@@YotaguyJosh I hate when people don't disclose cave's or mines .Im new to this exploring hobby, and I live in AZ so it's good because there is thousands and thousands of mines but it's bad because there are a couple things that make it more dangerous than other places. Anyways my point is it saves my ass if the professionals with all the equipment got down and find out the air is bad or a hundred other reasons that I would say nope not going there 😂 there was a awesome website that gave you all the names and what material was mined . and if it was mapped out , plus a difficulty level

Amazing how you can walk through the woods and see a little hole and go into the hole only to find an amazing cave that seems to go on for a long way down and out. Makes you wonder how many other such caves exist that haven't been discovered yet...
Surely tens of thousands minimum across the US. I always wonder how many caves are just underneath us at any given moment, caves that just haven’t quite yet breached the ground so we can find them

This video is INSANE! I have claustrophobia horribly bad and I literally couldn't breathe at some points of the video. I can't imagine what it must be like to discover what's beyond each drop.Thanks for taking us along bro.
I had to give up watching it - before 2 minutes in - because I felt so claustrophobic - and I don't think of myself as being claustrophobic - but this did it for me.
I finally climbed a big old growth tree and I'd be willing to climb a steep cliff, but I just cannot conquer my fear of going underground. I'll be buried in the dirt one day, but I am not eager to go there ahead of time. I am having anxiety just watching this! I sure admire you for doing this.
That cave is GNARLY!! how do you guy's climb when your balls are so HUGE??? beautiful formations, fossils, cave pearls, a geo cashe,this one has it all!!! I've been a subscriber for a bit and I am never disappointed! stay chilly guys!!
When it comes to going under ground in a cave, I have no balls. knowing that you made this video lets me know you survived the exploration. I get chills just thinking about getting trapped in a cave. You dudes are crazy, yet I love seeing all the cool things under are feet that you bring to life. I use to be a fossil rock hound in my younger days, and just loved seeing some of the things you discovered I am so glad there are crazy adventurous folks like you to bring this wonderful stuff to all of us who lack the ability to do this kind of exploring on our own. Thank You so much for this GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!
Ive been Geocaching for 14 years... but that has to be the coolest cache ive seen by far. ive done some 5/5 caches... but this is like a 10/10 haha. Epic footage and beautiful formations. thanks for the journey and sharing your experience!
I love how much respect you guys have for these caves. The only thing that stops you is when you risk damaging anything, when you guys turned around to not mess with the cave pearls I was so impressed
Bro, you guys keep showing me things I never knew were possible under our feet. I've watched alot of cave exploring vids but you keep blowing my mind. Much love from East Tennessee.
@@Calebjoyemusic Kentucky is where it’s at! Not counting mammoth or carter there’s 100’s of virgin caves no one has ever explored fully or even discovered yet if you’re into finding new ground
Honestly it's insane how deep such a small hole opens into. Like imagine just hikinh not paying attention viewing the landscape. Then BOOM, you're hundreds of feet in the earth. That's just crazy.
@oriraykai3610 Right, especially on old properties. In the Midwest if you come across a couple fieldstone rubble that could of been a base from a structure keep your eyes down and look for more stone where the long grass, shrubs grew. Boards in time will rot and in time a thin layer of dirt and weeds will grow on them. I've come across a couple and I will stack stone around them to make it visible.
Amazing formations! Incredible how alive a cave is with tiny amounts of minerals in the water dripping in creating a natural art gallery in the pitch black. The cave doesn't care if anyone ever sees it. You guys are very fortunate to do what you do.
I have been enjoying your cave videos for about 6 months now. This was such an awesome cave you found! Thank you, gentleman, for what you share with us “normal” folks. I have viewed other cave channels, but yours is the BEST! Why? No music, no blasphemy (you say, “Oh my gosh!”), no excessive banter, perfect commentary, great camera work, great editing. I watch these with my 17yo son and you got this old guy yelling, “SKETCH!!!” all the time and my son laughs. Thanks again! Be safe! PS - I know these caves are not that old, but I fantasize about you guys stumbling upon a dinosaur carcass! SKETCH!!!!!!
Thanks for not giving locations. These are the kinds of things that should be known to those who seek and build the skills and respect to properly explore. I’m the same with other outdoor locations of interest. These days, you blast locations on social and you get 100 Sprinter Vans full of Vlogger/influencer D Bags trying to commodify and extract the fun from everything by turning everything into “consumables”.
