Is this an activity that would be suitable for a 7 year old? I'm looking for something to do that gets him out in nature; kid stays piled up in front of the TV and that worries me a great deal 😕
@@bethsmith3090 Absolutely! It’s great for kids. There is icon (attribute) that states if a a cache is kid friendly. Also I would suggest doing a filtered search before you hunt with kids. You can still to larger containers which usually contain toys and swag and are easier to find. My kids tended to get a little burnt out when I didn’t take them to a cool spot or the caches were too small and harder to find. Just a few tips for ya.
Well…. How do you get one? Only because, I’m not able to find one here in west Sacramento. And I have did it but not find it. I tried 3 times. I want my geocache! 😢?
Well there are way more interesting caches out there than tupperware in the woods, and an endless amount of interesting places you get to visit along the way that you otherwise would never see sooooo. there’s that.
I was on my normal hike yesterday and went to go follow a game trail I ended up stumbling across a little water proof match tube and didn't think much of it figured someone lost it, till I saw the log and thought to my self "why have I never done this? it looks fun" thank you for the video on how it works, now I know to go and start caching
I thought I found a geocache tonight in this pharmacy parking backlot. It was this 4 digit code locked box that was locked to a vertical down-pipe/ drainpipe in this nook of a corner under a flight of stairs. I wasn’t looking for one, just happened to stumble across it when I was walking back to my car. To unlock the box, I tried things like counting the number of windows nearby (for 1st digit), the number of security bars on each window (for the 2nd digit), the number of panes of glass on each window (3rd digit) and the number of down pipes nearby (4th digit). I even found this graffiti tag about 3 meters to the left of the lockbox that had 4 letters in the tag and a stylised arrow underneath the tag that pointed right in the direction of the lockbox. I spent roughly an hour trying different codes I came up with based on what I thought were clues. In the end, this guy came down from the flight of stairs above the lockbox and asked me what I was doing. I explained to him that I think I found this geocache and that I had been spending the last hour (at least) trying to work out the code for it. He then laughs at me and proceeds to tell me that he works in the neighbouring solicitors office and that the lockbox isn’t a geocache, but instead is the lockbox for the spare keys for his office. *I’ve never felt like a bigger idiot/ failure in my life*
Wow what an adventure. Download the geocaching app and go where it leads you to assure you are at an actual geocache next time. Don’t feel like an idiot. I searched for my first geocache for 2 weeks.
I discovered geocaching while editing a story for it for Canadian TV. Started and found my first cache on 09.09.09. In 2011 I directed and hosted a TV show where we went to find caches in the Middle East, including one you had to scuba dive to reach just off the coast of Dubai. I’m near 500 finds now, which is low for someone who’s been caching this long, but it’s the most fun hobby I’ve ever gotten myself into…and super addictive.
This the most detailed geocaching Video for beginners, and I watched a lot of them. Thanks so much for this video. Now I can’t wait to go geocaching today for my first time ever.
@@Lilapurple111 - Way to go Nicole. Everyday will be a new adventure and new discovery of where a cache can be hidden. The creativity never stops. I recommend you become a premium member on your account so you can see all the caches and log them. Then you can start searching for the most favorited caches in your area which will be the most creative and memorable finds in most cases. Happy hunting....and please do share my channel with others you know!
One thing you didn't mention. Is that if you are in an unfamiliar area, like a new city or anywhere really. Geocaching is a great thing to do! Not only does it give you something to do, but a lot of local geocachers will put geocaches in real places of interest that maybe only locals are aware of, and you can find yourself down some interesting paths, or side streets, and even be treated to some great vistas. The geocache descriptions also sometimes have interesting information about the area too.
I just joined Geocaching today. I ponied up for the premium membership. Pretty neat hobby honesty. Since I’m walking my dog all the time, I plan on hiding pet friendly items
Im glad to see geocaching being talked about more these days! I first found out about in 2015 and i only found a handful. I hope one day to place a cache! This a great starter video!
It IS a wonderful hobby with the kids. I have 4 kids that I’ve shared caching with and we have countless positive memories from our adventures. I’ve enjoyed teaching them the value of exploring our world (in-person)
So glad you found geocaching! Hope my video will help you to hit the ground running. I’ve been caching for 15 years and still am learning more every adventure.
I'm new to this and your video helped massively, thanks for the time and effort you put in to help us newbies. I've been out and (eventually!) found my first 3 geocache, all at different sizes, it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to placing my own geo's into the wild. Great work.
Thank you for your comment. This was my intention. And at almost 100K views I plan to make more videos like it. It seems many who are brand new to caching find my videos so I aim to shrink the learning curve as best I can and get new cachers out there as fast as possible. I hope you have many wonderful adventures in geocaching!!!
Awesome! That’s the intention of the video for sure! Give those new cachers a head start on learning the basics that took me years to figure out. I will be posting a how to video on hiding geocaches next. Look for that.
Was on discord my old friend just chatting while looking at places all over the world on google maps. My brain thought "can't imagine how Rainbolt mastered geoguessing". Then, I thought of geocaches, and here I am. Planning to start my geocaching hobby later. Lol.
Thanks so much...I tried my first attempt yesterday...never found the geocache and later looked at a photo and saw that the bushes had been scraped and new fence posts. Property had changed hands... I was thinking I needed to find a geocache class..but your video was a big help...thanks❤️
Thanks for the video! started geochaching today, but unfortunatly it got dark before I could find the cache, I will try again tomorrow. Greetings form Munich!
Nanos are not classed as "other", they are Micro size. Other is usually if used for containers without volume, such as flat magnetic sheets with a log on the back.
Hmm ok haven’t heard this before. Have yet to encounter a nano classified as a micro only seen as a “?” but thanks for the info. Guess hiders do it both ways.
