What a fun way to Geocache... pretty slick. I'm just getting into Geocaching and your video makes me wonder why I waited so long. Thanks for being a cool person.

I totally didn't know that about the "drilling thing". I signed up for a groundspeak account like 2 years ago, but stopped geocaching when my GPS broke (I broke my phone and my GPS on the same day), and my new phone didn't cooperate very well with the Geocaching app. I've got a new GPS now (finally!) and I'm so excited to find more interesting caches. My fiancee and I will be going on a roadtrip in 2 years and I really wanna find the "best" caches in each state!

This cache is now archived, but in its place is a NEW cache that uses a microprocessor. SCBC 5 Extremes. I like to rotate out my older caches. It's always sad to see a cache with over 500 fav votes archived but its always good to make room for more new caches.

+gadgetcaches Do you keep your older caches? If not I think you should sell it if its popular enough for people to want to steal it. Make them collectables- the legal way

I definitely want to make caches that are interesting and entertaining! This gives me some ideas! I particularly like the air horn.

As everybody has already said, absolutely amazing cache. I love the air horn. Thanks for sharing!

Being retired helps. Gives me time to spend time in my wood working shop and create caches. But, the other thing I do, I always get permission from the property owner. Since most of the caches I have shown so far on youtube are very visible, I always get permission. Also, you have to be careful to follow the groundspeak guidelines. Drilling a hole in something that you didn't bring is not allowed. : )

You are awesome!

nice work. Thanks for sharing! Chris

You should offer these for sale unpainted so us other cachers that don't have the ability to build this can plant some more interesting caches out there. The reason for unfinished is so we could semi camoflauge them or do one like this chik fillet type.

I build mine by trial and error. I'm not one of those fancy design guys. So.... it take me hours to build my caches. I really hope my videos go into enough details that people can buiid there own. This build is rather complex. Now, my newest video, is really easy to build, all you would need is a hand saw and a hand drill and its a GREAT cache. The Key is the Key be sure to check that one out, it is easy to build.

What a fun project! Good inspiration for building my first gadget cache with my son this winter!

I've only found one gadget cache. It is called KERPLUNK and you have to play reverse KERPLUNK to get to it.

Done few WVTim caches on I-81, at WV SB Rest Area, didn't get the combo for the lock, but know how to now, so looking for my next trip from NY.

Very nicely done!

I am hoping the video shows enough details to allow cachers to build one. I really don't do, diagrams. I get a concept or and idea and just start "trial and error" in my shop. I wish I had the ability to do some of the diagrams that I have seen other cachers do, but I just don't have that skill. If you start building and have questions just hit me with and email, I'll be glad to help any way I can.

Good for you. You'll have to let me know how it goes. Thanks for raising the geocaching bar. Congrats, I'm sure cachers will love it.

Love your caches!!! I have copied a few ideas and have been inspired to create others I have even started a youtube channel to show off my ideas. I now have a series of Field puzzle (gadget) caches there are 14 so far all different and I have another two ready to place. Keep up the good work

Very nice!

This is my favorite gadgetcache! Thanks for your contribution to geocaching! It is definitely a breath of fresh air for hiding caches.

Wonderfully creative cache!

ingenious... i've only made normal caches, but love your caches, and will someday build one. :) thanks for the video

Very clever 👍

I remember doing that one during my 1st of 3 visits to the area. The airhorn scared the crap out of me.

That's the coolest cache ever!!

Another great cache, thanks for sharing.

That's REALLY cool! I'd like to check that one out!

Great one

This excellent cache is being featured on CacheCrazy.Com today! What a great apparatus! A genius geocache owner for sure! We love crazy caches like this! Great job and cache on brother! BH

Glad you are so creative. Love the motivation surprise. Dang if that one gets you noticed, so much for my caching discreetly. LOL

I fabricated something like this today. The build was interesting, now to paint it and place it. With mine I have a door with a lock where the swag will go and the only way to open the lock is to get the code from retrieving the log.

yeah but they might think it's a decoration. they probley won't take tthe time to find it out either. (if they hear it) they would probley think nothing of it. might come to see what it is then walk away. probley won't find out how to open though, if they even know it should. and why would they want to anyway?

awesome

Thanks from Finland, Puuhamiespete

This is really fun!

