Who carries two spare lights, plus batteries - I suppose it is an American caver...

Me, albeit the second spare light (and batteries!) isn't for me...

No packed lunch so cant be a UK caver.

Or as some wit observed: 'I always have two spare lights ? the guy's in front and the guy's behind'.

I like this definition:

Spare Light: A receptacle for exhausted batteries.

Diana Northup (US cave bacteriologist): Q: To you, what is a caver?
A: ?Crazy. The people that I?ve know over the years tend to be somewhat eccentric. They call themselves cavers, not spelunkers ? it?s almost a reverse snobbism. The cavers that I know tend to be earthy people, although there are a few sophisticates, but they tend to wear older clothes and somewhat crude. And they just enjoy something like caves.

Ms Northup is missing something here...

It depends what generation you are from, it's meaning has become a lot more derogatory recently.

Given your persistant attitude to killing off the pursuit, I'd say he nailed it.
