  • "Life is too important to be taken seriously." -Oscar Wilde

  • Ever since I read North of Beautiful I have wanted to go geocaching! It seems so fun.

  • @LibraryGirlKris omgn I LOVED that book!!!!!

  • Can't. Stop. Staring. At. Mountains.

  • I know What GEOCACHING IS!!!!!!!!!!!! me and my dad did it till our GPS broke...

    

  • geocaching?

    The internet is making me discover too much!

    As soon as there isn't a meter thick layer of snow outside.... I'm going for a HUNT!

  • I used to do geocaching(:

  • This reminds me of a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. quote: "Jokes can be noble. Laughs are exactly as honorable as tears. Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion, to the futility of thinking and striving anymore. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward — and since I can start thinking and striving again that much sooner."

  • Fun while making the world a better place= most important thing

  • Her Royal Derpyness!!! Lemon!!!!!!!!!!

  • Lemon~~~

  • WIERD AL IS IMPORTANT

  • where is that . its beautiful

  • 1:23

    I totally agree!!! xD

  • "no man is an Island" just wanted to say that if a man is an island you will not hear from him, so a man can be an island but no one will know or hear him... Areas like that are in my back yard because I am a Navajo Indian and I live in the mountains and it is all ways beautiful.

  • ....amen

  • Yes, the man who used to live in a sewer with his hamster pal is very important!

  • "Hi hi hi"

  • You're right, Hank, having fun is incredibly important! Every day comes by once, and only once, so try to make each day different and fun. Life should'nt be boring!

  • I wish I lived a place as beautiful as that >.<

  • Geocaching is so fun! But it's more fun in the cities, I think, since then you feel all James-Bond-y while trespassing and stuff. :D

  • Me and my best friend Kai found a geocache on accident when we were hiking. It was so cool!

  • This title reminds me of ferris bueller's day off!

  • yes.

  • Dude, you should try Letterboxing. (Letter boxing?) it's pretty similar except you use your unique(sp?) stamp in the book instead of just your name.

  • Hank! That's... just east of missoula right? kind of near the M? because if i'm right i will be thrilled with myself. yay for being a montana nerdfighter!!

  • @ButterBeer4 I don't know where in Montana, but I know for a fact that Hank lives in Montana. So have a mini dance party and celebrate! :D

  • @CakeBeneathTheIcing Mezula.... I think. I don't remember if he's moved or not x,x

  • YES, Weird Al is important. He's like the only artist I listen to....

  • A wise man once said "Men are that they might have joy." Fun is important! John and Hank Green are important!

  • Fun!!

  • Hey John, would you create an annotation link to my channel in the parts where you're talking about geocaching so folks can see what it's all about? :)

  • Fun creates happiness, which causes less stress. Stress can cause medical problems, and a study has shown that the percentage of deaths of happy subjects are significantly less than the deaths of subjects with stress. Plus, it's just a nice feeling.

  • 2:18 What is that little white creature in the bottom left of the screen? Is it just some random dog?

  • I laughed in math class recently (because factorials are hilariously enthusiastic), and my math teacher told me there's a time to be serious, and I should take this seriously. That killed my good mood and made me wonder why it was so important to be unhappy, when I feel so much better when I'm happy. It doesn't make sense to me how people would not allow themselves to be happy.

  • @TacoWash your maths teacher seems to be under the impression that maths is not happy-making, so you must have been made happy by something other than maths.

    Why she chose a carear based on something she did not find happy-making is beyond me.

  • Those are some beautiful surroundings surrounding you.

    And I'm working on that whole "being fun" thing, as my NaNovel this year was an epicfail in the fun and a totally depressing win in the serious. Which basically means a "fail". So thanks for that little reminder there, Hank. :3

  • EEEEEEEEEL I GOT THE SAME GLASSES AS HANK GREEN

  • I went to look for a Doctor Who quote in the comments, and I'm glad there were a few, but you all should have quoted The Waters of Mars when his response to "state your name, rank, and intention" was "the doctor, doctor, FUN." duh. :D

  • I love geocaching

    this one summer my back prickled whenever I was near a geocache, and there was one at this park we went to all the time and I didn't realize that there was one there and it was like "oh boy let's play groundies AAH PRICKLE PRICKLE PRICKLE"

  • But you don't have to think about many serious things...like a crap job

  •  Is this in Colorado?

