Quite simply because a better, lighter, more cave friendly, *inexpensive* alternative exists in the form of the Darren Drum. Ammo cans are just gert big lumpy heavy things to try and drag through caves. Its not just the convservation aspect - you have your knees to consider!!, they are just bloody awkward things.
Why recommend a newbie go and spend a fiver on one of them - when they can spend a fiver on a darren drum.
OK - £7.99.
(They) do the job
Rope ladders 'did the job' but we dont use them anymore.
lets face it some of the best (IMHO) under ground pics were taken with some very expensive hardware trusted to them!
The quality of the photos has nothing to do with the method of carrying the camera.
