You will need to change out of your caving clothes especially if they are wet. or COVERALLS sturdy gloves, shoes or preferably boots that can get muddy and washed off later. You need a decent sole on them to grip if there is mud. a flashlight that will be a second source of light after your helmet light. Extra batteries for your flashlight. dO NOT BRING LARGE FLASHLIGHTS =SMALLER IS PREFERRED
A LARGE TRASHBAG THAT IS THICKER THAN THE THIN GARBAGE BAG VARIETY TO PUT IN YOUR MUDDY CLOTHES AND BOOTS SINCE THE PEOPLE DRIVING PREFER TO KEEP THEIR CARS CLEAN A SMALL PACK OR BACKPACK THAT CAN BE EASILY TAKEN ON AND OFF (IN A CRAWL WAY THAT IS NARROW THIS MAY BECOME VERY USEFUL), FOOD, WATER IN SOME TYPE OF CONTAINER WE WILL PROVIDE HELMETS FROM RASS AND LIGHTS. WE WILL SEND OUT A PERMISSION SLIP VIA THIS MEDIUM AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT FOOD SHOULD NOT BE SOMETHING THAT GETS EASILY BRUISED OR DAMAGED-ACTUALLY YOU WILL EAT IN THE CAR BEFORE GOING IN Here's a site for first-time cavers: http://orgs.jmu.edu/caving/first_time_caver.html |
