one of my all time biggest and deepest fear on the planet is to be trapped somewhere like in a collapsed cave or mine. you guys are doing for fun what i have nightmares over. once i had to crawl would be where my journey ended.
Was thinking the same thing. I'm not claustrophobic, like lifts (elevators) don't bother me and things like that, but even though this place has probably been like that forever I'd still be paranoid about millions of tons of rock falling and crushing me to death. Finding my way out again would just be a bonus.
im wondering if anyone that doeas this crazy shit,,, i love wastching! lol but theres been a lot of Earthquakes lately! thats horrifing to think trapped!
A friend of mine years ago bought some land in Middle Tennessee and it had a cave on it. Since I was a spelunker from way back we went in and about 400 yards in we found a waterfall about 8ft tall, His house was off grid so we put a big funnel under the falls and hooked 3 inch hose to it and ran it downhill to his house and plumbed it. He had free ,fresh clean water for his place.
That's funny, when I was in middle Tennessee I took a big sloppy dump in a little creek that flowed into a hole in a rock formation. Seemed like it went underground but who knows
@@BradN333wait was that ole man Jenkins place? I always heard you had to let him have his way with your butt before he would let you see his secret creek. must've just been a rumor though.
You guys found an old mine thats intersects natural cave formations very cool, the reason I say its a old mine draft is in the ceiling there appears to be drill marks and the compressed air line running in from the outside not to mention the brick work and old cement bags that look like pillows now, I would venture a guess that the true floor was buried by the 3 to 4 feet of rock and sand from years of storm run off.
Caves are so interesting to me. They're like naturally generating mazes, some are temporary and change over time adding new passages, removing old ones. Each cave is entirely unique, and some seem to be endless, only limited by our ability to fit through the gaps and explore them. Its an entirely alien environment to what we're used to on the surface, the cave entrance is like a portal calling you into an entirely different world.
Reminds me of a quote: a man wandered upon a cave, while he was filled with horror at the unkown nonetheless he was captivated by what could be within…
@@Ieezeca If you follow the left or the right edge, you'll likely make it out eventually. The problem is if you get stuck, twist an ankle or slide down something that you can't easily climb back up.
When they get to the really narrow places, I start to freak out! I’m so claustrophobic I need to talk myself through the video. Fun fact: the first cave exploration I watched was the guy getting trapped in Nutty Putty cave!
Sooo much better of a film having someone in front of you while recording with the GoPro…Gives great justification of just how tight or large of a space you are in👍 Thank you so much for all you provide in footage.. Truly Great!!!
To me it's a little disorienting to not have them for scale or like crawling spaces it's hard to judge how tight it is (but I don't think there's really a better way to film it tbh.) The thing I like about it though is it really immersed me and when they do reveals that show JUST how tight a space is or how high a ceiling really is makes the reveal so cool.
Can you imagine how hard it would have been to carry those bags of concrete back to that point where they were petrified? I sure would have hated to been the person to lug those back there lol
I can't stop binging your videos. You're so respectful to each other And I don't think I've ever heard anyone swear. I love the way we get to go on the journey with you and listen to you speculate without the corny music.

Watching you crawl through those tight places is so nerve wracking. My heart starts racing and I have to remind myself to breathe; such a relief when you return to the surface. Love your videos!

Thank you so much for recording your spelunking journey and allowing me to live through you vicariously! I have medical conditions that are not allowing me to explore the caves that I want to do so much. Really appreciate you doing the exploration with your GoPros.
I suffer from claustrophobia. I was stuck in a cave no bigger around than my shoulders when I was 15. There was someone else stuck behind me and someone in front of me who made it to a tiny room about 8 feet in circumference and 5 feet high. I had no choice but to squeeze myself forward inch by inch until i got to the tiny occupied room. I don't want to repeat the rest, but obviously i got out. After that I couldn't even sleep in a pup tent. Watching this is like torture, and yet here I am. Except that I can't finish it. Aaaaah!
