    Default Stage/Multi-Stage DPV Course: Hitting the Wall

    I just wrote an account of my Stage/Multi-Stage DPV Cave course with Steve Bogaerts that I took in October. I got in a little over my head on the last day of the course and learned a boat load about myself. It really rocked my boat and I am grateful for the experience.

    You need to use an N-19 often, or the batteries will go bad. Don't ask me how I know this

    Thanks for the heads up! I got the Watts Up meter and the burn tester. I have been cycling it once a week, if I don't actually use it. Hopefully, I can start to use it more then I cycle it on the burn tester.

    Great report...
