============================================
I do,,, and 200' of dynamic line.
As well as all the stuff to get up,, Gibbs, Jumars and knots too.
Depends all on where you are and the situation at hand.

OK... here is the plan then...

Hitndahead... you repel... Jeff and I will be in the boat...

Just in case you fall... don't want you to hit the water.

We will bring a bed mattress for deck of boat... ALL you have to do is hit it if something goes wrong....

OK part 2 of "plan",,,

Hitndahead,,, ONCE you make entry to cave... take the rope that you used to lower yourself to cave with... and tie around treasure...

Lower the treasure to the boat... And will trade for mattress.

Which will float for at least a few minutes. :P