I caved in my 20s and the tight spaces didn’t bother me like it would now. Your description of being almost stuck really creeps me out. I’m glad you made it.
At 10:13 something is moving in one of the small cave holes then disappears. Trick of the light maybe? i used screen recording software to slow down the frames and can't tell what it is.
At least under your house the firefighters could likely get you out in a matter of hours no matter how well you got wedged in there. A cave, people have gotten wedged into places and died after weeks of effort trying to get them out. It's more or less my greatest fear.
Thats the thing about phobias, they are irrational fears and if you've got claustrophobia, you know it's probably no danger to you, but you're still gonna be extremely affraid and anxious going through tight spaces no matter how safe it is.@@SmallSpoonBrigade
3:48 that's premix, carried inside, forgotten, flooded over and left like that. I actually see this a lot in WW2 caves that were modified by the Wehrmacht (well, a lot in the sense that it's more than 10 times now).
There is what strongly appears to be a large mammalian clavicle bone in the shot from 15:38 to 15:56. He crawls right by it. Washed in most likely after heavy rain from a cow or horse but out of place. Maybe Pleistocene!
I also often go to caves with friends. But we're not as tired of life as you are :) Crawl through places so tight you can barely breathe? What do you do if you get stuck and suddenly there is a lot of water? Take care of yourselves. You only have your life once. Greetings from Island 🇮🇸
Love your guys enthusiasm. Whether crawling on your belly's through water or navigating into spaces that are so tight most would turn around,your excitement at finding sparkly bits, or even a place to stand up is contagious. I also found it amazing that someone had to lay that pipe in the same conditions, which is mind-boggling. And I guess we'll never know why. Thanks so much for sharing gentlemen!
9:00 All of the very smooth stone formation you're looking at is called flowstone, very smooth sediment deposits that were made with flowing water over hundreds and thousands of years. Something is caused that watery basin to dry up. There used to be a continuous waterfall keeping the entire area moist. Whatever is generating that higher temperature that you previously mentioned is probably what dried this place up.
I remember being a young guy in KY and caving on property we never should have been on. And then crawling with your back scratching the ceiling, and no way to turn around with a person in front of you and one or more behind you. It was exciting then. The thought of it now freaks me out.
Good on you for doing that! Facing fears through exposure like this is super helpful. I'm completely over my arachnophobia after watching vids of people handling spiders, so same sorta thing!
You guys are crazy going in such tight spaces. I was on pins and needles watching and wondering how your going to get out. So exciting thank you for sharing.
Considering the pipes and that opening, almost feel like this cave was filled in. Makes me wonder if you guys could look up some past on this location.
The 1921 etching at 9:55 and the square thing that looks out of place. My guess something or someone is covered in that thing. Think about it.......at that part they went up and under them was water. Cave might have flooded and someone in 1921 got stuck there and died.
Someone etched 1921 or 27 in that cave at 9:55. There's also a pile of black something that doesn't necessarily look natural in the "corner" just before that at 9:47.
Some of these veey tigh spots that you guys crawl thru are insane, i don't know how you do it. And also as someone else mentioned getting back out without getting lost. Amazing footage and journeys. Thanks for sharing.
You guys always have a good positive attitude down there, while I'm at home thinking about wild animals, natural gases and slabs of falling rock... probably a good indication that I'm not cut-out for underground exploration. =D
Demolishing Ranch is a UA-cam channel I've watched for years. Matt bought an abounded mansion and now lives in it and it is beautiful. He recently bought an abandoned Ranch and it has lots of Caves. Matt would love explore it with some experts. If your near Texas , hit him up he would love it.
ha I want that collab to happen sooo bad too.. I want to imagine that Matt and his team working on the ranch at some point will be able to focus on clearing debris from the blast that revealed a passage. It would be amazing and slightly terrifying to find that right below their feet sits a 10s of stories domed drop into the river cave previously explored. I just hope the blasting that have done / will do isn't such a seismic disturbance that it collapses most or all of it before they can visit, hope also when they do it will still be safe.
