After 9 years i found this ,what an awesome idea and refreshing... didn't expect to find it in a small city in Netherlands and in a neighborhood far from centrum! Still found one 8 minutes walking from my home 😂 really exciting ❤️
It’s really fun and wholesome and when you realize that people still search for this and like it like I’m replying to your comment right now and it says that you made this 11 days ago! And this video was made 9 years ago.
I've found over 200 caches, and will be placing one soon. I have no clue how to get coordinates. Except on cachly, you can click your location dot, and it shows you the coordinates. I guess I can do that a few times and get an average. If there's a way to do it through the regular app or google maps, I haven't figured it out yet.
If you use an Android phone for geocaching, do this: 1. Open the Google Maps app . 2. Touch and hold an area of the map that isn't labeled. You'll see a red pin appear. 3. You'll see the coordinates in the search box at the top. If you use an iPhone: 1. Make sure that Location Services is ON. Navigate to Settings -> Location Services -> ON 2. In the list of apps under Location Services, make sure Compass is ON 3. Press the Home button to exit Settings 4. Open the Compass app Your current GPS coordinates are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Hope this helps!
@@radbooley5207 this definitely helps! I’m hoping to place some caches in the future, so getting all of the details out of the way really helps, thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing but PLEASE respect historical monuments and locations. For example, do not disturb rocks at historical places such as redoubts (reinforcement walls) of Civil War battle sites. Someone disturbed the rock redoubts in Redoubt 1 of the Battle of Nashville. As one who descends from someone who was in this battle, I would greatly appreciate respect and hands off to ensure the integrity of the historical site. Have fun but respect.
Great advice. When I cache with my son, I always teach him to clean up some litter we find on site, and to respect the area we're in. I think it's a great hobby for people to learn more about the heritage, culture and ecology of the places they're caching in, and help maintain historical sites while they're there.
@albatross Gr i don't think placing them inside graveyards is very respectful, i can't imagine the people who take care of the graveyards would like people digging around there very much, although i don't know much about geocaching yet since until last night i had no idea what it even was so i might just be spewing bullshit
There's a website called TechBlazer from which you can print free logsheets of several different sizes, one of which is small enough to fit in a nano-sized cache like the fake bolt one. Try it!
Its important show the people how fill the form to publish a geocache. There are a lot of points that can make mistakes ... its not too easy for beginers !
Trying to hide my first one now. I have a cell phone with the android app. I would like to see a video on how to do this with the phone. Your app is not user friendly for hiding the cache, just finding them.
The app is made specifically to find the geocaches, not hide them. The website is build for hiding, maintaining and talking with support. The app and browser both have their own unique uses.
There is this very wide, open stretch of land next to a creek a few streets over. At the end of the creek is a chain-link fence as well as a fort made out of wooden industrial pallets built by the neighborhood over's kids. I want to hide it over there as it will be an interesting challenge and a bit of a walk across the field, but I'm worried the kids may find and mess with the geocache or that it will be too inaccessible. I also am unaware of the owners of the land, but people seem to frequent it. Help?
this geocaching sounds fun !! thanks for posting! I reckon i am up for the challenge !!! now to learn more about the rules etc total noob to this !! is there any more dos and donts i should learn about ?? thanks again !!
In theory, would a Pulp Fiction themed Geocache fit within the guidelines? Obviously the container would have to be a brown suitcase which would have to be weatherproof, and it couldn't contain any explicit or suggestive materials regardless of reference, but to be Pulp Fiction, it'd have to have some small reference or something. Perhaps a prop letter from Mr. Marsellus Wallace and a replica watch from Captain Koons? Gift card to one of the ~3 Jackrabbit Slim's in the world?
Cache owners automatically get emails whenever someone logs their caches. Keep an eye on those and see if anyone points out a problem with the cache. If they do, go and check the cache. Otherwise, you can check it whenever you want to. Some people just rely on find logs, others will check their caches once in a while just to be safe.
No, it just gives you some experience so that you can hide it in a style that you like. If you play it safe and hide it in a way that is similar to what you've seen before, you should be just fine.
I know I'm about 5 years late, but I just found out about geocashing. I downloaded the app, but there seems to be no geocashes in my state (Nagaland,India).But I also found out that you can publish your own geocash. Can Someone please give me a link or website where I can get it approved. I want to hide some boxes:) thanks.
Can someone help me. I'm trying to input the coordinates that i recorded for my geocache but its saying that its the wrong coordinates. What am i doing wrong?
+ThatOneGamerGuy the nano and micros usually has a small strip of paper tightly rolled up. The nano logs are about .5 inches wide. and the micro are about 1.25 inches. The sizes may very depending how small your container is.
+ThatOneGamerGuy Use anything that is watertight. I have seen in my area someone cut the tops off two soda bottles and glued them together to form a small capsule about 2 inches in size, glue one cap shut and glue a strong magnet on it. This keeps the elements out and allows you to stick it to metal objects.
Why does your app not let you submit a hidden geocache? Why would you not explain how to use the website to hide a geocache and to avoid areas that are within red circles. I almost hid a cache thinking as long as I have the coordinates that i could just create an entry when i get home but there are so many locations in red circles that i would have had to return to retrieve my cache since it's location was invalid. This experience was not what i expected and I'm far less likely to go premium if this is what i can expect from the free version.
I am in Bihar Sharif India and here is no geocache so i want to start trend of geocache in my area but you atleast have to cache 20 geocache to hide geocache that's make no sense.How will i find geocache if here is no geocache.
If it's your house, yes, if its not your property remeber to ask the owner, and tell the reviewer you asked the people who live in the property you can place it there, even if it's your house
I saw the video published and immediately went to look for it. I'm please that it was in the first place I looked. I regret that I wasn't first to view; maybe next time. Thanks for placing.
This tells me nothing about how to do this. There is nothing on the app or the website that says how to actually register a geocache so that others can view it and find it.
Yes they’re saying it but u don’t need to some people in my area have only 2 i have 19 and my is published I mean when u have 20 it will be faster done
So your telling me that I need to find 100 geocaches to be able to make my own bruh there is only 13 in my city and I can only access 4 of those bc I don't have premium, bruh
You don't need to find 100 caches! We recommend finding a few caches before hiding your own. Finding a variety of caches makes it easier to create an enjoyable experience for others.

How do you include a log book in the small geocaches like the bolt shaped one?
In really small ones, log books are often just a few scrolls of paper.
There's a website called TechBlazer from which you can print free logsheets of several different sizes, one of which is small enough to fit in a nano-sized cache like the fake bolt one. Try it!

Daniel Curry Probably on their end. Restart your device, re-install the app, or close out the website/app
I have a big question and maybe dumb, but how do you request maintenance on a cache?
There is a selection when you go to log a cache that is "maintenance required".
