Geo-cash, not geo-kaysh. I usually find myself pronounce-policing ppl on this particular word that is so mispronounced by so many. From 'cashay' to 'catch', it's all wrong ways of pronouncing 'cache'.
Come to Australia and it's Geo-Kaysh. You will be laughed at as a dumb arse Yank if you come here and pronouce it Cash. The world does not revolve around America or Amercian English, languages evolve locally.
No, in Australia it really is more often kay-sh rather than the French "cash". Just because you pronounce words a certain way in your area doesn't mean everyone in the whole world follows you. For example, I'm from Melbourne and Dave is from Sydney and I'm pretty sure we would have a disagreement on how to pronounce "pergola" :)
Yes, Mrs EEVblog was the Geocaching Australia pinup girl. Was also featured in Vouge as one of the 30 most sucessful woman under 30. Also, a young Australian of the year.
Having been a Geocacher for over 25 years, this sport never gets old! Started all this back in the Stash Hunt days. A hell of challenge when SA used to be switched on. Get within 100m and then use your terrain clues to find it. It is great seeing that other states have their own cultures too. - White Elf
One of the times I was crossing the US (15 years ago), I accidentally found a cache in a light post along rt66. I put some stickers in it. I started geocaching after hearing about the "great American GPS cache hunt" or whatever they called it, and I got my Garmin eTrex Legend in 2001 and began hiding boxes along walking paths and hiking trails along the eastern US. I stopped around 2008 or 2009.
I never got into geocaching, but it was interesting to see some old ones. It also made me think about how the plastic is still good after 20 years, and we put everything in plastic these days.
Yeah, I need to get back into Geocaching, basically stopped when I lost my caching buddy (my first dog). Been out a couple of times since but never really got properly back to it, maybe after we finish the old house I can get back out.
Only did geocache back before smartphones so had no GPS tracker as couldn't afford to by one. Only found a few round my way where the locations were clear. Tried to find one in the woods near me but without GPS never had success.
Ive got one still going from 2001; Hunter Valley Vista, but it has been destroyed by fire twice. So the physical cache is not as old. Did you ever have a go at the degree of confluence project?
Would be neat to make a geocache container with a switch and LoRa module to notify when it has been opened. It would only transmit when opened so can't fox hunt it. (Twist: add a second one in a random location that does periodically transmit, but only after it detects that the first one has recently been opened.)
Last year a well known geocaching pioneer here in the UK died, Dr Alan Solomon. (Yes, the same Dr Solomon who created the anti-virus software! He was a pioneer in that area also.) He had reportedly found over 45,000 caches. He will be greatly missed by those of us who enjoyed his insightful & witty writings in PC Plus magazine in the '90s, and more recently on his blog - which has sadly disappeared.
I would go with friends and not have a GPS with me and usually find them faster by just looking around. Geocaching without a geo. Just use my eyes to look for the obvious places I would hide one myself.
More common that you think. Back in the day before smart phones there were many cachers who would do it without a GPS and just looked the coords up in the (paper) street directory and then hunt around. We did this quite a few times too. Experienced geocachers can spot "caching trails" and the most obvious hiding spots fairly easily.
I was into geocacaching for a while but I did all the ones in my area that I could but a couple were either gone or in nearly inaccessible areas unfortunately.
btw, geocaching was way more fun with old school text only based receivers. None of this smart phone satellite imagery to hold your hand right up to the box.
Passionate people left innovative fields and its filled by managers and and career babbons who print 1000 scientific papers per minute. Couple this with mono-neuron venture capitalist who invest in solar roadways and hyperloop. Basically visionaries and inventors are replaced by grifters and oligarchs
@@EEVblog2The best part about Geocaching is that Park n' Grab caches are a super fun thing to do if you're in a random town that's otherwise a snooze. I'm a bit too lazy for the hour hike ones.
Outside of hiking in the nature it's one of the best activities to do as a tourist in cities, because many locations have a special meaning and can lead you to unusual and interesting things normal tourists will never see.
Too many are premium only now. It used to be 100% free, but now you're encouraged to pay... You don't really get anything special for spending money. All mine are still open to all with free access.

Are you saying "cache" wrong on purpose? or is that just your accent?? Are you saying "case"? or "cash" ?? Or is it a different word that I don't know about? I've never heard of this

The new Sistema containers aren't as good as the older ones.
@@johncarlaw8633 maybe no difference for kitchen use, but for geocaching the older ones are better.

eh, I've seen plenty of caches where GZ actually ended up being 10's of meters away from where the satellite imagery showed it should be.
The difference between 1890 and 1910, or 1940 and 1960, is so much more than the difference between 2003 and 2023 or 2005 and 2025. What causes this?

It's global. There are likely hudreds of geocaches nearby you.