I got stuck in a cave once. My body was wedged between rocks with no ground under my feet.. aka GET ME THE F OUTTA HERE! friends finally made it to the cave and heard me and pulled me out. Colorado rockies
@@johnnewton8017 Thank you 🫡 I probably would have died. Every little move I made wedged me further in till it was hard to breath. I like how these dudes don’t cave alone.
so nice, guys! good job! i would really enjoy doing this same route, collect some samples throughout to do some analysis and record and take some pictures... this cave is a treasure! much to learn from places like this...
Matt with Demolition Ranch needs some professional cave spelunkers for his new property. Great opportunity for another video to an audience of 11.4 million subscribers 👍 Stay safe guys!
@@ActionAdventureTwinshey, just wanted to tell you, there's a hip bone at 15:56 mark of the video. Why would there be a bone so deep in there? A bone that big... Makes no sense, no large animal can crouch under like a human can... Is it a human bone maybe?? Can't wait to see y'all in the Texas cave with Matt! Glad the mineral dude is okay. I'm in Maine, and there are tons of secret caves around my house. 😊
Just saw those videos before this one. I am amazed how quickly he regained his composure from that incident. Glad everyone seemed okay at the end though.
@9:55 looks like someone wrote 1921 and something else maybe starting with a cursive J. Very cool find. Someone certainly spent a lot of time and money in that cave. Also looks like it might have been back filled a bit.
Love your videos guys. Puts me way outside my comfort zone, but i'm in awe of you both. Spotted a couple of things that i wondered if anyone else saw. 9:53 looks like the date '1921' scratched into the rock face and 15:55 looks like a large animal bone on the floor.
Has anyone figured out what the pipes are for or who put them there? The only explanation I can think of is they were tapping a water source in the back that used to be deeper than it is currently today
That was really cool! Too bad it ended... Have you guys ever beento the Lost sea in Tennessee? The largest underground lake. You ever been to Carlsbad Caverns? That one is amazing. You need to come out west and check it all out! Great video guys! Do youfind caves this way very often? Noticing an opening? Id say it was well worth it! Thanks Edward for sharing it. I cant wait to see where you go next!
Being a rockhound, I wouldn't get 5 feet into that passage before I'd go nuts looking at, well, just about every cobble around me... Thanks for the crawl, guys👍
What state are you from? I rockhound here in Pennsylvania. Mostly for Quartz. Old mines are pretty well known for their Quartz here. In fields where amish live you can find amythyst and smokey Quartz when they til fields. But there is tons of places in PA for different rocks.
Another thing that trips me out is how surfaces deep within don’t see natural light; so the flashlights ,albeit unnatural, maybe have some sort of reaction to microorganisms on surfaces ?
Is that writing on the rock at 9:54? Looks a bit like a scribbled 1921 to me. Edit: And whatever that is at 15:58 looks like a piece of bone, or maybe moose antler or something.
I've been watching a lot of these videos lately, in a slightly masochistic way as I am very claustrophobic and you could not pay me to go caving, but weirdly I think it has had a somewhat numbing effect on me through exposure! That is, until I learned about 1) Floyd Collin and the Sand Cave incident, and 2) more recently (and possibly more horribly) John Jones in Nutty Putty Cave, and OH BOY these have traumatised me anew. Jones especially - being trapped upside down until your heart and lungs give in and you die, Jeez, I feel sick just thinking about it!! Anyway all that to say, take care and be safe guys! I hope nothing bad happens to you 😰
Watching you guys crawl through those tight spots makes my anxiety kick in. Idk how you do it. I would never in a million years, and I've explored hundreds of tunnels, caves, abandoned homes and buildings, etc,
It gives me mild anxiety just to watch the video. Hats off to you guys for being able to squeeze in those tight places. I would not want to do that although exploring caves without the cramming would be good. .
