Not anymore, but used to a bit. A few notable things I picked up.
- You will be covered in mud and dirt, so dont even bother trying to avoid it. Wear the cheapest, shittiest clothes you have because guarantee if they aren't ripped up at least a bit before you are done they will be so coated in mud you wont be able to wear them anywhere else.
- Everyone talks about how the claustrophobia would be the big thing stopping them, but honestly I was way more unnerved by the cave crickets, which are EVERYWHERE. Seriously, dont underestimate the number of bugs on the walls, because pretty much every surface will have a fair smattering of them.
-Cavers are mostly alcoholics and/ or have a bizarre kink of squeezing themselves into the tiniest spaces possible. I remember a cave in Kentucky that had a passage called Bare Bevs, cause the guy who first made it through was only able to squeeze through by stripping completely naked.
Overall though, it wasn't a bad experience. Getting through some stuff at first is really unnerving, but you would be surprised with how quickly you get used to it. It's fun if you go with a couple of good experienced people. Dont go without a couple of light sources though.
