What about spent nuclear fuel? Might keep the streets clear of snow

I used to break F91 straps but so I just have a F-91W on a NATO strap. They do stain easily like Ari says but they are washable and I kinda like carrying a bit of cave dust about

Do you have a particular project in mind? I tried to get a sig off the ground but it's really hard unless you have a focused project everyone is working towards - else wise it's just disparate individuals chatting, which they can do anywhere With volunteer resource for the BCA and other caving...

I look forward to another horrible hole that I will hate

We have popped a logbook in the last chamber at the southern end of Draenen. It's not the end of course - there's a dig for the true collector 😜 Tarquin describes the trip to that end as one for the serious prospector or insane masochist so we thought a log book might be fun - salutations to...

🤣🤣🤣 2005 called - it's wants it's online conspiracy forum opinions back There is an irony here in throwing around the word "fanatic"

Trump was right. It's a conspiracy to use up all the wind!

Incredibly silly. Love it.

Have you tried tasting one? That is a foundational skill of a good biologist. You'll then know whether they taste like mushrooms, gnats or snot.

Wellies seems a commons theme. Forgot any footwear for a 3 day cave camp - ended up using my mates trainers, which I destroyed.
