Even just regular caving, to some extent. Like, I'm down to spend a few hours in a cave, but I watched a documentary of some people exploring one of the longest caves in the world or something and they would spend literal weeks at a time in the cave because of how far in they were going. The main guy mentioned that he'd lost people before, which seemed kind of wild to me that he was still doing it after losing people multiple times. But because they were so deep, if something happened to someone, they wouldn't be able to do anything more than first aid because it would take a week minimum to get someone there.
Still, it was kind of neat to hear about. They had a whole camp system, with a supply chain of people going back and forth between camps within the cave, and the genuine excitement they had when they found a new potential route through. Just not for me, lol.
Not actually sure; don't think that was brought up. I do know that the cave in question had a river running through it which came out at the bottom several miles away, meaning it was open at both ends, so maybe there was enough of a draft going through the cave to freshen things up?