Thanks for this. I am brand new. Today I found a trackable and decided to leave it be until I found out exactly what should be done with it. (Phone battery was very low by the time I got to it.) This was very helpful.
@@kathair8853 - Perfect yes, you did the right thing. Early on I would grab and move travel bugs wherever but then I discovered that some wanted to go a specific direction. I make sure to look all that up before taking them. So glad you found the hobby. I will have a video about how to hide a geocache coming out soon. Tune in for that.
Good video! I started my geocaching adventure today. Found one of the three caches I went to, not a lot, but it's still something! I'm just a bit dissapointed that most caches in my area are micro.
Yes I understand the frustration. So as you find more caches and learn more about the possibilities YOU can be the one to hide larger and more creative caches int he area if you want. Maybe others will enjoy them and follow suit and hide some of their own!
This is great and helpful! I am Just learning about this and about to try and find my first cache tomorrow as a way to enjoy nature and keep rehabbing from brain surgery! Appreciate your wonderful tips 💕
I'm so happy that you have found geocaching at this time of recovery or at all for that matter. It has always been my reason to explore and refocus my energy away from the trappings of the world and just enjoy the journey of nature and be childlike again. I hope that geocaching brings you as much joy as it has me and wish you all the best! If you have any questions feel free to ask them as you go.
Great video thanks a bunch! I just downloaded the app and I'm already excited!!! I think I'm already interested in getting the premium version. Even though I haven't found my first one yet. $30 for a year I think is a steal.
No the idea is that you find it, sign the log to prove to found it, then log your experience on the app. Placing the cache back in the correct location where it was found ensures that future finders will enjoy finding it as well. If the cache contains swag (small trinkets and toys) you may trade for those. Or you may move travel bugs along. The cache and log must stay put. Thanks good question. An important one.
Nice job! Just one note - cell service isn't required for GPS to work on a smartphone; but if you rely on internet to GET geocaching data (like descriptions, listings, searches, etc) then it'll be an issue. But if you know how to use the app for geocaching offline (just like a handheld gps) then no mobile data isn't an issue at all! :) I've gone quite a few time out geocachine far from civilization. Just have to remember to prepare beforehand for no mobile data. But it's so fun! Great geocaching 101
Hey thanks for the additional info for folks. GOOD STUFF. Cell will indeed get you there most times, but gps is tried and true for sure with pre-planning. Thanks for the comment!
@@CleverGeocacheHides NP! It is getting kind of technical, but technically cell isn't gps at all - it's AGPS, where the hardware triangulates an approximate position based on signals from nearby cell towers. No phone does this exclusively any more. It can boost an initial location lock by providing an estimated location, but it's nowhere near as accurate as GPS satellites provide. Really, these days, cell towers are obsolete for determining location; smartphones are just way more powerful and capable than they used to be :) As long as you've got your geocache information offline, you can use your smartphone out in the boonies offline just like any other dedicated GPS device! Technology is awesome.
I found my second one today, even though I don't do it. Now I'm interested. Found the first in New Jersey, found the second today in Ohio. This might be the thing to get me out of my truck. Thanks for the great info. I travel around the eastern half of the country. I'm really interested in the trackables now.
@@richardmclendon8314 - Yes if you travel a lot then you can really be a big help to those trackables that have specific missions for sure. When my son and I road-tripped from CA to MN and back this past summer we helped hundreds of trackables move around the country. He really enjoyed doing that. Glad you found geocaching and I wish you all the best on your journeys and adventures.
I love you dude 😎!! You are so cool! Very nice and informative. Thank you 🙏😊❤! I've been wanting to try geocaching since it was invented years ago but didn't have a GPS device.. but the app is easier to understand now and I got a free account but still haven't tried it.. I 🤔 thought I'd have to get premium. 🙏❤ THANK YOU for saying I don't need premium right away 😊😊. I appreciate it. You're an excellent 👌 and encouraging teacher 👏 A natural! ☺️🤩💖 I've always loved scavenger hunts since I was little ❤ so of course geocaching has always lured me 😊😊

what are some good ideas for trinkets to leave in a cache? i love collecting trinkets but i just wanna know some interesting things i could leave when i take any :)
Usually trinkets or swag are toys but they don’t have to be. You just want to leave something of value. Think if you’d be happy to find the item you’re placing in a cache or not. Just keep in mind the item could go months without a cacher even seeing them. So they can’t be food of any kind. Also you don’t wanna put in anything too fragile because the cache could get banged around. I try to put in items that are larger (container appropriate) and a bit out of the ordinary. I own a cache that is a 4 foot by 3 foot treasure trunk. In there I have gotten roller blades, an umbrella, a new garden hose, books, action figures, card and road trip games etc. Also try not to place plush items like stuffed animals as they could get wet and maybe mold. Ick. Hope this helps.
If you find a tiny “nano” container with no log inside you should try to replace the log yourself. Sign it, scroll it to fit, then tell the owner either in the find log or in private message that you replaced the log for them. Don’t ever take a container home with you. Good question.
@@theelaavar - I’m so happy my video was helpful is lessening the geocaching learning curve for you. Ya my husky is now 15 years old and still going strong. Such a sweet boy. I’ll always have this video to remember him with.
How do you find someone in your area that is experienced and you want to go with them because you're a newb? Are there groups or something that you can do a meetup? I really want to start, but just unsure exactly how to start and where to start and everything. I watched all the videos and researched. I've seen what you need to do, but would like to go with someone first.
GREAT QUESTION! So for starters definitely go for the lesser difficulty rated ones and work your way up. If you have a basic free membership you will only have access to the easier ones anyway. Buying the $30 a year premium membership will get you everything. In regard to groups to meet with I would suggest searching for events in your area. It's a kind of cache you can search for on the map. Icon is a red tear drop with a conversation bubble in center. Definitely go to as many of these as you can. You will meet dozens of cacher all from your area that are veterans...and cacher are usually very VERY willing to help new folks. Start collecting phone number and cacher names because you can call them for help once you have those..and that only builds relationship. I hope I was able to answer your question.
