I come across some caches that I haven’t been able to find that indicate requires TOTT. What exactly are TOTT and do you need them? The only ones I’ve done are the birdhouses one where I use a long paint roller so that’s obviously necessary. I did a nano size one that said it requires TOTT but it was a small ass magnet sized thing and I just found it using my eyes.

TLDR; What are TOTTs and do I need to buy TOTTs to do caches?

    Sounds good. I just wonder if there are cases where one would want to buy TOTT to make the find easier, and how much easier that would even make it.

      Well, I don’t know exactly what is included in the term tools of the trade, but a retractable ladder has certainly made some finds easier for me. Sometimes you can also encounter nanos inside a small crevice where a tweezer might come in handy. I’ve even used a rubber boat to get to some island caches. I would say, get a feel for the area first, then buy tools afterwards.
