I know Im going to get stoned to death for this one, so let me be the first to say,, I understand they do this in hollywood movies, I also know you could scar the rocks damaging the cave and going against everything a caver belives in.I also am aware that the smell would be bad..etc etc, in tight passages.Now that all thats aside, I did try to search for info on the boards about them first and couldnt find a thread informative enough.Even google returned little results other than countless discussions about "The Descent".
Now, my question is,, would it be acceptable to use in a LARGE High ceiling cavern for the purpose of Photography, if you didnt hold the flare to the rocks.. had enough space to negate the fumes, and carried the spent flar out with you after?Also is flare smoke toxic?Has anyone here EVER? used a flare in a cave for ANYTHING.?
