link) and return all the way back to the cache page
- Paste the code into your log by choosing the pencil icon (edit log)

My favourite TOTT is the good ole sharpie.
Don't need anything else high tech but you do need to sign the log!
I like the ultra thin, writes on virtually every log.
Rain hail or shine.
Always keeping an eye out on the local supermarket placing the 12 pack on sale.

My favourite T O T T is my expandable ladder which I have used many times while finding caches. Photo attached. TFTLC
I'd have to say my most used TOTT would have to be tweezers followed closely by a mirror. This mirror is great but scary as one side is normal and the other side is magnified which the scary part is when you look at that side

We had a discussion about this one but could not come to an agreement. So, we are logging two TOTTs. One is a telescopic ladder which extends from 87cm to 4m. It can be placed anywhere in teh car when we are working from home but when we are on the road, it stands behind the driver' set making it very accessible when required. the second TOTT is a safety pin which Mrs y'stassie has on her key ring and is particularly useful for extracting small items, such as logs in nano containers. The photo added to the Gallery shows the ladder in collapsed and extended form and the humble, but extremely useful, safety pin. Thanks Mister Doctor for teh cache.
Here are the 2 stamps that we have almost all the time with us, that of our pseudo GC to log on the logbooks and that of the association Geocaching Loisir for the larger notebooks.

Apart from my phone my favourite tools are my extendable mirrors. I use them frequently.

)My favourite TOTT @ home unfortunately is the humble pen. Not as exciting as some peoples, but the most reliable of all. Yes I need my computer to download onto Monty (my GPSr) and I have a stamp which I usually forget to carry in my bag of TOTTs . Thanks for this cache Mister Doctor.

I can't believe no one has done the GPS as their favourite TOTT yet. So here is one of mine.
My most popularly used TOTT is my trusty multi-tool pocket knife.
I have it with me every day so it is handy if I need it on a caching trip.
And over the years I have added many other TOTT's to my collection,
including an extendable ladder, torches etc etc.

I don't own a stamp but it is on the shopping list.
My favourite TOTT is a Wanderer 1000 Lumen Rechargeable Headlight.
Ruverbug Jam was at Anaconda and noticed these were on special, as they were discontinuing this model.
With only two left on the shelf she grabbed both of them.
It has seen many adventures since then.
Thanks for the cache Mister Doctor.

Hi Mister Doctor
My favourite TOTT @ Home is definitely my lap top
I can keep in touch with friends and family
BUT more important (not really), it allows me to CACHE - without this I'd not be able to keep up with geocaching currency nor to keep my GPS loaded - IT'S THE CENTRE OF MY CACHING WORLD - I'm even logging this locationless with it
TFTC and cheers

I have several TOTT that I consider essential now. The best is a 3.8m extension ladder. The one that gets the most use is a stamp that I use when caching with Nana nel.
That was a great lesson, 4 thumbs up. Just have to remember how to do it next time.

The TOTT that we use is our stamp, with both caching names on Wazza9 and Nana nel, this saves soo much time when geocaching. The date is last tine we geocached 30th March 2020. Thanks to Mister Doctor.

My favourite TOTT are the non -magnetic tweezers. Carry them everywhere. With the amount of nano and mint tins, they make the job of retrieving logs easier. I keep them and a mirror with magnet all together in a green neoprene cover.

GCA 2,839. Another interesting locationless to enjoy during these trying times.
The TOTT that I probably use the most would be my humble pair of tweezers. They live in my wallet and have saved the day (or at least speeded things up) too many times to count. There seems to be so so many of those nanos, plastic tubes and even large logs in mint tins that need to be persuaded out.

My favourite TOTT would have to be my Ram Mount. I've owned it for over a decade & it has carried my former Garmin Map 60csx, an Oregon & my Magellan 710. Next I'll buy a phone attachment for it. Sturdy but light & sticks to the screen even on very hot days. Thanks

Without doubt my favourite TOTT is my Leatherman. We had an altercation with a 'furry log' after leaving Clever Monkeys farm and the Leatherman was all we needed to repaid the under carriage damage to the rental vehicle. Sadly though repairing the furry log was beyond the capabilities of my favourite TOTT

thanks Mister Doctor.

My favourite TOTT is my Multi Tool. I purchased it a few years ago and I have been the envy of my family ever since.
As well as being used on many geocaching adventures it has also been used 1) to cut a wire fence to release the leg of a trapped kangaroo joey, 2) to remove a fish hook from the beak of a gannet, 3) to adjust yacht fittings when out sailing and 4) many other tasks around our house.
My boys know that if a job needs to be done they can borrow Mum's Multi Tool.

Torches are awesome! I got mine in the Boxing Day sales for $70. It’s 1000 lumens and is brilliant for night caches. I recently added a $4 laser pointer, as the UV torch that’s included is also a night cache winner.
My cache bag is another favourite. I added a carry strap and a few pathtags to a travel toiletries bag.
My cache bag houses a growing collection of essentials, including a pen, a stamp, simple swaps like stickers, spare log books, ziplock bags and tins, band aids, pocket knife, multitool, needle-nose pliers, extendable magnet tool with mirror and clip attachments, homemade shielded magnet on a line, autograph book for collecting Letterbox cache stamps, gaffa tape, gloves and hand sanitiser.

My most used TOTT are my Multi Tools of which I have various ones. I like this one as it has a tweezers in the handle and I can use the Plier part to extract most nano logs from those magnificent Nano containers.
Roostaman put me on to having one of these with me as they are very useful. TFTL Mister doctor.

Had this with me from the time it was given to me. Usually my favourite. On occasions though, the ladder has been a favourite, while at other times a good pair of tongs are worth their weight in gold.
However for getting the logs out of those little nano's, I can go past the all in one.
Thanks for another locationless....
