I think I would like to do this one, I have gotten a bunch of caches on MT. Doug but had no idea this place existed. Also have to get into your store for supplies.

we had one in the uk but has been archived but there is talk that there is one being created down the south of england so fingers crossed

Congratulations to the winners and a big thank you for the mention. Sorry its taken a while to watch this video but have been working 14 nights straight .

The most extreme geocaching I've done is scuba caching. The deepest I've found a cache at is ~70 ft. The hardest part is signing the log books with several layers of gloves on while also maintaining neutral buoyancy and not hitting the bottom. It's fun to combine two of my hobbies with dive caching.

Thanks for partnering with me on this amazing and fun contest. Can't wait to see pics of the coins in the hands of the winners!!

Congratulations to the winners and everyone that shared their adventures.

Been down to the back of that tunnel! It's funny how narrow it is. Will have to go back to log as a virtual. Thanks Landsharkz!

Great video! I’ve done that cache

We (islandfinders) love Extreme Geocaching! Our favorite caching is hunting down high DT caches (we’ve completed 25 Fizzy loops) that often bring us to extreme terrains. Bushwhackin? Love it! Tree climbs? Fun! Wading through swamps? Yup! Most woodticks in one day? 3! I insist on wearing shorts and a t-shirt in hot weather, that means I return from my annual drive to California covered in poison oak - not so much fun, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Caves? Love some, some not so much, but again you gotta do them! Chopping through walls of blackberries? Many times! Kayaking to islands? For sure! How about a 7 hour hike to get one extreme cache? Sure - Kiwi Falls (GC58628)! Forty-two summits in the Sooke Hills? Done them all! What is the most extreme cache that we’ve done? Easily it’s GC2B1YB - #50 PURE INSANITY. Imagine climbing a 100 foot, rusty, rickety, ladder that snakes up the side of a cliff. Of course the dismount is totally sketchy. Not too hard to find the cache once at the top, you wish the find would take longer, because… then you have to come back down the ladder! In all of our 11,000+ finds I’ve never felt like I could truly die retrieving a cache except for this one. Not for the faint of heart. The trip back down the ladder is just as scary as the trip up, maybe even worse. Once back down on the ground I dropped down and kissed the ground! The real crazy thing is that we gave that cache a favorite point! Thanks Landsharkz for the opportunity to share our Extreme Geocaching adventures.

I would love to do an extreme event by kayak! Already did an ice walk to an island in winter!

Extreme geocaching is going back five times to the same D1,5-T1 cache to avenge a DNF. And I still haven’t found it 🤣 I’m extremely addicted to geocaching!

My favorite extreme geocache adventure was when bearclaw1 and I kayaked to Saltspring Island, and I found a huge house-sized rock that had a cave entrance. At the back of the cave I saw a pencil of light point out a ledge. I planted a cache there and therefore called it Land of the Giants aka Raiders of the Lost Arc, GC63PT0.

I'm going to have to come check out this cave! I have a cave cache of my own in Chilliwack.

I did what I think is an extreme geocache today. Went after a cache called Staveside. We started the hike at Florence Lake road and had to bushwhack a good 700m to GZ. Going over and under fallen trees, jumping rocks in the stream, avoiding swampy areas and avoiding stinging nettle plants. We did find an easier but longer hike out. Cache was published in 2004 but only has 92 find logs. Any cache that can take a long time to get to or requires climbing or kayaking to is an extreme cache in my books.

Now that's not the kind of cave I would have enjoyed clambering into (I have an extreme eversion to bugs and other critters lol........ There are similar 'caves' in our local mountain ranges which were used to hide booze during smuggling operations back in the day. My most extreme challenge was up on a mountain gully where I got cragfast and almost had to call in mountain rescue services. Found the 5/5 cache though. Happy days!! Cheers very much for running this most excellent competition, and for sharing!

Road Trips with Friends, it will be an adventure, not sure where we will end up and we have always done something a bit different.

There is an island in the Fraser River called Douglas Island. Zeppelin94 and I paddled our inflatable kayaks across to explore this cool place. There are about seven caches on the island. You need to do some major bushwhacking/deer trail-finding to find them. It was pretty easy to get to the island, as the slack tide was much nicer. Paddling back to the mainland was another story. You can really feel the power of the Fraser when the current picks up. Silent, but quick! We just barely had the strength to get ourselves back to the beach that we launched from, otherwise we'd be drifting on down to New Westminster!

