I really enjoyed watching your video. I love how you check out all the little things like scum lines, crystals and all the types of calcite formation and flow stones. I think I would have wussed out on going in there with rain on the forecast, that or how close to the cave ceiling the water level was, or how deep it got. Looks like you were have some great fun swimming around down there. Cheers mates, from Australia.
As an old caver (72) I don't get to get underground anymore but I really enjoy your channel, although you sometimes worry me. one thing we used to do to avoid getting turned around in an unfamiliar cave was to use tongue depressor sticks (big popsicle sticks) we put orange reflective tape on half of one side and white reflective tape on the other side. when we came to a split in the passage we would place a reflective stick in the rock, orange means you are going in white indicates you are headed out. last man pulls the sticks and nothing is left behind, and your ready for your next adventure. these are especially helpful if you find yourself in a stressful situation. Hope this idea is helpful. be safe,
Good advice. Things can look different on the way out leading to confusion and wrong choices. I would not have even gone there with rain in the forecast. An hour later and it may have become a search and rescue/recovery.
I've been commenting this on your page for a while now about this. After your experience here I hope you take this to heart. You have to start following some safety protocols because at this point it's just a matter of time before you or one of your friends gets hurt or killed in one of these caves. I know you've been doing it for actually not that long but a little while but it would be a tragedy for something serious to happen just cause you're not taking a little extra time to put some safety steps in your cave experience. Accidents that lead to death happen to often in caves don't be the next news headline it would break a lot of people's heart's.
I bet you're a lot of fun in person. You dont understand the mindset. This is living for these guys. Maybe reckless at times, but that's life. Eating fast food, drinking, smoking, vaccines, etc are all bad for your health.
I think the sketchiest feeling in the world is being in a cave and knowing you’re lost. As hard as it was raining when you guys got out, I bet that thing was flooded to the ceiling not long after. Great video as always!
Even though I know you're safe because you released this video, I was still anxious that you had no idea what time it was, kept pushing further into a flooded cave, started shivering and couldn't find the way out. Thank goodness you didn't stay in there longer with that pouring rain.
Thanks for documenting your journeys. As an educational aside, I continue to encourage you guys to shore up your safety protocols. GROUP SIZE: You need at least a minimum of 3 in a group so if there’s an injury, one can tend to the injured and the other go for help. WEATHER: The cave is known to flood/sump and even if there’s a just a 15% chance of precipitation for the forecast area, you should take into account the area that drains into the cave too. Summertime convective storms- even if a slim chance and isolated- can be disastrous if the storm is geographically placed right. Know the type of storm mode predicted too…….are they going to be progressive and be on the move? Or will they be air-mass type and sit over one area for a time (and produce higher amounts)? When are they expected (typically late-day)? Know how to read the local National Weather Service forecast discussion so you can be informed early as to whether it’d be a good idea to enter a wet cave on that forecast day. CLOTHING: In this day and age with the technical synthetic clothing materials available for adventure recreation, there’s no reason to be in jeans in a wet cave. TIME: Always have a reliable way to monitor time underground and it should be attached to your person. MONITORING PHYSICAL CONDITION: If your extremities are losing feeling due to cold after being submerged, you’re compounding your ability to mitigate an emergency should you need to exit quickly…..or negotiate technical moves requiring manual dexterity of foot and hand. NAVIGATION: I agree with others that you need a systematic way of marking your exit in major junctions in a new cave. This only ensures your quicker exit should you need it and conserves energy wasted down dead-end/wrong passages. At the very least, periodically looking behind you to making mental note of key formations since the passage will look different on the way out.
Guys.....I absolutely LOVE your channel. However....I am seriously worried about your luck running out one day. You only beat the odds so many times until finally one day your luck runs out. If you both knew that this cave had even the possibility of there being water all the way to the ceiling, you should have been more prepared and brought some sort of scuba gear. I also want to know if you guys make it a habit to always check the local area news station doppler radar before you go into a wet cave? Guys that is something that can save your lives......I love watching you guys and I watch these videos with my family....The last thing I want to see is bad news that one or both of you lost your life in an accident that could have been prevented. STAY SAFE!