That’s awesome! When you start it can be hard because you don’t know what to look for but it gets easier with every cache! Good luck. Remember to read the description and details as well as the hint if you get stuck.
This would be an ideal idea for time of war or civil unrest and the cache treasure could be survival kits and first aid kits you would take and leave money so they can buy more for the next person.
The geocache i hid near my house kept getting stolen by an old lady with dimensia. The family was kind enough to admit it, but they never returned my containers. Lost a few trackables, and physical logs, but then covid happened.
@@Sethemiah - Well stinker, that is a huge bummer for sure. And the fact that it was so close to your home you probably didn’t wanna let that one go to being archived too. This has happened to me as well. I think the location and the cache are a perfect match for each other only to find out later that the spot is no longer viable for whatever reason. A rogue muggle like in your situation or grounds keeping or sprinklers etc. Be on the look out for that replacement spot and maybe some new hide in plain site camp you can implement to keep your treasure safer. Keep at it!
I don't understand what I'm looking for and how to log it. Is it a bar code or something that you scan on the app? I'd have liked to see you take one out.
Good question. You are looking for a small container (usually the size of a film canister but can be larger or even smaller) that contains a logbook. Sometimes these containers are magnetized to metal, or heavily camoflauged with their surroundings. Took me 6 months to find my first cache. With every one you find you add more types to your list of possibilities. It gets easier. Keep at it!
@@marienixon148 - if you go back to the video (time stamp 2:50) I show you how to log a find online. It’s real simple. I log a did not find log in the video but if you made the find you simply select FOUND IT instead. Hope this helps. Yes most times you will find just a logbook paper inside. Sometimes a pencil and other times in large caches toys and swag trinkets.
@@memer01788 - ya sometimes that’s the case. Sounds like some road trips are in order! And you can become a hider in your area perhaps and spread the word about the hobby to others. Maybe even hold an event to bring cachers in from surrounding areas. Just some ideas for ya.
I have been hearing about geocaching for a long time and finally looked it up to see what it was all about it looks like a lot of fun and so my question is when you find the item that was hidden you take the item out of the container it was in, and you leave the container behind, is that correct ? You don't take their containers ?
We’ll do it with him first so he can see that not the case. Rarely do you encounter other people while geocaching unless that is your plan. Just u and the cache most days. I encourage you to keep trying.
yes, a lot of people think this when they first get into it. I’ve seen a lot of Geocaching video shorts online where people click bait that they somehow make money doing the hobby. Truthfully, I have found $1, $5 dollar and $10 bills before in caches. but this is a rare occurrence. The true treasure of geocaching is the journey and experience.
This is a valid argument yes. The rules for premium have changed recently which I’m not in favor of. New cachers using the free app used to be able to view any cache not listed premium before buying a membership but now it seems anything over 1.5/1.5 difficulty terrain is blocked out as well as premium rated caches. This may in theory protect some higher end caches from being damaged or removed by unknowing and new cachers but for me I choose more new people learning about caching and being able to play. If they don’t see those super creative caches as a free and new member they won’t know what’s possible! They may think every geocache has to be under a lamppost! Just a personal preference. But I very much understand the argument of keeping caches that took many hours to create better protected. I’ve had my share of those go missing and it’s very sad.
@@CleverGeocacheHides I just started geocaching because of your video and it’s been pretty fun. I don’t have premium but premium caches still show up on the map and I have found one, it’s just that I can’t log it online. Do I just ignore them until I purchase premium?
@@beetal3850 - Great Question! If you are still allowed to see some premium caches and hint and find them then great! May be a glitch in the matrix. Ha. Just sign the log and keep a list of the GCnumbers or log them as a draft instead of a find. Then when you get the full membership you can just back log them then. Maybe keep the date found and gc number. Glad the channel is helpful!
@@Cokepencilpsd - absolutely you can!!! They will brighten someone’s day for sure. Just make sure there is enough room in the cache for such items. I have found tony containers people have jammed swag into before. no beuno. 👍👍
@@acamacho023 - from my experience caching has been one of the best discoveries for me. All my best friends are cachers and it’s allowed me to see places and meet people I never would have otherwise.
Really appreciate your detailed video. Can't wait to try this with my granddaughter on our trip. We will be in rural areas so I'm trying to figure out ahead of time how to make my smart phone work. Can you explain how to use the app for geocaching offline. Thanks
Thanks for the question and I’m so glad you will be trying caching out with the family. So in the official geocaching app (I believe you may have to be a premium user to use this feature) What you do is filter the caches for what you want (say large size caches which are better for kids) then you search the area you plan to be and zoom so those caches are on the current screen. Then click the 3 dot button in top right and click “add all to list” click the plus button and then name the list and click “save for offline” This will save those specific caches and their info in the app for offline access. You will be navigated to caches with the gps functionality which doesn’t depend on cell service. Should save all the cache details for you as well. Good luck!
I’m not really up to speed on the current offerings for handheld gpss. Well now a days the best all around device is just your smart phone. They are so very accurate now. I used to say using handheld was better for getting cords when hiding but my older garmin csx seems to be wavering in its old age marking waypoints 20-30’ off sometimes. The only real need to have a handheld gps vs a phone is if you often cache where there is no cell service or if you need one for other things besides caching. hope this helps.
@@CDOTNICKS - Yes mother nature does play a part in nabbing caches. That’s why it’s really important to be willing to fix or replace any hide you place for whatever reason it gets messed up. I have heard of muggles (non geocachers) and people who know of geocaching finding containers that have been washed away or displaced. That’s why the waterproof container is a must and putting your geo name on the container or log is a good idea. some even leave their number though not required.
