We were the first people to the bottom of this cave. And the last.

Be careful 🙏🏾
i got access to some cave in Quebec, the longuest one also and many uncharted area. interested?
I'm definitely excited to see what you're alluding to in your next video! Any idea what it will be called so I can keep an eye out for it? The notification system is extremely unreliable and I really don't want to miss it!
Why don't you just subscribe and then check your subscriptions a few times a day? That's what I do, I don't get any notifications on any videos when I have them all turned on which is crazy that's been like this for years now UA-cam is junk.
this content is legendary
Ah yes I haven’t had a good panic attack in a while, thanks for the upload! My claustrophobia is excited.
Wish me luck im about to watch it myself and have one lol
Seriously I am also having a panic disorder and these kind of vids just feel good.
I had to swap from full-screen to cinema to prevent being too immersed lol.
I can honestly say that I follow more than I should of these channels about cave diving, cave exploration, cave mapping, etc. By FAR THIS GUY IS THE MOST EXTREME, TAKES INSANE RISKS ALL TO BRING US ALL A GREAT VIDEO OF A BEAUTIFUL CAVE!!! This channel NEVER FAILS to totally and completely amaze me by the situations they have been in!!! And Jacob is AMAZING!!! GREAT WORK SHOWING HIM THE FAMILY ACTIVITY THAT Y'ALL LOVE AND ENJOY!!!
im not really claustrophobic but this video did it for sure LOL!
The exploration footage is incredibly immersive, and the commentary adds so much depth. You've set a new standard for cave exploration videos.
That's very kind of you to say
I'm just glad that you've updated again after 2 months.
They have an another account, the name is Even Darker. They post more on there.
I hope they survived the exploration. I have a feeling they didn't make it bro 😮😮😮😮
@@giuseppemartino9783unless you’re being sarcastic I have something to tell you
How the hell would they upload it.
@@Whiteman2.0😂😂
Respect to Jacob for keeping calm under pressure & comforting their friend during that incredibly difficult situation
Your videos make me want to take all of my anxiety pills, but I can't stop watching!
Right lol
Here, I'll share mine with you 😅
Don't take them all at once. Space them out over a lifetime.
Same!!!!😂
Is everyone on anxiety pills.
There is NOTHING in there but more rocks
You’ve been there?
@@billsanders9387There's no need to go there because if you think about it using logic you can already see that there are only rocks and dirt there
They experience something you can't see, I guess. It's something you feel, and that's why they do it. Can never be me though
It's crazy I feel like I've watched Jacob grow up dramatically in just the last couple years watching y'all's videos keep it up! Awesome content.
We tried to stop feeding Jacob, but as you can see, we failed!
@@billsanders9387 🤣
and his voice has gotten deeper too lol
@@AboveDaInflueceits most likely all the testosterone from his MASSIVE BALLS! 🤣🤣 lol no disrespect just super entranced by his fearless bravery, strength and skills!
Wow, that collapse is scary. I’m very impressed you and Jacob kept your cool and worked out an escape plan from both sides. But I guess that’s one of the most important skills to have if you’re going to crawl through tight caves.
I’m always amazed that you do it with all the filming gear. It was pretty funny to hear the cup falling down the crack. 😂
Thanks for sharing the adventure!
Fortunately, we plan ahead for these possible problems. It’s part of the challenge.
@@billsanders9387 Definitely wise! It’s pretty important to have those things already in your head, because adrenaline makes it difficult to make conscious decisions. It’s an immediate reaction boost. If it has a predetermined plan to draw from, then you’re much better off.
Were you there when the collapse happened, Sir Cavepops?
I'm at work so I can't watch this until later, but really looking forward to it. Also looking forward to helping break the internet when your next video comes out. Love you guys!!!! 😊😊
I appreciate that you remembered that. I don't think this videos particularly scary even though it's a very dangerous cave and somebody did get hurt.
But the next video is just awful. We are just dragging garry to his death.
Wow you guys have balls of steel ..yall are the truth not many people can mentally handle these types of situations and yall do it for sport. Amazing. It is good to know that if people get stuck in these types of places for whatever reason, there are people out there with the balls who will go in and save lives. Thank yall for the work you put in to bring us this content 👌
We have done some rescue, but generally we cave so far from the beaten path that we rarely see people. If we do, they are lost.
Watching John Malkovich cave dice is not something i expected to be binging on youtube, yet here i am.
Come along. We’ll keep you entertained.
Out of ALL your vids- this one makes me feel the BEST about y’all getting stuck- looks like A LOT of rock could be moved around to make the tunnels bigger … Another GREAT video, fellas!
