Behind the Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN) - GPSr Breakdown and Darrylw4 Talks GeoWoodstock IX

Tonight was a real treat for me. We were recording Episodes #21 and #22 of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) which were a whole lot of fun to discuss but the real enjoyment was being able to have my very good friend Darryl Wattenberg aka Darrylw4 as our special guest.

In Episode #21 we discussed at great lengths the different varieties of GPSr units. The main focal points were examined from a geocaching Flash Mob Event I held last year. It was HeadHardHat's Great GPSr Experiment and it was a really great example of how geocachers accuracy really is in the wild.

The other interesting part of this episode was Dave Dufour's encounter of a geocache within a long forgotten cemetery that was only a few hundred feet off of well traveled road. Another example of how geocachers find places no one would know existed if it were not for geocaching.

Episode #22 featured my good friend Darrylw4. Darryl is co-host of the Cache-a-Maniacs Podcast, co-host of the Geocaching Podcast with myself and XpunkX and the head honcho of the Cachers of the Round Table Podcast.  Tonight's episode discussed the Media/Podcast setup and schedule of GeoWoodstock IX. Since Darrylw4 is pretty much single handily equipping the entire effort. It seemed more than fitting to put his efforts into the spotlight.

The series of media and podcasts being made available has never been done before. This episode will be put to the head of the line so we can make the GeoWoodstock show. Be sure to watch RVNN.tv, Itunes and the blogs to catch the episode A.S.A.P.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) - Lunchtime Caching and Unique Geocaching Containers


Hokey smokes Bullwinkle we had two jammed packed shows taped tonight.  Show #19 dealt with one of my favorite Geocaching activities - Lunchtime Geocaching. Yes that rare combination of Geocaching quickness and still having time to get something to eat before the buzzer goes off and it's back to work. I tell you what though there is nothing that takes the doldrums out of the daily grind than getting outside and finding a cache.  The exhilaration alone gets the blood pumping, add a quick meal and you are ready to take on that afternoon inbox.

Today's episode took us on three separate adventures including a skirt hide, grate hide and a gazebo by a lake. Loads of Geocaching fun. Add in other great tips and tricks to make your timely Geocaching enjoyable and you have yourself a fun time made for all.

Episode #20 was based off a recent event i attended hosted by the Dirtbag Geocaching Society. These guys want to promote Geocaching by pushing the limit and it shows in the three separate demonstrations we present in this episode. Creative Director Dave Dufour and I talk about everything unique and the chat room agrees. Then again the chat room is always hopping when Geocaching World is going on.

Geek of the week is going on and you always have a great chance to win some really sweet prizes. For more details check out my blog or the RVNN.tv website. Then look up Geocaching World under shows for more details.

If you want to get in on the fun and join our chat room of Geocaching enthusiasts. Meet up with us on Mondays at 6:30pm EST. You not only get to enjoy the Geocaching goodness of the shows themselves weeks before they are released. You gain all the knowledge from our in between sets which usually has more content then the shows themselves. It is the real deal and there for your viewing pleasure. Check it out if you haven't before and if you have then all we can say is see you next week!

- HHH

Geocaching World is produced by Courtney Wallin with Managing Director Andy McCaskey.

Promote Your Organization or Product - Donate To Our Geocaching World Prize Swag Bag!

Okay here's the situation. We have a whole slew of really great geocaching contests we want to have on Geocaching World. This is to help get our viewers even more involved with our show. The issue is we have this big ole Swag Bag for holding all the prizes but we don't have any swag. Now that is a sad set of affairs I must say. So we are asking any companies, organizations, geocachers, etc. Who would like to donate an item to our Prize Swag Bag, in turn we will mention your company, organization or product on our Geocaching World Internet TV show. This is a very good way of getting you noticed to a whole lot of people in the Geocaching and RVing world for a very small price of a donation.

Not sure what to donate? Here are some but not limited to ideas:
Geocoins, Pathtags, GPS units, RV rentals, hiking items, hiking clothes, specialty outdoors items, RV items, camping items, geocaching swag packages, geocaches, etc.

If interested, please contact me Andy HeadHardHat Smith directly at headhardhat@gmail.com and we will make arrangements as needed.

We would greatly appreciate it and the sooner the better. These contests are going to be fantastic and all the better with your prize donations.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) - How To Look For Geocaches and Geocaching Destinations

Greetings geocaching fans we had a great time last night doing episodes #17 and #18 of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv). To be honest I was getting a little worried when I noticed the missing amount of action on the RVNN Live monitor. Normally the station is a buzz with activity on Mondays and there wasn't a whole lot of activity being broadcast. What gives? Well from what I gather there has been a whole lot of equipment upgrades and swap-outs over the past few weeks. Combine that with summertime schedules, vacations and other out of the norms and you get a bit of chaos ensuing situations. Anyhow, right about 6:30pm EST everybody showed up and we started shooting pretty much on time. Just kinda missed not doing my cameo on RVNN Live. Oh well.

The tapings went great as usual. We met the new intern "Andy", yes there are now three Andy's in the studio which makes communication a bit interesting. All you hear during production is "Andy I need you to do X, no the other Andy...", all part of the fun.

