Rocking packs, and other practical jokes done by cavers
Posted: Sep 10, 2014 9:26 am
I was curious to see what others on this forum thought about this whole topic of rocking packs. Like many of you, I have been both the victim and the perpetrator of this prank. But with age I am beginning to have less and less appreciation for the humor of it. After recently undergoing hernia surgery, I am wondering about the wisdom of doing such things to our fellow cavers. Some of our fellows may have undisclosed health issues, such as a hernia, that could be seriously aggravated by the addition of a few extra pounds in their pack. Am I just being an old humorless fuddy-duddy, or is this a valid concern? The same goes for other pranks that cavers pull on each other. What do ya'll think?