Absolutely they would! Geocaching is all over the world with millions of caches to find. I would recommend that you just go to geocaching.com and start a free membership and click on the map! It will show you he geocaches near you. Welcome to the fun and for watching and commenting!
Good for you! That's how you learn. Took my almost 3 months to find my first cache 14 years ago. I almost gave up, but kept at it and the world opened up to me!
@@CleverGeocacheHides yeah i have knee issues and the doctors keep telling me to exercise my legs to help the surgery but lots of the exercises hurt the joints so this should be easier to do
@@CleverGeocacheHides you mentioned usually having trinkets with you toreplace if a trinket is taken from a cache.....what if your literally just starting and its your first or second cache how does that work if you do not have items yet to replace...do you just leave the items?
@@remirez2k3 - you can leave just whatever you have of equal or greater value. No food or weapons obviously. Raid your junk drawer for toys, spare change etc.
When you find the physical geocache then it should have a logbook in it. Sign this with your cacher name to prove you legitimately found the cache. Then you go online to geocaching.com or within the app and virtually log your experience. Here you would right a bit more about the experience without giving away the location or cache type making it to easy for future cacher to find. Save this log as a FOUND IT and it will be kept on your account and go into your statistic as a find. Great question!
So just the clarify. The trading of something is only fir swag not the cache container itself. Swag is things like toys, trinkets etc. in the larger caches. Kids like to trade toys and that’s the rule. The outer cache container, the logbook (that you sign with your geo name) stay put for the next cacher to find and sign. Also if you come across a travel bug which is a trinket with a dog tag or code attached to it these are meant to travel around. So if you can look it up by the number and move it to another cache go for it. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the question. Actually No...It's very important that you don't take the container itself home because the next person hunting for it will have nothing to find. Plus the cache hider/owner will have to come out a replace it, which is no fun. The whole idea is that you sign the logbook to prove you were there, write your experience online on the website and then leave the cache exactly as you found it for the next person to enjoy. Thanks for the question! It is a a common one for new cachers.
@@Maxx23 - So the outer container and the logbook/paper need to stay put. If there are toys, trinkets etc. inside (otherwise known as SWAG) then you can take those items, just as long as you replace them with something as a trade. Sometimes you'll find spare change in a cache.... I've even found some 1s and 5 dollar bills before. Rare but it happens. Thanks for question.
I noticrd that the geocaching app updated and Im not at all happy with it. I used to be able to pull up an actual list of nearby caches showing how far aeay they are but now it just gives you a map. Not a happy camper now.
Sorry for your frustration ya. The free membership with geocaching used to be alot more giving for sure. You should still be able to search for a navigate to local easier caches with the free option though. Can you still do this? When you get the point where you know you use it Id highly recommend the premium membership. It’s only $30 for a year and that opens everything! You can always cancel it later. If you are a iphone user I’d also recommend Cachley app. I mention it in my video. I use this 95% of the time now. It was made by geocachers and is loaded with convenient layouts and features. But first things first, that premium membership so you can see all cache location no matter their difficulties. good luck!
Do you mean the (GCNW) in the title? That stands for Geocaching Network which is a group of geocaching you tubers. If the tag is in the title it helps my videos to be seen by more geocaching interested viewers. If you do a search for GCNW then you can check other channels out too
@@CleverGeocacheHides Oh, I didn't even notice that in the title, but that's helpful. I assumed the original comment refered to the unique ID that's assigned to a cache.

@@kerrbearofaustin - So the way it works is you pick a geocaching name and password and that gets you the free account so you can search for some easier caches and get your feet wet. Then when you are sure you wanna keep doing it you pay the $39.99 yearly for the premium at that point. There is not a code to get premium for free. Unless a friend buys a membership for you. I’ve done that for new caching buddies before.
Strange comment but please contact the Carroll County PD regarding the Delphi case and explain this stuff don't know if you are aware of the murders in 2017 one of the young girls was into this and they were killed besides the Monon High Bridge in Delphi Indiana from what you have explained it is possible they were there because of this hobby there were also some strange objects found at the crime scene thank you so much this is a genuine request.

It was this 4 digit code locked box that was locked to a vertical down-pipe/ drainpipe in this nook of a corner under a flight of stairs. I wasn’t looking for one, just happened to stumble across it when I was walking back to my car.
To unlock the box, I tried things like counting the number of windows nearby (for 1st digit), the number of security bars on each window
(for the 2nd digit), the number of panes of glass on each window (3rd digit) and the number of down pipes nearby (4th digit).
I even found this graffiti tag about 3 meters to the left of the lockbox that had 4 letters in the tag and a stylised arrow underneath the tag that pointed right in the direction of the lockbox.
I spent roughly an hour trying different codes I came up with based on what I thought were clues.
In the end, this guy came down from the flight of stairs above the lockbox and asked me what I was doing.
I explained to him that I think I found this geocache and that I had been spending the last hour (at least) trying to work out the code for it.
He then laughs at me and proceeds to tell me that he works in the neighbouring solicitors office and that the lockbox isn’t a geocache, but instead is the lockbox for the spare keys for his office.

One thing you didn't mention. Is that if you are in an unfamiliar area, like a new city or anywhere really. Geocaching is a great thing to do! Not only does it give you something to do, but a lot of local geocachers will put geocaches in real places of interest that maybe only locals are aware of, and you can find yourself down some interesting paths, or side streets, and even be treated to some great vistas. The geocache descriptions also sometimes have interesting information about the area too.
Great suggestion! thanks!
I just joined Geocaching today. I ponied up for the premium membership. Pretty neat hobby honesty. Since I’m walking my dog all the time, I plan on hiding pet friendly items
Im glad to see geocaching being talked about more these days! I first found out about in 2015 and i only found a handful. I hope one day to place a cache! This a great starter video!
