Simple PVC Gadget Cache with DaTruck (GCNW)
In this episode I get to meet up with DaTruck Crew and he shows us how to make a Simple PVC Gadget Cache.
I really missed getting to talk to other Cache owners and hearing about there caches. Glad we were able to do it with Streamyard.

Very cool- going to add it to my to do list of caches to make!

The switches are great. I was really happy to learn about this fix.
I have found a few dozen of these kinds of hides throughout the years. They always get a favorite point from me. And now that I see how easy they are to build, I may put one out myself someday.

Geocaching with Halemeister yeah I know right. Leave it up to me to over think how to make it.
Great interview, and the remote format will open back up those 1 on 1 interviews. Zoom is your friend. I own a cache called Missile Command with a similar concept. It has 150 favorite points on it. It’s a smaller diameter PVC pipe about 4 feet long with a j-bend at the bottom. It’s attached to the side of a building so it blends in perfectly. You use lung power to launch a bison tube several feet into the air..

That is cool I have thought about one like that. Do they bring a TOTT to clean it or do you provide something.

Nothing provided. I have faith that the cacher will wipe it off before they make the attempt. Also, it’s self cleans itself when it rains. The famous world traveling cache Retired Guy even stopped by and did it when he was in town.
Love this idea! Saving for later so I remember to try it.
I am having a heck of a time finding a spring like that where I am in Canada. Most big box stores stock much smaller than that, unfortunately.
Great way to do this interview and a nice build to demo. Thanks again Derek!
Love the it and super simple. I have not found one like that, so I may have to create one for my area.

Great I am sure others cachers would really like that.
We have a cache very similar to this in the Geocaching Capital of Canada GeoTour. It was put out in May of 2015 and we haven't had any maintenance issues with it. Being in Canada, we have to think of the snow and ice, so we put a removable cap on the top (a spray paint can lid that fits loosely) and attached it with a small chain so it doesn't get lost. Good advise to use a bright coloured container. Ours is painted florescent orange. Love simple caches that last for years! Happy caching.

That is great low maintenance is awesome 👏. Yeah each location has its own challenges to think of when you put out a gadget.
I have actually found one of these type caches before. Luckily I found it when I just started geocaching years ago so these type of caches kept me in the game and entertained. I love the creativity of this simple but fun caches! Had I not found caches like this one in the beginning, I am not sure I would have stayed in so long. Thanks for sharing this one! Great job!

It’s fantastic! Just watched this video and want to create similar cache in my area! And I’m really planning to explore your channel for more inspiration! TFTV and Greetings from Lithuania!

Yes that is usually the issue. I hope that your cache has a long life and brings many smilies to the cachers who find it.
Thank you for these videos. You’ve definitely inspired me to build better caches. So far I have built three of your caches, including this one. My cache has 64% favorite points so far.

Thank you. That is really awesome. I am glad you are enjoying the channel and creating these hides.
Looks like a nice cache. I might try making it myself. I like gadget caches that are simple to make but find to make, hide, and find. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from down under!

Yeah that checked off all of those boxes.
I like the PVC ideas too. Affordable, strong and different sizes and connections. How about bigger 4 " or more sewer pipe?

@@BehindtheCache Either/Any. I know there are bigger pipe than just 1-2 inch that would give room for a bigger container to hold swag & book. I've noticed lots of gadget caches with pvc & agree its a great product for cache containers.
Nice idea! I had thought of something like this but not made it yet! I think I'll put strong fishing line attached to the bottle so it can pop out far but not get lost. I like the idea of lining it up parallel with a tree limb or fence & camouflage. Could attach a fake snake to it! Or away from public view but with a firecracker design! And make the tube with a point like a rocket.

Those are great ideas.
Cool, another gadget cache idea for me to steal. I have found one around near where I live. I'm pretty sure I gave it a favorite point. I like how that can be put in quite a few different areas. I know Dan said they don't get water in them much, but a removable cap from the top might not be a bad idea. Thanks for sharing by the way.

Hey there are always little things that can make it unique to our own. I have had a few ideas. Like make it like a grandfather joke “Pull my finger” and what shoots out is a brown cache container.
Nice, simple, inexpensive.. All GOOD!!

It is a great idea and easy enough to copy. I know I will be making one of these.
I made it a few days ago. Unfortunately the spring is too weak to throw the container out of the pipe. The spring is a 1.2 x 12 x 200mm.

It is a fun and really quick build. I think the hardest part is finding the spring for this. Then or course finding where to hide it in the wild. Enjoy.
