Cemetery Kit

Are you ready for a cemetery walk?

Gale's Kit:

• Cart
• Crates - for storage or seats
• Cell phone
• Camera & memory cards
• Clipboard
• Project list or notes
• Maps - county / cemetery / lots
• Paper & pens
• GPS - if your camera doesn't have it
• Reflector - foil over cardboard
• First aid items
• Big stick - for critters
• Hat & sunglasses
• Jacket or sweatshirt - for changing seasons
• Sunscreen
• Insect spray
• Small broom & brush*
• Hand towel & paper towels
• Trash bags - please pick up trash
• Baby wipes
• Gloves - for pulling back briars, brush or limbs
• Bottled water - wet stones to read
• Cooler (small) - with drinks & lunch or snacks
• Lawn chairs - another option vs. the crates for resting or eating

* I use on family stones / lots. Limited use elsewhere.
I used to take a camcorder. My new camera does video so one less thing to take.

Things you won't find in my kit:

• Clippers or shears (except for immediate family lot care)
• Chalk, shaving cream, etc - Confession: when I first started my genealogy research I used these suggested techniques I found posted online. No more. A much debated subject in the genealogy community.