I love this little rapid growing underground community I can gladly call myself a part of!! I've followed you,your brother,Ryan and the rest of the group since the start yall have came a long way never stop pushin it‼️
I'd rather you fake that you're lost than that you're actually lost, guys. But it sure was pretty down there! I think you should return once the water has gone down significantly! Thank you for taking us down there and showing us the beauty.
It would be cool if you guys did a video explaining your gear and the techniques you use while caving. Maybe you could upload it to your second channel for those who want to learn more about caving.
rofl bro wtf did you not watch this video ? they got lost and had no real plan thats how all there shit goes if you have dumb luck your just as qualified as these two go have fun caving
At first i thought the other kid just couldnt catch subtle hints but then quickly realized his complete disregard simply cuz he wanted to keep going. Ngl i dont like this one, from the cold to if your lost and stuck treading water with nothing to grab& boots on, to the fact that you guys were in there while its pouring rain. I know u guys know what your doing but sometimes feel as though youve done it so many times with no hiccups youve forgotten how fast things can go wrong in a split second and get a bit of thrill goin in with no markers or anything. The main guy filming is usually down for everything & for him to have to mention hes cold multiple times & his mate just completely ignores it because hes got a divesuit & wants more footage is just total reckless abandon for situational awareness that can either prevent or cause catastrophe . For u guys to be just winging it on directions in the ones not filled with water is one thing but caves like this demand their respect. Awsome vid as always though
I agree. I was pissed. I really like these guys and don't want to the b to die. Young people often don't stop to think of the consequences of their actions
There have been a few hiccups like the cave where the water was rising and dudes head went under, or the occasional panic attack with no room to breath between the water and the ceiling. Good thing I'm on this side.
Sometimes I have trouble telling the twins apart. It sounds like the same person is chatting with himself. I think they communicate using electrical waves and not speech. 😊
I've never done what you guys do, so I can't explain why I'm compelled to watch. I've been watching your new and old videos for a few months now. I can't comprehend what your drive is to go deeper and deeper into smaller and smaller spaces. You guys never stop until the path is impassable. Is this a divine form of madness? Y'all don't seem insane, but still, haha hehe, CARRY ON!!
I have never done most of the stuff ive seen on TV and on the internet. That is no barrier to my watching it. Ive never been hired to solve the mystery of a missing dolphin and subsequently uncovered the evil of a disgraced football star with a secret. i have enjoyed the watch.
You know all your videos are awesome! Especially since we are able to watch them through our computers and phones in the comfort our homes, BUT fellas please consider a few safety tips from your fans. Check the weather, check the weather, check the weather before exploring AND have some type of markers to find your way back out!! Safety first guys!!!!💪🏼
Imagine ur on the news, “this person was found dead in a cave whilst in a thunderstorm, and tragically died”, please be more careful, u don’t wanna put yourself on the news headline for tomorrow, just keep this in heart and promise to go in caves that are more safer or doesn’t cause any claustrophobic problems that could lead to hyperventilating which technically leads to death, due to loss of breath because of panicking. I don’t mean you should stop doing it, I just mean that maybe caves that gives anxiety/claustrophobic problems aren’t really good for you, because you don’t wanna die because of having fun. It’s tragic.
Watch all of your videos, I REALLY REALLY like this guys you went into this cave with, he was aware of the potential problems, and able to help guide you both out. He is a good leader. Calm and cool headed too. Glad you guys make it out in time!!! Happy Caving!
Man, cave diving that labyrinth when fully flooded would be so fun! Crystal clear waters, a sandy beach floor, the cute cave corals sprinkle on the ceilings, the constant splits, could definitely get lost, but dude, such a beautiful system! A good time for sure! Love it! Be safe and keep on caving! Love this channel!
Bro, you guys should really consider some form of direction marking in the cave. Don't gamble with your life. And knowing you could be underwater at any time since rain can be unpredictable.
