I love this cache! I built my own and put a twist on it. It doesn't get a lot of traffic, but almost everyone gives a fave. Thanks WV Tim!

Another great cache, this one I did call you for some help on last summer. Can't wait to meet you at Geowoodstock this year.

This cracks me up. We figured it out by noticing which holes the lights shone all the way through...never even knew about the drawer switch!

Really, now you know the secret. I've had cachers spend well over and hour in front of this cache trying to figure it out.

Thank you for sharing another great job, love their caches and the creative as they are. Greetings from Portugal.

We came across a cache based on this one and it got us sooooo puzzled! Eventually we called the CO, because we just couldn't figure it out. If only we had known it was so easy, haha! Fantastic idea!

Well I must say this is probably my favorite one yet! Such great ideas. Thanks for sharing

Got love geocaches like that! Well done! Thanks for sharing.

I'm in the process of building my own version of this cache. Thinking of red herrings has been a lot of fun!

True true I see that now... GREAT CACHE!... lots of decoys ( destractions ) for the cachers :)

Very cool, I may combine this concept with another cool one to make a cool cache

Thanks Tim! I Love this one! B&TsEA from Vermont!

that is an awesome cache! thanks for sharing the concept with us!

Fantastic cache idea! Thanks for sharing.

Wish i could have nice things...... Replaced a pill bottle wrapped in burlap 8 times now since new years.....

epoxy your screw heads, I have had people try to unscrew the cache before.

Hi Tim. I love your caches and the paintjobs where it gets that old grey look. Could you make a short video on how you create that look? Best regards from a fellow cacher in northern Norway :-)

Ørjan Leifseth When I want to make it look aged, I start with a good primer ( normally white) , then paint it with a exterior black paint, then on my final coat I take the black and mix some white in it, but don't mix it well. Then I kind of paint it on giving it the white black aged look. Maybe on my next video, i'll film me doing that.

Damn Tim.,... you did it again !!

I have a question about the light where or what do you write the combination to the lock on on so the light makes it visible, thanks Steve and Tracey

@SimpleGuy2003

He writes those 4 numbers on the birdhouse outside. 2 holes and 2 on one and 2 numbers on other. Cause there are lots of holes you can't tell which one is correct. So when the light makes them visible

Great work again Tim. Love the difficulty approach. Hard, but oh so simple. I have a question about it: How do you prevent little insects/bugs from getting inside through all the little gaps e.g. around the door? I imagine hiding one like this in the woods, it would soon fill itself as a bug's home.

@gadgetcaches

9 жыл бұрын

I do get bug problems from time to time. I "sometimes" spray the inside with a bug killer when I'm building it. If bugs become a problem, where I can.... I caulk, other times where caulk is impossible like this cache drawer, I just spray the inside of the box. I use Ortho Home Defense.

Hi Tim, I've been watching your videos ever since I started geocaching. I was just wondering what the dimensions were for this awesome cache because I didn't understand in the video. If you could please respond.

Becca Delmar in the video at about 5 minutes, are some of my measurements. Slow the video down and you will see I have most of my measurements written on the wood. Hopefully this concept can be used any just about any size cache. Hopefully this will generate some ideas to get you thinking.

Verry darn cool unique cache WVtim!:) does the drawer pull all the way out?

@gadgetcaches

9 жыл бұрын

No, the back of the drawer is build so its larger and won't come out the hole in the front. As you see in the video, I pull it all the way out and it just hangs there.

Love it! Do you have any advice to finding a recordable sound card that is motion activated and can survive cold weather? I used "bigdawgs greeting cards" for the first one, but couldn't handle MN cold. THANKS!

Hi, love everything you do with gadget caches, I am having a hard time finding a light source like that one. Any thoughts? or what kind did you use? Thanks in advance.

Bill Stearman look around the internet I found several. Here is a pic of one .....shop.miniscience.com/navigation/detail.asp?id=MINIBASEP. When you buy a lamp holder be sure to buy your lamp and a battery that works for the size holder and bulb you have. I found mine at a local electric shop. Most of the time the folks inside will be happy to help you. Might even check to see if you have a Radio shack near you.

Hi Tim! What padlock are you using because here in the UK, it's difficult to find the perfect combination padlock for this geocache. I was just wondering if you could send me the web address of where you got it from. Thanks.
