What is Geocaching? 

I thought there wouldn't be any around me but there was a cache up the street o.o

The funny thing is that I once stumbled across and plastic box with a bunch of random shit in it while I was hunting. I thought maybe some kid forgot their stuff so left it figuring they'd come back for it. Now looking back it was probably one of these things. I love the concept and I can't wait till it's warm enough to go out and try it on purpose.

My dad and I went looking in a forest for one. It was really hidden. It was off a bike trail about 20 paces in. I found it by complete accident I stepped on this log and looked down and it was there behind it. It was raining and my dad kept wanting to go home. It was really fun. The GPS was kind of fickle though. I think it gets you in the vicinity of the cache/treasure but at some point you just got to look with your eyes for it and not trust it so much.

First day geocaching. Was so fun!

There's a secret entrance to my backyard most people don't know about. Right at the entrance of the entrance, there is a geocache..... I've driven by one literally 1,000x and had no clue it was there. I'm really pumped to find others now!!

Shame there are so many negative comments, here. Obviously geocaching isn't for you, and that's fine. I have three young sons who love the sense of adventure, like to think they're pirates finding treasure, and also getting out in the fresh air. Given half a chance they'd be nose to nose with an iPad all day. For us, geocaching is great. If it's not your thing, then enjoy what you like doing, and don't rain on everyone else's parade.

I read a few comments and would like to add a positive note. This could get the family together and make a fun adventure and the payback is that you're trying an interesting adventure and the children are safeer than if they were sent out alone. Best Wishes to you all.

So basically, you can't take all the loot, just trade items in it and document it?

I would’ve never thought that in my small village are these geocaches but then i looked on the map and there were so many

I'd like to see Geocaching lap over with Urbex. It would be like stumbling upon a long-abandoned hotel & being the first one to sign the guest book in 20 years. Explorers could leave photos in the cache of other abandoned places they've explored.

Some people don't know about geocaching and they are called muggles

I'm so addicted to geocaching now someone please help me. 😂

Geocaching is very nice . It can be combined with hiking, cycling , diving , climbing on the rocks , and many other activities

I love geocaching here in the UK ! Happy Geocaching to all the Geocachers in the World - Simball :)

she threw away a perfectly good watermelon :(

I really love geocaching. It's amazing the places it takes you to that you had no idea where even there. I love finding them when I'm on holidays too. I've just got into the social side of it all. I could travel the world with the people I now know. Maybe I will !!!

I just found my 100th a couple days ago (after almost two years). Pretty happy.

I remember my first geocash find. I had to use my compass and my 200 foot land surveying measuring tape. This was before smart phones were around.

My family did this once when I was little. It was fun. :3 I ended up with a seashell or two and a sand dollar.

Geocaching is so fun!!!

It's all about the hunt. Just another way to stay active and a fun way to keep your brain in shape too.

So who puts these things out in these places?

I don't think I would ever put anything on my head I found in a geocache!!!

Geocaching is so much fun!! It has taken me to so many interesting places! I have learned so much! It is like an analogy for how the world really is: [normal life = visible world (sensory world) = Church Militant] -- [hidden geocaching reality = another hidden dimension discovered by the intellect with the aid of hints, clues, maps, GPS, and Divine Inspiration = Church Triumphant]. Truth and/or Reality is composed of the seen and unseen. Geocaching gives us insight into another truly present world. I just love to learn; there is so much to apprehend in our world!

I did like 6 today!

A lot of shade things happen at the bottom of my street and like 7 years ago I saw a lady hide a mint box around a lamp at the bottom of the street so I thought it must be some kinda weird drug deal so when she left I took the box home and opened it and there was a peace of paper and a pencil in it and it took me like 4 years to find out it was a geocache

9 euros for the android app. Quite expensive... And in the free version there are too few geocaches.. Disapointing.

Looks like fun. There are a few new ones located by Ashland ,Nebraska for this weekends event. Have noticed over the last few months as you people find these that you leave your trash ( fast food containers, cans, and bottles) when you get out to search. I have found many by just watching you. Any more littering by these and I will remove them. I have located quite a few by watching the litter piles grow bigger.

I'm already planning putting one of these in the middle of nowhere. What's involved with maintaining the caches?

It's been a few years, but found my first one since about 2009. Lots of fun

Geocaching ist ein Hobby das nicht nur Spaß macht, sondern auch sehr Spannend ist. Viele Grüße an Geocaching HQ!

Awesome. I loved the little celebration dance she did when she found the cache.

As a complete newbie, it would have been helpful if you defined just what "geocaching" is. All I can do from this video is guess.

Io l'ho fatto e ne ho trovate ben 2 nel mio paesino, è stato divertendissimo

I just found out what this is. My mom and baby brother (baby brother is 22) have been playing this for years. The only reason I found out about it is because I live right next to a geo spot in Grove City,Oh. I am so excited to try this irl easter egg hunt!

