| | | My gear setup is focused on mine exploring, so I carry a lot of climbing and underground gear. A sturdy backpack is important since it gets thrown around, pushed through squeezes, and sometimes lowered or pulled up shafts. Other bits include a whistle for signaling when we are beyond voice range, a compass, small first aid kit, food and water. Of course there is always a camera and sometimes a tripod. I carry an assisted opening knife in my right hand pocket. I want to be able to use it if I get clothing or hair fouled while on rope. I always wear gloves underground both for rope work and because I'm clumsy. Climbing gear is a harness, rappelling rack, a hand ascender, Croll, cow's tails, foot loop, foot ascender, carabiners, slings, and a length of hand-line. We split up the ropes depending on how many of us are going and the complexity of the mine. At a minimum we carry 150' and often as much as 400'. I think the most we ever put down a mine was 900'. I carry a number of lights with one mounted to my helmet, one in my pocket, and at least one backup in my bag. I'll probably go back to having two mounted on my helmet in case one goes out while on rope. Of course I always carry extra batteries for every light. We do carry a lot of gear and weight is always an issue when you have to climb up long ladders or do a long rope climb. I've tried to slim down my gear but there really isn't much more than I can eliminate. Abby Normal

| | | I bring the following to every explore: My backpack (one of those tactical style so I can add/remove extra pouches and stuff as needed). In my bag is: -flashlight -batteries -safety glasses -gloves (good heavy duty work gloves) -small first aid kit (some Band-Aids, gauze, medical tape, alcohol pads) -water bottle -small snack (usually just a granola bar or a small bag of cheezits) -extra chargers/cables to use in the car -roll of toilet paper (mostly for blowing my nose as needed, I've got pretty bad allergies). -hand sanitizer -fire starters (will explain below) -notebook/pen -asthma inhaler -Tylenol -electrical tape -zip ties Other things I'll bring, which of course vary upon location: -respirator -change of clothes (if I know I'll get wet or muddy) -hard hat (some places I just feel more comfortable wearing one as a safety precaution) Things I plan to add/improve -high power glow sticks, in case I'm ever without my flashlight -head lamp, to free up a hand -upgrade first aid kit a little -gas meter -a couple MREs -bug repellent On my person I carry: -phone (duh, since it doubles as my camera) -wallet (again, duh) -pack of smokes/lighter (for smoking, and as a "peace offering" if I ever encounter an angry bum/squatter -extra cash in case of an emergency (NOT a lot, usually just like $30) -Folding knife (as a tool; it's not meant to be a weapon unless absolutely necessary) Now, to explain the fire starters: I am by no means an arsonist, pyromaniac or anything of the sort. I think with a survival mentality (which should be obvious given most of what I carry), and if I'm ever in a situation where I'm trapped somewhere for any reason for an extended period, I want to make sure I can have a fire and keep warm. Now, I know it doesn't necessarily count as "gear" but as far as attire goes, I wear jeans or cargo pants, steel toed boots, a long sleeve shirt or hoodie (depending on the weather maybe my Carhartt jacket as well), a hat and sunglasses.
