One essential caching tool is a good pen. Those of you have been listening to the show or stopping by our forums know about my fascination with a GOOD caching pen. Most of them aren't a crazy-expensive investment and nothing replaces a good pen when you really need one. Have you ever been out caching, the cache only has a broken stubby pencil and you DON'T have a pen on you? That's when your own personal, easy to carry pen will be MOST appreciated! Here are a few links to some pens you might consider to carry around with you. Not only good for caching, but also great for your daily routines. All the pens featured today are shorties, minis, or micros. In addition to being decent pens, they have the added bonus feature of being small, but small is big in my opinion when it comes to "carryability". And carryability, my friends, is the secret to usage. If you don't have it on you, you won't use it. (Also my philosophy on tripods, but we'll save that rant for another time ...)
