God I hate the idea of that being your last days... Why do people just purposely wander deep into caves?

Who knows? Some people would crawl up their own colon if they could.

Adventure log day 2: It has become increasingly dark, hot, and humid... And it smells like ass!

I know lots of people who crawl up their own ass

Honestly, they're pretty neat. I've gone through tours of Mammoth Caves that require waivers, and they strongly recommend that you not take that tour if any part of you has a circumference of more than 42", because you won't fit. There was a spot that was about 12" high, and 72-ish wide that you had to crawl through that took a sharp right; you had to take your helmet off to get through. But then you get out into this enormous cavern filled with rock formations that are seen by less 100 people/year.

But if I didn't know that that crack was passable, that I'd be able to get through or get back out again? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no.

Maybe it's because I live in a place with a lot of earthquakes, but I think I'm good off putting my head between rocks that could slightly shift and obliterate me.

But I'm glad you enjoy it!

The Appalachian foothills in Kentucky are pretty geologically dead; there aren't any fault lines anywhere close by. It's about as safe as any cave network can be.

I do recommend going to that are and taking some tours, especially in the middle of summer where you can see the inversion layer where the air goes from being 95F to 60F. Even the fully-accessible tours that don't go through any tight spaces are pretty cool.

I don't mind going inside caves, I just won't be squishing myself into any crevices that require me to take off my safety gear to get through.

Granted, if it shifts your safety gear likely won't do shit but still. I'll stay in the bit of the cave where I can stand, or at least crouch/crawl.

I like snuggling up with a good book