I watch these when i dont have enough anxiety in my life 😅 even though it seems reckless at times im not saying do this, dont do that, cause ive done so many sketchy solo hiking adventures without even telling anyone where i was, let alone filming it, i should be in a David Paulides video. The best times of my life were often the most naive and unprepared. Never the less, i dont do that stuff unprepared anymore and caves freak me out, so thanks for these adventures! Super cool 👍
The whole time you were treading water I was thinking “Is the cave actually getting deeper or is the water level rising and they don’t realize it”. Scary situation for sure, you guys got lucky that day.
"Check this out" is such the perfect first words for a caving video. The cave gave me the creeps, but IT IS a cave and you guys sent it man, with the deep water and ear-dipping it, then cold and lost, concerned about predicted rain, so glad you die the exit cause the rain was coming down when you did!
wow! I'm tripping along with you guys, loving the color of the water, and how smooth this cave looks...it doesn't look like it's out for blood... then I hear - I think we got turned around.... I don't remember seeing a smiley face ... that just got super tense for me... since I started watching your vids, I have always been amazed at how you seem to have this infallible sense of direction! always upbeat, and always ending with the relief of seeing you exit the cave. but to hear the word ...lost... if you guys would have run out of batteries and not shown your exit, I think I would have had some serious anxiety until you posted again! was that a rock or mud bottom river? the water seemed to stay so clear, like there wasn't much sediment getting stirred up. we need to find a bright underwater light for you guys, caustic lines are amazing - and seeing them in a cave would be other worldly! ok... how often do you guys get lost on the surface,?😃
I didn't like that cave. I couldn't see any part of the cave that looked like it couldn't completely fill up - it looked like if it started to flood the part nearer the entrance could fill before the deep part did, leaving you stuck in the deep part with no way out as it slowly filled to the ceiling with nowhere to go that was safe to wait for the water to go down - also, it was so wide that it could look way different when the water rose 3 inches which could mix you up more. It won't break my heart if you never go back to that one.
We are once caught by rain water while exploring underground cave it was my 10th time exploring a cave. I know those were rookie numbers, but from that moment I stopped exploring caves with my friends.😂😂😂
Everytime you guys get a nice draft, i think about all the natural air conditioning we could be utilizing. Maybe the natives were living NICE around these caves in summer! I would be!
Water in a cave scares me, I would of turned around right atbthe beginning.. Not going into that stuff.. Very scary... Stay safe, don't keep pushing your luck.. It'll run out one day.
Man I hate the adventure is over. I hope things get better. Family can be difficult, but you have to be the anchor and dont stop fighting. I've been on the other side and thank God my family didn't give up.
Maybe make a rule written in stone to just not do this when you know rain is 💦ing. I know you are a pro at this but you are a pro until you aren’t one.
Jeeeeez I was thinking as you went in, there's no way I'd be able to figure out going the same path back out... But I thought well THESE guys they must have tactics and an incredible sense of direction... Then you got lost on the way out 😩. I thought you were getting close to this being a "found footage" film.
This scared me so bad for you guys! I'm so glad you guys made it out! I was praying the moment you said it was supposed to rain, I would have been lost down there forever. 😳
@4:35 I always pick left when there is an ambiguous split decision. That keeps my mind clear. Then 2nd left, or even 3rd left, when 1st or 2nd lefts are cleared.
Why would anyone in their right mind go in somewhere like that with any rain in the forecast . I'm just not sure if I would call it brave or something else.
You guys should bring a little ball of red yarn to tie off little areas you pass through. When things start to interconnect and what not so you more easily can recognize the path taken.
As always I enjoyed the the adventure you guys go into in each video. It amazes me the size of whats underground and no one realizes. Just amazing... BTW who's up for some cave bacon 🥓😂😂
Damn bro! These low air space water caves put SO much stress on me and I’m just watching. Then when you got to the ear dipper spot I’m just yelling “GET OUT GET OUT! Let’s GO DAMN IT” so much so that my wife came in here fast asking what’s going on?????? Hahahaha well done guys but DAAAAUM. !
