Helpful Tips If You Get Trapped In A Cave

Yesterday, there was an incident where 30 film crews from Singapore got trapped in Tempurung Cave in Malaysia. This situation reminds us of Tham Luang Cave Rescue, which has been adapted into a popular series on Netflix — Thai Cave Rescue. It must have been a gruesome experience for the victims. 

Obstacles come uninvited. Therefore, one must always be prepared if something horrifying like this happens.

According to John Hudson, being trapped in a cave sometime can be a life-and-death situation. Hudson is a survival instructor, broadcaster, writer, public speaker, and training consultant. He was the one who created the UK Military’s survival manual. 

Let’s go through some tips from Hudson in case something like this befalls us.

  • There is always a risk when going to a cave. Therefore, make sure to let someone know where you are heading. Besides that, inform the expected time you are going to be back.
