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!
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.
@@CleverGeocacheHides In case it wasn’t clear, I was referring to your caches Hidden In Plain Sight. I was involved in letterboxing over twenty years ago (~2002-2004). Your video has me wanting to get back into it and geocaching. Thanks for the video!
@@thirdspacemaker9141 That's what I thought you mean't... But H.I.P.S. coulda been hips too. ha Glad you are getting back into it. Thanks for watching!
@@sherrypeterson-davidson - Great question. Firstly you need to be a premium member to have this ability. Once that is setup you go into your account settings under notifications. Setup to be notified when a cache near you is “published” You can then add your email address or your phone number 0000000000@yourphoneprovider.net depending on what your carrier uses. This will send you a text message when a new cache is published giving you a fast jump on getting the FTF. If you are quick to read emails then just have your email address would be sufficient.
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.
@@Sethemiah - Ya it is always a crap shoot depending on the area you are hiding. If the spot is close to a school or an area with lots of foot traffic odds are it’ll get noticed and messed with. Just keep your eyes peeled for good potential hiding spots and continue honing that camo. I tell you often it’s the caches ai feel have the best camo are the ones that go MIA and the not so great ones stand the test of time. So weird how that happens sometimes. A little tip, try to avoid screwing to trees even if it is just a branch and not the trunk. A nice sturdy clothes hanger hook will do nicely too. Less things to come about and break as well. Keep at it.

Got QUESTIONS about hiding a GEOCACHE - Ask away! Or a comment that could help others? Love to hear it…
Great job Eddie! You covered some great tips for new cachers and those of us who have been doing it for ages. Thank you!
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!
Nice video! Safety is easily overlooked by cache owners, I find. I want to emphasise that COs must be committed to regular maintenance.
@@ankez - Yes… good points. So many caches out there on narrow busy roadways and caches that were placed and simply forgotten. 👍
Excellent video. I’m new at geocache and really appreciate you for creating this clip
@@maggiecummins5550 - Awesome…. You are who I made it for! Good luck with your adventure in clever hiding!
Whoo Hoo, great video! Loved the tricky containers.
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.
PERFECT! Hopefully I saved you some time……

Great tips for all hiders 😊
Very nice video One of the best I've seen.
@@sherrypeterson-davidson - why thank you very much. I’m glad it was helpful to you.
Maybe you can tell me how people are able to get to first-time finds?
