Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) - Geocache Placement and a Cool Contest

Andy HeadHardHat Smith and Courtney Wallin (Geocaching World)

Had a great time last night as we recorded our Latest Episode of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv).  Due to some unforeseen issues we had to take a few weeks off and believe you - me both Courtney Wallin and I were just itching to get back into the groove.  The photo above was taken just before we started the show by Courtney and she says to me, " make a happy dance " , so that is just what I did. Now this image is proudly displayed somewhere in Instagram for all the world to enjoy.

Our latest episode was very informative as we discussed placing a Geocache. Everything from how to pick just the right spot to put a geocache hide, figuring out if other geocaches are nearby to how the review process works. There are tons of insightful Geocaching greatness for you to contemplate so when the episode comes out in a couple of days be sure to watch it. 

We also introduced a brand spanking new contest for you to get involved with. How would you like to possibly win a limited edition Chris Mackey Geocoin based book?  I knew you would, just look at this beauty.

The rules are simple. To have an entry in the drawing to win this amazing prize you need to take a photograph of yourself with a Geocoin. It can be either one you found while out Geocaching or from your personal collection. Send that photograph with all your contact information to headhardhat@gmail.com. Have it in no later than 12:00 Noon ET October 9,2012. Now here's the kicker. If you have somewhere in the photo the words or logo for Geocaching World we will put TWO entries in for you. Remember - only one photo per person please. Restrictions of the law for your personal residence may apply.

So hurry up and get your photos in. Who knows you might get them shown in one of our social services or on Geocaching World itself. Good Luck to everyone.

Geocachers - Time To Get Discovered!

Discovered an amazing book by Chris Mackey

We had mentioned a while back about an amazing book by geocoin designer extraordinaire Chris Mackey and what a book it is. It's titled Discovered Memoirs of a Geocoin Designer and in my not so humble opinion, it's a 'bute.

For starters let me tell you about the book first. It's hard covered and beautifully illustrated. It's limited edition and get this it's trackable at geocaching.com. So if you have any interest in geocoins, how they are made or just want to enjoy the beautiful full color example of art that Chris Mackey has originated this book is for you.

Chris Mackey and HeadHardHat

I will tell you how to go purchase one (while they last) at the end of this post but first WAIT - Don't go anywhere yet!!! Chris and the fine people at GxProxy have donated a copy of DISCOVERED for one lucky person to win.

Which means we are going to have a contest which will officially be starting Tuesday, August 28th, 2012. All details will be given first on Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) when we record LIVE at 6:30pm ET. You will want to be in our chatroom or G+ hangout that night because you will have the opportunity of getting an extra chance to the final drawing to win the book. Essentially doubling your chances! So be sure to click the Geocaching World link at the top right of this blog to get to the RVNN Ustream Chatroom (don't forget to book mark it) then we will all meet up on Tuesday night for ALL the details.

Now if you want to learn more about Chris's amazing book and purchase one for yourself. Go to the GxProxy website and click on the graphic. Enjoy. Did I mention there are only so many left???

Get Your Geocaching World Signs Ready To Win A Brazos Traveler Walking Stick

www.BrazosWalkingSticks.com

Okay I have read out in the Geocaching World that not everybody goes geocaching with a walking stick. To each, his or her own I say. Yet even if you don't normally use one or maybe you do, wouldn't it be cool to have a hand made one for your very own? Have it standing next to the fireplace or in that special corner in the den, it makes a great conversation piece. That or you can walk it down to a nub if you want to use it for it's actual purpose. Either way it is just too cool!

Well we are giving a Brazos "Traveler" Walking Stick away on Geocaching World (RVNN.tv). They were kind enough to donate one for our Cache Stash and we are in turn happy to give it away as a prize to a lucky viewer of the show.

So how do you win it? Great question.

You make yourself a picture stating at the very least the words "Geocaching World" on it. You can print it off, make it yourself, be as creative as you would like. Note creativity does not get you extra points but it will more than likely get your photo on the show!

Viewer Dane Morgan's Entry

I have my picture of Geocaching World now what?  Take that grand creation you made and have a photograph of you and your picture of Geocaching World taken while geocaching.




Email your photo to geocache@rvnn.tv.

• Include all your contact information
• A brief description of where abouts you were when having the photo taken 
• What you like about our Geocaching World show and/or what else you would like to see on the show.