I love your videos! It reminds me of my youth. Funny because I grew up claustrophobic. Very! Watching you guys, explore and seeing the beauty underneath us. Is amazing. I look forward to all your videos now. Ty! I would love to do cave exploring now. Unfortunately I'm too old, but I wish I would've tried it though when I had that passion.
This shit REALLY DOES separate the MEN from the boys … had my heart RACING!!! I was like PLEASE GO BACK! 😂 I didn’t wanna see y’all go any further tbh…. WILD!!!
Still very curious what those pipes were for and where it led. Who would build something like that and for what purpose? Had to go through som extreme measures for that. Had to be worth the while right?
My theory: the cave was an entrance to the water table. Instead drilling a well to it, someone just pumped the water from the entrance. I'm thinking that it receded over time so they added extensions to the pipes. Maybe it just receded so much that they called it quits and left all of the building materials.
It was an old mine. The pipes were for compressed air because they used air hammers 100 years ago to tunnel with. They imploded the entrance and it collapsed over time, reopening and exposing all the natural veins.
I swear it's the camera's perspective, but I'm always thinking, "Nope, it's closed off.", "A CAT couldn't get through there!", and there ya go, scrubbing along....lol I have no idea how you have the nuts to squeeze through those places, without panicking. Maybe it's camera perspective, but FUCK NO!!! lol I'm semi-claustrophobic, in that sense. I love videos from people who do things I'd NEVER do. ;) Thanks. You offer us wusses a cool view into Earth from your perspective.
Why didn't you take a closer look at the brick wall? There could have been another more well used passage that the previous plunderers sealed off. I'd suggest carrying a ice pick of decent weight to see what the layers under the surface of the cave looks like.
I absolutely love your content and your exuberance is infectious...but you guys make me feel a bit anxious and nervous!! lol...Great content! Thank you!😀
What is the writing or markings on the upper left hand side of the cave wall at 8:32 ? It looks like some of the calcite or mud or whatever it is has actually flowed over part of it to the very far left and turned to stone! It might not be writing but SOMETHING has etched shapes into the surface of that stone! At 8:40 it appears it might just be the edges of the flow stone that is somehow turned a very light color... Not sure though, what do you think?
Imagine at the end of the cave you see a Door that says Keep Out, and you hear weird sounds on the other side of it. Would they walk in ? I think Yes. They got big sparkly balls just like those stones.
My claustrophobia is so triggered by watching you guys..What you do is what i love to see and experience the most..Even though I could never do what you do..These adventures are awesome!!!
I know yall know what your doing but damn. This still seems risky if you guys actually just find these caves without knowing anything about them. The one in this video looks like it is a riverbed with all the small stones and rubble on the floor that doesn't look like if fell from the ceiling. I would be worried about this thing filling up with water and since it is so shallow it might take only a couple of inches to trap you. This is why I cant go caving in wet caves. I'm so paranoid about water and caves put together.
I find it so incredibly cool that in the entirety of human existence, there may have been you two and a handful of other people who have been in places like this- and that they were there hundreds of years ago for whatever reason with whatever equipment. So cool.
Those sparkles are so cool...so glittery🤩....it's got to be way more awesome seen in person😁 You always amaze me Edward, you push it to the limit to explore, keep on exploring...😎
I went in a small limestone cave that had solid shells in the eroded walls was very cool and yeah kinda sparkly some are awesome but I've been in some boring ones too
At the entrance that large valve is a pressure regulator! It drops pressure from industrial pressure, 110 psi, down to domestic pressure, 60 to 80 psi, so toilets don't just keep running.
Was a coal miner for 33 years, but would never jam into spaces like this

Where that brick wall was indicates that the cave is probably 15 feet deep with debris. There was great ceiling height in there at one time.
9:00 All of the very smooth stone formation you're looking at is called flowstone, very smooth sediment deposits that were made with flowing water over hundreds and thousands of years.