Gonna start doing this with my 9 year old daughter as a bonding experience for us
It IS a wonderful hobby with the kids. I have 4 kids that I’ve shared caching with and we have countless positive memories from our adventures. I’ve enjoyed teaching them the value of exploring our world (in-person)
Hi I’m just about to start looking for my very first geocache. Found your video very helpful thank you.
So glad you found geocaching! Hope my video will help you to hit the ground running. I’ve been caching for 15 years and still am learning more every adventure.
I'm new to this and your video helped massively, thanks for the time and effort you put in to help us newbies. I've been out and (eventually!) found my first 3 geocache, all at different sizes, it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to placing my own geo's into the wild. Great work.
this is the most helpful video i've ever found for new cachers
Thank you for your comment. This was my intention. And at almost 100K views I plan to make more videos like it. It seems many who are brand new to caching find my videos so I aim to shrink the learning curve as best I can and get new cachers out there as fast as possible. I hope you have many wonderful adventures in geocaching!!!
My 8 year old daughter and I found our first cache today!!! So fun!
So awesome! Thanks for watching. Hopefully my videos are helpful.
@@CleverGeocacheHides indeed they are! Happy hunting!
Thanks for the video! I just joined and found my first cache in my neighborhood!
This was very helpful. I was looking on how to start. Thank you!
Awesome! That’s the intention of the video for sure! Give those new cachers a head start on learning the basics that took me years to figure out. I will be posting a how to video on hiding geocaches next. Look for that.
Was on discord my old friend just chatting while looking at places all over the world on google maps. My brain thought "can't imagine how Rainbolt mastered geoguessing". Then, I thought of geocaches, and here I am. Planning to start my geocaching hobby later. Lol.
So many ways to find the hobby! I stumbled upon a hikers magazine that had an article about geocaching 17 years ago and I’ve been hooked ever since.
This is new for us...but trying 2 get my kids involved.. and spend time outside and a treasure 2 find *!*!
Excellent! Thanks for the basics. We will be taking 3 young men from church out for their 1st caching adventure.
Very helpful video. My first finds I didn't realise I had found as I had a Nano!
This is a great intro to the game! Thank you!
@@Sethemiah - Most welcome! Glad it was helpful.
I went to find my first geocache but couldnt find it so im watching ur vid now lmao
I just heard about this and now I want to try it. So I had to look into it. Thank you
Thanks so much...I tried my first attempt yesterday...never found the geocache and later looked at a photo and saw that the bushes had been scraped and new fence posts. Property had changed hands...
I was thinking I needed to find a geocache class..but your video was a big help...thanks❤️
Thanks for the video! started geochaching today, but unfortunatly it got dark before I could find the cache, I will try again tomorrow. Greetings form Munich!
Did you find it
Nanos are not classed as "other", they are Micro size.
Other is usually if used for containers without volume, such as flat magnetic sheets with a log on the back.
Hmm ok haven’t heard this before. Have yet to encounter a nano classified as a micro only seen as a “?” but thanks for the info. Guess hiders do it both ways.
I found a few, then moved, life, forgot about it. Nano cashes are tricky to find....
Want to get back in to it.
Thanks for the excellent introduction to Geocaching, I just recently heard the term and wanted to know more 👍🏼
Thanks for this. I am brand new. Today I found a trackable and decided to leave it be until I found out exactly what should be done with it. (Phone battery was very low by the time I got to it.) This was very helpful.
@@kathair8853 - Perfect yes, you did the right thing. Early on I would grab and move travel bugs wherever but then I discovered that some wanted to go a specific direction. I make sure to look all that up before taking them. So glad you found the hobby. I will have a video about how to hide a geocache coming out soon. Tune in for that.
Great Video! Sharing it now to a friend that I just spoke about geocaching. Greetings from Germany!
Wow. Danke! THanks so much for sharing my videos with friends on the other side of the world!
Good video! I started my geocaching adventure today. Found one of the three caches I went to, not a lot, but it's still something! I'm just a bit dissapointed that most caches in my area are micro.
Yes I understand the frustration. So as you find more caches and learn more about the possibilities YOU can be the one to hide larger and more creative caches int he area if you want. Maybe others will enjoy them and follow suit and hide some of their own!
This is great and helpful! I am
Just learning about this and about to try and find my first cache tomorrow as a way to enjoy nature and keep rehabbing from brain surgery! Appreciate your wonderful tips 💕
I'm so happy that you have found geocaching at this time of recovery or at all for that matter. It has always been my reason to explore and refocus my energy away from the trappings of the world and just enjoy the journey of nature and be childlike again. I hope that geocaching brings you as much joy as it has me and wish you all the best! If you have any questions feel free to ask them as you go.
Great video thanks a bunch! I just downloaded the app and I'm already excited!!! I think I'm already interested in getting the premium version. Even though I haven't found my first one yet. $30 for a year I think is a steal.
Thanks for the video. It really helped. Cant wait to start our family adventure!
So if you find it you do not get to keep ?
No the idea is that you find it, sign the log to prove to found it, then log your experience on the app. Placing the cache back in the correct location where it was found ensures that future finders will enjoy finding it as well. If the cache contains swag (small trinkets and toys) you may trade for those. Or you may move travel bugs along. The cache and log must stay put. Thanks good question. An important one.
Nice job! Just one note - cell service isn't required for GPS to work on a smartphone; but if you rely on internet to GET geocaching data (like descriptions, listings, searches, etc) then it'll be an issue. But if you know how to use the app for geocaching offline (just like a handheld gps) then no mobile data isn't an issue at all! :) I've gone quite a few time out geocachine far from civilization. Just have to remember to prepare beforehand for no mobile data. But it's so fun!
Great geocaching 101
Hey thanks for the additional info for folks. GOOD STUFF. Cell will indeed get you there most times, but gps is tried and true for sure with pre-planning. Thanks for the comment!
@@CleverGeocacheHides NP!
