Total newb interested in caving. Never really done much outside of stuff you can walk through. Got a buddy on my airsoft team who's trying to get me to come out more, and it seem like a good way to avoid getting rusty on my rope skills. Call sign comes from my paintball/airsoft life. just trying to learn this stuff.

Welcome to the forum. Having a friend encouraging you to get out is a good way to get more involved in caving. If you guys are not already acquainted with a grotto or group of cavers you may find one near you that you'd like to visit. That might give you a way to meet other cavers in your general area, or look thru the Caving Events Section below and see if there are any caving events in your area. Here is a list of grottos found through out the U.S.

I'm from the DC metro region. I think I have some connections to either the DC or Baltimore grotto, but I'm not sure which yet. I can pretty much hit anyplace that I can take my 9 year old son (sidekick) into.

Mike, The Cave Gear and Speleo Venders Section of the forum has several gear reviews by cavers. The section also list links for many of the caving vendors websites. Hope this helps.
