+Frank Broughton Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Good job HHH! Us with bad ears appreciate the no background music when you were talking. I like the idea of the cache. Funny part with your puppy - did he really do it? Quote Link to comment

Enjoy! http://headhardhat-geocache.blogspot.com/2...vc-hydrant.html -HHH Clever cache idea but it doesn't look like any fire hydrant I've seen before. I've noticed fire hydrants in fields and a few other odd places while out geocaching and have thought about trying to find a real one and convert it to a geocache but am a bit worried about what might happen if there was a real fire in the area and what the FD might think if they tried to use it.

I really don't think it will be an issue. The hydrant is only about 4 inches tall. Hiders can paint it any color they wish and I only referenced it as a hydrant because it looks like a cartoon hydrant to me. -HHH Quote Link to comment
whitelake Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Really enjoyed your video. Even had to go to YouTube to get more and subscribe. You have a real knack for that. Quote Link to comment

OK, you place this near any building that any type of emergency incident takes place, and you cost the responders precious seconds and some gets hurts and dies. Oh, it is just a game you say. Bull!!! You sir, need to think hard and fast about the stupidity that you have posted here. Rant Off. Quote Link to comment

You sir, need to think hard and fast about the stupidity that you have posted here. Rant Off. I hope you are joking. I've been a professional firefighter for 20 years. I cannot imagine any firefighter mistaking that item for a fire hydrant. I can see why the OP called it a 'fire hyrant' geocache. It has a resemblance. If placed in the right location, and as the video states, "WITH PERMISSION", there should be no problems. It's a nice container and would work well as a geocache. No one should worry about a delay in getting water on a fire because this item is in the bushes near a building. Edited May 27, 2009 by JoesBar Quote Link to comment
+Team Shiney Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Oh so you did not even watch the movie? How could you and get any idea that this is harmful? Get real. Go find some more caches and quite insulting people. Go HHH!!! Make more movies!

I think that TheBurgOfSalt2 was responding to NYPaddleCacher who was wondering about getting an old REAL fire hydrant and making a cache out of it. I can see how that might not be such a good idea.cause some confusion and be a problem. Of course no one would think that HHH's mini hydrant is a real hydrant. Quote Link to comment