When the rocks start moving, so do we. Thanks for the great comments.
That's fine and dandy for the big rocks, but what about the small ones, and the sand?
@@kewlztertc5386 just move it around- that’s what I ALWAYS look for in these caving videos - is there enough area to move stuff around/IF there is anything to move around to make the tunnels bigger … in this one it looked like there was plenty of room to move stuff around… consider you have someone else w you- I don’t think you’d be stuck for long in this one, even though it looks rough… I’m still NOT going in lol but this one looks a lil better than most
This channel keeps me safe in caves because after watching these videos, there is absolutely no chance I'm going in one...🤣
You guys are just crazy. Watching this even before the incident was terrifying and i think my claustrophobia may have doubled for a moment.
But... i am very glad everyone made it out of there and that cave part isn't accessible anymore.
Take care and keep staying alive. :)
Great comment. A little luck goes a long way in everything.
Glad to see a new video! I'm always amazed and admire how brave you all are! Wish I had the guts to do this sort of thing! After watching for years, it's awesome to see how confident and brave Jacob has become as a young man and cave diver! Stay blessed and stay safe!
Jacob needs to stop growing or we’ll lock him in a cave. 🤪
hahaha! @@billsanders9387
Man glad Jacob stayed calm and they worked together to get safely out
Jacob is totally chill.
I've been following you guys for a while and each time its because I watch a lot of caving videos, 2years ago i watched these videos and thought i would never be able to do it simply because of claustrophobia, but ive come to a conclusion that i want to try an amateur cave and maybe i will find a video, you guys make the caving so much more interesting with the commentary and how you make and edit the videos, great work hope you guys enjoy this hobby forever. Much love from Norway
You have so many amazing caves in Norway. Find a Grotto or caving club near you. Good luck.
I can’t even handle a MRI when I’m in the machine up to my chest. I somehow can’t get enough of your content
You’ll never recover from our mri
We appreciate the effort you put into taking us on your adventures. From the (lost) cameras to the lighting to the editing. So few people even really experience these places... Really a great channel.
Kind words. We wish making videos was as much fun as caving!
So glad that everyone is okay...there is always that risk. You just never know. Jacob proved himself very successful in this situation. You've all gained skill that has served you well. Good luck in your future caving endeavors and take care of yourselves!
I could never put myself in a spot where I couldn't turn around, especially going slightly down. If that cave doesn't open back up, so you can turn, and you can't pull yourself backwards, you're fucked. The people that have died stuck in these things have had to have had the worst deaths ever.
We can back up, and have many times. We scout a cave quite well before getting too carried away. We lose a little skin, but not our brain.
Even though I know you know what you're doing
I'm always glad you and Jacob get out safe and sound 🙏🏻
Jacob knows what he’s doing. We just follow along
@@billsanders9387 oh I'm sure he knows what he's doing,
All that experience at such a young age one can't buy.
Looking forward to the next adventures 🙏🏻
14:00 Looks so scary to enter there with all rocks that looks loose :D
My fear is not the confined spaces but the idea that you eventually have to turn around and get out again.Trapphobia if there is such a word.
There might be a more specific word, but we just call it claustrophobia.
So so glad to see you guys uploading! Great video! Much love and stay safe fellas.
Caving is so much easier than editing videos. Glad you enjoy them.
It makes me happy to watch another video from you. Thanks
You are welcome.
With the precarious rocks, this is something else man, very much appreciate seeing something I could never attempt.
I would not be anywhere down there that tight…..never moves stones …….omg no
[10:48] When Andrew stops for a breather, it sounds like he says "too much tetrazene/tetrazine/tartrazine." With tetrazine being a pretty random, albeit fairly complex chemistry component... that doesn't seem to fit the circumstance very well. And with tartrazine being another term for "Yellow #5," the common food-coloring agent, that doesn't make much sense either. So, by process of elimination, I must conclude that "tetrazene" was the word Andrew used... and with tetrazene being a chemical compound used in explosives, my subsequent question would be: Were you guys utilizing explosives in an attempt to free up more space down there? And if not, then who was? (Hopefully, it wasn't the person leaving their used hypodermic needles around!)
He said too much Tetris’ing. Stop thinking so hard about this.
Thanks for sharing!
This is crazy and scary. I’m all for adventures and hikes, at least with hikes I know I will see something pretty at the end of that hike… Caving it’s just scary and dark and uncomfortable in my opinion, but I can understand how some people get a satisfaction out exploring them. Not everyone has to have the adrenaline for their choice of activities, so much respect to you guys and for the educational video. Seeing your video, definitely reassure me not to try tight small cave spots 👍🏼.
