icon Limestone Cave


I say "go buy a bag and start putting some survival gear in it " the rest will fall into place. If you can not purchase the land at least check out some spot in a National Park or elsewhere, ideally with some limestone caves nearby. Why?

Listen to a cave guide some time as he tells you how the stalactites are one hundred thousand years old - certainly more than 3600 years old and guess what? They are still in place with not a mark to show. I recently toured in the cave near my site and one guide told me she was actually doing a tour when the big Newcastle quake struck in 1989 and they did not feel a thing. It turns out that limestone is a flexible soft rock not affected by most Earthquakes, hence why they have survived for 100's of thousands of years! Think about it!

Buy a trailer to load your gear (don't tell me you can not afford a trailer or I would say go sell your computer!) the only thing then left to do is get your timing right, i.e. when to go. Even those of us who "own" a site still have to get there on time!
