  • You know how to make them really well hidden? don't put one down LOL! people will be walkin around like WTF!

  • thats great fun geocaching

  • This is so awesome. Really well done. Thanks for sharing.

  • can you keep what you find and replace it with something else?

  • @MaryStewart You can do as long as is the same value. This does not apply to gecoinns or travelbugs

  • This looks great fun. Just registered on geocaching

  • This is a great video. We have been geocaching since Feb and its great fun. See our video of us in Spain in an abandoned mine looking for a geocache!!

    Jashleigh.. scary geocaching in Spain.

  • Have not been doing it long but love it,cool vid

  • good video

  • Isnt the 2nd guy alamogul???

  • The first lady seems to be describing someone sawing a public fence post to make it into a cache. I wish she'd said that it was on the property of the person with the saw...

  • My favorite cache so far is in Smyrna, TN It is called roof overlook

  • great video guys

  • OMG this Geocaching sounds cool. i don't have a gps but im going to get one now after watching this vid :) i cant wait to get out there and find something :) and leave things for others, omg im turning into a geek but i don't care. this will be my hobby from now on. thanks for posting this vid im reborn.

  • Hi! I liked this video very much, and made a version with brazilian portuguese subtitles. If you authorize me, I would like to keep this version in youtube, with link to the original video, of course. The ideia is improve the geocaching here in Brazil.

    Thanks! As soon I got the video uploaded, I´ll post the url, so you can check it

  • I love geocaching! This video is awesome.

  • Fascinating sport. Just probe those holes with your Walking Stick before you put your hand in there!

  • You have done a wonderful job on this video capturing the joy of Geocaching. Well done! Sharing it now....

  • @jefforlowski where do you buy travle bug's?

  • I just gotten into Geocaching about a month ago, my high school Forensics teacher took the class out caching a few times, and I really enjoy it. Me and my friends recently hid our first cache (as the last part of our caching unit in class). Although I don't have my own GPS (we use my friend's dads), I'm really interested in getting one now. Maybe I'll find a cheap, used on online.

    Awesome video, thanks a lot!! :)

  • I'm in the market for a handheld, saw some good articles on gpssatnavreviews (.) com

  • Brilliant!

    Got 3 today. Thats 6 altogether! Totally hooked!

  • the toughest one that i have come across was a bolt that was on a power tower... it was crazy... no idea where the creator got it

  • great stuff.there is one near here.i think i'll check it out.

  • Great video I really enjoy this. This is a great way to get you and or the family out of the house.

  • What a great video!

    Love the background music too!

    Thumbs up guys!

  • how do you know if someone didnt make up a location and cache?

  • Loved this video so much, I've included it in my article today on geocaching which you can find at Examiner.com in Calgary under recreation.

  • I am NOT a nerd, I am SOOOO offended.

    I have a passion for the outdoors and ecology.

  • Sometimes, when I go on a geocaching adventure, I like to pluck off my golf ball-sized dingleberries and put them in the geocache.

  • I just found my first one about an hour ago!

  • Weird I had a group looking for a geocache behind me.

  • I love this video! I'm in Australia and will be heading to the UK for the first time in August 2010 for work, and I was utterly delighted when Gloucester UK was mentioned in the video, the coincidence made me laugh. I love the times I've Geocached here in Australia, and I'm thrilled to be heading to the UK, and largely because I want to plant a trackable item and have it travel back home to Australia. I can't wait! Thank you so much for sharing the appeal and excitement of Geocaching :)

  • "it's a way to get nerds out in the wilderness" love it! lol

    I just started geocaching, I hike and camp already, and a huge nerd.

    I always figured I'd have to travel to find a geocache. Then I find out my area, even my craptastic town, is just peppered with geocaches!

  • @sissopolis that would be a good field trip teach them how a gps works.

  • i posted false coordinates to china

  • @cosmin5678 thats not the idea your posting false information.

  • im doing one

  • love the line "a good way to get nerds out into the wilderness"

  • You made my eyes water. I can't wait to get started. Thanks for this video.

  • I love geocaching, we found 5 today with a travel bug! HORAY

  • What exactly is a travel bug hitel and how do i know if theres one in my area? Great video, I'm new to cacheing . Just bought my first kit to hide.

