Introduction: How to Geochace/geochacing!

By

This tutorial Will explain how to geochace, or treasure hunting for Nerd's.


Step 1: Step 1: Materiel's

You need:

-A GPS

-A place to put stuff in

-Stuff to put in

-a computer + Internet connection

-Description on piece of paper describing it is a geochace!

Step 2: Step 2: Set Up the Container

This step is very simple, but also very important! Try to use a clear jar that can withstand the weather of the local area(if you would like you can change the jar every so and often to), I used a bag for a example but, it won't last long here in Mass.. Put paper describing the rules and telling who finds it it's a geochace, also explain what a geochace is so if the person who stumbles upon it knows what it is.

Comment from Corvidae:
The best containers are, from small to large: film canister, Tupperware containers (this is a range in itself since they have small ones and large ones, and ammo cans. Ammo cans are used alot because they are cheap at a military surplus store, weather proof, and durable. Clearly visible caches tend to be removed by passersby. Be sure to label your caches well and make sure that you have the property owners approval before hiding it. www.geocaching.com has a long list of geocaches that people have hidden, but dont only rely on that site for caches. The game started in user groups and there have been (at least in the past) people who have put really neat things in caches (aka money) in their caches. If your making one. Dont be afraid to make it a "multicache." In the town I used to live in there was a cache that you had to walk around downtown to different coords collecting numbers off signs to make the coords of the actual box of stuff. The site given in the ible is a great resouce and jumping off point for new cachers.

Step 3: Step 3: Location, Location, Location!

Put it in a place either clearly visible or very tricky to find!

Step 4: Step 4: Upload to Geochace

In the video I explained how to extract the data from the gps and put it into Geochace. It's very simple but is hard to put in words. Here's my best bet! Using the EasyGPS software extract the GPX/Loc files(note that EasyGps is Windows only, though on the geochace site the will tell you more software for more Operating System's). Then Sign up for Geochace and put in your info! Now your done! Now your done and thanks for reading and watching!
