S6 E6 Challenge Caches with BFMC
Challenge Caches Because a Regular Smiley Is Too EasyEver found a cache you can’t log until you’ve done 100 multis, spelled your name with finds, and survived a streak? That’s a Challenge Cache. This month we’re catching up with BFMC, a fellow cacher who’s made Challenge hunting a true part of the game.Whether you're just wrapping your head around what a Challenge Cache even is, or you're halfway through a fizzy grid and knee-deep in project-gc tabs, this one’s for you. We’re talking about what makes a Challenge Cache different, how to figure out if you qualify, and some of the creative and downright weird ones we’ve come across. Plus, BFMC shares how these caches changed the way he plays the game.We’ll also cover what to keep in mind if you’re thinking about placing your own Challenge Cache, and the number one piece of advice he gives to anyone attempting their first.Enjoying the show, why not connect with GDU on our socials?You can find us on:YT - https://www.youtube.com/c/GeocachingDownunderFB - https://www.facebook.com/GeocachingDownunderIG - https://www.instagram.com/geocachingdownunder/T - https://twitter.com/GeocachingDUWant to support the number 1 Australian Geocaching Podcast?