That looks like a blast! OK that's the adventure geocaching adventure I like to do post c-19. 4x'ing with you guys 😊

The BIG GULP cache in the old water pipeline out by Sooke! ~ Sherlock Jones

I too enjoy extreme geocaching adventures! One particularly memorable one was hiking to the top of the Sleeping Giant near Thunder Bay, Ontario. There is a virtual geocache (GC8911D) at the top which thankfully only requires posting a photo. To get to this virtual cache we biked 7km on a rough road/trail and then left our bikes chained to a bike rack and started the 5km hike up the side of the giant. The trail was rugged, lots of switchbacks and up, up, up. Of course it was down, down, down on the way back! The trip took a full day but it was totally worth it and we were rewarded with some amazing views of Lake Superior once we reached the top!

My Extreme Geocaching adventure was July 2018, when The Mez, Ole, and myself found 52 caches over 18 kms (a lot of back tracking) in one day, over in Ontario on a power trail. It was a good day, lots of sunscreen, and a good pint at the end of the day.

My extreme adventure was a hike to a waterfall in Santa Barbara County, CA called Tangerine Falls. The way to it was a gorgeous trek through woods and over boulders and up small bluffs where tree roots had to be used as ladder rungs. The falls were beautiful and worth the tough hike up to them.

Oh my, I felt claustrophobic just watching you crawl in that cave!! Lol I love geocaching in other countries but I would have to say my most extreme geocaching was in my own country. 🇨🇦 It’s called Egypt Falls and it is an extremely steep hike down to the falls, where you have to hang on to ropes going down because it is so steep. It felt so wonderful once we got down there, and neat knowing that not everybody would ever see these falls because of the hike down. Now.... hiking back up was very hard for me, lol.... lots of breaks taken. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

My Extreme geo Adventure so far has been travelling to Russia for a cache 🙂 if memory serves me, the trip post came out and my geobuddy and I sent the email within the hour to go 🙂🙂 That was a geotrip of a lifetime 🙂♥️ My future extreme (for me) geo adventure includes crossing that train trestle that you took a pic of your son crossing. Can’t wait for that one 😬😬😬😳😳🙂♥️

I have not done a extreme cache yet but got one planned for my 600 only 13 to go it is a old mine shaft in North Wales UK CG4YHHG . Looking forward to this

My extreme adventure was called ‘Raiders of the Lost Cache’ (GC2HN2H) in Pennsylvania USA. You had to drop down into a cave where there was a replica of the ‘Ark of the Covenant’ from the movie ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark.’ To leave the cave you had to army crawl out similar to what was in this video. It was an AWESOME experience.

Extreme to me was cache this winter in CA. It was rated as a 2, 2 1/2. We looked at the peak straight ahead and said, how hard can this be? About a quarter of a mile slightly up hill and onto a peak. Well, aside from slipping and sliding on shale like rocks going up, all was well. We owed at the coords and it was on the back side of the peak......with a small gully to get over and the other side was straight down sheer walls with only one little plateau of a landing to drop yourself onto. No room for two so Lightningbolt46 did the deed. One there he easily found the container tucked in a crevice. But there sure was no room for both of us on that little shelf of a landing. Me the rating should have been a 1, 5! Coords were spot on. A lot of scary fun!

I've only found a couple that I would be willing to call "extreme", but one was the very first geocache I found. It required kayaking to an island. We were inexperienced kayakers, and had a young dog with us, whom we had no idea how she would handle the boat, the water, the birds on the water... Well she was a champ, and despite having trouble finding a landing spot, we safely made it to the cache where there was no fear of muggles hearing us yell "FOUND IT!" Apparently I was hooked, because that was 2012!

an extreme cache I found was on a train bridge it was at least 40 feet high and you can to climb on the side of the bridge to get a small magnet micro and it was super scary because of the height and standing on the small edge on the side of the old train bridge :D

Going in and out of that cave would have drove me crazy. I have not been on any EXTREME geocaching adventures but I've come close. Just yesterday I made a hike with my dog over a mile of dunes to find a cache. (GC801QH - MSPCGT: Silver Lake SP) This was definitely not a Park and Grab. The only way to it was to walk over the dunes. Fortunately it wasn't a hot day and not too cold. I could definitely feel the hike in my legs by the time we got back. It took 1.5 hours to hike there and back. Both the dog and i slept very soundly last night.

I’d love to learn to use mountain climbing equipment to get ine

I have done many tree climbs from geo_canuck77 and Grafinator. But want to do their cave caches Hand and Feet 1 & 2. But I’m slowly buying tree climbing gear to hide some 5 Terrain caches

I would like to use a kayak to find som geocaches :)

All this time I don't think I knew you had a channel!! So,... my idea of an extreme caching adventure is a special day set aside to hike for a few hours,... I think it would be cool to paddle part of the way as well. I don't have an off road vehicle, and I seldom have anyone with me as my schedule is weird! So,... maybe not a cave crawl, just a great day of challenfpging myself to be prepared and get the caches I had hoped to! ....there is, however, a TB of mine that presently is on the top of a mountain in Austria. I WOULD like to hike to THAT!

