buffalo2 14 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Our Venture Crew is heading out on a more serious caving trip soon; no vertical work but spending long hours underground and things like pee bottles (guess we can say that)are sort of new to us. While our guides appear to be top-notch, we've all got questions. Anyone have ideas to share? Link to post Share on other sites
fboisseau 10 Posted March 5, 2003 Share Posted March 5, 2003 Having never been on a real caving trip, the only suggestion I have is to not TOUCH any of the formation. Link to post Share on other sites
le Voyageur 72 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Since your guide will see that you'll have the basic safety gear, suggest the wearing of a lightweight set of long johns (non cotton), and a fleece vest under one's coveralls for additional warmth....if you're doing wet sections consider using a drybag, they tend to hang up less and can be pushed through squeeze passages easier than a backpack. For additional safety consider carrying a few cyalumes...... Link to post Share on other sites
le Voyageur 72 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 an additional note... since you've brought up the subject of pee bottles, a few more thoughts on this subject. Consider sealable tupperware containers for packing out fecal matter. Adding a bit of cat litter will help alot. If your crew is coed, look in the Campmor catalog for an item called a Lady J (item no. 80976), or the Travel John (item no. 80666)... Link to post Share on other sites
