Revision as of 19:55, 18 May 2008
On the 18th May at the tackle store clearing sessions we counted:
- 16 tackle sacks in usable condition
- 25 slings
- 24 deviation hangers with deviation cord
- 28 karabiners
- 208 hangers with maillons
- 21 clown hangers
- 2 hangers without maillons
- 8 hangers without bolts or maillons
- 13 ring hangers without bolts (they need a different type of bolt apparently)
We also found some bolts, but no o rings. See Expo 2008/Survey Equipment for a list of surveying equipment that we found. Kathryn 19:43, 18 May 2008 (BST)
Suggested gear to buy this year
Here's the list of items people have suggested that we should buy for this year (from the meeting we had a few weeks ago, and suggestions made over the past few weeks):
- Expo GPS - a GPS that would live at top camp for anyone to use
- Walkie-talkies - for shaft bashing/rescue I guess
- Expo video camera - for filming the documentary
- Food boxes - to keep squirrels + mice at bay. Hammocks don't protect against squirrels and it's not very easy to see/access the contents of the large darren drums.
- Extra gas bottle - not sure how much gas we use, but another bottle could be useful
- New phones - essential - to replace old unintuitive phones that no-ne knows how to use
- Extra tarps - I think it would be good to wind proof the bivi. It would make it much warmer if we had a tarp covering the entrance/back.
- New lead-acid battery - to supplement the current one. The solar panels we have are quite powerful, and I doubt we're collecting all the energy they produce during the day. For ease of carrying it might be easier to get two smaller batteries than one monster large one.
- Distos - We already have one disto, but more could be useful. I think one per pony would be a good number to have.
