Geocaching: How to Activate a Travel Bug

We just got our first travel bug and decided to activate it. As much as I love geocaching's site, there are some things that are not intuitive. I go through the process of activating a travel bug and making sure that it shows up online as being placed in a cache. I also show the construction of an inexpensive magnetic cache. Enjoy!

    I just started geocaching two months ago and I'm hooked. I've found almost 30 so far and am ready to take it to the next level by making a travel bug and hiding my own cache. This video makes the process easy to understand. Thanks!

    Thank you for this great video on explaining how to activate a TB...Also thank you for letting us discover this great TB and watch it go, I hope it goes on forever...Nice cache too, love the way you keep emphasizing the fact that it has to be there forever...

    Nice bug. I always try to shorten the chain to prevent it snagging and breaking, also use my leatherman to crip the holder on the chain so it doesnt come off as easy

    You win points for making fun of the ICP and for the choice of background music.

    If i were a muggle, I'd be far more freaked out finding a black taped jar vs a clear jar that you could see the inside.....but...the tape does make it harder to find sometimes.

    Those are cool. I would give my left I-tooth for a double dragon one that was patterned after the stand up arcade game from the late 80's. I loved that game.

    Thank you for your informative video! Does the same process apply to a trackable sticker for a car?

    Actually this is a video I made 10 years ago and geocaching has changed SO much. Trackable car stickers weren't a thing back then. I actually need to get back into geocaching to see what is new.

    Lol with your code I can log it. But did i find it, that is a bit of a moral question. :P I found your vid and you posted the code. Would be cheating, but im from Europe, so I wont be in your neighbourhood anyway.
