Comments : You have no idea how many Octopuses I have trained that could not withstand the impact of hitting the roof when fired from my converted propane pumpkin gun. The smell of scorched seafood, and the splatter of parts, detracted from the enjoyment of a seven foot flame illuminating the faces of other (unsuspecting) groups sharing the cave. Then the ropes never held either. This is clearly the superior anchor system but is it safe to use a bow, or can I convert the plunger to fire with the new NPCL (Napalm/Phosphorus Cave Lighter)load? Mayu Bendsolow who worked on the depleted uranium anchor/50 caliber project said " we haven't seen this kind of excitement in caving since we tested our tripod mounted 300 round per second anchor system in the Carlsbad Caverns during the Sierra Club visit" He assured me your results should match or exceed his, and I quote "both Leavenworth and San Quintan have been like spending the rest of your life in a cave". Here's hoping it works for you. Great job on the site too!

Comments : In-depth cave rescue studies beneath the Mendip Hills, Somerset, England have shown the plunger/bare buttock technique to be infinitely preferable to the conventional corkscrew/orifice version, particularly in body sized phreatic tubes. Works on boobs and bald heads too! It also saves on vaseline

Comments : Eee, when I were a lad back at t'Yorkshire moors, we'd have a fair few ales AFOR we went underground. And we'd get down reet quick. And maybe we'd struggle a bit on the upward journey, that is, unless we used our natural suckers to uplift us. Eye, natural suckers are much preferable to those overpriced Petzly type ones anyday. Think again, oh techno cavers ;-)

Comments : In West Virginia we discovered a novel means of negotiating steep, slippery mud slopes. Take two large dog turds and mold them into balls. Then, while holding one in each hand, smartly slap the mud slope. Voila! Instant hand hold! After a little trial and error you'll learn to recognize which types of turds stick well but release easily.

Comments : Will you R.A.T.S. be at the NSS Convention? Where? Will you have a techniques workshop? New advances in S.U.C.S.? I'm psyched! I'm from the Dayton (OH) Underground Grotto and am a member of the Leisure Section; we posted about a year ago to congratulate you for your achievments. You never responded to our question, so here it is again: Does the train have sleeper cars? I'm moving to the Seattle area later this summer, so maybe I can visit you and ride the train, OK? Look me up at Convention; I'm leaving a note on the campground bulletin board for some other folks; camping with DUG; playing (keyboards) with the band at the Wednesday night campground party. Please teach me to launch plungers! I'll have my own plunger with me!

Comments : Hey, what a great idea. I have been using SUCS to clear sinks and sumps to extend passages. I couldn't get a patent on the idea as it too closely meets with intent. (I think the word sink did me in!) Look for our coloidal plutonium dye tracing markers in the near future, it lights up the passage and creates new and interesting creatures too! Peace Ahabonook

Comments : This system SUCS! You need to miniaturize; when are you coming out with Realised Ultimate Reality Plungers (RURPs)? When will we see bulky ropes replaced with woven spider thread? As for your Bottomless Pit map; just display it with any Microsoft product, and you'll get an endlessly scrolling map! Keep up the innovative work!

Comments : Excellent! This new technology has a great application for caving self rescue. The plungers can be used as part of a traction splint system or could be tied together to form a litter. They can also be used to prod (oops - encourage) reluctant patients to self rescue. The sucker technology will be great for confined space rescue - just slam a sucker onto the patient's helmet and YANK them out of the hole! If all else fails the sucker section can be used to muffle the screams of the patient as you try to avoid an agency resuce by dragging them out of the cave! This is clearly superior to the current bolt technology, which has no medical use whatever. I'm going to write this into our curriculm immediately.
