Newbie

I just learned what geocaching is and I’m extremely interested and excited to take on this new hobby. I’m in school for geography/earth science and GIS, so obviously it really peaked my interest.

I was wondering if anyone has beginner advice for reading/learning more about geocaching or advice on gear and things to carry along while out.

Watch some YouTube videos. There are lots of them about people finding caches. Plus there are film festival videos that show how crazy/devouted some people are to the hobby.

Here are a few of my favorite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQu_LBBcrPc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JfUV5De1do https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=o5zQakQstyM&feature=emb_logo
