I think we are well equiped. First trip this weekend to northern CA lava tubes!!!!

One thing I have learned over the years is, if you want a new or newish caver to go caving with you again (spouse, girlfriend, kids, etc), give them the biggest, brightest light you have. If they can't see, they will have a bad time.

Your family seems well equipped. Have a great trip!

And the boys will need a lot of light in those light-sucking, darker-than-dark lava tubes! I've often run my primary and secondary at the same time in larger walking passages.

Have fun! Report back and post photos.

Just north of the park, along Hat Creek Rim.... It was fun meeting and caving with you guys in person

A great time! The caving was great and the company was even better.

Will have a lighting report later.
