Kk, so my friend called me at work today and we didnt really get a opportunity to talk… and she stated we're going caving (spelunking) tomorrow…. shes going to be here at 8:00 and I’ve no idea what Im suppose to bring and what Im should wear…
I live in Canada, Alberta (if that matters) and I donn.. what to doo…
should I bring a backpack with like water and lunch and stuff..??? what should i wear???? Anything???
Answer:
Backpack, water (cave water is often not too tasty or drinkable)… flexible pants that have good insulation but won't chafe and that you don't mind getting a bit worn (you'll be scuffing rocks and might be wading through ice cold water depending on the cave and the level of spelunking your friend does). Wear a good pair of hiking boots / tennis shoes that meet the same expectations as the pants (but good shoes are a must because they may be put under a lot of stress… I once had a pair fall apart on me). Hiking boots are more best than tennis shoes given the ankle supports / traction.
She should provide you with a light but you should have a backup… backups are a bit important in case… well, do you want to get stuck underground with no way out if her light fails?
You’ll probably want a light jacket that’s easily removable depending on the depth you descend and the level of activity. And you might, of course, just tell her you’re unfamiliar with spelunking and could use a few pointers.

Answer:
Take a powerful flashlight with a good set of batteries and a camera that works in low light if you’ve one. Wear shoes with good support for your ankles if you have some. I might bring a length of rope too.
