Cave Survey Paper has arrived!

[rchrds]

Yea! (not for my wallet.)
The cave diving survey paper that i spoke of in my last class arrived today.
For those not in the know, this is Rite in the Rain DuraRite paper (plastic sheeting) custom printed with an offset format cave survey form, and a box aligned with the station number provided for depth. It is perfect for pencil survey and sketching in underwater cave survey (which it was designed for.) It won't fall apart in the water like regular rite in the rain paper, and the form and grid paper will help you organize your data collection, particularly under adverse gas conditions. (heehee.) The back side of each sheet has a blue in color (wont reproduce on a copier) grid with 10 minor blocks per inch and two major blocks per inch.
It is designed for their smaller 6 ring binders.

It's not cheap, but cheaper than I guessed at. I will part with 7 of the packs for now (a pack is 100 sheets, shrinkwrapped) as I went through 10 packs last year surveying, so I need to have a bunch this year.

If you are interested- $30 a pack plus shipping to wherever you are.
If you want to pay by paypal, add $1.17. I like paypal. It lets me send your paper on Monday.
Drop me a PM or email with your information and we can figure out how to work the payment. I'm not a store, and I'm not making any money on this, so make it easy on me. If i'm caving with you in the next few weeks, just hold on, I'll bring it with me!

The picture of the grid looks crappy, I assure it is much more regular in person.

Are you set up to take PayPal? PM on the way.

Ill take a pack. Ill be away from the comp until Sunday night, I'll send you money then.
That stuff sounds great.

Good job Jason! I can't tell you how many times I've gotten back from a dive and thought "Wait... which distance goes with which station?" The offset design is great.

Now if only I could get back to cave country to use it...

I can't take credit for the whole design, just the depth part, but wait until you see the material in action- it is the best thing since sliced bread for underwater survey.

...uh, no that sliced bread is good for underwater survey. Whatever.

Not everyone knows your email

I have something similar, works great. This stuff looks pretty good, I like the durawrite too.

Maybe I'm just spacing it, but why are there 2 boxes for azimuth between stations? Do you record both directions to ensure there's not a bend?

[rchrds]

Dang, sorry for the lack of response, I don't always get a note that someone posted- You are correct, the azimuth boxes are split for front and back azimuth, should you have the time and inclination. (or azimuth, haha.) Sorry. bad survey joke.

I thought it was a good survey joke. LOL!

Didn't you say in May you were getting a giant package? Can we buy that stuff from you now?

Format looks great. Just a thought here, but Kinkos or any printer could coil bind the 100 sheets for a couple of bucks so it could slip in the Dive Rite or Halcyon wet notes cover.
