Geo-caching offers solutions for physical trades, allowing goods to travel without parties meeting, and bonded escrows make fraud uneconomical.

The good old cold-war style dead letterbox.

It'd be better if you don't use geocaching since it has public locations, some random person could stumble on the good you are trading and it requires account on a proprietary platform. The better solution would be to hide it in a bush somewhere and share a location to the bush to the other party

Yes, I'm talking about the concept, not the company.

How escrow could work in this scenario? My fantasy seems to be limited...

The rock or the hole in the tree becomes the escrow provider.

Ehm. How "your kind of escrow" help, if I pay and then no goods is provided on the location?

Or opposite? Will send location but never get sats?

How "rock" could help?

Courier costs are somewhat prohibitive.
