<h1>Expo 2013 needs / Suggestions from expo 2012</h1>

<ul>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>O-rings for hangers</li>
|
2012-08-31 17:09:22 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>More maillons</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Purple gear tape</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>All CUCC gear marked with purple tape BEFORE Expo including stuff
|
|
|
|
|
bought on gear order</li>
|
2012-09-12 00:12:58 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>2m of 12mm clear heat shrink for rope marking</li>
|
2012-08-31 17:09:22 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>3 BIG tacklesacks</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>New drybags for drills (current ones leak) or alternative way to
|
2012-09-08 00:28:30 +01:00
|
|
|
keep drills dry <p>Duncan suggests <a href="http://swaygogear.com">Swaygo</a> bags.
|
|
|
|
|
They're not cheap, but they seal like a drybag and are extremely
|
|
|
|
|
durable - in fact they're intended to be dragged through the cave like
|
|
|
|
|
a tacklesack. We've been using them in China for a few years now, and
|
|
|
|
|
transport them inside tacklesacks; so far they have never let us down.
|
|
|
|
|
The largest size (called 'sink' for some reason) is just right for 24v
|
|
|
|
|
Bosch drills. I reckon that CUCC's Makitas should fit in the medium
|
|
|
|
|
size ('pit').</p> </li>
|
2012-08-31 17:09:22 +01:00
|

|
Wookey's old Nokia for the last half but this has been returned to

|
|
|
|
Wookey ... however, we do still seem to have 2 working handsets)</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Updated emergency callout sheet, laminated, for base and top camp,
|
|
|
|
|
with checked phone numbers for local Austrians and cave locations
|
|
|
|
|
given in standard GPS / multiple coordinates</li>
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<li>Junk BINNED at start of 2013 at base camp and anything not needed
|
|
|
|
|
taken down from top camp at START of expo</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>More blowing tubes for drills</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Safety goggles for top camp</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Expo dinner choices printed out and in Sesh book</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Better system for rubbish - check with Hilde why it isn't
|
|
|
|
|
collected and if necessary dispose of it ourselves every 10 days - a
|
|
|
|
|
rank fly-ridden mess left at end of Expo</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Fewer Beir pages - the blanks are too embarrassing</li>
|