Something is caused that watery basin to dry up. There used to be a continuous waterfall keeping the entire area moist. Whatever is generating that higher temperature that you previously mentioned is probably what dried this place up.
I think they know lol
@@patrick78624well I didn’t so I appreciate the comment he person left !
I remember being a young guy in KY and caving on property we never should have been on. And then crawling with your back scratching the ceiling, and no way to turn around with a person in front of you and one or more behind you. It was exciting then. The thought of it now freaks me out.
Took a vacation to Kentucky and debated pulling over and going inside every careless I found
I have claustrophobia real bad and watching your videos is slowly helping me fight against it. Keep the craving.
Good on you for doing that! Facing fears through exposure like this is super helpful. I'm completely over my arachnophobia after watching vids of people handling spiders, so same sorta thing!
Same here!
You guys are crazy going in such tight spaces. I was on pins and needles watching and wondering how your going to get out. So exciting thank you for sharing.
Considering the pipes and that opening, almost feel like this cave was filled in. Makes me wonder if you guys could look up some past on this location.
I’m guessing a natural cavity utilized as part of a utility/storm drain system.
Old maps of the area it's in would elucidate
The 1921 etching at 9:55 and the square thing that looks out of place. My guess something or someone is covered in that thing. Think about it.......at that part they went up and under them was water. Cave might have flooded and someone in 1921 got stuck there and died.
It might be possible considering this was a mine.
Someone etched 1921 or 27 in that cave at 9:55. There's also a pile of black something that doesn't necessarily look natural in the "corner" just before that at 9:47.
Not sure what you saw, I replayed it a few times but couldn't see anything at either time point. I only have a small monitor though.
I saw it too, ran straight to the comments to see if anyone else did
Nice catch....saw the black stuff but not the etching. Thats probably the last time someone was in there.
There’s another shape too wish he’d have shown it better
Triangle n x or some
You guys are nuts! I get anxious just watching this.
Some of these veey tigh spots that you guys crawl thru are insane, i don't know how you do it. And also as someone else mentioned getting back out without getting lost. Amazing footage and journeys. Thanks for sharing.
@ActionAdventureTwins @6:03 Did someone say Mike or is that just a disembodied voice?
@9:54 i see "1921" etched in the rock. that square bit may have been man made.
You guys always have a good positive attitude down there, while I'm at home thinking about wild animals, natural gases and slabs of falling rock... probably a good indication that I'm not cut-out for underground exploration. =D
Demolishing Ranch is a UA-cam channel I've watched for years. Matt bought an abounded mansion and now lives in it and it is beautiful. He recently bought an abandoned Ranch and it has lots of Caves. Matt would love explore it with some experts. If your near Texas , hit him up he would love it.
I really hope they do this
They are supposedly in contact with him
Old news. People were blowing them up about this a couple videos ago and they've since talked to him, but nothings come of it yet.
@@R3TR0R4V3 oh I didn’t know this. Thank you for letting me know this is exciting news
ha I want that collab to happen sooo bad too.. I want to imagine that Matt and his team working on the ranch at some point will be able to focus on clearing debris from the blast that revealed a passage. It would be amazing and slightly terrifying to find that right below their feet sits a 10s of stories domed drop into the river cave previously explored. I just hope the blasting that have done / will do isn't such a seismic disturbance that it collapses most or all of it before they can visit, hope also when they do it will still be safe.
You guys are so totally nuts its awesome. Thanks for taking us all along with you.
I got stuck in a cave once. My body was wedged between rocks with no ground under my feet.. aka GET ME THE F OUTTA HERE!
friends finally made it to the cave and heard me and pulled me out. Colorado rockies
Glad you made it out! That is truly frightening.
@@johnnewton8017
Thank you 🫡
I probably would have died. Every little move I made wedged me further in till it was hard to breath. I like how these dudes don’t cave alone.
