The Deep-Forest Ranger's Cache

Deep within the Emerald Weald, tucked beneath the sprawling roots of a sentinel oak, your party discovers a weather-beaten wooden crate reinforced with rusted iron bands. It appears to have been left by a high-ranking member of the forest scouts, containing tools meant to ensure survival against both the elements and the more predatory denizens of the woods. The gear is remarkably well-preserved despite the damp surroundings, protected by old charms and clever storage.