It is getting kind of technical, but technically cell isn't gps at all - it's AGPS, where the hardware triangulates an approximate position based on signals from nearby cell towers. No phone does this exclusively any more. It can boost an initial location lock by providing an estimated location, but it's nowhere near as accurate as GPS satellites provide.
Really, these days, cell towers are obsolete for determining location; smartphones are just way more powerful and capable than they used to be :) As long as you've got your geocache information offline, you can use your smartphone out in the boonies offline just like any other dedicated GPS device! Technology is awesome.
TY
Haha, the stamp. Almost crossing over into Letterboxing territory.
I found my second one today, even though I don't do it. Now I'm interested. Found the first in New Jersey, found the second today in Ohio. This might be the thing to get me out of my truck. Thanks for the great info.
I travel around the eastern half of the country. I'm really interested in the trackables now.
@@richardmclendon8314 - Yes if you travel a lot then you can really be a big help to those trackables that have specific missions for sure. When my son and I road-tripped from CA to MN and back this past summer we helped hundreds of trackables move around the country. He really enjoyed doing that. Glad you found geocaching and I wish you all the best on your journeys and adventures.
@@CleverGeocacheHides Thank you. I'm looking forward to it
I love you dude 😎!! You are so cool! Very nice and informative. Thank you 🙏😊❤!

what are some good ideas for trinkets to leave in a cache? i love collecting trinkets but i just wanna know some interesting things i could leave when i take any :)
Usually trinkets or swag are toys but they don’t have to be. You just want to leave something of value. Think if you’d be happy to find the item you’re placing in a cache or not. Just keep in mind the item could go months without a cacher even seeing them. So they can’t be food of any kind. Also you don’t wanna put in anything too fragile because the cache could get banged around. I try to put in items that are larger (container appropriate) and a bit out of the ordinary. I own a cache that is a 4 foot by 3 foot treasure trunk. In there I have gotten roller blades, an umbrella, a new garden hose, books, action figures, card and road trip games etc. Also try not to place plush items like stuffed animals as they could get wet and maybe mold. Ick. Hope this helps.
@@CleverGeocacheHides that helps a lot!! thanks for the ideas :D
Thank you for this!! I’ve always wanted to try this but never have. I think this summer with my kiddos is a perfect time to start! ❤
11:00 'the loud toys....x🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 genius!
i found my first one in my apartment complex today
Awesome! Let the adventure begin!!
this was a very helpful video - thank you so much.
Well done and informative. Thank you!
Thank you Larry. So glad it was helpful. I figured I better start at square 1 before I got to ahead of myself.... Cache on!
What about the teeny tiny ones? What do you do with those if there is no log? Do you just take it? ...and log on the app?
If you find a tiny “nano” container with no log inside you should try to replace the log yourself. Sign it, scroll it to fit, then tell the owner either in the find log or in private message that you replaced the log for them. Don’t ever take a container home with you. Good question.
Always log in the app whether u found or didn’t find the cache.
This is great information! Thank you! I feel better prepared! (also love your puppy! 😍)
@@theelaavar - I’m so happy my video was helpful is lessening the geocaching learning curve for you. Ya my husky is now 15 years old and still going strong. Such a sweet boy. I’ll always have this video to remember him with.
VERY helpful! THANK YOU! I found a Bison today and a pill tube. Now I have more ideas about what I am looking for!
How do you find someone in your area that is experienced and you want to go with them because you're a newb? Are there groups or something that you can do a meetup? I really want to start, but just unsure exactly how to start and where to start and everything. I watched all the videos and researched. I've seen what you need to do, but would like to go with someone first.
GREAT QUESTION! So for starters definitely go for the lesser difficulty rated ones and work your way up. If you have a basic free membership you will only have access to the easier ones anyway. Buying the $30 a year premium membership will get you everything. In regard to groups to meet with I would suggest searching for events in your area. It's a kind of cache you can search for on the map. Icon is a red tear drop with a conversation bubble in center. Definitely go to as many of these as you can. You will meet dozens of cacher all from your area that are veterans...and cacher are usually very VERY willing to help new folks. Start collecting phone number and cacher names because you can call them for help once you have those..and that only builds relationship. I hope I was able to answer your question.
I’m gonna go try today. Got a cool little ball to trade. Hope i find it
That’s awesome! When you start it can be hard because you don’t know what to look for but it gets easier with every cache! Good luck. Remember to read the description and details as well as the hint if you get stuck.
This would be an ideal idea for time of war or civil unrest and the cache treasure could be survival kits and first aid kits you would take and leave money so they can buy more for the next person.
Sounds like a decent video game maybe?!
You just described a dead drop
The geocache i hid near my house kept getting stolen by an old lady with dimensia. The family was kind enough to admit it, but they never returned my containers. Lost a few trackables, and physical logs, but then covid happened.
@@Sethemiah - Well stinker, that is a huge bummer for sure. And the fact that it was so close to your home you probably didn’t wanna let that one go to being archived too. This has happened to me as well. I think the location and the cache are a perfect match for each other only to find out later that the spot is no longer viable for whatever reason. A rogue muggle like in your situation or grounds keeping or sprinklers etc. Be on the look out for that replacement spot and maybe some new hide in plain site camp you can implement to keep your treasure safer. Keep at it!
Really good content, TY for all of your explanations!!
Your so welcome. SO glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I don't understand what I'm looking for and how to log it. Is it a bar code or something that you scan on the app? I'd have liked to see you take one out.
Good question. You are looking for a small container (usually the size of a film canister but can be larger or even smaller) that contains a logbook. Sometimes these containers are magnetized to metal, or heavily camoflauged with their surroundings. Took me 6 months to find my first cache. With every one you find you add more types to your list of possibilities. It gets easier. Keep at it!
Hi, thanks for the reply. So it's just a piece of paper that I write on, or a book? Doesn't the app register how many I find?
