Wayyyyyy back during the Pleistocene when I was barely a teenager and just getting started at caving, I took the Spelunker Tour at Mammoth Cave. Two girlfriends joined their BFs on the tour. The guide discouraged them from coming in their pantsuits and sandals, but they came and survived. They weren't exactly happy, but they made it.killian wrote:Some of you guys are talking about people wearing sandals when they cave. How ever is doing this must be slow or an extreme hippie. if i ever saw some one wear sandals i would probably smack them in DA BACK OF DA HEAD....
I'm at work again. I have the weekend to finish my last little bits. I'm almost done.ian mckenzie wrote:Get back to your sewing machine Ms. B; you don't have time for this!
And, wait 'till you see MY suit...
Surveyed a little cave in Belize wearing only shorts, sandals and a helmet... we were camped in the entrance so access wasn't an issue. Just goes to show, clothes depend on location...killian wrote:Some of you guys are talking about people wearing sandals when they cave. How ever is doing this must be slow or an extreme hippie.

Theres not a weblink that i know of. Sorry thats not a lot of help but this place is really more of a flea market stall on the side of the road.
