I’ve been caving (spelunking isn’t really used in the community anymore - too many connotations with dudebro “weekend warrior” types) a few times before and while the idea of it terrifies me and I’d never do it alone, every time was super enjoyable. The time dilation aspect is real though. Spent 18 hours once, felt like maybe 3. And cave naps are where it’s at. Something primordial in our brains
I know I’m picturing this wrong, but I worry I would feel bugs/lizards/rodents constantly crawling over me. Are caves not just bursting with small life?