1000% agree, not to mention all the looters who never put in the hard work, but destroy everything and all the benefits for others, and all the rarities in these caves. I love to see a respectful group enter these places
This one isn't easy to find by any means. Caves like this will turn you into a consumeable lol. I'm glad they found it. I was always curious about what was over there. Not to worry about 100 vans. You'd have to be extremely observant and have a word of mouth guide to even consider attempting to find this one. Also camping isn't allowed in the parking area. Vloggers would find themselves with nowhere to stay. No worries. They won't even be able to find hotel rooms available anywhere within 50 miles. Even if they stayed in the nearest large city, it's a 2 hour drive and a one hour hike. There's alot of details to consider about this one, many of which will have retreated back to their vehicles once they realized that they are covered with a couple hundred ticks.
@@dennismcginnis I this 2 bit? I have listened to podcasts that detail the incredible danger of this cave, trying to find pics/ vids to see it. Rusty Riley’s story of it gives me incredible respect for these amazing explorers.
Very cool man, thanks for doing a good job documenting and taking all of us old folks with you. I used to be a badass back in the day. Old people can't descend and ascend a couple of hundred feet in one day anymore but we still like to go on these adventures. Thanks for taking us along from the camera view. It is greatly appreciated.
I have to admit I was getting anxious for you all to exit. Then again, this was my first time watching. As I watched, seeing how respectful you were for each other, the cave and its contents; I could tell thus wasn't your first rodeo. Great job and great watch!
Awesome video! I've been in love with caves and mining since I was six..70 years ago. My dad mined uranium near Moab and I camped with him on the claims and would wandered..my favorite find was dinosaur bones laying on the ground near one of the mines..almost lost my bearings finding my way back to camp..pretty scary!
I just happened to find these videos and gotta say you guys have balls of steel if never be able to do that but it’s beyond epic to witness, absolutely stunning footage
This makes me think about a sinkhole that opened in a neighbor's yard. For a short time a hole opened so dark no flashlight could light anything in it. A side collapsed and the hole was hidden again, and eventually the sinkhole was filled over. Since then, how many people have walked over it, completely unaware of the possibly large cave below their feet. More interestingly, how many times do we all walk over caves maybe as big and cool as this one, without a clue of what lies beneath. This is one of my favorite videos you've made.
Another great video! Sometimes when I watch your videos, I just keep saying, "Oh my God!" because it's so magnificent. One of the things that makes your videos so good is the LIGHTING. You guys light caves up so they can really be seen. Too many caving videos consist more or less of only the spot of light from the flashlight moving over the details of a scene that can otherwise not be seen. I really appreciate this
Man these videos are quickly becoming some of my favorite on UA-cam - you guys reflect the same kind of passion I expect I would have but have the ability to go there which I don't have - it's like I'm getting glimpses into some of the sweetest parts of another life I could have lived.... as strange as that sounds lol
So amazing that that tiny little hole in the earth opens up into these enormous caverns and the most amazing cave formations I've ever seen! That giant pure white stalagmite was just incredible, never seen anything like it! And I gotta say, it'd be hard not to pocket some of those cave pearls. 😉 It's nice to see how respectful you guys are towards the formations though. I love these videos so much. Keep on discoverin'! 😄
This might just be my favorite cave you guys have explored. Awesome video, i appreciate you showing the fossils and cool formations. Stay safe down there!
It is absolutely astonishing that there exists vast spaces as gigantic and beautiful as this underneath everyone’s feet and only a rare few even know they are there!!! I mean who would ever guess by looking at the small opening in the forest floor that there would be this massive, beautiful and fascinating space down there?!? 😱 Cheers
Kind of scares me when thinking about that. Could be standing over a giant, deep asf cavern with only a few inches of rock of a false floor keeping you from plunging down. Sink holes seem to be wide spread ☠️
@@joshrubio5285 Ah, yes, there is that and there is the even more scary idea: with unbelievably vast spaces such as this one more than likely everywhere down there, who knows what type of creature or creatures may live down there 😱🤔🤷🏼♀️ Cheers
That is crazy!!! Must have been sooo fun finding more n more chambers!! Glad to see you were very respectful of the cave and left it mostly untouched and not disturbed! Thx for doing what u did so others that can't do what u do were able to see this incredible cave!!!!