  • What are the coordinates? I want tosearch it on google earth.

  • @219kenzie Ah, yes. But if everyone the Doctor meets is important, is everyone who hasn't me him unimportant?

  • "What do you mean you're not important?" "In all my 900 years I've never met anyone who wasn't important" -The Doctor (both quotes)

  • hehe, "log" book

  • what happens if it's fun to be serious...... paradox!

  • so liking this vid.... thumbs on this comment if u r 2!

  • ohhhkay I am now obsessed with Geocaching.. Green Bay Geocache league anyone?

  • I love geocasching!! (sp??)

  • ha! now it's a Vlog book!

  • you live THERE?! WANT.

  • I love the scenery behind him. I was staring at it the entire time....

  • you have a pretty doggie :D

  • Stephanie meyer. Ughhhhhhh you discust me. Good thing homeworkis fun. I agree fun i iomportant. When peopl are serius i just want to choke them to death. Wht you talke about in this video-that's wht makes us nerds, thats what mkes us better than the popular kids. "nerds are alowed o love stuff like jump up and down in your seat love stuff". Fun is important!

  • relax, he said steph was important, not that he wants to kiss her feet or anything.

    ps: if you find homework fun, maybe you should go over some spelling and grammar :)

  • @steampunkfangirl

    1) I'm pretty sure he said steph was fun, but whatever.

    2) I was in a rush to go to school when i made that comment, so i really didn't have time to go over it. Sorry.

  • @potterlife1 no need to apologise, im not your teacher, and i wasn't trying to pick on you, just conversing.

    ps: sorry for teh late reply, i don't check my account with any sort of regularity :)

  • @steampunkfangirl

    It's cool. I've been a little busy. Busy meaning mesaging, and more messaging and some more messaging.Haha. It would really help if you were my teacher because my language arts teacher is dumb as a rock.

  • you are so cool.

    and i hope that when i'm a grown-up i'll be just as fun.

    because there's nothing worse than an always serious adult.

  • i didn't know he hikes

  • hehe log book.. under a log..

  • FFFUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNN... i shall say that every time i run down a hill

  • Trying to make the world better is fun though, so they are equal lol

  • in new zealand, a hike is a walk that takes 4 days. and only real men can do them. thats why i don't.

  • @123456789robbie NZ needs more nerdfighters.

  • Stephanie Meyer is SO NOT IMPORTANT

  • @chelsealm100 Agreed. She created Harry Potter haters. That's a crime on a level equal to dark magic.

  • Geocaching for the win

  • I frakking love Geocaching. It's like extreme I Spy.

  • Fun IS important. So is being serious but I think that in this fast paced world we live in we all need to take a few minutes a day having fun and unwinding.

  • i thought you said cash...

  • Weird al?! he is extremely important, he reminds us why we love our pancreases, wait, what is the plural of pancreas?

  • First Vlogbrothers video I saw, I'm now proud to be a Nerdfighter. DFTBA.

  • OH MY GAWD you love weird al too we have so much in commin and oh you just lost the game

  • I went geocaching today!

  • You are a brilliant philosopher.

  • Thank you, Hank. This video made me cheer up right quick (not that they don't always, but this one in particular put me in a good mood). And it made me wanna run amok in nature. However, you have the advantage of living somewhere that's really pretty whereas...I have a wheat field next to my development x3

  • So, since you don't want it to be serious buisiness, how about making it srs bsns?

  • at first i thought you were talking about Sirius.... Sirius business IS fun.....

  • I love the last 6 seconds of this video, it sucks we dont have lots of mountain in michigan... well the giant lakes kick ass though.

  • Fun is the most important thing except for making the world better? Who says they're seperate things?

  • @epicsquidy123

    That's egzactly what i was thinking. Haha. Nerdfighters for the wn!

  • @epicsquidy123 They're separate things in the fact that making the world better doesn't always have to be necessarily fun :(

  • Laughing and smiling is bullshit. I never smile or laugh. Fuck that shit.

