I would certainly like to tag along on this trip. i would probably have to turn around at the first tight spot....too big around the middle. but i could go for help if need be
i had the opportunity ONCE to do some wild caving in colorado. i wont name the cave as it is on private property and is still being explored and surveyed.
fortunately i was invited to join in on a work-day at the cave, and was guided in, step by step by members of the local professional cave-rescue team. so i was in good hands. what i learned:
-take 3 sources of light.
-dont take real cameras in a cave, it is too hazardous to the camera. take some disposable cameras instead.
-wear hard clothing, such as jeans, carhartt, etc. the clothing takes a lot of abuse.
- bring an extra set of clothes to put on when you are done.
-hard hat is a good idea too. i went to home depot and bought one for $7
-also, knees pads are the best idea of all.
- and i learned to put all the gear you take into the cave in a drawstring bag, preferably waterproof, and push it ahead of you as you go.
there it is. ALL i know about caving