Nope!
so nice, guys! good job! i would really enjoy doing this same route, collect some samples throughout to do some analysis and record and take some pictures... this cave is a treasure! much to learn from places like this...
Matt with Demolition Ranch needs some professional cave spelunkers for his new property. Great opportunity for another video to an audience of 11.4 million subscribers 👍
Stay safe guys!
We heard! We are there! Mineral dude already almost died in the flooded cave trying to swim under a ledge
@@ActionAdventureTwinshey, just wanted to tell you, there's a hip bone at 15:56 mark of the video.
Why would there be a bone so deep in there? A bone that big... Makes no sense, no large animal can crouch under like a human can...
Is it a human bone maybe??
Can't wait to see y'all in the Texas cave with Matt!
Glad the mineral dude is okay.
I'm in Maine, and there are tons of secret caves around my house.
😊
Just saw those videos before this one. I am amazed how quickly he regained his composure from that incident. Glad everyone seemed okay at the end though.
@@SensiProductionzBlindDogVideos washed down who knows how long ago.
They're not professionals
Can anyone explain what the hell that is on the right hand side at 13:38 ? It's bright Red and doesn't look natural.
Thats creepy as f***
@9:55 looks like someone wrote 1921 and something else maybe starting with a cursive J. Very cool find. Someone certainly spent a lot of time and money in that cave. Also looks like it might have been back filled a bit.
Came here to say this myself, figured someone else would've caught it.. cool to see it was (apparently) explored over a hundred years ago
Pause at 9:54. You can see what looks like numbers on the formation (bottom left). Maybe it says 1921?? Hard to see for sure.
Love your videos guys. Puts me way outside my comfort zone, but i'm in awe of you both. Spotted a couple of things that i wondered if anyone else saw. 9:53 looks like the date '1921' scratched into the rock face and 15:55 looks like a large animal bone on the floor.
I saw that date at 9:53 as well. Looks like something else might have been scratched next to it too. I thought I saw a guano pile near there as well.
I came here looking to see if anyone saw that at 15:55 too!
Yes,, me too Deffo looks like a big shoulder blade.
Has anyone figured out what the pipes are for or who put them there? The only explanation I can think of is they were tapping a water source in the back that used to be deeper than it is currently today
ha ha i just commented on the same thing before i read the comments.
What is the little electronic “beep beep beep” I hear in all the videos? Is that some kind of gas reader or camera or something? 11:47
That was really cool! Too bad it ended... Have you guys ever beento the Lost sea in Tennessee? The largest underground lake. You ever been to Carlsbad Caverns? That one is amazing. You need to come out west and check it all out! Great video guys! Do youfind caves this way very often? Noticing an opening? Id say it was well worth it! Thanks Edward for sharing it. I cant wait to see where you go next!
We all are currently out west 😊
@@Underground_AdventuresCome to CO, I know all the caves and mines.
@@thesixstringshooterTexas is currently keeping us busy. 😊
@@Underground_Adventures I know some cavers from there. Great stuff man have fun.
come to Nevada...🙃
I got so anxious when you dudes start crawling in unknown places. But holy shiii love the videos. Stay safe bois!
Being a rockhound, I wouldn't get 5 feet into that passage before I'd go nuts looking at, well, just about every cobble around me... Thanks for the crawl, guys👍
I been hunting the gravel on their videos. There has to be artifacts in there. Did you see the bones? 15:58
What state are you from? I rockhound here in Pennsylvania. Mostly for Quartz. Old mines are pretty well known for their Quartz here. In fields where amish live you can find amythyst and smokey Quartz when they til fields. But there is tons of places in PA for different rocks.
@@QuartzMatrixed ua-cam.com/video/AfxviNAguZ8/v-deo.html
I've been getting more into rockhounding. At 13:37 his light hits something that glows red, I wonder what could do that
Same
Another thing that trips me out is how surfaces deep within don’t see natural light; so the flashlights ,albeit unnatural, maybe have some sort of reaction to microorganisms on surfaces ?
