4: Why extreme-caching.com?
We are a pretty rare breed of cacher, we are always looking for a new challenge, but it is hard to find a quality cache in the ocean of parking lot caches. So we decided to create this website and give extreme cachers another home to share their experiences without all the clutter. Extreme cachers can organize trips on the forum and find other cachers that share the same passion. Our site is run by volunteers.
5: This looks like fun, how do I find extreme caches?
This site lists quality extreme caches, but we cannot keep up with every cache that gets published in the world. One way is to look for 5 terrain caches on Geocaching.com. Running a pocket query is a good way to filter them out of the clutter, to do this you have to be a premium Geocaching.com member. You can also try our forum and ask if anybody knows of a good cache in your area.
6: How can I contribute?

8: I see "this" cache featured on your site but it is not an extreme cache!
Extreme caching is different for everybody and there are a lot of forms of it, also sometimes we'll list a cache that may not be very extreme but it's so good that it we will list it anyways, quality is more important than the "danger" level. However it does happen that we get "tricked" into listing a cache or make a mistake, so if you really sure this cache does not belong, don't hesitate to send us an email.