Show #17 dealt with what to look for while geocaching. You don't usually get that kind of information from people unless you ask which is why this turned out to be such a great show. We actually broke things down by Urban, Wooded and miscellaneous examples of geocaching ground zero areas and then discussed the best places to actually look for the geocache itself. Hopefully this will give beginners some food for thought the next time they go out.

Show #18 talked about geocaching destinations. In other words if you were planning a trip either in your RV, camper or everyone piled in the cachemobile. What is some of the best ways to find geocaches. What we ended up doing is using suggestions from our viewers in the chat room. We had a really good crowd last night and the discussions were going fast and furious as usual. In between discussions of geocaching we were asked to investigate several areas around the country and what we found might surprise you. What that was you will have to see when you watch the actual show which should be out in a few weeks.

See it pays to come come visit us during our live recordings. First off you get to see how an actual TV show is shot, produced and recorded. Plus we talk more about geocaching in between the actual segments than during the show itself. We answer a lot of questions from the chat room audience and many times use those questions in the show itself. Finally you get the sneak peek of all the shows before they air out in the media main stream. Don't forget we record Mondays at 6:30pm EST.. Be there or miss out on a lot of great geocaching goodness.

Geocaching World also includes Dave Dufour who is Creative Director, Courtney Wallin, Producer and Andy McCaskey, Managing Director.

That's all for now..

See you next week!

Do You Roku? Watch All The RVNN.tv Podcasts On The Big Screen!


There are several different ways of watching RVNN.tv Internet TV shows on your computer and mobile devices. Everything from Blubrry, Blip.tv, Itunes and straight off of the RVNN.tv website to smart phone apps, Zune, etc.. It is quite enjoyable to watch by yourself but when you really want to enjoy our shows with more than one and have the whole gang present how can we watch on the TV screen?

There are a few really great options if you want to run a cable from your PC to the big screen. Those cables can be expensive and only if you have the right hardware. A much better option is to purchase an Internet streaming option like Roku or Boxee. I personally have a Roku box and find more and more interesting and useful content every day.

When using Roku you instantly have access to Blubrry where you can watch RVNN.tv content like our show RVNN Live. That in itself was great but I wanted ALL the RVNN shows that were available. Fear not viewers, I found an answer.

There is a thing called a Private Channels which allows you to add extra channels to your Roku collection. This is accessed via your Roku Account. When done, simply put in the code ITPC which will add the Itunes Podcasts channel. There you can search for RVNN and the entire line up will appear. Just remember to select video as your selection choice.

Now you can sit back in your easy chair, enjoy your favorite libation and watch Geocaching World and all the rest of the wonderful RVNN.tv shows.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) - Geocaching with the Family and Series Geocaches

Greetings fellow geocachers. Last night's tapings of Geocaching World were a bit exhausting. Not because of the really extensive amount of cool video we used during the show. Not because of the explanations of why we were up in trees, climbing down cliffs or even hunting for geocaches in three foot cement tubes under busy North Carolina highways. Nope. The real reason I actually felt a bit drained is because there weren't as many fans in our Ustream chat room last night. Oh sure I know we have been moving the nights around a lot the past month because of the holidays and scheduling and stuff but it really was last night that I noticed REALLY how important it is to have you their watching and participating with us while we record the show to make it fun! YOU provide the energy that keeps us pumped. So please do us a huge favor and be there each and every week on Mondays at 6:30pm EST. It's not the same without you!

So what happened with the show? Yesterday was just kind of weird all way round. There was issues with Skype and some really poor performance. This made it difficult to do the show because sometimes the screen would lock up and I could not see what was going on but yet still had to continue because we are recording LIVE. Sometimes weird stuff would happen on RVNN.tv's end like running out of disk space half way through a segment or they had connectivity issues. I mean it happens but maybe we had sun spots or something.

The shows themselves turned out great where the first episode was about taking the family out geocaching. We had a lot of good GeoSnippits video for you to see and enjoy. The second show was about a series of geocaches that dealt with phobias. Dave and I both had a lot of fun with that one as well. You will be able to see these shows in about a month on Itunes. Look for shows #15 and #16 respectively.

Well that's all for now. Please be sure to come and visit while we record Geocaching World each and every week. We have contests, prizes and a whole lot of great discussion about geocaching. Join us, won't you?

Cya next week!

It Never Hurts To Ask - Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Sponsorship

Right here and now some amazing opportunities have become available to not only the Geocaching businesses but many other companies that touch the Geocaching communities as well. Without trying to sound too much like a sales pitch, now is the time to contact Andy HeadHardHat Smith and or RVNN.tv about advertising your business or products with our Geocaching World Internet TV show.

Even though we just recently went into production in late April our LIVE audiences have been breaking viewership records at RVNN.tv and we are not talking by a little bit but huge percentages. We are looking for sponsors right now and there is only a limited number of advertising slots available with the Geocaching World show. Pricing right now is very affordable for just about everyone but you have to act now! It never hurts to ask and you may be surprised how you can highlight your company or products with us. Here is what we are looking for:

Straight sponsorship, you advertise your product, company or services as a commercial in Geocaching World's time slots.

