- ideally, leave time on the surface for the exiting camping team to give info to the next team

- stove with pre-heat coil to avoid super-slow cooking due to gas burning too cold

- list *everything* left both at the camp and elsewhere (eg drills, rope, etc left further in the cave) and once out of the cave share this list eg put a photo of it on Signal

+

- PLaminated cave surveys and rigging guides prepared before Expo starts to highlight the best QMs

What NOT to do

- overpack food ... each of the 2024 Balkon camps took in more food than they ate leading to the camp derig including a 15kg tackle bag of food that, exhaustingly, had to be dragged back out. To help with this, a) try to give time between camps so food can be adjusted based on what is already in, b) check with camp-goers if they are taking personal food so the group food can be reduced accordingly

- Pack the kitchen sink - think minimal eg if you think you will use 2 18650 batteries then pack 2 spare, not 4

Packing list - water, sleeping, poos

- Daren drums for water collection (for Balkonhoehle; not needed in Fischgesicht) - 1 big, 1 small is ideal, camp First aid kit can go down in small then be moved to a bag

- Daren drums for poo collection plus toilet roll, hand sanitiser and compost bags; each camping trip brings their drum out so every trip needs to take a poo drum down

+

- Camp notebook for writing lists and leaving a note of where you are going on pushing days

+

- Laminated cave surveys with leads highlighted; ideally update these during expo

Packing list - food, drink

-

- Main meals - we have used dehydrated expedition meals, try to maximise calories and minimise cooking time
