I am a beginner at geocaching and have been doing it for only a few months with my partner. The caches we find are in urban area's and tend to be the usual magnetic nana, 35mm film case type and click lock boxes. Yesterday I decided to search for 'unusual cache containers' just to get an idea of what kind of thing to look out for whilst caching when I came upon Sven's You Tube channel and started watching some of his video's.
I thought they were fantastic and really enjoyed seeing the inventive ways caches are hidden, way more exciting than the caches we have found! It's really opened my eyes.
Sven does state on his channel where he is from and so if you are likely to come across these caches, don't watch the video's - simple! How can you moan about them being spoilers for you but still watch them?
I feel that Svens videos will help beginners become better cachers, both at spotting tell tale signs and finding caches and also when it comes to hiding their own caches. Sven is obviously a dedicated and serious cacher and would never do anything to spoil anyone's fun, but rather to educate people and show how rewarding it can be to find these clever caches. Remember not all of us have found thousands of different caches all over the world! Some of us genuinely want to learn as much as we can and what to expect from caches.
He should not be banned, if people want to 'cheat' to find caches that is no fault of Svens, I have seen in logs people ringing other cachers to 'get help' finding a cache, yet that is fine? There have also been photographs and logs that give away alot of information. These Videos are a log of Svens favourite finds as well as his own hides and are really great to see.
