Have you heard of #Geokrety? Or have you heard of #travelbugs? They're great fun, and whereas TravelBugs are commercial and will cost you money, Geokrety are open-source and completely free!

With a little DIY, you can turn whatever you like into a trackable object. People can then move these from cache to cache and register each move with this service. You can then see the trip of your Geokret on a map, and people can leave stories of what they've been through in the log! Cute, right?

While geocaching tends to slow down during the winter months—with fewer boots on the trails and some caches even tucked away under the snow—this "off-season" is actually the perfect time to start a project. You can spend the cold evenings crafting your Geokrety so they are ready to hit the wild as soon as the spring thaw begins!

Of course, they are fully compatible with opencaching.nl! https://wiki.opencaching.nl/index.php/Loggen_van_Geokrets

Are you considering making some of your own to leave in the geocaches you find?
