Electrician here from /all who doesn’t know much about geocaching. What’s the issue? Seems to be pretty accessible with a ladder if you’re looking at that dongle hanging from the KO seal on the box.
Geocaching is a game where you give gps coordinates to a little cache and people go there. It shouldn’t require equipment or machinery to reach it.

That depends on the difficulty grade of the terrain. T5 often requires some equipment.
Some are in cliff faces for climbers. It’s got tiers and categories, maybe this one’s misidentified.
As someone else said, there are some difficult ones that require climbing gear (which reminds me of playing various MMOs) - one in my town is about 15m up a large tree!
Right, but like, what do you physically do with the tag? I’m guessing you log it and put it back?
Surely a 6’ ladder would get you there
It’s not the tag itself, there will be a little cache. What’s in it depends, some are give and take some random tokens. Some are logs. You don’t really do much, it’s more about getting out and exploring your city. I don’t do it myself I’m just aware of it.
@pineapplelover Looks like you’d need an extendable fishing rod with a hook or magnet attached to the end of it.
Or one of those grabber things your grandparents use, but super long version.
Just use one grabber to pick up another grabber
Something like this would probably be my go-to: https://www.amazon.com/Golf-Ball-Retriever-/b?node=3411041
Alright just picked up a gold ball retriever from a sporting goods store, think I would need to add a magnet to this. The geocache I posted looks to be magnetic so having a magnet might be useful.
Good luck! Magnets always make me paranoid that I won’t be able to put the cache back, but maybe it’ll work for this one!
Good point, maybe I’ll attach a paperclip and make a hook.
Which TOTT would I even use?
