A 19-year-old Indiana college student contemplated foraging for crickets and licked damp walls for water after getting locked inside a gated cave for nearly 60 hours. Indiana University freshman Lukas Cavar didn’t end up eating the small insects but did use two energy bar wrappers to collect moisture and empty water bottles to collect rainfall and puddled cave water. A high school friend later informed the Caving Club’s president Cavar was missing. Two club leaders immediately returned to the cave late Tuesday after finding a pile of clothing in a vehicle club members used to travel to the cave two days earlier. A message posted by the Caving Club’s president on a website for Indiana University student organizations says the club’s “rigorous protocols” for accounting for members during cave excursions had failed.
