Enjoyed the video.

[geocachespoilers]

cool video

[mikeghasmail]

Tried to find my first cache last Friday in Derby, UK without success. This great video is inspiring me to keep trying to find my first - there are 10 within 15 minutes of where I live. Unfortunately tomorrow was the day I planned - and will have to perservere - rain or not!

[XxHeroOfTime]

im glad this lady is a great geocacher

[boysveloclub]

We just started looking for caches and its very exciting. Thanks for the video.

[Ovni121]

Thanks for the video

[GatheringSticks]

I enjoyed this video..cant wait to try.

[olddemography31]

I like to geo cache, I got my handheld from gpssatnavreviews (.) com

[johnmonk66]

luckily in new york it is hard to find a spot with no cell service, so i am licky, and my iphone brings me to within 9 feet of a geocache, which beats any gps i have ever tried. guess i gotta stick to geocaching in areas with cell reception for now

[jotaeleproductions]

@johnmonk66

Obviously you've never used my GPSr! Mine is WAAS enabled and is usually accurate within 3 meters or less. Mine practically plants me on top of the cache (or underneath for those that are hidden above) unless I'm in an area where there is signal interference (in which case my GPSr is still usually accurate within 20 feet). I particularly enjoying wilderness caching, which is why I purchased my particular device. I am glad that geocaching with your phone is meeting your needs.

[johnmonk66]

@jotaeleproductions Don't get the reason for the reply, you are saying your gps is as good as my phone?  Actually last Sunday in fairly open woods I got within 3 feet of a cache.

[johnmonk66]

Good video, but some phones now have apps from geocaching sites built in, I can geocache with only mu iphone now, which is handy

[jotaeleproductions]

@johnmonk66

True. But, cell phone geocaching does not work so well in remote areas. That's when you need a real deal GPSr. : )

[HistoryCaching]

Great video! Thanks for making this! Very helpful tips and watching this makes me want to go on another geocache! -Ryan (HistoryCaching)

[MetalApe]

Very well made Video! Thank you for making and posting.

[justinge999]

Nice video! Thanks, I'm gonna start Geocaching and get a gps so I don't have to use Google Maps!

[kevmorris3000]

Thought this was a wonderful intro to Geocaching. Thank you for making it.

[bdawg197264]

i just started today found 4 i am hooked

[lewis1726]

geo cashing is fun but Alamogul does alot at one time,its tireing

[spedranger]

What a great video! I'm just learning, haven't even started geocaching yet. This video gave me good info.

[jotaeleproductions]

I am glad to hear the video gave you good info. I hope you will get a chance to embark on your first geocaching adventure soon. Have fun!

[roneekruger]

Oh JL.....Sure nice to see you! Great informative video. I never knew...

[TeddyRCacher]

Very nice video! One suggestion for a newbie is to look online for a local geocaching club or organization.

The experienced cacher is always willing to assist the rookie. They may even create a caching date with you. You can see first hand how to find a cache, but understand not all gps units will have the same accuracy and the cache could be some 20-50 feet away in the woods!

[toledopilot]

Great job with the video. The woman was excellent in all aspects.

[TarotLadyLissa]

I dont have a GPS yet, can I still geocash?

[oliski2006]

yes, but its hardr. when you look at the map, you can click on satelite image...you do yourself some points, like supose the 3rd tree from X tree. thats what I do..

[piraten20]

Yeah, i geocache without gps, :) its work great.

[Epmonito]

is that even possible

[piraten20]

yes it is!

[tylers911]

i have found 5 so far in my town but the geocache named coverd bridge view is missing

[Mattyoak]

Did a geocache a while back with a group but this video was a good refresh before I look into buying a GPS of my own. Straight to the point and fun to watch. Loved the cheesy music too :P

[denelson83]

Gotta go paperless, my friend.

[jotaeleproductions]

And indeed I have gone paperless (a long time ago). However, not all beginners are able to start out paperless. The video is intended to help people get started geogaching. It is by no means the end of things to learn!

[BentQuarter]

i just tried to look for 3 and didnt find them but im still hooked i also hid 3 and waiting for them to pop up on the site

[jotaeleproductions]

Hang in there. It took me about five or six tries before I finally found my first one. It get's easier after that.

[JagBetty]

Jeezo! Charisma by-pass.

[tibiartist]

Yay! im only 15 and i just found my first cache...

[jotaeleproductions]

Congratulations! I hope you are hooked!

[Jozii89]

Great video! The lines sound a bit over-rehersed/as though you're just reading them, but the composition, choice of music and execusion of the video is great :D

[CornellFinch]

Hey - just a quick note to say thanks for the vid. I'm hoping Santa will bring a GPS for christmas so I can participate!

[gunstar013]

terrific 101. before i began this hobby your video was one of the first tutorials i found. from your suggestion, a walking stick has been a favorite of mine. many of the caches are in wooded area and my walking stick has made it easier to move debris and poke around the area of a tree. thanks!

[booga315]

Great introductory video. How about a second episode covering logging finds online and moving Travel Bugs/Geocoins? This seems to be the most misunderstood area of caching for beginners. Happy caching! Dave

[MrCOgeo]

Excellent composed and comprehensive tutorial! Now "required" reading for new and old geocachers alike here at the MrCOgeo locale...

Congratulations and thanks for creating this all, Corey MrCOgeo

[gobbisharon]

Great Vid, just started Geocaching myself, real good fun

[Badbrad234]

Very well thought out and through tutorial. I'm a fellow geocacher and have made a few myself as well.

Thanks for the movie

[jotaeleproductions]

Your comment means a lot, coming from a fellow cacher/videographer. Thanks!

[gijoedaisy]

I always forget my walking stick! Nice video!

[lastwarrior1981]

great job... well done. I'd give you an A. See you on the trail

[jotaeleproductions]

Thanks LW. Happy caching.

[JamieoftheNorth]

Well done on the video!

[LRAinWNY]

Thanks for the video! I had never even heard of geocaching until yesterday, and now I am seriously interested in getting into it! Cash is limited, so it will be a bit yet before I can get a GPS unit, but what a wonderful way to explore!

[jotaeleproductions]

Geocaching is a blast! You might go ahead and check the geocaching (.com) website for caches located in your area (by zipcode). Some can be found just by the clues without really needing a GPSr.

[jotaeleproductions]

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

[reinl7]

so co0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0­o0o0l

[longtab]

[jotaeleproductions]

Boy, you've really gone gangbusters!  Way to go. Welcome to the most fun game on the planet!

[gibby5031]

[jotaeleproductions]

Wow! Congrats on the FTF prize. That's amazing. Thanks for the positive feedback regarding my video. I'm glad it helped.

[fofangfu]

Nicely done! Superb editing, content and background music appropriate to the scene.

[jotaeleproductions]

Thanks. You obviously know your stuff in regards to video editing. I appreciate the feedback.

[apologetickid]

Thanks for the great vid! Helped me figure out the basics!

[jotaeleproductions]

I'm glad you found it helpful. That certainly was my intent!