  • @SnooK8522

    the title of the cache should include 'tb hotel'. it is typically a large cache that can hold a lot. example in my area is GC1KXH2. it was a 5 gallon bucket, cut to fit it's camo and is the home to many travel bugs at any given time.

  • So is it really for nerds? Is it that fun?  I'm scared it will take up time I might want to devote to something else.

  • @BeeRich33 just don't do it if you don't like/want it LOL

  • @tekknorat I don't know if I want it or not. My Edge 705 is pretty cool schtuff on the bike.

  • @BeeRich33 i c, hard decision

  • 20 and 30ft ?

    new ones have like 15ft

  • You can get as close as 6ft with a GPSr, but the accuracy isn't static. Depending on where you are and how many satellites you are using, it can be between 6ft-30ft accuracy.

  • thank you! i love it when i learn something new!

  • this is a fabulous video explaining geocaching! i just wonder if you would be interested in sharing it with me? is there any way you could email it, or is it too large of a file? i would be willing to purchase it, if you could make that an option on here. i have some senior citizens that i am trying to get involved in this. what a fabulous way to explain to them "what" it is!

  • @janeyroth if you use Firefox, you can install an add-on to just download the video.

  • @toughcup or download vdownloader its free. Google vdownloader it will take you to the page

  • I'd love to send you the video somehow, but the easiest thing for me right now is certainly for you to show it people through youtube. How else would you like to show it?

  • @janeyroth If you can just send it to a face book and then save or share it, that might work to.

  • @janeyroth i think you can buy it on ur iphone... i did $13 =D

  • what a great video. captures the essence of why I love this game...fun, creativity, getting outside, technology. The geotykes love it too. My wife...still warming up to it.

    I love the fence post idea talked about at the beginning.

  • I've never heard it called a blinker before, in washington we always call them nano's it's interesting seeing what geocaches are like around the America and the world

  • What song do you use in the introduction?

  • It's an original song by Jack Conte. He does solo stuff, and his band is called Pomplamoose

  • uhhgg...IM ADDICTED!

  • not my thing, but it looks fun!

  • Thanks folks, for making this video!

  • Just made my first find yesterday! And another today! Although I managed not to find three, which was kind of a disappointment...

  • What song do you use as the intro

  • Celebrating the year anniversary of my first find! I have only found 50, but now that I actually HAVE a GPS it will be easier and more enjoyable. I plan on many more to come in 2010

  • My wife and I have been geocaching for awhile now. We now have found over 1200 caches, most of those have been in Utah. The most difficult thing about geocaching in northern Utah is the snow in the winter. This video is well done. There are other great videos done by geosnippits. Good luck to all those that want to start. Its a great way to get out of the house. We enjoy it.

  • I have just started geocaching and after watching this video, it appears to be a contest of either who can find the most caches or who can make a cache the hardest to find. I don't believe geocaching was meant to be either.

  • I love GeoCaching!!

  • I got a GPS for christmas, it looks just like the one at 3:52. It is the Garmin 60Cx.

    Im dying to try this!

  • Insane.. Yes, and I can't wait till next week when my GPS gets here. Everyone I told about it laughs then comes up and wants to do it. I think that SMART humans have been driven to explore since the dawn of time and this is the newest way to exercise those instincts. Looking for something that might not ever be there.

  • I'm learning about geocaching in preparation for starting it. Best video I've seen on it!

  • aw, ive got the same blue gps as the girl in the video :) that things like my most prized possession!

    haha most difficult cache for me to retrieve was in south korea, in a park in the heart of the tourist district of seoul. REALLY difficult to look inconspicuous when youre a young white girl in a park filled with older asian men.

  • Great video !

  • They are all listed... sooo thats unlikely

  • Read about CITO (Cache In, Trash Out) and you'll get your answer.

  • went caching yesterday without a gps had to use google maps and alot of looking very fun

  • Wonderful short film . Great group of geocachers. Makes me want to go out geocaching again (found one today, found 3 yesterday).

  • IVE BEEN THERE AT 00:39

  • Good film. Thanks!

  • geocaching is such a great fun. Most people want to go and explore the world yet most dont fully know where they have come from...geocahing allows you to explore your home surroundings. If you go on holiday it allows a different view of that location thru the eyes of the hider! Its such a great way of exercising!!!!!

    But a slow day of...10?? wish i did 10 each day!!