Product Usage, if you have a product that is used in the Geocaching activity and are willing to donate for use in the show we will mention it as a contributing advertisement and when used in the show. This can include but not limited to:
  • Geocaching products
  • Clothing
  • Equipment
  • GPS equipment
  • Photography products
  • RV rental and usage for the show
  • Camping and hiking equipment
  • Etc.

We are currently looking for an RV company willing to donate an RV for the show on a need to use basis. This would be a high profile key factor when used!

If you have a product that you would like reviewed on the show we would also take under consideration.

If interested I highly recommend you act now. Current sponsorship is already in the works.

Note that all sponsorship will be processed and put under approval with RVNN.tv management.

Contact Andy HeadHardHat Smith for further details at:

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) - Geocaching Swag and Night Caching

Yeah I know, this is a late edition for my behind the scenes observations of this weeks Geocaching World (RVNN.tv). I do have to apologize for being a day late but lets face it. It's a short work week with the holiday, we moved the recording this week to Wednesday and I have been running around like a geocacher with a bad satellite signal. It's been crazy.

Not that I am complaining but here is what Wednesday was like for me.
  • Completed a standard work day. I am a Sr. Software QA Engineer.
  • Rushed home to film a one minute commercial for our newest sponsor ADT.  It had to be done TODAY!
  • Setup lights, sound and computer for Geocaching World recordings. We tape two shows a week.
  • Was asked to come on early and be a guest on RVNN LIVE. Had a lot of fun as usual talking with the gang and discussing geocaching in general.
  • Filmed two Geocaching World TV shows. 
  • With three minutes to spare tear down Geocaching World setup and prepare for Geocaching Podcast recording.
  • Do the Geocaching Podcast show.

Around 10:30 pm EST I was finally able to eat some lite dinner, answer emails and then go to bed to get up for the next day. Phew.

All part of the fun and to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way. So now that you know how hectic things can be lets break down this weeks Geocaching World show.

As stated above I came on early and was a guest on RVNN LIVE. There Dave Dufour and I talked about some of the subjects we would be discussing. When that was finished it was time for pre-show prepping which meant after my equipment was in order I was busy Tweeting everybody and letting them know that we were about to start recording, did they register for Geek of the Week, meet up in the chat room in XXX number of minutes. That kind of stuff.

That night we talked about two different things. First was Night Time geocaching which was a lot of fun. The chat room was really hopping with the introduction of Geek of the Week, where we have a contest that you can win prizes for bringing people to come see us record live (more information on our website - http://geocaching-world.blogspot.com/ ). So basically Courtney our Producer had a lot of fun trying to keep up with the chat room AND produce the show.

Each show consists of three segments. In between is all the commercials and interest points RVNN wants you to know about. As always we get into discussions with the people in the chat room and I really believe we talk more about geocaching in between sets than in the actual show. We really do love talking so the more the merrier. It also shows why it is so very important to see the live recordings. You get that much more information.

Anyhow the first show was a breeze and the second dealt with the subject of geocaching swag. Very good show except we ran out of disk space half way through segment three and had to redo that one from scratch. Eh, it happens. You grin and bare it. Part of show biz.

We had our first Geek of the Week winner that night who was 'NYC Geocaching'. He came up with a rather unique way of getting the most number of people to come and watch the show. We will have to tell how in a future posting. Very creative is all I can say. Stay tuned for more details on that too.

Well this has become a very long posting but we had a lot to talk about. See you on Monday 6/6/2011 at 6:30 PM EST for the next tapings. Be sure to check out our Geek of the Week postings so you can get in on the prizes.

Until next week!

This Weeks Geocaching World's Geek of the Week Winner is...


We had an amazing time last night taping Geocaching World. Normally we record on Mondays at 6:30pm EST but because of the holiday weekend we moved over to Wednesday. Didn't matter we had tons of viewers and an extremely active chat room. Thanks from us to you for being there!

Anyways we have a contest each week with Geocaching World called the Geek of the Week where YOU our viewers can win some pretty cool prizes by bringing other viewers into our chat room when we are recording the show. How do you get into this amazing contest you ask? Very easily actually.


  • Go to Ustream and make an account - it's free and takes 3 seconds to do. 
  • Send our Producer: Courtney Wallin an email with the word GEEK in the subject and your Ustream login name in the body of the email.
  • Courtney will send you back a secret code for you only. Give that code to your friends, family, etc. and tell them to come to our LIVE recordings of Geocaching World. Usually at 6:30pm EST on Mondays. Here is our live link: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/rvnn-live
  • They will give the code you gave them to Courtney and you will get credit for each person who gives your code.
If you get the most codes for the night you are our Geek of the Week and will win an RVNN.tv sticker. But wait there's more! If you get 100 people to eventually come to the chatroom with your code you will win really cool prizes like RVNN hats, Go Cups and more. 

This weeks winner of the Geek of the Week contest is: 
NYC Geocaching - way to go Jeremy!

Congrats to the winner and remember to get those people in our chat room next week for another chance to win!
