 If an expedition will only happen once, low-tech methods are usually adequate to record 
 information. Any events that need to be recorded can go in a logbook. Survey notes must be 
 turned into finished cave sketches, without undue concern for the future expansion of those sketches.

-or even useful recipes for locally available food. The more of this information the expedition 
-wishes to keep, the more valuable an effective and user-friendly system of data management.
