    For some reason, when you enter the smooth yet still as cramped spaces rather than the pointy ones, I feel an even stronger sense of claustrophobia. I don't know why this is, but it's pretty cool. I love getting the feeling of, "Are they going to make it out alive?" Somehow, you always do; both of you. Much appreciation

    • @CalvinHikes
      @CalvinHikes  3 роки тому +21

      Strangly: agreed. The smooth lava has a weird permanence to it. Like it's uncrackable and you'll not be getting out.
      In an upcoming video, we find SUPER smooth lava, and it's literally the creepiest thing ever. Like a shiny metal tomb.

    • @JGB_Wentworth
      @JGB_Wentworth 2 роки тому +2

      My theory would be that with a flat surface, you can clearly see the well defined tiny area you’re in. When the walls are jagged and create lots of shadows there is the illusion or even actual possibility that there is more space than if the walls were smooth due to the increased surface area of the walls.

    • @krissuyx
      @krissuyx 2 роки тому

      A bit of it probably has to do with a rough surface having things to grab onto or push against to move yourself. Not so much with a smooth surface.

    I haven't been in a cave since I was a kid, but since I've moved states and am now in the city, far away from mountains and nature, ive really wanted to go caving. I've binged all the nutty putty and hellhole videos and I'm loving what I'm seeing and learning about. I would never go into most of these caves you're in, but I am super happy to watch this. Thank you.
    My question for you: when you are in a new cave or are exploring uncharted areas, how do you take precautions for not getting yourself into too-tight-spots. For the mortal man, this is anxiety city, but you and your son are right at home.
    P.S. you seem like a great dad who is raising what will develop into great people.

    • @CalvinHikes
      @CalvinHikes  3 роки тому +7

      It's kind of one step at a time. We didn't just end up in difficult caves. We've been doing this awhile and know how to approach each situation. The basic rule is if you don't fit in a passage you don't fit. It's not that easy to get stuck. If the passage goes downhill we back in feet first. If it's super tight we usually leave and come back with tools as well as other people. Or we just go home and think about it and make a plan.
      We also have cameras on robots that we can send inside a passage to ensure its basic safety.
