to settle on a particular combination of colours of electrical insulation tape, and label <em>absolutely everything</em> you own with the stuff. The table above shows combinations already taken. For other CUCC colour combinations already in use see <a href="https://camcaving.uk/Gear/Tape/">CUCC current colours</a> and, if you are really keen on being unique, also check out <a href="https://camcaving.uk/Documents/Legacy/Gear%20Tape%20Colours%20-%20Cambridge%20University%20Caving%20Club.htm">older cavers' gear colours</a>. <figure align=right class="onright"> <a href="i/geartapebag.jpg"><img border=1 src="i/geartapebag.jpg" width="100px"></a> <br><figcaption>Personal gear-tape bag</figcaption> </figure> <p> Tape <em>everything</em>, not just your caving gear; while one karabiner looks much like another, it's equally true that one karrimat looks much like another. And one pack of cheese looks much like another (un-taped cheese is expo common property - beware). And especially your Decathalon rucksac, phone, phone cable, charger, charger-cable, laptop, mouse, mug/plate/cutlery - essentially anything you want to be reasonably sure to get back.</p> <p>P.S. It is even worth gear-taping the bag holding your gear-tape: <hr /> <p>Geartape lists for CUCC and previous expo years: <a href="https://camcaving.uk/Documents/Legacy/Gear%20Tape%20Colours%20-%20Cambridge%20University%20Caving%20Club.htm">CUCC</a>, <a href="geartape2019.html">2019</a>, <a href="geartape2018.html">2018</a>, <a href="geartape2018.html">2022</a>. <p> <hr /> <h1>Zac</h1> Woodford would also like for it to be known that he has tough-tagged some of his equipment and written his initials "<b>Z W</b> somewhere on other pieces. <hr /></body> </html>
