Hurricane Cave is a beginner horizontal cave. This is a wet cave with plenty of crawling so knee pads and warm clothes recommended. The trip meets at the campout campsite at 10:00am Eastern.

If you have questions about this trip contact the trip leader, Maverick Moore. Below is a quick list for new cavers of what to bring.


What To Wear & Bring

  • Try to wear fast drying clothes. Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon work best.
    Bear in mind that caves frequently destroy the clothing you take into them.
    • Long pants
    • Shirt - long or short sleeve
    • A light, packable jacket is recommended.
  • Gear
    • Good sturdy boots or shoes.
      • Plastic or waterproof shoes are a bad idea. They will only hold water and keep your feet wet.
    • A helmet with mounted light and new/fresh batteries.
    • Extra batteries for each light source protected by a water-resistant container
    • Knee pads
    • Elbow pads are optional.
    • Gloves - they don't just protect you from the cave, they protect the cave from YOU.
  • Cave Pack
    • Snacks-- protein bars pack well. Put snacks in Ziploc bags to protect from getting wet.
    • Water (32oz) recommended.      
  • A large plastic bag to put your dirty wet clothes and boots in.
  • Clean Clothes for the ride home
