What are geocaching hazards?

Answer 1

There are plenty of potential geocaching hazards, but which ones are likely depends on the area you are in. Regardless of where you geocache, bring enough water and mark the location of your car, and the location where you leave a trail. The number one hazard is getting lost.

Be careful where you reach with your hands in search of a cache. Always check to see if you're not grabbing at a spider or snake or some other creepy crawly.

If you are in a wooded area or an area with a lot of loose rocks or near deep ravines, watch your steps. You don't want to fall.

Cache with a group or at least tell someone where you're going so if you're in trouble, help will arrive for you.

Most importantly, use common sense. Don't go looking for caches in caves if you have no caving experience, don't go crossing a lake if you don't know how to swim.