@@marienixon148 - if you go back to the video (time stamp 2:50) I show you how to log a find online. It’s real simple. I log a did not find log in the video but if you made the find you simply select FOUND IT instead. Hope this helps.
Yes most times you will find just a logbook paper inside. Sometimes a pencil and other times in large caches toys and swag trinkets.
Thank you! I see on the app now that there's a LOG button. Can't wait to give this a try later!
Found our first one! Didn't take a pen but took a photo of the paper as proof, with no spoilers 😀
Great advice 🤩
i found my first geocache today
Awesome! So glad you found your first cache and the hobby!!! You’re in for many years of fun and adventure! Thanks for watching the channel.
@@CleverGeocacheHides I'd love to also! But have expressed a concern, see my comment under your pinned opening question. Thanks!
@@ButterCupMMXXIII - I replied
Sadly there are not alot of geocaches near my location :( but there are a 2 or 3 near me but then no more
@@memer01788 - ya sometimes that’s the case. Sounds like some road trips are in order! And you can become a hider in your area perhaps and spread the word about the hobby to others. Maybe even hold an event to bring cachers in from surrounding areas. Just some ideas for ya.
I have been hearing about geocaching for a long time and finally looked it up to see what it was all about it looks like a lot of fun and so my question is when you find the item that was hidden you take the item out of the container it was in, and you leave the container behind, is that correct ? You don't take their containers ?
Probably leave a note in the container: "claimed"
I heard that if you take something, then you leave something.
There should always be something there for someone to find.
I would really want to do this with my dad bull he’d probably think it’s a kid trap or something
We’ll do it with him first so he can see that not the case. Rarely do you encounter other people while geocaching unless that is your plan. Just u and the cache most days. I encourage you to keep trying.
I honestly thought the first person to find it gets some money hence the name (geo cashing)
yes, a lot of people think this when they first get into it. I’ve seen a lot of Geocaching video shorts online where people click bait that they somehow make money doing the hobby. Truthfully, I have found $1, $5 dollar and $10 bills before in caches. but this is a rare occurrence. The true treasure of geocaching is the journey and experience.
@We_silly: Cache.....not cash.
Hey geoboy here Awesome video for beginners
Hey thanks! So glad it was helpful and gets you caching quick!
With the thousands of dollars I spent in my hides, they are only premium... I found not premium caches end up disappearing more often.
This is a valid argument yes. The rules for premium have changed recently which I’m not in favor of. New cachers using the free app used to be able to view any cache not listed premium before buying a membership but now it seems anything over 1.5/1.5 difficulty terrain is blocked out as well as premium rated caches. This may in theory protect some higher end caches from being damaged or removed by unknowing and new cachers but for me I choose more new people learning about caching and being able to play. If they don’t see those super creative caches as a free and new member they won’t know what’s possible! They may think every geocache has to be under a lamppost! Just a personal preference. But I very much understand the argument of keeping caches that took many hours to create better protected. I’ve had my share of those go missing and it’s very sad.
@@CleverGeocacheHides I just started geocaching because of your video and it’s been pretty fun. I don’t have premium but premium caches still show up on the map and I have found one, it’s just that I can’t log it online. Do I just ignore them until I purchase premium?
@@beetal3850 - Great Question! If you are still allowed to see some premium caches and hint and find them then great! May be a glitch in the matrix. Ha. Just sign the log and keep a list of the GCnumbers or log them as a draft instead of a find. Then when you get the full membership you can just back log them then. Maybe keep the date found and gc number. Glad the channel is helpful!
Can I leave bracelets and stickers in found geocaches?
@@Cokepencilpsd - absolutely you can!!! They will brighten someone’s day for sure. Just make sure there is enough room in the cache for such items. I have found tony containers people have jammed swag into before. no beuno. 👍👍
Finding (and leaving) little trinkets is my favorite part of geocaching!
I just found out that geochaching is a thing and feel like i'm about to open pandora's box. I'm very obsessive with stuff.
@@acamacho023 - from my experience caching has been one of the best discoveries for me. All my best friends are cachers and it’s allowed me to see places and meet people I never would have otherwise.
Super helpful! Thank you!!!
Love it!
Thanks!!
Where did you get the stamp?
whoa, nice video! subscribed
Sorta like ROUNDONAUTICA FOR HIKERS?
Really appreciate your detailed video. Can't wait to try this with my granddaughter on our trip. We will be in rural areas so I'm trying to figure out ahead of time how to make my smart phone work. Can you explain how to use the app for geocaching offline. Thanks
Thanks for the question and I’m so glad you will be trying caching out with the family.
So in the official geocaching app (I believe you may have to be a premium user to use this feature) What you do is filter the caches for what you want (say large size caches which are better for kids) then you search the area you plan to be and zoom so those caches are on the current screen. Then click the 3 dot button in top right and click “add all to list” click the plus button and then name the list and click “save for offline” This will save those specific caches and their info in the app for offline access. You will be navigated to caches with the gps functionality which doesn’t depend on cell service. Should save all the cache details for you as well. Good luck!
What’s a good beginner gps device
I’m not really up to speed on the current offerings for handheld gpss. Well now a days the best all around device is just your smart phone. They are so very accurate now. I used to say using handheld was better for getting cords when hiding but my older garmin csx seems to be wavering in its old age marking waypoints 20-30’ off sometimes. The only real need to have a handheld gps vs a phone is if you often cache where there is no cell service or if you need one for other things besides caching. hope this helps.
Love this!
Awesome intro!
How many get displaced during storms? Do the get recovered?
@@CDOTNICKS - Yes mother nature does play a part in nabbing caches. That’s why it’s really important to be willing to fix or replace any hide you place for whatever reason it gets messed up. I have heard of muggles (non geocachers) and people who know of geocaching finding containers that have been washed away or displaced. That’s why the waterproof container is a must and putting your geo name on the container or log is a good idea. some even leave their number though not required.
i just discovered geocaching by watching the movie Ohana so this is cool.Im in the Dominican Republic do u think they have that here?