This will get your entry into the drawing. Remember one entry per person please.  Please put "Brazos Contest" in the subject line of the email. We will be accepting entries until End Of Day, Wednesday, October 19th, 2011. Again one entry per person please.

More details on this week's show. So stay tuned.

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Episode #30 Paperless Geocaching Meet and Greet

Tonight's episode of Geocaching World was once again a Meet and Greet format which meant it is a whole lot less formal overall. Creative Director Dave Dufour and myself like doing the show this way. Mainly because we can interact directly with the folks in the chat room. This is great because we can start on a particular subject and the chat room can direct in a way how the show goes. It is a lot of fun. 


Because this format is a lot less formal we can give away a lot more prizes which is always great with the chat room and our viewers. This week we gave a really nice cami bison tube from GxProxy.com which went to Pingvoyager who is a regular in the chat room. We also showed a bunch of photos that were sent in for the Vonage: Time To Call contest we have been running all week. It showed geocachers doing what they do best. The entries that were sent in goes into a drawing that one lucky winner will win a brand new iPad 2. The drawing is Saturday, September 3, 2011. 


The meat of discussion with today's show dealt with Paperless Geocaching. We went over the general history of paperless geocaching and how it and GPSrs has developed over the years. We talked about everything from PDAs, Netbooks, Tablets, Smart Phones and other applications. 


The second prize we gave out was really cool. For the Vonage contest there is a limit of one entry per person. The prize we did here was who ever sent in the correct answer from the chat room would win ten entries to possibly win the iPad2. Viewer AVToolman was the viewer with the correct answer.


There is a whole lot of great discussion and other valuable information in the show itself. Be sure to check it out when it becomes available in iTunes in the next day or so.


Enjoy. 


Here is all the details for the Vonage: Time To Call iPad 2 Giveaway
http://headhardhat-geocache.blogspot.com/2011/08/vonage-time-to-call-ipad-giveaway.html

Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) is recorded each and every week on Thursdays at 6:30pm EST. It is recorded live and can be seen also on the Tech Podcast Network (techpodcasts.com).

Behind The Scenes: Geocaching World (RVNN.tv) Ep. 29 - Create Your Own Geocache Meet and Greet

Wow, what a night! So many fantastic things going all at once for this episode of Geocaching World (RVNN.tv).

First off this was the very first time that we ran LIVE video as we recorded on both RVNN.tv and the TechPodcast Network at the same time. Next we are starting our Fall recording schedule so our new night is Thursdays at 6:30pm EST.

Finally we are a part of a Vonage IPad2 Giveaway. In tonight's episode one lucky winner in our chat room won 10 total chances to win the Vonage prize. Another slight change we presented this episode with a geocacher's Meet and Greet style to it. A bit more casual and a bunch more interaction with the chatroom. It was definitely different but a lot of fun.

I think the people in the chat room had a lot more fun as well. The discussions for today included making your own geocaches for example we talked about my Evil Ant Hill Geocache which we showed how we made it out of bondo. Then we went over a whole set of PVC geocaches and finished with my Evil Resin Geocaches. For prizes our winners were Collin who won a Cache-A-Maniacs Podcast Geocoin and Scott won the 10 chances to win the Vonage IPad2. If you want to put in your chance to win the IPad2. Go to RVNN.tv's website, my blog (GeoCache: I'm NOT Obsessed... Right?) or my GeoSnippits website for all the details or watch tonight's show should be out by the time you are reading this. Did I mention that the commercial we used during the show featured me as I describe the Vonage product Time To Call and the giveaway contest? Way cool!

 Also during this show we had some great photos sent in from the chatroom. I am not going to spoil and tell everything but one of them was how David Clark made a Cryptex geocache. You really need to see this! After that Dave Dufour, Courtney Wallin, Andy McCaskey and myself Andy HeadHardHat Smith did our daily episode of RVNN Live.

Made for a very full evening and a whole lot of fun. Judging from the chat room they had fun and I hope we made a whole lot of new friends on the TechPodcast as well.

See you next week!

Geocaching World is recorded LIVE each week on Thursday's at 6:30pm EST. Be a part of the show by joining our chat room on RVNN.tv.

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.

If you have any questions, comments or ideas please contact me at geocache@rvnn.tv

Thank You,

-HHH
