Expo Personal Gear List

- -

First time on Expo: What should I take? Read on... No apologies are made for -the simplistic approach, and no responsibility is accepted for errors or -omissions ;-) Make sure you have at least the Essentials; consider taking the -Extras for a more pleasant time, but don't fret if you can't get them. The -Excessive sections are for the gearists...

-

Lightweight stuff is good so as it makes carrying all your caving and camping -gear to top camp significantly less epic/tedious. Two of everything -(pit, karrimat, utensils, clothes) reduces the amount of stuff you have -to keep carrying up and down the mountain.

Gear-tape - labelling

-

It is almost essential (for caving generally, but particularly for Expo) to settle -on a particular combination of colours of electrical insulation tape, and label -absolutely everything you own with the stuff. To see which combinations are -available, have a look those already used at recent gear tape colours. - -

Tape -everything, not just your caving gear; while one karabiner looks much -like another, it's equally true that one karrimat looks much like -another. And especially your phone, phone cable, charger, charger-cable, laptop, mouse, mug/plate/cutlery - -essentially anything you want to be reasonably sure to get back.

Clothes

- -

Expo can be hot, cold, wet or dry, or (more usually) all of -these in rapid succession and combination! It can be really chilly -(snowing!) in the bivi.