Absolutely they would! Geocaching is all over the world with millions of caches to find. I would recommend that you just go to geocaching.com and start a free membership and click on the map! It will show you he geocaches near you. Welcome to the fun and for watching and commenting!
Do i NEED to sign the caches? Or can you just log a found message
You need to both physically sign the paper logbook in the actual cache and also sign the log in an entry online. Good question!
so getting started! :)
Good for you! That's how you learn. Took my almost 3 months to find my first cache 14 years ago. I almost gave up, but kept at it and the world opened up to me!
@@CleverGeocacheHides yeah i have knee issues and the doctors keep telling me to exercise my legs to help the surgery but lots of the exercises hurt the joints so this should be easier to do
Do you ever do it as a barter?
Not sure if im understanding your question.
@@CleverGeocacheHides i think they are speaking of trading "trinkets" you gain through cacheing between hunters ......
Yes many geocachers trade geocoins, and path tags with eachother. And there is swag. When cachers trade for items within the cache itself.
@@CleverGeocacheHides you mentioned usually having trinkets with you toreplace if a trinket is taken from a cache.....what if your literally just starting and its your first or second cache how does that work if you do not have items yet to replace...do you just leave the items?
@@remirez2k3 - you can leave just whatever you have of equal or greater value. No food or weapons obviously. Raid your junk drawer for toys, spare change etc.
What do you do when you find it,?, do I out it back do I take a picture fo I write or post something?
When you find the physical geocache then it should have a logbook in it. Sign this with your cacher name to prove you legitimately found the cache. Then you go online to geocaching.com or within the app and virtually log your experience. Here you would right a bit more about the experience without giving away the location or cache type making it to easy for future cacher to find. Save this log as a FOUND IT and it will be kept on your account and go into your statistic as a find. Great question!
good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good info!
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
If I found a cache do I keep it? Or always trade for an equal/better one? I just want to make sure I'm not being rude or anything
So just the clarify. The trading of something is only fir swag not the cache container itself. Swag is things like toys, trinkets etc. in the larger caches. Kids like to trade toys and that’s the rule. The outer cache container, the logbook (that you sign with your geo name) stay put for the next cacher to find and sign. Also if you come across a travel bug which is a trinket with a dog tag or code attached to it these are meant to travel around. So if you can look it up by the number and move it to another cache go for it. Hope this helps.
When you find the box or the thing that holds it can you take it?
Thanks for the question. Actually No...It's very important that you don't take the container itself home because the next person hunting for it will have nothing to find. Plus the cache hider/owner will have to come out a replace it, which is no fun. The whole idea is that you sign the logbook to prove you were there, write your experience online on the website and then leave the cache exactly as you found it for the next person to enjoy. Thanks for the question! It is a a common one for new cachers.
@@CleverGeocacheHides ok so I don’t take the box ty for clarifying but can you take what’s inside?
@@Maxx23 - So the outer container and the logbook/paper need to stay put. If there are toys, trinkets etc. inside (otherwise known as SWAG) then you can take those items, just as long as you replace them with something as a trade. Sometimes you'll find spare change in a cache.... I've even found some 1s and 5 dollar bills before. Rare but it happens. Thanks for question.
@@CleverGeocacheHides oh makes sense now. Tysm for replying!
@@Maxx23 - You bet. Great question.
Is there somehere where i Can buy a geocaching kit?
Go onto geocaching.com and choose a website from your country

find a casch, or ?
I noticrd that the geocaching app updated and Im not at all happy with it. I used to be able to pull up an actual list of nearby caches showing how far aeay they are but now it just gives you a map. Not a happy camper now.
Sorry for your frustration ya. The free membership with geocaching used to be alot more giving for sure. You should still be able to search for a navigate to local easier caches with the free option though. Can you still do this? When you get the point where you know you use it Id highly recommend the premium membership. It’s only $30 for a year and that opens everything! You can always cancel it later. If you are a iphone user I’d also recommend Cachley app. I mention it in my video. I use this 95% of the time now. It was made by geocachers and is loaded with convenient layouts and features. But first things first, that premium membership so you can see all cache location no matter their difficulties. good luck!
What are the random letters for
Not sure what you are referring to. Can you clarify?
I think you mean the strings like "GC12ABC"? That's a randomly generated unique identifier for that cache.
Do you mean the (GCNW) in the title? That stands for Geocaching Network which is a group of geocaching you tubers. If the tag is in the title it helps my videos to be seen by more geocaching interested viewers. If you do a search for GCNW then you can check other channels out too
@@CleverGeocacheHides Oh, I didn't even notice that in the title, but that's helpful.
I assumed the original comment refered to the unique ID that's assigned to a cache.
Should not encourage spoilers in Log when found

You can hide geocaches on residential properties such as a front or side yard area with the owners permission to do so.
I should explain I am not from there so unable to easily do this myself.
there are over 2 million caches hidden world wide so wherever you are there is probably one nearby
I found caches in more than ten countries, including one in Dubai that you had to scuba dive to get.

Year later update but its now available on android devices too
How do you get a free code for a premium geocache account?
@@kerrbearofaustin - So the way it works is you pick a geocaching name and password and that gets you the free account so you can search for some easier caches and get your feet wet. Then when you are sure you wanna keep doing it you pay the $39.99 yearly for the premium at that point. There is not a code to get premium for free. Unless a friend buys a membership for you. I’ve done that for new caching buddies before.
Strange comment but please contact the Carroll County PD regarding the Delphi case and
explain this stuff don't know if you are aware of the murders in 2017 one of the young girls
was into this and they were killed besides the Monon High Bridge in Delphi Indiana from what
