Summary: Excellent Resource for Novice Cavers!
Comment: Caving Basics is a compellation of essays for the beginning caver. The essays comprise the individual chapters. The book includes useful information on headlamps (carbide and electric), helmets, clothing, packs, caving safety, manuvering through the cave, first aid, cave maps, topo maps, conservation, and the basics of speleology. The book is well organized and layed out in a useful manner. The book also stresses two of the main factors of caving: safety and conservation. Since the book is written in 1992, there are a few subjects where the book is only slightly out of date. The use of shoulder cams is not as common with ropealkers as they used to be, for example. However, novice cavers cannot go wrong in reading this book. With the words in this book and the help of your local grotto, you will learn more than you think you could. The appendix is also useful as it contains legal forms which may be useful, plus the names and adresses of caving equipment vendors.