Mt. Saint Helens has a cool public cave, Ape Cave. Really cool. Really big! Lots of folks there in summer. My son and I rented a lantern at the entrance (of course we had headlamps too) it was very fun. But then also on tht mountain in another spot is a lava tube maybe 25 feet long, about 15 feet underground only big enough to crawl through. It is a little attraction with signs and stuff. My son really wanted to try it so I did but I still habe nightmares about that horrible closing in feeling under the ground. The walls were totally smoothe volcanic glass. It was neat but I prefer big giant tall caves lol
Saludos desde Dallas texas ne encantan sus videos y la verdad es emocionante y a la vez de miedo ahí abajo sabiendo que pueden encontrar de todo hasta la mismísima entrada al inframundo quería comentar que en el minuto 15 al 16:19 se alcanza a escuchar sonidos de algun lamento o de algún ser muy molesto y quería saber si es alguna anomalía del video saludos
Dirt Perfect has a cool cave on his property. He mentioned it on todays video. He is doing work around it. You guys should check with him and do a video for both channels.
Impressive cave scenery, beautifully clear water, but you appeared to be on that fine line between everything being OK (as usual) and possibly not making it out alive this time: getting lost inside there (scary!) with that heavy rainfall outside could have been a perfect recipe for disaster, IMO. When you start feeling seriously cold, it's time to head back too: look after each other. Safety first, guys, more UA-cam viewers and advertising income are simply not worth risking your life for - regardless of the fact that you truly have the courage to go all the way: I could never do what you're doing there. Just my 2 cents worth...
Some time in the early summer of 2024: The twins crawl into a seemingly nice cave....6 minutes and 25 seconds into the crawl, they discuss a weird looking "thing". "Thing" turns out to be ancient fungus. They continue into the cave.....(add to the story with your own fictional tale of how their exploration of the cave goes)
Random question: have you guys ever taken a gold pan with you into any of these caves? I have to imagine that if there's any placer gold left to be found, it would be in an inaccessible place like a natural cave. Given that they're ALSO natural low spots, it's not inconceivable that there could be deposits in such places. It may be a crap-shoot, but it couldn't hurt to check, and it's not like a pan takes up a lot of pack space...
Rumor has it there was a cave in california with an underground river paved with gold ...maybe they found it b/c there a military base established there...off the i-15 heading to vegas...the man who discovered it went to his grave with the secret location...😢
Wouldn't it take a lot of time and torch light to do it in the cave? Maybe taking samples from identified spits in the cave and bringing the samples out to test them? I know nothing about this subject btw
@@-xirx- Panning doesn't take long at all, if the goal is just to check for the presence of gold. Naturally, you'd want to check multiple locations, but there are specific kinds of places you'd check first, as even gold dust/flakes are so much heavier than other material that it tends to accumulate in low points, and the center/bottom of streams. Black sand is also a good indicator of places any gold present would accumulate, as it's usually iron oxide, which is both often associated with gold deposits, and is another dense material that can indicate accumulation points. If the water in the cave eroded through a gold-bearing stratum or seam anywhere "upstream," the gold freed through that erosion would be present in the places described. They could effectively check multiple locations in a short amount of time, with even relatively low-level light sources. You can get an idea of what the process looks like by watching scenes from 'The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs,' and the film 'Sisu.' They're cinematic, but still fairly realistic.
You should always try to have someone infront of you in shots so we have perspective; sometimes it gets tough to tell just what type of situations you're in. Also, it's safer... for you, atleast.
I couldn’t breath just watching 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️good luck guys, Did anyone saw what looked like a bag or purse cover in mud but above where the buoy was? I wonder ☺️
Camera guy has said “ I’m cold “, “I’m getting pretty tired “, “you’re taller than me. I’m standing on my tippy toes”( regarding water height),” I’m pretty cold, I’m getting the shivers” just 19 minutes in. That’s terrible. Your being selfish and unsafe. You’re in a dangerous situation- you don’t have his back. This is sad. You didn’t gain a subscriber and this is why. I’ll probably see your story on outdoor disasters if you don’t smarten up.
