Caving Part III

A few days ago, after 1 month plus doing the caving at Dark Caves
located next to Batu Caves ( 12km from Kuala Lumpur ).
I suddenly ran a refresh on what Mr. Suja Yussoff has said.

In the caves, he told us that whatever sports or hobby we do,
we have to do it with safety precautions + safety comes first
mindset in our head and brain !!

For example, he said caving would be dangerous if no safety
precautions deployed, such as :

1. Be prepared with suitable equipment/ attire.

2. Get a guide or ranger with the team.

3. Tell others people where you want to go before you go.
In that case if you are trapped or get hurt in the caves
or forrest, people will realize that you are missing.

4. Don't act as hero. If need help, have to call for help.

5. Don't destroy the ecosystem.

6. Don't eat/ drink the stuff in the cave.
You have any idea how many bats, snakes, caching, kuchings,
and bugs wash their asses in the stream water?
Go ahead, drink the mineral water !! go a head !!

7. Don't use your torch light / spot light to beam at the animal.

8. Don't eat too much of food before you go caving, why?
===> You will probably stuck like my friend Kai\\\Hong.
===> You will burp a lot of curry / nasi lemak smell.
===> You might feel like want to Pang Sai
===> You might be heavier, hence difficult to climb the rocks.
===> You might just.... puke if you are too tired / exhausted.

9. If you see a white snake in the cave, go around it without
scaring or pissing it off ! You would be fine.
Cause the snake doesn't like you either.

10. If you see a bat with a rocket at his / back, and can fly from
Rome or Italy to Malaysia, tell the cops and National Geographic.

Well, basically, that's what I've learned during the process.

And oh, do not ever, I repeat Do Not Ever Wear your most expensive
and favorites Jeans and T-Shirt and shoes to do caving. Why?
Hmmm... I let you figure it yourself..