I'm claustrophobic as hell, but love rocks and natural caves...thanks for the opportunity!
Was getting claustrophobic just watching you guys on UA-cam.
Very cool video! 💯
Is that writing on the rock at 9:54? Looks a bit like a scribbled 1921 to me. Edit: And whatever that is at 15:58 looks like a piece of bone, or maybe moose antler or something.
I was just gonna comment about the "1921" writing. Weird! Interested to know more about it.
1921
Yeah I noticed him crawling over a "scapula" bone aka sholderblade of maybe a deer
I noticed the "1921" too and came to comment...You beat me to it 🤣👍👏
@@garrettmillsap Yeah I saw the scapula too. Thought the same thing,
What brand laundry detergent do they use? They could probably get an endorsement.
I really love it when you say it's getting tighter or I can stand up now because sometimes the perspective in the camera is a little bit squed
Skewed but yes I agree.
I have trouble breathing just by watching you crawl through there
Did you see that writing on the rock at 9:53 ?
Looks like it says “1921”
Good eye
I've been watching a lot of these videos lately, in a slightly masochistic way as I am very claustrophobic and you could not pay me to go caving, but weirdly I think it has had a somewhat numbing effect on me through exposure! That is, until I learned about 1) Floyd Collin and the Sand Cave incident, and 2) more recently (and possibly more horribly) John Jones in Nutty Putty Cave, and OH BOY these have traumatised me anew. Jones especially - being trapped upside down until your heart and lungs give in and you die, Jeez, I feel sick just thinking about it!!
Anyway all that to say, take care and be safe guys! I hope nothing bad happens to you 😰
The John Jones cave story has haunted me for years. It will never leave my brain. The absolute tragedy of everything surrounding it. 😭
@@JamieandMike Same, I think about it all the time. Absolutely horrible way to die ☹️☹️☹️
Watching you guys crawl through those tight spots makes my anxiety kick in. Idk how you do it. I would never in a million years, and I've explored hundreds of tunnels, caves, abandoned homes and buildings, etc,
Did you see that writing in the wall around 9:52 ? Looks like a date 1951 or 1921
"This is what separates the men from the boys" - "I might be a boy"... probably the funniest thing i've heard all week🤣
This is AWSOME. Y’all are crazy. Love it. 👏🏻👏🏻
It gives me mild anxiety just to watch the video. Hats off to you guys for being able to squeeze in those tight places. I would not want to do that although exploring caves without the cramming would be good. .
I love your videos! It reminds me of my youth. Funny because I grew up claustrophobic. Very! Watching you guys, explore and seeing the beauty underneath us. Is amazing. I look forward to all your videos now. Ty!
I would love to do cave exploring now. Unfortunately I'm too old, but I wish I would've tried it though when I had that passion.
My dudes - the crickets, the weirdo pipes, the noises. What an excellently spooky video for Halloween.
This shit REALLY DOES separate the MEN from the boys … had my heart RACING!!! I was like PLEASE GO BACK! 😂 I didn’t wanna see y’all go any further tbh…. WILD!!!
Still very curious what those pipes were for and where it led. Who would build something like that and for what purpose? Had to go through som extreme measures for that. Had to be worth the while right?
My theory: the cave was an entrance to the water table. Instead drilling a well to it, someone just pumped the water from the entrance. I'm thinking that it receded over time so they added extensions to the pipes. Maybe it just receded so much that they called it quits and left all of the building materials.
It was an old mine. The pipes were for compressed air because they used air hammers 100 years ago to tunnel with. They imploded the entrance and it collapsed over time, reopening and exposing all the natural veins.
I swear it's the camera's perspective, but I'm always thinking, "Nope, it's closed off.", "A CAT couldn't get through there!", and there ya go, scrubbing along....lol I have no idea how you have the nuts to squeeze through those places, without panicking. Maybe it's camera perspective, but FUCK NO!!! lol I'm semi-claustrophobic, in that sense.
