[Texascavers] Richard "Dick" Blenz

[David]

I know many of you knew Mr. Blenz, and I am pretty sure that his passing
was mentioned
here on CaveTex, back in July.

The link below features a very respectable interview of him ( by caver Matt
Pelsor ):

Here is a picture of Mr. Blenz and I on the patio of the
NSS Headquarters in 2014.

Re: [Texascavers] TSA winter meeting info from facebook post

[Terry Holsinger]

Follow up, another only on facebook announcement post it seems:

"Amy Cantrell Morton shared a link to the group: Texas Speleological 
Association. 6 hrs


There have been a lot of questions about the Government Canyon Project 
this weekend, because many of you are going to attend and stay for the 
meeting, which I love! Here is what Marvin Miller said in a post- 
"Show up by 9:00 Saturday morning to help out with the project. 
Project activities will be happening on Sunday as well. The volunteer 
campground is available. Contact me if you are planning to camp." Here 
is the link to the TSA Government Canyon Project Page- 
https://www.cavetexas.org/projects/gcsna.html


The TSA member's meeting starts at 12 pm on Sundayy and here is the 
link to the previous announcement"

The winter meeting will be held on Sunday, January 6th at 12 PM at 
Government Canyon State Natural Area. The GCSNA Cave Project is going 
on this weekend with lots of objectives, including mapping of new 
shelter caves found recently, a blowing lead in Lost Pothole (vertical 
cave), a dig lead in Dancing Fern Cave and of course, tons of ridge 
walking. Come out for the project, stay for the meeting. This is the 
new nice shelter cave Marvin Miller found last time.

Or get a GoPro helmet mount and adapt it to the carbide. Next time just put 
your GoPro there.

What would be the best way to mount a bracket on a helmet for the weekend - 
strong enough to keep your carbide on but easy enough to reconvert into a plain 
old helmet?

Ideas welcome!

[Texascavers] Caving Ingenuity Required!

[Mallory Mayeux]

Let's say someone had a bracket like this:
https://www.innermountainoutfitters.com/metal-flat-lamp-bracket/

and an old carbide light, and they wanted to go caving with their carbide
lamp - but only for a weekend. After the weekend was over, they'd revert
back to their normal LED headlamp.

What would be the best way to mount a bracket on a helmet for the weekend -
strong enough to keep your carbide on but easy enough to reconvert into a
plain old helmet?

Ideas welcome!