This was a scary one! 0_o
Please be safe. We all love watching your videos, but *WE* are not worth your lives. 😕
I really enjoyed watching your video.
I love how you check out all the little things like scum lines, crystals and all the types of calcite formation and flow stones.
I think I would have wussed out on going in there with rain on the forecast, that or how close to the cave ceiling the water level was, or how deep it got.
Looks like you were have some great fun swimming around down there.
Cheers mates, from Australia.

Good advice. Things can look different on the way out leading to confusion and wrong choices. I would not have even gone there with rain in the forecast. An hour later and it may have become a search and rescue/recovery.
I will definitely be adding this to my cave bag.
Some good sound advise for people just learning. Good way to mark the route!
Yes absolutely 🤙🤙😎
Careful a bunch of his "fans" encourage him to do some extremely dangerous stuff like this and treat comments like this as a joke.

WHERE ARE YOU?
I bet you're a lot of fun in person. You dont understand the mindset. This is living for these guys. Maybe reckless at times, but that's life. Eating fast food, drinking, smoking, vaccines, etc are all bad for your health.
@@joshhigdon4951 ...In your opinion, what could have been the worst case scenario during this cave exploration?
🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂@@joshhigdon4951
“It all worked out” is not the most reassuring thing to be relying on. It’s probably worth getting a better system for way marking guys.
one can always take lightweight flags with numbers
Scary how fast that could have turned into a tragedy. Just recently found your channel and it's great man. Please don't drown.
I think the sketchiest feeling in the world is being in a cave and knowing you’re lost. As hard as it was raining when you guys got out, I bet that thing was flooded to the ceiling not long after. Great video as always!
Even though I know you're safe because you released this video, I was still anxious that you had no idea what time it was, kept pushing further into a flooded cave, started shivering and couldn't find the way out. Thank goodness you didn't stay in there longer with that pouring rain.
"Hey dude, I'm getting really cold." Really? I'm doing great! "Hey dude, I'm REALLY cold" Really? I'm going great! "Hey dude, I'm so cold I'm about to die from hypothermia" *Ignores the situation* Really? I'm doing great!
Yeah, some friend
Right???😂😂😂
IM FUCKING CRYING 😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Super nice of the landowner to let you explore! Would love to see some photos of the Indian artifacts found.

I think they communicate using electrical waves and not speech. 😊
They finish each other's sentences.
Hi Bill and Ted. I like your most excellent adventures
"I'm feeling pretty cold, man"
"I feel fine"
Okay. Watch out for your partner and head back if they say something. It's not just about how you feel.
"I'm getting hypothermic"
"I'm feeling pretty warm in this wetsuit, let's keep going".
I love watching your guys content. I always click right away when I get notifications of a new video
Same here I really enjoy them
Gnarly as always, thanks dudes
15:54 there is a whisper that says Leave.
lol how fkn weird is that??
It’s neither of their voices..
Sounds like an Indian or something.
Yeah that was their guardian Angel. Are they even aware that this happened?
@@ashmac4732where did you see an Indian there?
Wtf
The instant you started shivering you BOTH should have turned around.
Hypothermia +swimming = death
I've never done what you guys do, so I can't explain why I'm compelled to watch. I've been watching your new and old videos for a few months now. I can't comprehend what your drive is to go deeper and deeper into smaller and smaller spaces. You guys never stop until the path is impassable. Is this a divine form of madness?

Wading cold water with jeans 😭thats gotta be so HEAVY and exhausting
Going in there without a wet suit was not smart. They are very lucky
This is scary amazing. Not gonna lie. 🙂
Please...be safe. Clicks, comments and subscribers aren't worth your life.

Love it! Be safe and keep on caving! Love this channel!
Do I read a little bit of sarcasm ?
This would be a terrible cave dive, lol. Pure silt, zero visibility, and way too easy to get lost.
gus and woody from dive talk would absolutely love to dive this cave if it was flooded.