I love videos from people who do things I'd NEVER do. ;) Thanks. You offer us wusses a cool view into Earth from your perspective.
Congrats on 600K! Glad to have recently subscribed!
Why didn't you take a closer look at the brick wall? There could have been another more well used passage that the previous plunderers sealed off. I'd suggest carrying a ice pick of decent weight to see what the layers under the surface of the cave looks like.
been binge watching your videos for 3 hours & now you posted this one just in time before bed
no sleep today
when the hell do you go to sleep? It's 5am for me

@@rebekahritchie90128:55pm Sydney. Hello fellow Aussie 🖐🏻
I absolutely love your content and your exuberance is infectious...but you guys make me feel a bit anxious and nervous!! lol...Great content! Thank you!😀
Only Mario would do this pipe job.
😂
Non union pipe fitters
What is the writing or markings on the upper left hand side of the cave wall at 8:32 ? It looks like some of the calcite or mud or whatever it is has actually flowed over part of it to the very far left and turned to stone! It might not be writing but SOMETHING has etched shapes into the surface of that stone!
At 8:40 it appears it might just be the edges of the flow stone that is somehow turned a very light color... Not sure though, what do you think?
Imagine at the end of the cave you see a Door that says Keep Out, and you hear weird sounds on the other side of it. Would they walk in ? I think Yes. They got big sparkly balls just like those stones.
😂
My claustrophobia is so triggered by watching you guys..What you do is what i love to see and experience the most..Even though I could never do what you do..These adventures are awesome!!!
Looked like someone scratched "1927" and maybe something else onto one of the rocks at 9:54, wonder if you're the first people in here since then.
As usual I enjoyed it immensely! You boys always get my old heart to just a thumping! Thank you!
You guys need to talk with Matt from demolition ranch or off the ranch UA-cam channels. He’s got a couple caves on his property that need exploring.
Ride the murdercycle ?😊
You people make me sick! I love it and can't stop watching your content.
Dwarves. Dwarves laid the pipes. 😂😂😂
9:54 bottom of the screen. it says "1921" and there are some shapes. any idea what the shapes were?
9.54 mark .... it looks like 1929 carved in rock
11:00 nah man, thats beyond tight. id be so out
I know yall know what your doing but damn. This still seems risky if you guys actually just find these caves without knowing anything about them. The one in this video looks like it is a riverbed with all the small stones and rubble on the floor that doesn't look like if fell from the ceiling. I would be worried about this thing filling up with water and since it is so shallow it might take only a couple of inches to trap you. This is why I cant go caving in wet caves. I'm so paranoid about water and caves put together.
There's no way that anything could get me in there except gold!
Can you imagine how bad it sucked to plumb that pipe in there.
Man had to have oxygen w him
I find it so incredibly cool that in the entirety of human existence, there may have been you two and a handful of other people who have been in places like this- and that they were there hundreds of years ago for whatever reason with whatever equipment. So cool.
Those sparkles are so cool...so glittery🤩....it's got to be way more awesome seen in person😁
You always amaze me Edward, you push it to the limit to explore, keep on exploring...😎
I went in a small limestone cave that had solid shells in the eroded walls was very cool and yeah kinda sparkly some are awesome but I've been in some boring ones too
The amount of times these guys say "it's getting really bad" and then _KEEP GOING_ gives me knots🥶😅
Ah....nothing like a little claustrophobia with my morning coffee and toast...YUM...thanks and safe travels down in the depths...........👽👽
13:36 is that Red a reflection of light, or evidence of Cave Bigfoot???
At the entrance that large valve is a pressure regulator! It drops pressure from industrial pressure, 110 psi, down to domestic pressure, 60 to 80 psi, so toilets don't just keep running.
Interesting, could you elaborate further?
Looked like a Large gate valve tap to me, just missing the crank handle/knob from the top.
Here I am again watching videos I don't seem to finish. You boys have balls of steel for sure!
