You’re indoors in the sense that you’re protected from the weather and the elements, and the cave could even have some kind of covering or entrance area that could be considered a door or doorway. People have built homes in caves.

Is caving an outside, inside activity?

      Some people live in huts or other types of human dwellings that don’t have entry doors. They have doorways.

      When I was visiting the Philippines I saw homes on stilts that did not actually have doors, but I would certainly consider the inside of such a structure to be indoors. Pre-colonial architecture may not use a front door.

      I recognize this isn’t a great argument, but it’s arguable I think in principle.

      Do I have to walk through the door? Can there just be a door at one of the entrances?

      What if I enter a cave through a door installed in a doorway, but there are other entrances that don’t have doors?

      What if you enter the cave through an opening where the door isn’t but I know the cave system has a door at one of the entrances elsewhere?

        If you go in the door you’re indoors but if you don’t you’re outdoor.

        This could lead to a strange situation where you enter the cave through a doorless entrance and leave through an entrance with a door, making the outdoors indoors in the split second before you fade from existence.
