    "helps maximise my productivity" (and avoid divorce). Noting, I turn around and behind me and there are krabs and ropes all hanging off a (single) skyhook placed on a door frame in the lounge room, and two caving lights still sitting on the bedroom floor in front of the wardrobes not in the basement! Whoops! I had better remove that before my other half appears! Your caving storage "area" is fantastic and reflects your meticulousness and clarity of your video productions, plus editing kills. Thanks for showing, it's great!

The organization is great, looks like that would be a great help with efficient packing for upcoming trips. I need to come up with a hanging wall system for my climbing gear as the way I'm keeping things currently is less than ideal.

    Did u make a review on the AV suit? I reviewed a new one i bought recently but now i noticed after only several underground trips, some of the inner coating is starting to wear.I also think i will modify it and seam seal with urethane wetsuit glue. The outer material though is very abrasion resistant. I know there are diff models available and bought the cheaper one. Normally, in a wet cave if not below 10C in the entrance waters, I'd just wear a surfing steamer over light thermals and good to go or entrance waters close to 4C a 5mm neoprene suit over thermals for >20 hour trips (I get cold LOL).

    Where can one get those side packs? They seem very comfortable and easy to clean, and not as cumbersome as the big european-style kitbags that they use over here. I have only used a military surplus backpack and it's a pain to clean and dry, so I'm looking for an upgrade. By the way, the sewing machine joke was so subtle, I laughed a lot with that one 🤣

      Most cavers have been using Lost Creek Packs, but they don't seem to be producing packs anymore. The Black Hills cavers developed their own version called the "Pahasapa Pack". Recently they've been working with OnRope 1 to have these made again. Check with the Pahasapa Grotto or OnRope 1 if interested... and in case you weren't aware, all off-trail day trips in both Wind and Jewel requires a side pack.
