My last find was in 2016 and I'm looking to get back to it. What equipment and supplies are you taking with you on your adventures? Are you using a standalone GPS or just your phone?

Looking forward to seeing/hearing about your kit.

Oh man, my kid asks about doing this more but I always get annoyed by the hoops to jump through to use apps, or their paid tiers and whatever. Hope someone has a good app recommendation. I don't mind paying if it's a quality one

A pen and a pair of tweezers is what a friend recommended. Also a pair of gardening gloves if you're going to bring a bag with you
