• Sweatpants and shirt to sleep in
  
• Headlamps works best (hands free) or Flashlight (all with good new batteries)
  
• Toiletries/Towel
  
• Travel Clothes: We will wear uniforms when we travel to Eagle Cave and also when we return.
  
• Exploring Clothes: Old clothes for exploring (it is muddy) Two sets of old clothes including; long pants, long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts should be packed.
  
• 2 sets of shoes for inside the cave - lace shoes or boots (one set for caving that can get dirty)

• Couple of large plastic garbage bags to lay over your sleeping bags/blankets. The people sleeping in the cave causes moisture to form and then the condensation will drip onto your sleeping bag at night and during the day.