Man I've been loving the content! Found you guys last week and can't stop watching! This cave was super insane and just so surreal! Appreciate your guys attitude about respecting the caves! Can't wait to see more adventures!
imagine how fun this is as a kid discovering a hole in the middle of some hills for the first time, even though I might not be alive after going in in excitement, I still want to experience that kind of fun as a kid with full adventure curiosity
These videos always make me wish a dev studio would make a full caving experience videogame where you're an explorer in a fantasy world delving caves and finding ancient relics and ruins. The caves are based on real caves like in videos here and on Caveman's channel. (Giant caves vs claustrophobic caves), but you mix in fantastical environments as well. No combat at all necessary, just a game fully about exploration and finding interesting things, from magical utilities, to things that you can use for Base Building to build your own settlement on the surface, which itself wouldn't be lacking for exotic scenery. A 100% peaceful game with no violence needed. Explore. Discover. Build. Create. Navigate caves, climb mountains, solve ruin puzzles (Climbing and caving itself being like a puzzle itself, in where you can fit, where you can safely move next, etc). If they nail that, they could include Hunting and Agriculture as DLC, or part of the base game if they think they can do it easily enough to not need to wait for extra funds via dlc'ing it.
@@MacGuffin1234 No. It'd be something in the ball park of Tomb Raider - Death Stranding - Breath of the Wild, and Some open world games. But cutting combat, the devs focus on the mechanics of exploration. They'd have to pioneer a lot of tech for how to do caving right, it'd require a lot of physics, feedback, and camera tricks to pull off crawls and such. By all means include combat, but it shouldn't be the focus. If there is combat, it shouldn't be RPG-like combat, rather, it should be Monster Hunter-like combat-> a focus on the occasional boss monsters.
Twins, your videos are incredible, this cave is unbelievable. However, what you are doing is incredibly dangerous. Please be careful because accidents happen so easily. On another note, the geology of this cavern is so interesting. I am in the drilling business and we drill oil wells that are between 15000 and 25000 feet deep. The drill cuttings come up and we inspect them for traces of hydrocarbons and sometimes find polished looking stones which look exactly like these pearls in your video. Other times we lose circulation and all of our drilling mud disappears into the hole. I have pumped more than 200,000 gallons of drilling mud into a lost circulation zone, and it never returns. There must be giant caves deep underground that are so big, we could never fill them up with fluids. The zones are called "lost circulation zones" and you guys are definitely in one!
I used to explore this cave back in highschool with 2 friends of mine. It was known as the Medford cave. A man named Buddy Medford lived in the area and had discovered it and mapped a small portion of it. This cave is much larger than you guys realize. We crawled through the gravel river bed and it dropped down into a pretty decent sized body of water. On the far side of that there is another opening but it dead ends there. At 23:00 we explored that area, it opens up to a whole other area just as big as what you explored on the other side. Let me know if you want more info on it.
Yeah that would be great to hear some more about it! If you got Facebook or Instagram and could message us or shoot us an email at eddyadventuresguy@gmail.com we definitely want to go send that gravel crawl and see what's on the other side
@@ciararespect4296Well get this, after the gravel and Middle Earth crawls theres another crawl that goes even deeper called Satan's A-hole and you can actually see the molten lava and hear screams, I didn't go any further
I have no desire to explore caves and really never found it interesting to even watch videos of cave exploring but I have to say coming across this and watching you guys work your way down was exciting and very interesting you guys are awesome and respectful of the things you come across its guys like you that could find the next big hidden treasure great work guys
Thanks for showing us this cave. I'm glad you made it out safe. You three are insane you had me on the edge of my seat this whole time anxiety through the roof .
I don't know. Something about this video/cave leaves me in complete wonder about what is under us, down those little holes. Without you guys, we would never see these truly magic places. Thank you and be safe.
With the insane, otherworldly and variety of formations in this cave, this has to be better than any other video I've seen, even the ones with crystals.
Not only was this a great video, but it also shows the same spirit that built our great country. Fear or no fear, these men were so determined to find the bottom and or the end of the cave that they risk all to make it there. We need more men like this to keep our country great. Thanks guys!
I don't understand why you compare this to building our country? cave exploration didn't build this country. every country in the world has had great explorers risking it all to see the most unexplored parts. It is just called history and eventual discovery of things over time. this video has nothing to do with "keeping our country great" people have been doing this for fun for a long long time. your comment would have been much better if you just said "this was a great video" no need to project propagandized terms onto a simple cave video that somehow relates to keeping the country great.