It was really close this time. Don't rely on luck, please. Thank's for shareing.
Bro, you guys should really consider some form of direction marking in the cave. Don't gamble with your life.
And knowing you could be underwater at any time since rain can be unpredictable.
Rain isn't that unpredictable 😂 not like they're down there for days, and did you not see the guide wire?
Okay, yeah they need a better system. My bad😅 I wasn't far into it when I read your comment on them getting lost...jeebus.
I watch these when i dont have enough anxiety in my life 😅 even though it seems reckless at times im not saying do this, dont do that, cause ive done so many sketchy solo hiking adventures without even telling anyone where i was, let alone filming it, i should be in a David Paulides video. The best times of my life were often the most naive and unprepared.
Never the less, i dont do that stuff unprepared anymore and caves freak me out, so thanks for these adventures! Super cool 👍
You need a rain sensor.. or like a pot of sodium when it gets wet by rain it gives a loud bang you can hear deep into the cave..
The whole time you were treading water I was thinking “Is the cave actually getting deeper or is the water level rising and they don’t realize it”. Scary situation for sure, you guys got lucky that day.
"Check this out" is such the perfect first words for a caving video. The cave gave me the creeps, but IT IS a cave and you guys sent it man, with the deep water and ear-dipping it, then cold and lost, concerned about predicted rain, so glad you die the exit cause the rain was coming down when you did!
wow! I'm tripping along with you guys, loving the color of the water, and how smooth this cave looks...it doesn't look like it's out for blood...
then I hear - I think we got turned around.... I don't remember seeing a smiley face ...
that just got super tense for me... since I started watching your vids, I have always been amazed at how you seem to have this infallible sense of direction! always upbeat, and always ending with the relief of seeing you exit the cave.
but to hear the word ...lost... if you guys would have run out of batteries and not shown your exit, I think I would have had some serious anxiety until you posted again!
was that a rock or mud bottom river? the water seemed to stay so clear, like there wasn't much sediment getting stirred up. we need to find a bright underwater light for you guys, caustic lines are amazing - and seeing them in a cave would be other worldly!
ok... how often do you guys get lost on the surface,?😃
I didn't like that cave. I couldn't see any part of the cave that looked like it couldn't completely fill up - it looked like if it started to flood the part nearer the entrance could fill before the deep part did, leaving you stuck in the deep part with no way out as it slowly filled to the ceiling with nowhere to go that was safe to wait for the water to go down - also, it was so wide that it could look way different when the water rose 3 inches which could mix you up more. It won't break my heart if you never go back to that one.
Not to mention if the deep parts have currents underneath...
Damn boys you gotta play it smarter than that, that was extremely sketchy
I'm glad y'all were smart about not pushing it too far.
Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
Scary Interesting loves the content you keep giving him
Ayyyyeeee new sub here. Been binging your old videos. Glad I'm not too late for this one !
Awesome video! Nature never fails to shock us! Glad I could see two braver men then me go out and explore her!
Brave? Foolhardy
We are once caught by rain water while exploring underground cave it was my 10th time exploring a cave. I know those were rookie numbers, but from that moment I stopped exploring caves with my friends.😂😂😂
What, you do it alone now?!
It’s amazing how smooth the cave is from all of the running water! almost looks man made
You guys need to buy some glowsticks and drop them at every turn
Man that deep section at 16:33 would make for an epic pool but the flood factor kinda ruins it
Glad u guys know how to stay safe ! Good adventure as always dudes ! Love the colour of the deeper water !! 👏👏👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Everytime you guys get a nice draft, i think about all the natural air conditioning we could be utilizing. Maybe the natives were living NICE around these caves in summer! I would be!
That was a beautiful cave. Would be nice to snorkel through in the clear blue water.
What a beautiful cave but these videos mess with my anxiety bad 😂 stay safe
Thanks for once again surviving another sketchy adventure. Yall Mud Otters rock
DANG!!!!!! It must be amazing exploring those caves. It always seems to astonish him, almost like the next one was better than the last.