What's stopping people from just stealing all of the containers and keeping its contents?

wow, I was in the park next to me...and there was a bent tree log that was over a little pond...I climbed the 6ft tree and stood at the edge of it....found a piece of wood that's placed weirdly on a branch....I kicked the piece of wood and I found something interesting...a little orange letter container, I opened it and found something written in it... In the beginning I thought it was something a gang member left for someone...then I was like what the hell, what if it was a code for a treasure...I went back home and here I am.... DUDE....It's fate....

Just installed the app and checked for Caches. Stunning, how many of them are even 200 m close to my house. I am curious to see, if I am gonna like doing this.

This was so cool! I love the setup ,how it flows, the actress. This was so cute. I am so excited to get my family into this!

I live in a small town so their aren't many around. Its awesome when you find one though

I've just heard about it through college. Now I'm curious. I'm trying to download the app now.

I've found two.. and I dont even own a phone nor gps. :-p Kinda ran into them.. not very well hidden at all.

This is great. A good way to entertain the grandchildren over the summer.

I have been waiting for 2 days for them to submit my cache!I thought they would do it in 2 hours!!!

Great activity to do with the kids! My boys love finding them.

There's literally one in my shopping mall

I found one today accidentally in Ottawa but all wet, it was in bird house, I guess it fell in water. There were hundreds of names signed on it dating back to 2012, but since it was all soaking wet. It all got ruined

I am new to geocaching. I've found 8 of them so far. :) I noticed that some people asked about the swag and how would people know if you take it all. I guess we won't but that just makes you a thief and that's nothing to be proud of. Remember, Karma is real!

A new hobby of mine!

i have never done this before but would love to try it out! Any suggestions on which app I should download? I live in Minnesota

Does anyone know the geocache ID for that box, so I can log it?

All the geocaches have been found in my area how do I filter so that only none found show up on the map?

Why do some say to "be careful and pay attention to surroundings"? Is doing this dangerous?

my favourite hobby!! and am addicted to it..

They need to make more make Augmented Reality Apps !

When the battetry goes out just before registsting "found it" and I am never comming bach. How can I regesrated the cach later?

There's none where I live 😭

The thing is, it's not always that easy!

I want to start geocaching! But I'm already a geocacher... :( Best geocaching ad to date! :D

2 million geocache sites world wide?! Wow!

Were excited to get started~!!!

Hide & seek involving Satellites and Tupperware

omfg this looks so cool

is there also some on indonesia? if no then i cant use it

Simple instructions with good visuals - nicely done.

There’s one near my favorite corner store

Great video! I'll be sure to show this to caching newbies.

I can't login I have the C:geo app. I just get a error message. I can't find any settings for the logins either. I'm using it for Android.

The best idea. I love this app great fun.

This is like computer game with more body avtivity. I'd especially like to recommend parents in the world.

This is great! Way to go Reid and Bethany!

This is neat, might give it a try!

Don't worry, Jo; here at HQ (and in greater Seattle) we're crazy for compost!

A couple of months a go I went with 4 friends, 2 different places which was far away...didn't find any. Probably got stolen😕

There are so many near me!!

se pueden agregar cachés?

Just starting now😂😂

Can people make their own coordinates on the app because we went three places and couldn't find any they were all easy places

I'm gonna give this a try because why not... but i live in rural Texas, so let's see how this actually goes.

hola soy nueva aquí, quisiera saber como puedo publicar un geocaching, pues se rastrearlos pero no se como publicar uno

are there knick knacks in most geocaches?

omg I went geochaching and I found a ipod thx geochache!!!

I want to try

I looked for one for about a half an hour :P

Great video. Saw it already on GIFF ;-)

I do Love your videos and I would Love to go aching in MN sometime with you.

Do u have to trade when u find the geocache??

My first day I went to 4 different places and didn't find anything :/

Most geocaches I've found are inside of those boxes on streetlights

I don't have a mobile phone with apps. How do I use my GPS in my car?

Went geocaching last night with my 2 brothers found 2 caches

I was really close, but I didn't find it. It was problably in a well...

Can we just keep an item from the geocache box?

Well, We just started an amazing adventure The Great Geocache Quest Adventure: #1 Cache & Bottle Finds We have a map and zero clues. All are micros...there are hundreds! Follow along Daily with the new videos!

I think I just found my new obsession

how many geocashes are there now worldwide?

I blew out my knees today geocaching all day :3 worth it xD

I've been wanting to try geocaching with my nine year old son. What kind of prizes are you supposed to leave behind? How much money should they be worth? Any advice in Atlanta, Georgia where we should start?

Very interesting and dynamic ; ) thanks for making it...

Works on either. I have the app on my android, while my friend has hers on her apple.
