What Type Of Food To Bring When Cave Exploring
You might have packed all the equipments in your backpack. But where is your food?
Before you go to your intended cave, you’ve got to know first the temperature inside and outside the cave. Remember that you may not just stay inside the cave. Your group might spend some hours outside the cave in tents. So it is important to know the temperature of the cave’s vicinity.
It’s because the food you bring will not just for the sake of having to eat. The food you will be eating there will provide you the necessary strength and heat that your body needs. In general, the temperature inside the cave isn’t the same outside, of course (that’s common sense). Moist and cold water are factors to make you wet and shiver a little, a more little, and lot more shivering. This means that hypothermia might take place because of the cave’s cold condition.
Hypothermia is the continuous shivering of the body or garbling of the voice. You might get this because of hours-long rolling or crawling in the cold water. Going back to the topic, the nutrients of the food you eat provide sustainable energy for the body.
So what types of food you may bring?
As mentioned earlier, you will be staying inside and outside the cave. You may never determine when you’ll be staying next outside the cave. When troubles occur, staying outside the cave may take place while waiting for the medical support if in case your first-aid medical kit doesn’t suffice. Heavy meals can be cooked or eaten outside the cave. Remember not to bring easily spoiled foods, whether cooked or uncooked, if your group will stay longer inside the cave. Visit the market for canned goods or dried but energy-giving foods. Preferrably those foods that won’t create hassles when you lift your backpacks.
On the other hand, the weight of the food that you bring along with you inside the cave must be considerably light. This way, you reduce the heaviness of your weight and your things especially if you are engaging in a vertical caving. Food supplements in bars and sachets are recommended. There are chocolate bars on the market that give energy to the body. As a rule of thumb, sturdy foods are better. And of course, don’t forget your drinking water. Where else can you find stations of purified drinking water in the middle of a forest?
In most cases, littering inside the cave is prohibited by law. As they say, “Leave nothing but footprints.” So don’t forget to put inside your hip pack a special plastic for caving where you will put your own trash.
Generally, there are no specialized foods for this caving activity. There are recommended foods but they aren’t manufactured for the purpose of cave exploration. Even so, you may ask an experienced caver about the food to bring if you are really meticulous.
Whatever food you bring for cave exploration, keep in mind to buy and bring only energy-rich and energy-giving foods that you need the most for this extraordinary activity coming along your way. There are lots of foods to buy. You just have to ask, find, and buy.