My goodness that looked like an uncomfortable cave, but at least someone has a little scar to prove it lol. Nice recovery gentlemen.
every time you upload I say "sweet, I'm glad they're still alive". I would never do this kind of stuff but I love your videos.
🫡
Ya know Cal; I recently got outta the hospital from having a diabetic seizure followed by a 3-day coma. But YOU came closer to meeting G-D face to face than I did!!😶 My heart can only take so much Bro!😅
There are many paths to enlightenment but it turns out we've both figured out unique ways to come close to God.
@@CalvinHikes Most definitely!!😁👍
I don't know why I like watching some crazies crawling through caves, but yet another great vid. 🤣
Thanks much! We live life uniquely.
Thought my man finally got stuck with no upload for so long
A few rumors were started, but we are still alive and exploring the underground. Thanks for staying in touch.
Im not even a minute in, and im feeling claustrophobic.
You’re ready for the next video. 😂
You guys take being stuck between a rock and a hard place to a whole new level.
Great video Calvin and Jacob. Looking forward to the next one since you have it all hyped up. Hopefully everyone was alright,you made it sound like Garry had a real bad time.
It looks like a Garry snuff video.
I'd hoped to have it done before this one but... soon.
@@CalvinHikes oh,jeez. I'll be waiting. Haha
Thanks for doing this for me. I appreciate it. ❤
Halfway through the video I had to walk outside on the porch and get some fresh air!! 🤣🤣
What do you do if while your in one of those really tight tunnels and you have to pinch a loaf? What then.
You become a pinch loaf and exit that cave like a poop 💩
Man this is hard to watch I wanna turn it but I can't 😂 watched until the end well dam 😕 😮that's beyond scary 😳 glad everyone was OK 🙏
Sometimes a close call reminds us to stay alert. Thanks for watching
I know you guys were having a good time but wow that seemed like a really tight crawl.
Never mind caving. I am now scared of craving something, just because it sounds the similar
I would imagine if all the vital light source would shut off. I just cant imagine myself at such spots.
Is there only one way in and one way out? That was a great claustrophobic cave to watch. Missed those for sure.
Theres alot of things i like doing this is one i have complete respect for and struggle to watch what's amazing is how the explorers Respect each others weaknesses if any and completely are there for each other if things get a bit tight and know how to get each other out of panicking Honesly for me your crazy to put your self in these places but again Risking there lifes like this to find new areas and have fun at the same time complete respect here
always living life on the edge huh.
Or under the edge. Yup!
Nope. No no no. I get worried just watching it. Never doing that. Y’all are brave but crazy.
Almost all of these are nightmare fuel.. subscribed.
Genuine question: do you just not get claustrophobic? Like how there are some people who aren’t afraid of heights, do you not have a fear of tight spaces at all? Do you even get that discomfort?
Sure we get it. But I never had it very bad and it obviously diminishes with practice. That panic still has a tendency to rise. It can be fought through patience.
We never put ourselves in truly compromising situations... If it gets too snug, I don't continue.
crazy people doing this kind of stupidity😢
Thanks for your efforts. Love this entire world.
Why am I just addicted to cave exploring videos now?
Hi from UK, if I ever visit USA I would love to meet up with you guys and explore some cool caves. Your caves seem awesome compared to ours here in the UK .keep on caving guys awesome videos. 🙂💪
My Claustrophobia is dancing with excitement 😂😂😂 thanks for the videos 👍🏼
I’m 30 seconds in and already feeling claustrophobic lol
You can do that in real life. We deal with it too.
Such a crazy risk to look at rocks that look similar to the ones near the top. Any natural movement One Direction to the left or right and your possibly squished forever (Edit) 9:45 literally what I said ⬆️
And they can play the video at our memorial. Thanks for watching.
This questions for Calvin and Andrew. What's the longest amount of time you've been somewhat trapped or stuck???
Getting stuck is for other people.
I’m getting better at watching these, initially forcing myself to because it’s interesting. I can now watch these pretty easily - in FF. 😆😎🖤
Glad to see a new video! Have you guys ever been in a tight crawl like that and had a big spider say hello?
ua-cam.com/video/a5WRJ2rl1aE/v-deo.html
Hello
It's been 2 months since your last upload, you good?
Ugh, watching this definitely starts to make me panic. I have to remind myself that I’m in the safety of my own house 😂😂😂😂. Well done
Your house isn't safe.
My question is, why don't you lower a camera way ahead before you, with a cable, or something, so you can see what's below or ahead of you, and can then decide if it's safe to descend?
Once i did caving the day i was born decided its not for me .