@@kylek6708 he was talking about the spirit and determination, not caves... You totally missed the point and why wouldn't you want your country to be great? Would you prefer it poor and full of nihilist sentiment?
@@kylek6708 you sound like an angry self-loathing Iibturd way to ruin his nice post tho btw nationalism is not propaganda its perfectly natural and good for everyone. feel better about yourself soon tho because clearly your mind is not right and is in a dark place
Correct me if i'm wrong, but fellow "James" i believe he's called? Why did James went away without expressing loud and clear to you guys his intentions were? Because i did hear the main narrator ((dont know his name im so sorry)) say at 12m42 second "Let's go see where james going" or something that sounded like that.. Even if it's only 3 or 4 feet away.. even if it's pretty obvious where your partner his and that you are confident everything is fine.. Never..! should ANYONE venture away from their group without a safety Line watching your back in that case.. It takes only one stupid slippery step whilst being out of sight from the rest of the group for you to randomly and unexpectedly disappear somewhere within the abyss. If you drop your light or if that fall breaks whatever lighting equipment you are wearing and thus taking away any reference points for your friends to try and save you. Sounds dramatic.. maybe.. im getting older! but take a second a rethink about those glossy pillars you saw.. and the slippery slopes along the walls everywhere.. Slip! Boom! Arrgh! Byebye. Be careful guys, Speak your intentions louder in unknown territory. 😊
you can slip into the abyss even in sight of everyone and with someone right next to you, especially if you are climbing with no rope, which they all did plenty of, and chances are if you fall into the abyss far below the sight of anyones lantern, youre a gonner anyway, not that they shouldnt try to get you, just saying.
While I lay here warm and safe in my bed, there’s incredible ppl line you guys deep inside the earth making these killer videos for us to watch! One of the COOLEST caves thank you so much! I so wish I’d done more of this when I was your age.
I'm very scared of deep or high places. How do you get so brave going into the unknown? It's crazy !! I watch your video's peeking through my fingers and sometimes just listening. OMG !
Saludos! What a cavern, you guys had to be so stoked for climbing down into that hole! That is what I would call a true "gallery cave"! Great find! When I was still quite young and in high school, way back in the '80s, one of my spelunking buddies who also had the same period art class as I, he was ever on this crazed campaign to make all these bumper stickers that had stalagtites and stalagmites silk screened around the edges of the sticker along with these two simple words printed largely across each sticker's center; "Jesus Caves"....and he made them by the hundreds! I am fairly certain the only reason he was producing them was to liberally affix them to the porcelain interior of every public urinal across the county in which we lived, every public restroom seemed fair game.... I must have pissed upon those damned stickers a hundred times or more over the next decade until one day, both him and those stickers were mysteriously not anywhere to be found anymore.... ....and he never persomally offered me a single damned one! Cheers!
Love watching you guys. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Beautiful formations what a surprise to see how big a small hole turns out way down under our feet.
Never watched you guys before but so glad I stumbled on your channel. I have done some spelunking but never with so many vertical faces. You guys are gutsy. I can’t believe someone has been that deep before and leave a clue box.
That's an awesome cave I hope you guys keep staying safe watching each other's backs and It's refreshing to see people taking the integrity of the cave and respect to the cave to the higher levels adventurers yes admirers totally but responsible and respectful as well love your work keep it going
Ahahaha! That is one of the most downright ludicrous places to find a geocache I’ve ever seen. That’s like, the polar opposite of the one I found randomly on one of the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Black Buttes near soda springs, ca. yours is under an inverted mountain, kinda. Also, those cave pearls look like corn. Cave corn? Ew… that sounds….unclean XD

Wow - I'd love to explore stuff like this, but I have no experience with climbing rope and rigging (at least for climbing anyway...) Where did you learn to climb so you could explore areas like this?? Thanks for the inspiration! I don't think we have anything like this in MN!!! If you had gone down any further, you may have awoken the Balrog!! This place looks like something out of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel!!!!
there is a ton of information about climbing out there. we have learned a lot of what we know from reading and watching videos of people climbing. we also learn a lot from the other people we climb with. www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/john-ackerman-caves-minnesota/
I assumed, when I first stumbled upon your videos, you were just a bunch of kids who didn’t have any respect for nature. And, now, I enjoy seeing these lost places and the fact you go out of your way to make as small of an impact on nature. I’m a skydiver, I’m comfortable climbing under a helicopter, jumping out of a hot air balloon, climbing onto a wing…but, I’ll stick to the sky. Enjoy these videos! Thanks!
