Geocahce: pill capsule


Pill capsules come in all different shape, size and color. They are originally designed to hold pills and be on your keyring. As they are designed for pills they are waterproof, so ideal to convert to geocaches.

 I use them all over the places, they can be hanging on a fishing line into a trafic sign's pipe. They can be camouflaged to be in a tree, or between rocks, or anything. Just be creative with them.

 Due to their sizes the most common is to have log rolls in them, if you plan to put a small pen/pencil in the log will be a lot shorter, so you'll need to maintain more often.

 Some more ideas on how to camouflage them:

 The one in the middle is just covered in camouflaging tape, which is available in different colors for different areas, mostly used by hunters and hiker.

I also used stone paint to cover some of them just as an experiment, no need to worry about the twistline and the rubber, over time they will loose some paint anyways. Not to mention muggles do not really spot them if placed into some good neighbourhood. An example of using a stone paint:


 I have many spiders as I could order them in packages of 20, here is one usage of them:

They are by default not magnetic, but you can easily glue a magnet on the side or on the bottom to make them stick on iron.

Geocache: Tree branch

Image
It is one of the sneaky hides out there. Can be disappointing for new geocachers, but when you first manage to spot one of these you will be really happy. Hard to spot when inserted If you plan to hide one like this, make sure you do not hurt the tree, they are alive and this game is more peaceful than that. You do not need much to replicate this hide, only a piece of branch, a hole in a tree, a container and a screw. Make sure to use the same type of branch as the tree or else it will be too obvious. The above cache is located in the Netherlands in a small park, it was really nice to walk around there and find this geocache.

Geocache: Get the film out of the pipe

Image
Now this is one of those geocaches that I heard of but never saw one personally till the day we were in Belgium on the road back to the Netherlands. It all started with let's stop at a geocache to avoid highway and then came look there is another one just a few meters down the road, and this was the one. Guess what we kept on going on with that serie as there were many cool hides out there. The film is ready to be caught ... When we turned on that dirt road and I spotted the geocache from the car I got so excited that I did not really pull down thinking who else would come this way. We jumped out and went for the geocache with a huge smile on our face, finally we meet one of these. The geocache is not too much hidden A pipe with many holes attached to a tree. How complicated could that be? Well at first we thought we'll need to find some tools in our geocaching bag, but then we saw the two metal stick hanging there and we knew the tools are also provided.

Geocache: Underground TB Hotel

Image
New players mostly do not know what TB stands for and why are TB Hotels so cool and important. Let me start with the TB, that stands for Travel Bug, but in general all trackable items are referred by this abbreviation. TB Hotels are geocaches, mostly bigger ones in size where multiple TBs can lodge safely. Be aware that not all TB Hotels are equally safe, just like hotels, depending on their neighborhood they can be where you do not want to stay. TB hotel with 6 rooms This TB Hotel was in an urban area, at the corner of some parking lot. Really nice little town. When we arrived and read the hint it was trivial where to search, but when saw the entrance below I was not sure why is it a TB Hotel, the entrance itself was not too promising. Entrance to the TB Hotel A utility cover, what a great hide. I have one of those myself, but so far I was only thinking of placing a container in it that fits inside, but this hide showed me new possibilities. There is a bigger pipe inside a