Would it be a good idea to puff out your stomach whilst crawling through the tight spots? So that if you get stuck you can suck in your stomach and slide back out. Nice video
I have the up most respect for Calvin and he's son" 💯 you guys are amazing " thanks for making these videos 📹 all I can say is I don't think I want to become a cave'r 😅😅
Ok, sooooo, your not gonna show us the room only you guys went to? The one after the rocks you had to chip away? I feel ripped off
I'm sorry this is happening to you. Sounds stressful.
All the other parts of this cave can be seen in a video on our main page.
I would suggest a lanyard for your wrist on the flashlight also an emergency tourniquet if worse came to worse
How is Andrew doing now? Did his head get better? Update is needed. Prayers that he recovered well
Also... where's all the food footage? Like the footage of the collapse happe ING and tou guys going into rescue mode?
Unfortunately, I'm not gonna show that. I would if it was me under the collapse but it wasn't.
I don't see how you guys can fit through such tight spots with such giant balls. 😂 I give you boys allot of credit for doing what you do. The most inspirational thing for me is how cool you are with your nephew and how respectful he is. It shows you guys have a close tight nit family and that means more than anything in life. I think it's so awesome how close you both are. I have 5 sons and we always hang out. I would rather do things with my family than anything else. I never get sick of my kids ever.
How do you get oxygen down there?
Good question. Caves breathe. We test air if in doubt of quality.
The greatest stress occurs when you suddenly have to go to the toilet
What if they come across with a snake? I have no clue why they risk their lives
thats a sick cave! wow!
Bring other people into your deathcrawls. Leave these youngings alone. This is crazy.
Ahhhhhh happy to see you again 😁 i need my scary dose 😂😂
Take Care of you ! From France 👍
voice over was hard to hear over the original video
Thank you
Yeah, climbing through the narrow hole with lose boulders, nice.
RIP, this man was cool
If John Malkovich explored caves
How tall and big are you? The more I watch these videos the more confident I feel that I can fit lol. I’m 5’8 145 0 caving experience. Would probably get stuck immediately tho
I'm five nine one sixty five.
You just fit through what you fit through. Lot of flexibility is involved.
@@CalvinHikes that is something that I have noticed you guys talk about a lot, it’s more flexibility than strength in most cases which is something that I really hadn’t thought about for some reason.
Manjur boyz
What if the lights malfunction and youre in pitch black? How would you ger out
We would get out in the dark
@@CalvinHikes thats incredible. I meant more like strat wise. Like im assuming its 100% pitch black but i guess you probably have your phone fully charged in case of emergency which has a light but if thats compromised do you reckon youd just have to have a good enough mental image to back track? I run into stuff when im walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night so i cant imagine being in a web of cave passages in total darkness.
Why go in little crevices like this? Its insane ppl get thrills from this.
What should I do with my life? Sit on the couch watching videos?
You want to risk your life in narrow areas because you only have "sitting on a couch" as your second option?
Hey sir... is thhere anyway you can get some telemetry displayed in terms of the cameras accelerometer data? I think there is a way to do it on certain go pro cams. I just want to be able to figure out where up and down is relative to camera .
Yeah but it takes more editing work. And i'm a caver not an editor.
A crude way of doing it is for us to hang tassels off our helmet and hands or something like that. Gravity would show you the orientation of down.
@@CalvinHikes Not exactly. From what i understand, its a setting in gopro camera and it overlays it onto the video in corner. Aside from changing the setting on camera, it should be the exact same editing on vids. Also, i can likely show you how to automate some of your editing and quicken things up.
@@CalvinHikes and whats yout video editing software, ill figure out how to get the data overlayed on video via automated functions. You really wont have to do anything different to make your video
I can't even go into a MRI without being drugged😂
i would never set foot in a cave made mostly of loose rocks
When you guys come out of a cave again, do you feel a sense of relief or another intense feeling?
We feel a relief when we get to go caving. In general this is a strictly a leisure activity for us.
Brave men. 😮Toe curling for me all the way x
gsus why, just recently rewatched the descent. You should watch before you go in lol :)
One day, you will have to be rescued, and or your body will have to be recovered, putting other peoples lives at risk all for nothing. How worthless
I'm sure you think everything you said has merit.
What happens if you run out of light ?
We just don't.
But to answer you very directly; if we ran out of light, it would be dark
I always wonder what Jacob’s mother thinks of these excursions 😅
There is no mother.
@@CalvinHikes I’ll show myself out🚶🏻♀️
The John Malkovich of Caving!
John Malkovich, a caver : )
Steven Ogg is a Caver?