  • @keith53t emo...... stabing your self is important (For You).... Cry like a baby and screaming is important(Also your style)...

  • @mohamedALc Silencio you carcass fit for hounds. Snood off!

  • at some point somewhere a grown man ran down a very tall hillside screaming "FUNNNN!"

  • Hey... you stole my sweat-jacket!

  • Get it? The logbook...because it's hidden under a log.

    :)

  • WHY IS STEPHENIE MEYER IMPORTANT?!?!? I MUST KNOW YOUR REASONING

  • 'weird al yankovik is important!!!!' haha

  • log book under a log :D

  • Wait I don't get it, is he serious?

  • YAY GeoCaching!

  • if you don't have a GPS, the alternative to geocaching is letterboxing. You find spots online and you bring your stamp and stamp the letterbox logbook, and put the letterbox stamp in your personal logbook... it's like a little passport of fun and hiking :D

  • why do 53 people dislike fun??

  • @fender666gh They probably weren't being serious.

    This video stinks.............. XP

  • Oh my gosh; he does geocaching!!!

    My brother and I found a geocache over easter by accident :P

    This video makes me want to do it on a regular basis XD

  • Decreasing world suck is serious!

  • I just learned about Geocashing!

  • we're not supposed to see catherine's face Nooooo!!!

  • @SuperMrGameGuy The Katherine is fine, we just can't see the Yeti.

  • @WhatIfItWasPurple oh ok, got it

  • Hank, I thought you may like to know that the entire book I'm writing, In a World Without Flowers, was inspired by this video and the idea that fun, or having fun, is the most important thing that we, as humans, can do with our short lives. :)

  • @EmoYaoiFangirl I want to read that :)

  • @dolphin64575 thanks, :)

    

  • ADHD HELPS YOU HAVE FUN

  • @TheHalcyonCalamity

    That's  awesome

  • When you said "Austin Powers is important" that really threw me for a loop, because that's my boyfriend's name, and for whatever reason, I thought you meant him and not the movie character Austin Powers. Derpderp.

  • Weird Al is most definately important.

    Stephenie Meyer is fun?!!???!!!?

  • Importance doesn't only belong to either fun or serious. They're both important. Both help us express joy and pain.  They help us deal with what we experience.

    But I also I think fun and serious sometimes can be the same thing. When I'm seriously discussing something that's important to me with other people who respect what I'm saying, that's fun for me. I like to ask serious questions, and if the vlogbrothers' videos (and the comments) are any indication, so do other nerdfighters.

  • I spent the summers of my childhood running wild around the Tobacco Valley in Lincoln County... man do I miss Montana.

  • Seriously, Hank for president. sdjdfkjsfd. <3

  • I actually love that he said Stephanie Meyer is important. Because you know what? Fun is important. And so many people had a great time reading her books. Why should we hate on her for that? She just made a bunch of people happy. I enjoy Twilight jokes as much as the next person, but I don't think it's cool to hate on Stephanie Meyer. I say good for her for making so many people happy with her books.

  • Yay for Geocaching!!!! I love it!!

  • Why is important and stephanie meyer in the same sentence?

    also, you look funny when you run holding a camera

  • Hiking is walking where it is ok to pee.

  • weird al yankovic IS important! SPEAK THE TRUTH HANK!

  • Stephanie Meyer is NOT important. I'm pretty sure she's the opposite of that.

  • i love geocash

  • I like you videos Hank I really do, but I couldn't disagree more.

    Being serious is important, because life isn't always amazing and you true friends and lovers are the ones who will stick with you for more than just the "fun" parts. When the chips are down most of my "fun" friends would leave. Fairweather friends if there ever were any.

    I get that people need fun, but if it isn't backed up by a commitment to something you care about then life becomes a joke.

  • @Th3Hegemon Let me tell you how I see it.

    What is life all about? Nothing. So why not have fun while living?

    Fun is the most important thing in the world for me, because when i have fun i need nothing else. I live to have fun. And yes, sometimes you need to be serious. Maybe to get a job so you wont starve to death. But after being serious at your job, you wanna have fun right?

    Be serious to get some fun, then enjoy.

