Got QUESTIONS about hiding a GEOCACHE - Ask away! Or a comment that could help others? Love to hear it…

Thanks for this video. We (my children and I) are newbies. We started Christmas Day as a way to start a new family tradition. Well, we go hooked and we go out looking as often as we can 😅. We've been thinking of starting to hide some and I like to learn as much as I can before starting something new and that's how I've found your video. Now I will put more thought into how I want our first hide to be to make it memorable for all. Thank you for all the great tips on the video and your comments!

Great job Eddie! You covered some great tips for new cachers and those of us who have been doing it for ages. Thank you!

Nice video! Safety is easily overlooked by cache owners, I find. I want to emphasise that COs must be committed to regular maintenance.

Whoo Hoo, great video! Loved the tricky containers.

[fleafrier]

Nice video that covers many aspects of the game. Don’t forget to thank your COs when you log a find and hide ammo cans whenever you can.

Thanks for the video! This gave me some information on how to make my hides better and gave me inspiration. I am going to replicate the where's waldo cache at a mural in my town.

TFTV! I just started geocaching this year and have found some great local caches that use my brain, so I have good examples, but this video highlighted why they are good.

[KayDerr]

Great information. We are thinking about hiding some geocaches and still need to learn a little more before we do. Thank you for this video.

Great video! Thank you for taking the time to make this. I am working on my first cache - a travel bug hotel. Having lots of fun with it. Your tips were very helpful!

Wow I was surprised to see my home town when I started watching this video.

Glass is also to be avoid because of its magnifier effect that can set up a fire (i'm french don't know if i say it well but you get the point 😉)

Ok, so i used old hard drive magnets, while you could still find them, and ibwould use the metal plate from them, and screw it to a branch in a tree, and then duct tape the hard drive magnet to the side of a small container, like one of the testing strips containers from a diabeetus testing thing. Because those have to be air tight. Air tight= water tight right? And i used camo duct tape. They all disappeared. It was digital camo in evergreen bushes. So, technically covered year round, gorilla tape cured to be secure through the season, permission from at least one of the owners for it to be there. Blech. It hasnt worked out for me yet.

[sherrypeterson-davidson]

Maybe you can tell me how people are able to get to first-time finds?

[mikeonthebox]

Wait, so you mention not to hide caches on places you wouldn't like to go as other wouldn't like it neither, but you hide a cache in a dog park in a middle of the dog tunnel? Hell no... I already find those weird enough as I don't see why a cache would lead to a dog park, where someone without a dog looking around would already feel weird enough.

Some great the movie clips were so annoying and unnecessary.
