Caving Gear List

The following is a basic list of items I take with me caving on trips with no vertical caving. I carry these items in a couple of gallon size zip lock freezer bags inside a Northface daypack. Don't let having the proper equipment be mistaken for experience. If you are new to caving ask someone who knows what they are doing to come along. It's also a good idea to let someone know where you are going and when you will be back.

The List

Headlamp(s)*
2 Flashlights*
Candle
Lighter
Garbage bag
Flannel shirt or light jacket

Knee Pads
Lantern/fuel (for caves w/ no crawling)