Good for you, this is a tough one to build. You will have to send me some pics when you get it done.

yea you pull that dial, baby

I like it.

Brilliant!

another awesome cache!!

wow love it!!

How do you have time to properly plant these caches? The moment i break out a drill to mount a Birdhouse cache anywhere...suddenly there's a muggle or a cop or a park attendant! I'm not the most experienced cacher, but I'm dying to know how you get some of these ornate caches actually planted in their area.

Nice idea to add an airhorn. It brings more attention from non-geocachers to it, and increases the chances of it being damaged.

You have to love SARCASM, but this cache was out for years and years at a VERY public place and was NEVER damaged.

@@gadgetcaches That's nice, actually. It's a good area.

Very cool, thanks for sharing

I heard there’s one of these where you have to put a quarter in to open it and access the log... pretty sad if you ask me...

Sweet Gadgetcache, very well explained =D

This is like a puzzle.

How about selling these boxes? Would be nice to have such a cache here in germany

I've been trying to place gadget caches I've built at a nature area near me, and looking at your videos, it looks like you chain some to a tree where there is a Y in the trunk, but this tree doesn't have a Y??? How do you attach your caches to the trees (without hurting the tree) without having the chain slide down??

Very smart!

You sir are amazing! Thank you for making these hunts even more fun!

Nice video, but please equalize audio levels next time. Blasted my ears a few times.

Very nice. Do you have/offer some step by step construction plans for boxes like this?

i tried to name my Cache eat more chicken but was rejected by my reviewer

That is amazing. Very clever and fun!

I use my iPhone, nothing fancy.

What camera are you using?

Very elaborate cache! Awesome job! Wish I could find one like this.

How do I leave and set up my own geocache? I can't find info on my app.

Go to geocaching.com from your computer. There is lots of info there on how to put out a cache.

That's so cool, love it!

And that is a 1 in 100,000 chance

I want to build one :-)

wow

I started building this a few weeks ago! It's almost finished! I'm so exited to finish it and hide it, but even more testing it for the first time, when it's completely done! :) I really love your videos! The only problem I have is, I wanted to use the same garden lock you did, but they're not available. So I ordered 5 of them in the UK, but the parcel is not arriving, so we thinking about getting our money back. Makes me so sad, because I want to finish it!!! :) So EXITED!

But...Why?

What code is this

it's not popping up...

Wow, sorry about that. Every reviewer has a different view. With it NOT being the name of any establishment I am surprised. I can clearly understand, NOT naming it Chick-Fil. What did you name it?

GET ON WITH IT!!!!!!!!

I saw your cache page. Did someone really destroy all your caches? :(

gadgetcaches my cache was stolen by a cacher, i was walking by it to do a log book change and i see someone looking for it, i see a geocaching bumbersticker so i continue going and decide to get subway(down the road) and i bike back and see no one is there and i go to it a see its gone! well my friend who lives behind it(the cache was hidden in a tree knot and he can vein it from his room) well he saw someone and decided to record to show me if its rated well, well i go to it and see its gone, i look around and another cache comes by( the FTF was taken but i made a note there is a 2TF) so the guy must have seen it and the next(one who came while im searching) asks if im here for it and i say yes but im doing a log check because it rained alot and i wanted to see if it was water tight enough. I tell him that im looking for it and tell him that my 2tf prize was claimed a moment ago but if he can find it ill get him something from my cache bag(HAS REPAIR STUFF FOR MINE AND OTHERS AND MY LOOT(oops caps lock SRRY)) well wedont hind it and i told him ill msg him on email if i do/remake it so i go to my friend who text me"dude someone took the cache) so i bike down the hill to his room(its a storage shed he made a room for himself) well i get there and i see the guy who took it and his face once zoomed in(great HD camera) so on my way home i decide to check a cache under a bridge on my way home and guess who i saw... the theif i see it in his backpack pocket and i aproch saying hom im a cacher to and how i was looking for a cache i made was missing and the one he has look alot like mine. he panics but the only way to his car is to wade in the pond or go about 1/4 mile loop. and i see he has a screw driver next to the cache(screwed into the bridge) with one of the parts next to it. lets say he cant return in the area for 5 more years
