Despite every caver insisting on a good supply of torches and candles, they all end up feeling the ground in the dark eventually.
Those who know their environment have a knack for crawling efficiently, feeling the surroundings through their fingertips and beards, and remembering every passage they took in the light simply through the sounds of their own breathing echoing uniquely in every cavern-segment.

-Caving includes navigation, foraging, building basic structures, and some understanding of the typical plants and beast found within caves.
+Navigation, foraging, building basic structures, and plants, all need to be relearned ten steps into a cave.
