I thought there wouldn't be any around me but there was a cache up the street o.o
Pretty much.
Same there's like 20+ around me I was super shocked
I know right? I've been living in this area for 4 years and to think there's been like 100 geocache boxes within a mile of me the whole time is kind of creepy but really fun haha
The funny thing is that I once stumbled across and plastic box with a bunch of random shit in it while I was hunting. I thought maybe some kid forgot their stuff so left it figuring they'd come back for it. Now looking back it was probably one of these things. I love the concept and I can't wait till it's warm enough to go out and try it on purpose.
My dad and I went looking in a forest for one. It was really hidden. It was off a bike trail about 20 paces in. I found it by complete accident I stepped on this log and looked down and it was there behind it. It was raining and my dad kept wanting to go home. It was really fun. The GPS was kind of fickle though. I think it gets you in the vicinity of the cache/treasure but at some point you just got to look with your eyes for it and not trust it so much.
seal3081 Theres arround a 20 foot margin or error in EVERY direction. So find the point then use the clues (If any) to search for the cache. That's half of the fun. Urban caches are usually easier. Ones in the woods tend to be more challenging and more rewarding(Larger) Also, cloud cover, rain, snow, fog, trees and buildings will make your GPS less accurate. try starting from a near buy clearing then walk towards the point. Good luck and welcome to GEOCACHING!
Will flanders yes, when I first posted this I didn't know there were clues. Apparently the clue was that there was a bell on the tree. I went back to the spot and found the bell. It would have been so much easier if I used the clue.
Will flanders
+Will flanders what app do you use I can't find anything using the app I have now
4musketers I used the regular geocaching app on my android phone.
First day geocaching. Was so fun!
I read a few comments and would like to add a positive note. This could get the family together and make a fun adventure and the payback is that you're trying an interesting adventure and the children are safeer than if they were sent out alone. Best Wishes to you all.
So true
Barbara Espinosa Geocaching is way more fun when your are in a group! With Friends and family.
Shame there are so many negative comments, here. Obviously geocaching isn't for you, and that's fine.
I have three young sons who love the sense of adventure, like to think they're pirates finding treasure, and also getting out in the fresh air. Given half a chance they'd be nose to nose with an iPad all day. For us, geocaching is great.
If it's not your thing, then enjoy what you like doing, and don't rain on everyone else's parade.
Yes my nieces are nose to nose with the social media iPad all day I'm going to see if I can get him into this
Geocaching is very nice . It can be combined with hiking, cycling , diving , climbing on the rocks , and many other activities
I would’ve never thought that in my small village are these geocaches but then i looked on the map and there were so many
I love geocaching here in the UK ! Happy Geocaching to all the Geocachers in the World - Simball :)
yai!!!!
I'm so addicted to geocaching now someone please help me. 😂
Same lol
I'd like to see Geocaching lap over with Urbex. It would be like stumbling upon a long-abandoned hotel & being the first one to sign the guest book in 20 years. Explorers could leave photos in the cache of other abandoned places they've explored.
There's a secret entrance to my backyard most people don't know about. Right at the entrance of the entrance, there is a geocache..... I've driven by one literally 1,000x and had no clue it was there. I'm really pumped to find others now!!
So basically, you can't take all the loot, just trade items in it and document it?
Trade for items of equal or greater value. You don't have to trade for trackables, but make sure you put it in another cache that is closer to its goal.
Well, you *could*, but it is very much frowned upon.
how are people going to know who took all the loot and didn't document it. (they will find out put if you take the box of course).
Eric I believe so
Some people don't know about geocaching and they are called muggles
I thought muggles where from Harry Potter?
she threw away a perfectly good watermelon :(
r u black?
And she touched phone with dirty hands! That's disgusting!!
ScienceDiscoverer
Pssh, the phone's probably dirtier than her hands.
Geocaching is so fun!!!
I really love geocaching. It's amazing the places it takes you to that you had no idea where even there. I love finding them when I'm on holidays too. I've just got into the social side of it all. I could travel the world with the people I now know. Maybe I will !!!
Geocaching is so much fun!! It has taken me to so many interesting places! I have learned so much! It is like an analogy for how the world really is: [normal life = visible world (sensory world) = Church Militant] -- [hidden geocaching reality = another hidden dimension discovered by the intellect with the aid of hints, clues, maps, GPS, and Divine Inspiration = Church Triumphant].
Truth and/or Reality is composed of the seen and unseen. Geocaching gives us insight into another truly present world. I just love to learn; there is so much to apprehend in our world!
Geocaching ist ein Hobby das nicht nur Spaß macht, sondern auch sehr Spannend ist. Viele Grüße an Geocaching HQ!
I remember my first geocash find. I had to use my compass and my 200 foot land surveying measuring tape. This was before smart phones were around.
My family did this once when I was little. It was fun. :3
I ended up with a seashell or two and a sand dollar.
It's been a few years, but found my first one since about 2009. Lots of fun
I just found my 100th a couple days ago (after almost two years). Pretty happy.
Awesome. I loved the little celebration dance she did when she found the cache.
This is great! Way to go Reid and Bethany!
It's all about the hunt. Just another way to stay active and a fun way to keep your brain in shape too.
This was so cool! I love the setup ,how it flows, the actress. This was so cute. I am so excited to get my family into this!
