Loving the twin moment! You keep the inner child alive with this amazing funfilled video. I am envious of you, having such a large amount of caches in your vicinity.
It has been a while since we have gotten multiple caches in a day. Been saving many in the area to keep streaks going and calendar days. But that is all about done.
Thank you for sharing this video. Hopefully it will re-spark my love of Geocaching which I lost a few years ago. I live in a small town in the Mojave Desert. For those unfamiliar with the Mojave Desert, it is 31,000 square miles of desert in Southern California and parts of Nevada. A lot of places to hide and find Geocaches. When I got my account in 2011, there was nothing more exciting than hiking through the desert to find a container with a lot of cool swag to trade before signing the log book. On some occasions, I tool my grandson so he could enjoy finding some of the containers to see what was inside. Eventually, I joined a group of other Geocachers and we dubbed ourselves the DV5 (Death Valley Five) because the five of us spent a lot of time in the Death Valley part of the desert finding some older geocaches that hadn't been found in years. These were very difficult caches that took a lot of hiking through some of the most rugged parts of the desert where very few people dare to go. Day time temperatures can easily reach 120° in the summer. There were times when we would spend an entire day just finding some caches. One of our most memorable was a multi-stage cache that took us nearly 80 miles to three locations where planes from the nearby Naval Weapons Center had crashed in the 1940s and 1950s. The wreckage of one of the planes still sits on top of a hill some 80 years later. (The pilot ejected and survived the crash.) Eventually, one of our group moved away leaving us as the DV4. Of the remaining four, two of the members started ditching us and no longer wanted to find some of these difficult hides, they wanted to do series hides where geocachers hide a series of geocaches every one tenth of a mile apart along side some of the remote roads in the desert. These are nothing more than pill bottles with a log sheet inside. These types of geocaches are nothing more than a way for geocachers to build their numbers. One of the series is nearly 300 geocaches along Route 66 between Ludlow California and the Arizona border. To make matters worse, the cache owner doesn't maintain the caches, he or she expects people to bring extra pill bottles to maintain his hides since plastic pill bottles do not hold up well in the desert sun. I went along with the group on one of the smaller series of 100 caches and was absolutely bored the entire time. This isn't geocaching! There is no fun in this. But as it turned out, the desert became the place for several people to place series caches. If you get a chance, look up a geocaching map of the Mojave Desert and see how many different series caches are within the desert. Within a few months, those two Geocachers from our group had over 10,000 finds and were going to other places in the country to continue their quest of finding series caches. These series caches are highly irresponsible as the rules make it clear that the owners is responsible for maintaining their hides. It is well known that none of them do, they leave it up to those who find them. To me, series finds are nothing short of "Geocaching for the lazy." I got so frustrated with it and continued finding the difficult hides on my own. The other member of our group who didn't participate in the series finds ended up quitting the game altogether. I spent another year or so finding difficult geocaches until I broke both of my legs in a bad car accident. After several surgeries and a year of recovery I was still unable to go out in the desert like I used to. Over the last couple of years, I have gone Geocaching when my wife and I go on vacation to different places. We spent a week in Honolulu where I was able to go out and find some geocaches along the coast. I would like to find another group and spend some time in the desert again, but it seems that series hides are what some of the newer Geocachers are looking for. I hope the game doesn't end up becoming all about the numbers. If it does, then people will never understand where the game started.
Man, this video encompassed so many of my geocaching adventures, old and new. Usually fueled by snacks and soda pop and then fast food for lunch, random caches both in lamp posts, and also in pocket wooded areas scattered throughout, as well as occasional guardrail hides next to busy highways. Though, I've never found a piece of bark geocache like the one you show here. I can't tell if it's because there aren't any of those around me, or if those DNF's on my map are the tree bark caches that were way too tricky for me to find! 🤔 The big parking lots near your house look just like the big parking lots near mine... empty! It really makes quick LPC finds even quicker!
That was the best Clinton imitation I have heard in a long time! Just think of how fast you could've found these caches if you didn't stop to film the silliness. :P I think stopping to film the caches that I did when I was attempting my 200 star challenge really hindered me in finishing that.
As you know... this is my kind of video. I also enjoyed the weather. We are still averaging 45 degrees per day over here in Buffalo, NY, and there are snowflakes in the forecast for the weekend.
This was a great video. So, it's true, all your videos are great! But this one was really great! I enjoyed seeing you just out and about getting some random caches for the epic anniversary. I think you actually got equivalent of 40 caches because of all the camera work you had to do! Whew! So funny with the big gulp, etc. When I did "World Turtle" I think I stopped for breakfast, lunch and dinner while getting caches that day. Thanks Josh! :)
Yes, this is a different type of video! You are right it took a LONG time to shoot and edit this. Thanks you for knowing that! Also... a loooong video for me. Thanks for watching!
I was just thinking that it would be cool if HQ could somehow award special souvenirs for geocaching vloggers. You guys help promote geocaching and I think that would be a great reward.
This is a cool video :D i haven't geocached yet, but I just downloaded the app and hoping that i'll find my first one tomorrow, n i'm looking forward to it :)
heh, I did a 10-10-10 video back in 2010 for Oct 10th; I like to think it was celebrating 10 years of geocaching :) Parking lot LPCs are perfect in this crisis! Don't use the bench, you might get fined. (well, maybe not in your area; but I've seen that on the news somewhere! o_O) The bark one -- interesting... haven't seen duct tape on the back of a bark strip before, lol Great direction giving at the interstate. Will have to make note! 20, and no DNFs! Nice day :)
What a super way to celebrate the BIG DAY! It looks like it was also "National Peanut Butter Jar Day" ♥ I really like the bark (in plain sight) cache, evil.
Thanks for telling me where all those geocaches are that’s one of the local bowling alleys we go to if we go bowling in that geocaching found in the blue container with the bench I just found that one about two days ago
You were rightfully afraid of the grill, we had a wasp nest in my dads hunting cabin’s grill and had to pull out the spray paint and lighters. Not me and my brother, we were 8, but 4 other guys
We went out and found some on the 10th anniversary so I was able to get the 10-10-10 souvenir. Had other things going on earlier this year so geocaching was not one of them. I thought the problem was you broke your phone!! LOL
For a second I thought the first one would blow up like an German stick grenade lol but nice job on this video and I hope good luck for the future of this hobby

