Amazing joystick padlock, The city map geocache

[99freakyguy]

IKEA RETAIL PARK YEAH

[CleverGeocacheHides]

I purchased a lock and created a cache hide of my own in honor of this one in Sacramento, California - USA. Varied it enough to make it my own and placed it along a beautiful trail along the Sacramento River near my home. Thanks for the great idea!

[vt1875]

i got myself one! thanks! :)

[mariokartwii411]

lol at the end " Cheers! " in a tiny voice lol.

[tasauri]

anyway.. nice job.. keep uploading ur videos

[GermanyBert]

@tasauri Probably has acetate over it.

[kartovo]

Incredible!

[CaptTerror]

Was looking at these padlocks on the shelf thinking the same thing you obviously were :)



[brinelson25]

Another great one, thanks Sven!

[SuperNobro]

@2000jago it wouldn't be impossible.

[lemmykc]

Absolutely brilliant, however I have one concern. In your rant about the reviewers you said you weren't going to hide any more. PLEASE DON'T FOLLOW THAT THROUGH!! Sven., your caches are so good, so varied and so utterly awesome that the caching world would lose a true gem if you left the 'hiding scene'. For our sake anyway, PLEASE CONTINUE TO HIDE CACHES!! That is my concern, you don't want to hide anymore.

PS, if you are really pissed off with the reviewers, go to Opencaching or make your own

[RJA10001]

my friend has one of those locks... all you have to do it push up to open it...

[GermanyBert]

@RJA10001 probably because your friend did not set the combination sequence.

[TheMacShake]

Nice one sven

[dAftWeirdOs]

simple genius! :)

[alberrrt69]

Love all the thought you put into this one.

[natepen]

How would anyone ever remember that code if they used it for a normal lock?

[murdoch2486]

Hi guys, does anyone know what username GeocacheSpoliers goes by on the geocaching website? we'd really like to give some of his caches a go!

[geocachingvlog]

@UniqueCaches

Was about to say the same thing!!!!

[twb555]

I'd like to get one of those containers too...love this one.

[SuperNobro]

@2000jago Well I was just saying if anyone watches this video before finding the cache they wouldn't have to go to the city if they copy down the arrows. Not that anyone would do that.

[randomunicorn1107]

your so creative XD

[mngeocaching]

Really well done cache Sven. Thanks for sharing.

[UniqueCaches]

We saw that padlock while shopping and considered buying it for a cache but didn't have any ideas on how to implement it into our cache. Love the map!! Excellent!

[SuperNobro]

Nice cache! Except someone might try to open it because they saw the arrows in the video. :( But other than that nice hiding place to.

[2000jago]

@SuperNobro Even if you see the arrows in the video, the location of the cache is not listed, so how would you know where to find that box based on this video?

[svengalie]

@SuperNobro that would be impossible.

[rustyknightjustme]

I like this one a lot.

Please check out item #4 of 1.1. Fundamental Placement Guidelines...

[2000jago]

@rustyknightjustme Perhaps your message should be directed at the person who approved his cache listing...

[rustyknightjustme]

@2000jago The reviewer would have no idea that the cache owner glued an item to local government signage. It's the cache owners job to comply to the rules. Don't get me wrong, I like the cache and the technique for displaying the combination to the lock. I'm a subscriber to geocachespoilers and like to see all the caches and listen to the rants. I even wrote that "popular geocaching site" to help get him re-instated after being banned.

[2000jago]

@rustyknightjustme My point is simply that if the cache has already passed the screening process, then although it may be the cache placers responsibility to ensure his cache meets the requirements, the person who approved the cache is at LEAST equally guilty of not abiding by them.

[rustyknightjustme]

@2000jago I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Have a great weekend and get out there and find some caches!

[2000jago]

@rustyknightjustme Fair enough! :)

Wow, it's nice to encounter an adult on youtube for a change. Happy caching!

[Uriel1816]

Excellent!

[codydh3]

Is that a QR code in the geocache

[YKKcaches]

LOVE how you get the combo!!!!!! Thats AWESOME!!!!

[thetexascrazydaisy30]

Love this lock!

[StefanPetrucci]

Very nice geocache! I hope people will soon start placing geocaches in Serbia here, we have a mere 130 or so in the whole country -.- :(

[thrustingmaggot]

I've been working one one quite similar to this. Nice job on how to figure the combination!

[WhiteCloudsBlueSkies]

cool! very nice one and the padlock is great!! liking the high "cheers" at the end of the vid ;)

[007vauxhall]

Good idea that :-)

[Flamunio]

Like i said you live close to us Sven... we have not long come back from ikea!

[fluoridekid]

Given the curiosity of people at large, I'm surprised that nobody has actually stolen it by now. I mean, if a person didn't have a clue about geocaching, their curiosity would undoubtably get the better of them and they'd want to know what was inside it and why someone had left it there. Anyhow, it's a neat little cache and a great means to have to solve its secrets. :D

[imoAndy]

pretty neat. I like that a lot better than the traditional pad lock

[DENBIGHVIDS]

Amazing !

[tundraman217]

those padlocks are pretty popular here in America. You can get them at any office supply store near the begging of the school year.

[l1fechooser]

You should use a head mounted camera for some of your caching videos as you so often need to use two hands. Great videos by the way.

[svengalie]

@l1fechooser possibly a good idea. I do have one.

[tobbesupra217]

think its the best one u made .......yet:)

[drunkenmonkey31]

How far from heanor do you live?

Couldn't do the extreme 1 near there as I had a stomach bug :(.

[svengalie]

@drunkenmonkey31 an extreme one near Heanor?

I live in Eastwood.

[PinksSoSexy]

love the joystick lock!!! my niece has trouble with the numerical ones at school... i just may have to get her this one!

[TIEclon]

that's really really cool.

[RyanAndTheCrew]

Amazing!

[Mathmadden]

Great idea!
