Blog: The Tactics in Cave Exploring

Postby Wayne Harrison » Dec 3, 2007 10:46 am

Many cavers who are experienced in cave exploring get bored and give in to new and stiffer challenges. The next step is to learn new strategies and to adapt new skills to caving. Some of these tactics can include:

Cave Surveying and Mapping – Surveying is assessing a cave, its areas and measurements to be able to make an accurate map of the cave. The purpose is to provide future explorers better knowledge and directions of the cave. This can also be a basis for researchers and scientists.

The actual URL is:

http:// cave-info dot blogspot dot com

The particular post he references is:

http:// cave-info dot blogspot dot com/2007/02/tactics-in-cave-exploring.html

Propeller has nothing to do with that blog, they're simply wrapping it. If you would like to avoid the obscene number of advertisements on that site, and you know what an RSS feed is, you can use the ad-free feed:

Edit: Removed hyperlinks, as this site only exists to generate ad-view money, see post below.

OK, do not click any of those links. They are simply regurgitated content from somewhere else, likely stolen content, and are being posted on multiple blogs and websites, littered with advertisements, to make someone money.

As proof, do a google search for any "unique" phrase from any of those blog posts, and you will find a half-dozen sites with the verbatim content, all of them full of ads.

Example:

I hate people mucking up the Internet with garbage like this. :boxing:

Thanks Jansen and David. It popped up on one my search spiders over the weekend (Topix, I think).