4:25 Besides, I don't know if it's me because I just started, but geocaching is always a good party!!! So, "come on Barbie, let's go party - oh oh" - who is old enough and a little bit weird, like me, to remember "Aqua", and their Barbie song? - I don't even know if it's "Barbie" song's name...... Ahahahahahah Please, share? GIME POTATOOOOOOO!!!! AI UANA POTATOOOOOOO!!!
I went geocaching today with my parents and when we found one and opened it there was a condom in it so I closed it, put it back, and left to find a different cache but we laughed about it so much lol
So are you saying Geocaching stared in the year 2000? I did not know I have been caching for that long. I think I started within a year or two when it did. CachingGrandPa.
Did you happen to buy the big blue switch geocoin from geocaching.com. I just got it along with my mammoth snag the tag redemption, it is pretty cool. It actually has a real switch. Almost as cool as your pie coin.
geocaching looks fun, I'm only 13 so I have to go by bike which kinda sucks but it's a good way to get rid of all my pokemon cards that are worthless, I still wanna keep my legendarys though lol
Sometimes it's the simple caches that make the adventure worth while. I met up with some friends on the 2nd and did some social distance geocaching as a group. I developed a head cold after that and now I'm on self isolation until the results of COVID testing comes in. Right now I'd rather be in the woods somewhere
@@TheGeocachingVlogger all test for COVID came back negative. My annual sinus infection came at the wrong time. Still, able to do some social distancing caching now.
Haha...I did not. There are 100's in my area I have not found. That being said I live near a big city. I found all of these caches within 5 miles of my house.
Currently I am a numbers guy since my personal goal is 10K finds by 04/02/25 but for a short I will go for a quality cache. In a few weeks I am going on a vacation/taking the son to his last year of college and ofcoase I will be doing somes in the woods geocaching, should be interesting since I am a desert cacher. hopefully will make for some good videos and shorts
I thought for sure when he said at 8:46 “Guys, I’ve got a problem.” it was going to be that he broke his phone, not that his Big Gulp was gone.
Haha... I dropped my phone so many times during this video.
Me, too.

Geocaching, the woods, and drive thru! That’s how it’s done. Happy 20th Geocaching. Thanks for the video.
Yelling at the peanut butter jar was a mood
Seven in a day is my current best day! And you're doing 20?! I gotta take a geo trip to the cities soon!
Awesome day of caching for sure! Great job as always...
Great video as always! I like how you found such a variety of caches from urban micros to regular size caches in the woods.
That’s something you gotta love about our hobby. The variety!
Loving the twin moment! You keep the inner child alive with this amazing funfilled video. I am envious of you, having such a large amount of caches in your vicinity.

+ 1 sub
Currently I am a numbers guy since my personal goal is 10K finds by 04/02/25 but for a short I will go for a quality cache.

Choosy cachers choose empty JIF containers. Do you use some kind of tripod for your phone, or do you just find places to prop it up?
I don’t record videos with me phone. I used a canon camera and use a Jobi tripod.
what app is this?
Search for the official “Geocaching” app
Why are the Geocaches you find clean ... All the ones I find are dirty lol
what is the most boring cache you have found mine is a one what was broken