  • Hank is not a good Hufflepuff

  • You're a golden retriever Hank.

  • You're not supposed to show people you n00b... OMG I'm a giant squid if anger, sry

  • My parent got into geocaching last summer :) They heard about it from their friends, then told my siblings and me about it, like "We're doing this thing called geocaching!" ME: "Yeah, I've heard of that." :D

  • i purposely went to the comments just to thumbs up the comment that said something along the lines of "stephenie meyer is not important" that i knew would be here. thanks for not failing me nerdfigheria.

  • I'd piss myself if I saw that Hank Green's name was on my log book.

  • sometimes fun keeps the world from getting a better place, so what to do?

  • Beautiful.

  • Yea that uncovered paper log book is going to last ages under that log, huh? What did the first person leave? Some random piece of junk they found on the hike up?

  • sometimes, I poop.

    but i digress.....

  • But, Hank.

    HOW ARE MOSQUITO'S IMPORTANT?!

  • ok so i found a geo cache and it was an accident while i was hiking in south dakota

  • This is important fun. LET'S HAVE IT!

    ^_^

  • i went geocashing in peggy's cove!!! (for those who dont know. its this one awesome place in Nova Scotia, Canada.... yes i am canadian) and no... stephanie meyer made twilight... her importantness is non existent

  • You are adorable! :-)

  • ZOMFG i havn't been geocaching in ages (my dad used to talk me and it was awesome :D )

  • Wierd AL IS important! Who makes a song called "dont download this song" and then makes it available for download?!? A legend that's who!

  • Oh my gosh! I used to Geocache all the time! It's so much fun!

    Nerdfighter moment between me and Hank.. Sweeeeet.

  • the LOGbook was under a LOG. haha. :)

  • that final shot made me want to move to Montana!!

  • The difference between a hike and a walk, Hank, is that when you're hiking, it's okay to pee. Sometimes old people go hiking by accident.

    All credit for this joke goes to Demetri Martin

  • Greyhound! Aw, I love Greyhounds and mine was a brindle too!

  • @EbonyHood awww I have a brindle greyhound too! I love greyhounds

  • first video of your's i didn't like. you should take some things serious, as well beable to have fun. it's about balance, not indulgence.

  • That log is like a metaphor for trolls when Hank is running shouting "FUUUUUN!".

  • so wait a minute... the vlogbrothers geocache?!

    I have met my God. :D

  • I was going to recommend that you start geocaching but obviously you already have.

  • i went geocaching today

  • i always find doing prohect with friends is always fun and the project usually turns out better. that unless, or until i end the only one doing the work and then its not fun. atall

  • woo! geo cacheing!!! :P good stuff :D i do that!!!

    awesome :D

  • I do love my darling mummy but I wish she felt like fun was important. She's always so serious -.-

  • Gepcaching!!!!!

  • Fun is important? Not at the Middle School I went to.

  • wait was was the debacle of the streamy awards????

  • Not an URP but a...UPL? Unnaturally Placed Log? And your scenery is making me nostalgic. I have the fortune/misfortune to live in Austin, Texas (well, I go to school in San Antonio) which is an awesome place (Keep Austin Weird!) but has a conspicuous lack of mountains, unlike New Mexico, where I was born.

  • I disagree Sirius is very important.

  • @YogurtfishXP he was killed off in the 5th book he is no longer important although i was really mad when he died.

  • @YogurtfishXP this made me giggle

  • @YogurtfishXP I am serious, if you think it's so important spell it right!

  • @SemisonicNerdfighter im not sure if ur trolling or not, but i think he was making a harry potter joke. either tht or i dont get it. but im pretty sure it was a harry potter joke.

  • @poohinpooh ... I wasn't trying to troll and I just now realized he was referring to the three head dog monster thingy... well, I feel stupid.

  • Is this Montana? It looks beautiful!

  • I went geocaching one time... we found this huge collection of pokemon cards in one...

  • Thanks for the video. Fun is what is important in geocaching too. I've seen too many people who take it too seriously and would complain that who ever hid the cache you found used the wrong container. Hey, if someone had fun finding it, I'd say it was a good geocache. :D