Water in a cave scares me, I would of turned around right atbthe beginning.. Not going into that stuff.. Very scary... Stay safe, don't keep pushing your luck.. It'll run out one day.
Wouaouuu! Very cute! Beautifull! Nice Cave! Thank You, 👌🫶 Stay safe
Crazy cave. Very cool.
Man I hate the adventure is over. I hope things get better. Family can be difficult, but you have to be the anchor and dont stop fighting. I've been on the other side and thank God my family didn't give up.
The cave looked amazing, so happy for you guys to be able to explore it :)
I am glad you do the exploring, so I don’t have to 🙏🏻Thanks ActionAdventureTwins 😊👍
Maybe make a rule written in stone to just not do this when you know rain is 💦ing. I know you are a pro at this but you are a pro until you aren’t one.
A 5 mile long cave with low are in a thunderstorm?? Hell count me in lol Always wonderful guys thank you
Jeeeeez I was thinking as you went in, there's no way I'd be able to figure out going the same path back out... But I thought well THESE guys they must have tactics and an incredible sense of direction... Then you got lost on the way out 😩. I thought you were getting close to this being a "found footage" film.
This scared me so bad for you guys! I'm so glad you guys made it out! I was praying the moment you said it was supposed to rain, I would have been lost down there forever. 😳
@4:35 I always pick left when there is an ambiguous split decision. That keeps my mind clear. Then 2nd left, or even 3rd left, when 1st or 2nd lefts are cleared.
This man will be a legend one day
If you bring a pickaxe you can staircase out. -A seasoned minecraft spelunker.
I got at least 2 new phone backgrounds from this video. Beautiful.
Why would anyone in their right mind go in somewhere like that with any rain in the forecast . I'm just not sure if I would call it brave or something else.
Very nice adventure! Always a great view explore. Get in and out safe 😆
Súper, saludos Dallas TX 🇺🇸
When this channel is no more new video. Mean they are already get lost and died in sad and suffered in the cave
you guys are crazy! great video.
Absultely insane love your videos. I honestly believe you are taking to much risk.
Yr stuff's so awesome! Always feels lk I'm there. Thanks so much 4 the Xcellent job Y'all do! Much appreci8ed!
You guys should bring a little ball of red yarn to tie off little areas you pass through. When things start to interconnect and what not so you more easily can recognize the path taken.
Ain't no way you'll catch me doing this. But I'm glad someone is, we get see without going. Thank you
As always I enjoyed the the adventure you guys go into in each video. It amazes me the size of whats underground and no one realizes. Just amazing... BTW who's up for some cave bacon 🥓😂😂
Damn bro! These low air space water caves put SO much stress on me and I’m just watching. Then when you got to the ear dipper spot I’m just yelling “GET OUT GET OUT! Let’s GO DAMN IT” so much so that my wife came in here fast asking what’s going on?????? Hahahaha well done guys but DAAAAUM. !
Dude this is some wild stuff, im living vicariously through you right now, one day maybe ill do something like this on my channel 🤔
You guys need to be more careful - one of these times you’re not going to make it out.😕
That is a def raft cave!! Time to go back with the boats!!! ;-)
never knew rocks had skin tags until 9:15. this would be a dream of mine to go here with you. please take me here one day
Mt. Saint Helens has a cool public cave, Ape Cave. Really cool. Really big! Lots of folks there in summer. My son and I rented a lantern at the entrance (of course we had headlamps too) it was very fun. But then also on tht mountain in another spot is a lava tube maybe 25 feet long, about 15 feet underground only big enough to crawl through. It is a little attraction with signs and stuff. My son really wanted to try it so I did but I still habe nightmares about that horrible closing in feeling under the ground. The walls were totally smoothe volcanic glass. It was neat but I prefer big giant tall caves lol
Saludos desde Dallas texas ne encantan sus videos y la verdad es emocionante y a la vez de miedo ahí abajo sabiendo que pueden encontrar de todo hasta la mismísima entrada al inframundo quería comentar que en el minuto 15 al 16:19 se alcanza a escuchar sonidos de algun lamento o de algún ser muy molesto y quería saber si es alguna anomalía del video saludos
no escuche nada yo, y tambien soy de, dallas tx saludos
I M Sooo glad U guys R ok! But yeah, intense! Gr8 vid! 😊
Dirt Perfect has a cool cave on his property. He mentioned it on todays video. He is doing work around it. You guys should check with him and do a video for both channels.