  • i didnt go feocaching today but the boys i was with new loads of them and showed me i was like wow and im might be goin next week :P

  • Bam!!!! i just found my new hobby (hopefully it can replace my drinking/party&bullshitting.!!­!Sweet!!!

  • Hey just went on my first hunt today. It's super fun. I hope this replaces your old hobby. You'll love it. I wish you the best :D

  • i dont get it what happends when someone finds it? do they take it or what? do they just erase that spot and find set up somewere else?

  • ps3bapekill1,

    When you find a cache, you can take an item out of it if you want. You just have to replace it with something else. For example, you might want to take a matchbox car, and you would leave, in it's place, a little parachute man.

  • They Log their find in the Logbook then they may or may not take a swap and then they replace the cache as they found it. From there once you get home you log your cache on the geocaching website. And your all done. :-)

  • soo what if somebody takes whats there and dont put nothing back?

  • Nothing happens, its based on an honour system.

  • I think you want to say

    "It means they're (they are) a worthless of shit"

    Sadly your lack of grammar, reveals how valuable your opinion really is worth.

  • Seriously? "a worthless of shit"? honestly. If i was going to write a backfiring comment like that, i would at least attempt to check my comment before submitting it. Especially if it is about something like grammar.

  • "It means they're a worthless of shit"

    I think you meant to say

    "It means they're a worthless pile of shit."

  • @ps3bapekill1 they break a rule. they have to put something back. To keep the geocach alive.

  • @ndavid27 Except when you TNLN or take nothing leave nothing which is what I do for all of the geocaches I find

  • Look at my channel for Geocaching Container ideas and 2 GPS Reviews! Thanks, -Geocache Finder

  • Love it just started last week and already found almost all near my home

  • the first time i went geocaching is when i went with my cousin i have smurfula and another one.geocaching is a treasure of an adventure.when i geocache i feel like indiana jones!!lol

  • i do it with out gps i just draw out my maps.and write down the clues and everything!

  • that looks like mt. tam

  • i geocache its FUN!!!

  • there is non in birmingham =/

  • i would set a cach if only i could get an ammunition box :(

  • a cache can be anything from a film canister to a lock and lock box. I have a geocache made out of a coffe tin! See geosnippits for ideas.

  • Is your coffee tin made out of metal? If it is it will rust

  • Why not paint a coffee can or other container, it's cheaper. :-)

  • If its a plastic one it would be fine but if its metal it would rust..

  • i used a bowl with a lid.  it works

  • OMG it looks so fun everybody should try this its the best thing in the world every body should blow all of there gas money on something very cool the great.. geocaching

  • Garmin GPSMAP 60. i got mine about 2 years ago and it has never let me down.  waterproof, withstands drops, holds LOTS of geocaches, everything you could want in a GPS. Good Luck

  • So, please name 3 GPS handhelds that can handle this game! I'd like to get started, but am uninformed about handhelds. Need one that does 'hiking' I guess?

  • found out their was like 6 less than .4 of a mile from me found a tree with lots of sticks under it couldnt find the cache but gunna look in those sticks tommorow

  • Its awesome... but it takes so much gas.

  • not necessarily, I can bike to several hundred geocaches within 10 miles

  • Wow. I want to try this now. I always thought about trying this out, but I've never really had the time or the money for a GPS device. I really want to try this out now, maybe using xkcd's algorithm.

  • aaww.. this is the best "report/documentary" I´ve found on geocaching so far. cool :).

  • I'm gonna put 100 dollars in a box in lake chabot of California. Date 05/20/09 Good luck ^^

  • I love geocaching. If you haven't tried it, you really should. It's not about "finding stuff", and I think the video could have emphasized that more. It's more like a way to discover cool off the map type places that you probably didn't know existed in your area.

  • wow..its just a hobby just like ANYTHING else so your really the "retard"

  • Yeah! You tell em. Do something useful like sitting on your ass ranting about other people's outdoor hobbies on YouTube!

  • To be honest, that's all I do most of the day...

  • Icant read what you said :( I sure it was a diss to this thing =S

    :P

  • Most people dont care about finding the useless trinkets. I do it for the hunt and to see places ive never been before. You should try it before you criticize.

  • damn i wanna smoke your dick

  • Apparently you've never heard of "cache in, trash out". Cachers don't just walk around finding things, they also clean up the world.

