Very cool Logan! I spent some time with Jacques Chabert at the Vercor Speleo film festival in France in the 1980s, then corresponded with him a bit in 2008. And, of course, caught up with Michel Siffre at the ICS in 2009. On 8/29/14, 10:58 PM, Logan McNatt via Texascavers

David, If you are paying even $100 a month for your storage unit (which is a really good price), then you are paying $1200 a year. So the cost of the unit is more than what you say the contents are worth. In 50 years you will have paid over $60,000. That is just poor economics. Jim On Sat,
