GeoSnippits - How To Deal With Geocaching Muggles













(Above is Geoness in her return appearance as the GeoSnippits Muggler)

One of the hot viewer topics this year is how to deal with muggles. It literally is the most requested video asked to be made. So keeping with our GeoSnippits tradition of using our viewer suggestions we went out this last week and created our latest geocaching tutorial. How To Deal With Geocaching Muggles is a tutorial video designed in an almost classroom like setting to show our viewers how geocachers are being seen by muggles and how to look less suspicious when we go out geocaching.

It is broken down into several sections of discussion:
  • Types of muggles
  • What makes geocachers look suspicious
  • How to Fit In a muggle prown area while geocaching
  • What to do when approached by a muggle
and an over summary.

I am sure there are tons of other examples that can be used (send those in to us by the way and we will make an advanced video! headhardhat@gmail.com) so this can be considered a 101 beginners edition.

We hope you enjoy this GeoSnippits geocaching video and come back for more. Again send in those suggestions. We do listen and over 90% of our videos get created because of viewers like you. Thanks Again!

Walking Up to a Trashed Geocache

It is sad when walking up to a geocache that has been trashed or worse. It's easy to blame muggles but other factors can cause it. For example the weather, including wind and flooding. Snow and ice have been known to move or crush a geocache. Then there are the animals who just love getting into or carting off a container.

Many times a flimsy or poor quality container can become easy pickings. As in this case a cheaper Glad container was used and what looks like a squirrel knocked it out of it's home then made short work of it. Even if the big toothed rodent hadn't munched it, the heat and sun already was warping the container pretty bad.

I rescued two Boy Scout travel bugs and cleaned up the rest. One of the travel bug plastic bags had the top sealer chewed off. Just goes to show you that these containers area vulnerable to all sorts of situations. Always consider this when placing your geocaches.