A lot of shade things happen at the bottom of my street and like 7 years ago I saw a lady hide a mint box around a lamp at the bottom of the street so I thought it must be some kinda weird drug deal so when she left I took the box home and opened it and there was a peace of paper and a pencil in it and it took me like 4 years to find out it was a geocache
I'm already planning putting one of these in the middle of nowhere. What's involved with maintaining the caches?
This is great. A good way to entertain the grandchildren over the summer.
I don't think I would ever put anything on my head I found in a geocache!!!
I did like 6 today!
9 euros for the android app. Quite expensive...
And in the free version there are too few geocaches.. Disapointing.
Andris Lepers there are other apps that are free for Geocaching
But Android has a free option. Because Android is awesome. It's in the Google Play store. www.cgeo.org
IMO it's worth the money
The best idea. I love this app great fun.
Simple instructions with good visuals - nicely done.
Great activity to do with the kids! My boys love finding them.
I just found out what this is. My mom and baby brother (baby brother is 22) have been playing this for years. The only reason I found out about it is because I live right next to a geo spot in Grove City,Oh. I am so excited to try this irl easter egg hunt!
Io l'ho fatto e ne ho trovate ben 2 nel mio paesino, è stato divertendissimo
Were excited to get started~!!!
A new hobby of mine!
my favourite hobby!! and am addicted to it..
omg I went geochaching and I found a ipod thx geochache!!!
As a complete newbie, it would have been helpful if you defined just what "geocaching" is. All I can do from this video is guess.
it's a treasure hunt where you have to find something that someone hid. The person that hid the cache also gives some sort of hint of where it is sometimes coordinates. Download the app and try seeing what's near you then try...
I live in a small town so their aren't many around. Its awesome when you find one though
Love your round-girl selection, fun, open, playful. :) No tired stereotypes is a refreshing change.
Feminism wins again
Looks like fun. There are a few new ones located by Ashland ,Nebraska for this weekends event. Have noticed over the last few months as you people find these that you leave your trash ( fast food containers, cans, and bottles) when you get out to search. I have found many by just watching you. Any more littering by these and I will remove them. I have located quite a few by watching the litter piles grow bigger.
wow, I was in the park next to me...and there was a bent tree log that was over a little pond...I climbed the 6ft tree and stood at the edge of it....found a piece of wood that's placed weirdly on a branch....I kicked the piece of wood and I found something interesting...a little orange letter container, I opened it and found something written in it... In the beginning I thought it was something a gang member left for someone...then I was like what the hell, what if it was a code for a treasure...I went back home and here I am....
DUDE....It's fate....
Great video! I'll be sure to show this to caching newbies.
So who puts these things out in these places?
I have been waiting for 2 days for them to submit my cache!I thought they would do it in 2 hours!!!
omfg this looks so cool
Just installed the app and checked for Caches. Stunning, how many of them are even 200 m close to my house. I am curious to see, if I am gonna like doing this.
I want to start geocaching! But I'm already a geocacher... :(
Best geocaching ad to date! :D
Very interesting and dynamic ; ) thanks for making it...
I've just heard about it through college. Now I'm curious. I'm trying to download the app now.
i have never done this before but would love to try it out! Any suggestions on which app I should download? I live in Minnesota
I found one today accidentally in Ottawa but all wet, it was in bird house, I guess it fell in water. There were hundreds of names signed on it dating back to 2012, but since it was all soaking wet. It all got ruined
Nice video. Informative and fun.
I am new to geocaching. I've found 8 of them so far. :) I noticed that some people asked about the swag and how would people know if you take it all. I guess we won't but that just makes you a thief and that's nothing to be proud of. Remember, Karma is real!
The thing is, it's not always that easy!
Great video. Saw it already on GIFF ;-)
What's stopping people from just stealing all of the containers and keeping its contents?
That does happen sometime. When that happens we say that the cache was muggled. The larger containers with nicer objects are usually hid better and usually only a geocacher will find it and not a muggle (muggle- person who is not a geocacher). Geocachers have respect for caches.
The sense of adventure in finding one and leaving stuff for others to find.
You need to select it to find it. The next person to go to the same location can report its missing. If x amount of people report after you, then the app will know that you have been taking them.
Geocachers respect the game.
Because there's nothing valuable in it. It's about the experience of searching and finding something.
Great video!
Great video! :)
This is neat, might give it a try!
AMAZING IDEA!!!
tgchan It's not an idea. geocaching has been around for 15 years.
***** It started from an idea, which was just the basis of what it is now: hide something and let others find it.
***** It started from an idea....15 years ago.
:D best idea ever !!!! so much in love !!!
I've found two.. and I dont even own a phone nor gps. :-p
Kinda ran into them.. not very well hidden at all.
Then how did you comment this without a phone?
I think I just found my new obsession
Why do some say to "be careful and pay attention to surroundings"? Is doing this dangerous?
2 million geocache sites world wide?! Wow!
Probably about 3 million now, considering this video is 2 years old
Well, We just started an amazing adventure

I've been wanting to try geocaching with my nine year old son. What kind of prizes are you supposed to leave behind? How much money should they be worth? Any advice in Atlanta, Georgia where we should start?
What geocache is the one shown in the video?
:)
Oh. ;)
I like it better than the flash one!
They need to make more make Augmented Reality Apps !
Does anyone know the geocache ID for that box, so I can log it?
I'm gonna give this a try because why not... but i live in rural Texas, so let's see how this actually goes.
Most geocaches I've found are inside of those boxes on streetlights
