## Hiding a Cache

Use `/discaching hide`.

### What you need

* A container in inventory.
* Required hide details:
  * Name
  * Description
  * Location
  * Difficulty
  * Terrain
  * Container choice
  * Pen (optional)

### Location rules

* You can select the location via the map.
* If another published cache is too close, you cannot place a cache there.
* If the selected location is too far from your current position, you need to travel there first.

### Container and logbook behavior

* Containers can have size/color/log modifiers.
* If container has no logbook, you must choose one to hide it.
* Larger containers can include an optional writing instrument.

### Publish flow

* Your hide is saved as draft/unpublished first.
* You submit for review.
* It becomes playable only after approval via a reviewer.
  * Reviewers include @not.cbh and @echoperson.

## Finding a Cache

Use `/discaching find`.

### Find checks

* Cache must exist and be published.
* You cannot find your own cache.
* You must be near cache (about 0.1 km / 100m).
* For a Found It log, you need a usable writing instrument unless the cache already has one.

### Log types

* Found It
* Did Not Find
* Write Note

Favorite point is only relevant for a Found It log.

### First To Find (FTF)

* FTF is awarded when you are the first to post a '`Found It`' log on that cache.

### Swag Exchange

On eligible cache sizes, you can exchange:

* Swag
* Stickers
* Trackables