Impressive cave scenery, beautifully clear water, but you appeared to be on that fine line between everything being OK (as usual) and possibly not making it out alive this time: getting lost inside there (scary!) with that heavy rainfall outside could have been a perfect recipe for disaster, IMO. When you start feeling seriously cold, it's time to head back too: look after each other. Safety first, guys, more UA-cam viewers and advertising income are simply not worth risking your life for - regardless of the fact that you truly have the courage to go all the way: I could never do what you're doing there. Just my 2 cents worth...
Some time in the early summer of 2024: The twins crawl into a seemingly nice cave....6 minutes and 25 seconds into the crawl, they discuss a weird looking "thing". "Thing" turns out to be ancient fungus. They continue into the cave.....(add to the story with your own fictional tale of how their exploration of the cave goes)
It was at this point they realised that DEI was the root cause of the collapse of the west.... THE END
Random question: have you guys ever taken a gold pan with you into any of these caves? I have to imagine that if there's any placer gold left to be found, it would be in an inaccessible place like a natural cave. Given that they're ALSO natural low spots, it's not inconceivable that there could be deposits in such places. It may be a crap-shoot, but it couldn't hurt to check, and it's not like a pan takes up a lot of pack space...
Rumor has it there was a cave in california with an underground river paved with gold ...maybe they found it b/c there a military base established there...off the i-15 heading to vegas...the man who discovered it went to his grave with the secret location...😢
Wouldn't it take a lot of time and torch light to do it in the cave?
Maybe taking samples from identified spits in the cave and bringing the samples out to test them?
I know nothing about this subject btw
@@-xirx- Panning doesn't take long at all, if the goal is just to check for the presence of gold. Naturally, you'd want to check multiple locations, but there are specific kinds of places you'd check first, as even gold dust/flakes are so much heavier than other material that it tends to accumulate in low points, and the center/bottom of streams. Black sand is also a good indicator of places any gold present would accumulate, as it's usually iron oxide, which is both often associated with gold deposits, and is another dense material that can indicate accumulation points. If the water in the cave eroded through a gold-bearing stratum or seam anywhere "upstream," the gold freed through that erosion would be present in the places described. They could effectively check multiple locations in a short amount of time, with even relatively low-level light sources. You can get an idea of what the process looks like by watching scenes from 'The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs,' and the film 'Sisu.' They're cinematic, but still fairly realistic.
Almost as freaky as when you saw that blood on the wall in that cave and bailed. Stay safe!
You should always try to have someone infront of you in shots so we have perspective; sometimes it gets tough to tell just what type of situations you're in. Also, it's safer... for you, atleast.
I couldn’t breath just watching 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️good luck guys, Did anyone saw what looked like a bag or purse cover in mud but above where the buoy was? I wonder ☺️
4:23 - Isnt it more fun if you had drawn a string from where you came? Letting less be decided by your "memory"
Camera guy has said “ I’m cold “, “I’m getting pretty tired “, “you’re taller than me. I’m standing on my tippy toes”( regarding water height),” I’m pretty cold, I’m getting the shivers” just 19 minutes in. That’s terrible. Your being selfish and unsafe. You’re in a dangerous situation- you don’t have his back. This is sad. You didn’t gain a subscriber and this is why. I’ll probably see your story on outdoor disasters if you don’t smarten up.
id live next to the cave and pump the cold air into the house! thanks for sharing
I was getting claustrophobic by just watching... it is great vid, though. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Awesome guys 👏🏻👍🏻 you make it look easy, not 4 me
