Despite the risks, searching or exploring caves is very much in demand by young people, especially for those with a spirit of repetition. Anything can happen inside the cave. Because the risk is high, here are some things you need to consider when walking through the cave:

Prepare well before entering the cave

Explore the cave is basically dangerous, but you can reduce the risk by learning the right caving techniques, bring the right equipment, and know how to use your technique. Especially if you are just the first time down the cave, do not ever enter without guidance of experienced people, and do not ever menjejalahi cave alone. Always make sure you tell your plan and when you'll be back. So they can tell the savior if you do not come back.

Prepare synthetic clothing

Bring non-cotton warm clothes, such as polypro or polyester. Also bring a plastic bag or emergency blanket. Make sure all layers of clothing, including underwear and socks are made of synthetic fabrics. Because the cotton absorbs and holds more water than synthetic fibers. Cotton will also make your body cool faster.

Mark your path

Mark the driveways and exits at all intersections so you do not get lost. Use rocks to make arrows point in the direction you came and note the historic places you passed.

Keep calm

If you get lost, get hurt or get stuck, do not panic. Try thinking calmly how to get out of the situation. Tranquility also makes the Thai children and their coaches survive for weeks in the cave. They try to control their emotions by doing meditation.

Do not separate

Be sure to stay together if you are in a group. Hold hands if you have to move in the dark and do not let anyone lag.

Warm and dry

Air two is often cold and damp. And one of the most obvious dangers is hypertemia. Therefore always bring non-cotton warm clothes. If the cave is flooded or you have to cross the river, take off your clothes to keep them dry, then dry off first before wearing the clothes back. If your clothes are wet and have no replacement, wring out the clothes thoroughly and put on your clothes so your body heat can dry them. Being near the group will make your body warmer. Minimize contact with cold soil and try to keep moving, but avoid sweat.

Save light

Turn off the flashlight when you are not moving. Form a chain of people then turn on only one flashlight. If you are using headlamp, use the lowest setting

 Stay near the light

The cave is a dangerous and unpredictable environment and the risk of haemorrhagic injury. Make sure you stay in a bright environment. Stay there until help arrives.
