With Christmas fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about what you’d like Santa to bring you. That is, if you’ve been good.
So cavers, what exciting toys do you hope to find under the tree this holiday season?
Tell us your lists in the comments below.
Last Week’s Ask Caver Results
We got quite a wide gamut of responses to last week’s question, what are your caving traditions. As we anticipated, ice cream was in the list. Other traditions included, mexican food, beer and Atomic Fireballs.
Reader Christopher Sowerby was quite happy to just thank God each time he made it out alive.
Thanks for all the responses!

My old Bomber knee pads were finally eaten by the sharp marble this autumn. I need new knee pads. Sadly, Bomber hasn’t made knee pads in several years.
I’d like a Kong chest and hand ascender to pack on trips that require vertical work well within the cave.
I would like to visit V.Axess – The Petzl institute.
I would like to see the DNRs finally realizing that cavers are not spreading WNS, bats are. And until we can get bats to deccon between caves, it will continue. So please open the caves!

I suspect nearly every North American caver has wanted that for a few Christmases now.
