<p> - Cave link in pelicase - make sure you have all the bits, know how to use it and have the surface kit set up with someone to use it; do NOT rely on it for comms</p>
<p> - concrete screws and appropriate small drill bit for rigging lines at the camp</p>
<p> - brush to clean mud off SRT gear, bags, etc</p>
<p> - alarms on watches and/or phones - it is very easy to oversleep on underground camps; alarms should be checked as not audible if inside sleeping bags </p>
<H2>Packing list - food, drink</H2>
<p> - main meals - we have used dehydrated expedition meals, try to maximise calories and minimise cooking time</p>

<p> - spare socks and thermals so you have dry clothes to sleep in - I usually sleep in my furry suit etc and keep my caving socks in my pockets in the evening to dry them out</p>
<H2>Setting up and removing camp</H2>
<p> - everything you would normally pack for caving trips on Expo</p></body></html>
<p> - the first team who have to set up camp will take a long time to reach camp (as many bags) then will need hours to set up camp so its best if they pack the night before and set off early </p>
<p> - in Balkonhoehle in 2024 the 3 night pushing camps seemed most productive - ideally these would leave mid-afternoon to get to camp in 4-5 hours, sleep night 1, full day pushing and sleep night 2, full day pushing and sleep night 3, pack up and exit</p>
<p> - the last team who have to remove camp will need to take down plenty of large tacklesacks and, unless many people, they will need the surface derig team to help them to empty camp, ie 2 or more people need to do a bounce trip to camp to take bags out. In 2024, the Balkonhoehle camp had around 11 tacklebags (including Cavelink, 2 drill sets, tent, 5 sleeping bags and mats, multiple Daren drums, ropes, metalware, etc) plus 2 large tacklesacks of rope derigged from Mongol Rally. The ropes on Honeycomb (1 tacklesack) and Hangmans (1 tacklesack) were left rigged in 2024. </p></body></html>
