2022年10月2日 · Caving, climbing, biking, and hiking all use specialized equipment to ensure safety and easy of travel. You would never bike without a helmet and of course the bike. You wouldn't hike without boots and a backpack with water.. You wouldn't climb without safety gear and ropes. Same with caving.

Many caves in the US have become sites where people dump garbage. Many caves are subject to vandalism.
