Chasing Coordinates

A Geocacher's Guide to the World

In 2015, Björn Elg found his first geocache and got hooked. Ten years later: 42 countries cached, 800 kilometres driven through Kansas for a container the size of a lunchbox, and 300+ caches of his own placed on Norwegian mountain roads that now bring tourists to places they'd never otherwise find. Chasing Coordinates isn't a manual. It's an honest, funny and occasionally muddy account of what happens when geocaching stops being a hobby and starts being a way of seeing the world — the friendships, the obsessions, the 25 minutes spent searching for your own cache in the forest, and the growing suspicion that the way really is the goal.

Geocaching Event Logs

100 Events to Fill — Date, Cache ID, Coordinates, Signatures & Stamps

Every geocaching event deserves its own page — not half a page, not a shared spread. This logbook gives you 100 dedicated event pages, each with structured fields for the event name, date, GC code, coordinates and type (Event · CITO · Mega · Giga), plus a generous open section for the thing that makes every event worth logging: signatures and stamps from fellow cachers. Two highlight tracker pages at the back let you keep a running record of the gatherings that stayed with you. At 5″×8″ it fits in a jacket pocket. 100 events — over 67% more than any comparable logbook currently available.

Japan Stamp Journal

記念スタンプ帳 · Stations · Parks · Museums · Rest Stops

Japan is full of free commemorative stamps — at train stations, rest stops, parks, museums and dozens of unexpected places. Each one is a small piece of local art, often changing with the seasons, and free for the taking if you know to look. This journal gives you dedicated space for 200+ stamps, with date, place and note fields on every slot — so years from now you'll remember not just where the stamp came from, but what the day was actually like. Compact 5″×8″, fits in a daypack or jacket pocket. Includes a note on goshuin (temple and shrine stamps), which traditionally belong in their own dedicated goshuincho.

Cache Hider's Logbook

Plan, Place & Maintain Your First 50 Geocaches

Hiding a geocache is easy. Maintaining it for years is the real challenge. This logbook gives every cache you own a dedicated two-page dossier — a private record of your hiding spot, access notes, and complete maintenance history that never goes online. 50 cache dossiers with private hide description, GPS coordinates (listed and actual/final — essential for mysteries and multis), stage notes for multi-caches, 4 dated maintenance log entries per cache with condition ratings, and triggered-by checkboxes. Includes planning checklists, container selection and camouflage guides, D/T rating guidance, notes on working with reviewers, FTF culture, and a 50-row My Cache Registry index. Based on more than a decade of hiding caches across Norway and beyond.