I’ve done several extreme caches over the years, but my most memorable have to be hiking to the plane crash at Mt Stoyoma, then hiking up the same mountain the next day, hiking to the top of Needle Peak, and a cache along the Oregon Coast where you go over a guard rail at the side of the highway, down a narrow trail to a cave under the road!

We have an urban cache called 'Extreme Challenge - Tunnel of Terror' GCKQ73. A multi cache with 3 locations that is hidden in the tunnels under Canberra's streets. I organised a group of cachers to tackle this cache together in 2017. We had a safety crew on top and made sure there had been no rain and none predicted. We walked several km up into these tunnels to find waymarks and the last walk took us through thigh deep water to gz. Lots of spiders, crocodiles (haha joking), mud and climbs got us to the end. A most memorable cache and day

T5 caches offer a different way to geocache, but often, it only requires a boat or a ladder to reach them. What I find challenging are T4.5 caches, where you have to swim or climb yourself because the PZ is too far from the parking to bring a tool. I vividly recall a cache I found while skiing at Sun Peaks in 2018, hidden beneath a pine tree down an expert trail. I had to dig my way through the powder snow to get near the trunk and check where the CO might have put the container. Great FTF also!

I hiked out to the Spires of Cape Split in the Bay of Fundy {Nova Scotia} and stood in the wind tunnel. So cool. I am with Helen. I'll watch the bags while you go in the cave.

Hi guys!! We can’t wait to go and find this cave, the boys do love the creepy, dark caves!! Excited to see your adventure! Family Brown Bear felt Big Gulp was pretty extreme for us!

My interpretation of extreme Geocaching would be anything that takes extraordinary effort or something that takes the geocacher out of their comfort zone. I’ll be the first to admit that my heart started racing when I pictured myself inside that cave. I’ve done some long hikes/bikes for geocaches as well as some steep terrain too. I don’t have a boat or kayak but really want to start doing some T5’s that get me out on the water in the Lower Mainland or Van Island!

I don't know if this one is classified as an extreme geocache but it is an amazing spot. It is on top of Gros Morne Mountain in Newfoundland. The views up there are truly amazing. It is an 8 hour trek up and back. We've done this mountain 3 times but the last time we found it too difficult so we don't plan to do it again as it took us 10 hours on that last trip. Getting old I guess. Unfortunately we could not log this one as a find as the container was missing on that day.

The most extreme day for us was caching sunrise to sunset along the logging trails in Sooke. The hikes themselves were quite challenging and outside my comfort zone; not the nature walk we were used to.

This video brought back memories of getting stuck in a cave in Hawaii. I thought it was in the cave which started off very wide... but the cache was at the other entrance which was very narrow. I walked at first, then stooped, then crawled towards the light. I was halfway out and got stuck. Lucky for me, I relaxed and pushed on. I've been in ice caves, kayaked to an island, climbed up to a cave using ropes (the bear was out) and a few other challenging adventures. Thank you for the video.

That cave seems very much like one we have in Rockwood Ontario - need to enter the cave just like that (though the ground is in a dip and gets pretty wet and fun which makes for some great fun, haha). Except that one you do need to go inside, no logging that Earthcache from outside! That's a long tunnel though, almost looks like someone made it :) We described 'extreme' pretty much exactly the same, per my comment on LANMonkey's video! Completely agree :)

One of my favorite geocaching adventures was kayaking down the San Jacinto River and finding geocaches along the way.

My extreme geocaching is pretty much every cache in a foreign country. Those are usually difficult to find when you dont know the area, just your feet to go. I also climbed a couple of mountains, went to the desert, to water, yes yes even underwater cache! That was so cool and broke my ribs in the forest in BC.

My extreme geocaching adventure would have been finding a cache in a cave a number of years ago.

A few years ago I found a difficulty 5 cache that involved a kayak trip and a climb up a cliff. I took my geodog Oreo who had to be boosted up the cliff but he found the kayak on the way back when I took a wrong turn. An extreme cache team effort.

I lost the lens of my glasses inside a deep hollow stump. As I’d run out of tools to retrieve the lens I put out a post on the local FB geocaching page. A kind geocacher drove an hour to help and we’ve been caching buddies ever since.

I haven't done an extreme cache yet. I would definitely like to try caving!