  • You're right, I have never heard of "cache in, trash out" part- made me look at this differently. Thanks for letting me know.

  • You're welcome. Sometime people just go to find the cache and that's it. Others actively practice it when they have the opportunity to. Occationally, they have a cache in, trash out event where they organize a hunt while cleaning up an area.

    Pretty cool, really. Helps get the locals out and about to have fun (and even out of towners), and clean up their neighborhood.

  • I love geocaching in the mountains.

  • I love geocaching, geo caching is such fun, when you find one.. la la... theres a song on here somewhere.. :)

    That bloke is cool, finding all those caches. :) ive found 34 so far and released 4 travel bugs.. rats ;) lol

    i hope to find a, first to find badge one day.

  • Well done. Enjoyable intro to geocaching.

  • The best geocaching video on here. Thanks

    Ma & Pa

  • I used to geocache alot, until my geocaches started to get stolen, especially one with over 7 travel bugs that went missing. The same person stole a travel bug pertaining to the vietnam veterans memorial. That is what caused me to stop.

  • I really like this video about geocaching.... Something about the other ones bug me but this one is perfect. Well done!

  • great vid. much more interesting than the other geocaching vids on this site, but just as helpful.

    Great job :)

  • anyone know where the REI gps guy was in ?

  • i started geocaching when my teacher in outdoor rec class made us do it and i was so amazed at the places they hid the caches that my my bought a GPS and now we're going to start doing it more often

    Nice VID ^_^

  • Very well done.

  • Excellent small video on geocaching

  • Excellent! I just found my 1st Geocache today and plan on doing it for a long, long time. Great video.

  • exelent well rounded vid

  • Nice video, very well explained. Favored =).

  • Lets not forget how much fun and how informative this can be when done with kids!

  • Ever had a geocacher get bitten by a rattler, muggled by a mtn. lion, arrested for suspicion of planting a bomb, assaulted for acting suspicious?

  • very well put together!

  • very very good video. looks very proffesional and has a very good explanation of our sport. CACHE ON!!!!

  • that was really well done. A great way to introduce geocaching to the world

  • What a nice job describing what we do,excellent geocaching video. I posted it to my myspace

    CITO

  • Great video,thanks

  • Thanks for a well made video.

    Good Job!

  • A fence post hide is not illegal.If the person placing the cache is on their own property or has asked permission from the owner of said property.

  • The fence post hide is a good example of and illegal hide

  • A fence post hide is not illegal. The person who places the geocache has to get permission from the owner of the fence first.

  • Ask your local reviewer, even with permission the cache not get published.

    The is because someone will find this cache an copy it without permission. Then again I live in the land of illegal caches. I find at least one illegal cache every time I go out caching for a day. One day I found three illegal caches.

    You might ask about the fence post cache in the geocaching forums

  • Just because others copy it illegally does not mean the first is illegal. If given permission, it is legal. If someone else copies and doesn't... then shame on them.

    Still doesn't make the "entire" idea illegal.

  • Hi im a cacher my names sunbeamsam and iv found 40 caches.

    On my bike !!!

  • I just started caching in my area - and have more fun stashing 4 caches and reading the comments of the finders! Pounding hooves has opened up our trails to cachers from all over the globe!

  • 7000 in the "bay" area?!?!?

    We have about 2500 in Victoria, our entire STATE!!!

    WOW!!! Great video too!!

  • Great video! Really enjoyed watching it. It's a good intro for new geocachers. Thanks for posting it.

  • Hehe, i love the pronunciation of glouster

  • I've just discovered geocaching. Guess i'm officially a nerd!! Anyone near Newcastle upon tyne, uk...check out Shaftoe crag!!! I've lived 20 minute drive from it all my life & never knew i had such beauty on my doorstep. Stunning!! Great cache too. This video was fun. The Gibbons Clan. X

  • Brilliant! I looked at all of the other caching videos and none were as good as this. I think the immense amount of 'B roll' made it that much better. Thanks!

  • Very well done.

    Rusty, Orlando, FL

  • An excellent video, Well done.

  • "Taken a fence post and chopped a section out of it and then took the section home, hollowed out the inside of the fence post, put a container in there, and went back and replaced it."

    I hope it was your fence post!
