You are no longer a newbie when you do an RGS cache in only one trip and remember to bring:
a flashlight, kneepads, a step ladder, magnets, a length of rope and/or string, a long stick, a roll of duct tape, a piece of wire, some luck, a cell phone, the phone number of someone to give you some "help" a long piece of paper to write down "everything" and optionally a calculator . . . and a cupel.
