How to Geochace/geochacing!

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.

it's also very much frowned upon to use glass containers in geocaching. glass + nature is not a good combo.

Bio-degradable glass i meant

He does not mean that glass isn't biodegradable (it is), he means that it's dangerous (the environment is unpredictable and glass can break).