This one was greatest from all your vids I've watched to date. Huge halls and features. You could play some Mussorgsky in the bg. :) What I miss is more complete exploration and some drawings of these caves. I know you're doing it just for sheer fun of it - it's just me.

Ive been Geocaching for 14 years... but that has to be the coolest cache ive seen by far. ive done some 5/5 caches... but this is like a 10/10 haha. Epic footage and beautiful formations. thanks for the journey and sharing your experience!
The crazy thing is that there was a cache... is there any more remote places? Crazy ^^
I love how much respect you guys have for these caves. The only thing that stops you is when you risk damaging anything, when you guys turned around to not mess with the cave pearls I was so impressed
These guys are very respectful ❤
Same aye in my mind I'm like whats the big deal??
Bro, you guys keep showing me things I never knew were possible under our feet. I've watched alot of cave exploring vids but you keep blowing my mind. Much love from East Tennessee.
I bet you have good caves in east Tennessee!
@@Calebjoyemusic Kentucky is where it’s at! Not counting mammoth or carter there’s 100’s of virgin caves no one has ever explored fully or even discovered yet if you’re into finding new ground
Honestly it's insane how deep such a small hole opens into. Like imagine just hikinh not paying attention viewing the landscape. Then BOOM, you're hundreds of feet in the earth. That's just crazy.
there are abandoned covered wells in the woods you can easily fall through too
@@shakti666 and uncovered. People used to disappear on NC and it was thought that an uncovered, abandoned well got them.
My thoughts exactly. You can pretty well guarantee people have gone missing like that unfortunately
@oriraykai3610 Right, especially on old properties. In the Midwest if you come across a couple fieldstone rubble that could of been a base from a structure keep your eyes down and look for more stone where the long grass, shrubs grew. Boards in time will rot and in time a thin layer of dirt and weeds will grow on them. I've come across a couple and I will stack stone around them to make it visible.
This is one of the wildest caves I've seen y'all in. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for taking us on your adventure ! What an enchanted deep hole, your guys found a water fall the source of life. Just amazing !
Did lots of caving when I was younger. Always wanted to do vertical caves never got the chance! These videos take up the slack. Thanks guys!
Amazing formations! Incredible how alive a cave is with tiny amounts of minerals in the water dripping in creating a natural art gallery in the pitch black. The cave doesn't care if anyone ever sees it. You guys are very fortunate to do what you do.
"Making a art gallery in pitch black" I've never thought it about it like that before hmmm yeah yer right cool.
Well Said!
I have been enjoying your cave videos for about 6 months now. This was such an awesome cave you found! Thank you, gentleman, for what you share with us “normal” folks. I have viewed other cave channels, but yours is the BEST! Why? No music, no blasphemy (you say, “Oh my gosh!”), no excessive banter, perfect commentary, great camera work, great editing. I watch these with my 17yo son and you got this old guy yelling, “SKETCH!!!” all the time and my son laughs. Thanks again! Be safe!
PS - I know these caves are not that old, but I fantasize about you guys stumbling upon a dinosaur carcass! SKETCH!!!!!!
The crinoid fossils are older than any dinosaurs😊
Thanks for not giving locations. These are the kinds of things that should be known to those who seek and build the skills and respect to properly explore. I’m the same with other outdoor locations of interest. These days, you blast locations on social and you get 100 Sprinter Vans full of Vlogger/influencer D Bags trying to commodify and extract the fun from everything by turning everything into “consumables”.
1000% agree, not to mention all the looters who never put in the hard work, but destroy everything and all the benefits for others, and all the rarities in these caves. I love to see a respectful group enter these places
This one isn't easy to find by any means. Caves like this will turn you into a consumeable lol. I'm glad they found it. I was always curious about what was over there. Not to worry about 100 vans. You'd have to be extremely observant and have a word of mouth guide to even consider attempting to find this one. Also camping isn't allowed in the parking area. Vloggers would find themselves with nowhere to stay. No worries. They won't even be able to find hotel rooms available anywhere within 50 miles. Even if they stayed in the nearest large city, it's a 2 hour drive and a one hour hike. There's alot of details to consider about this one, many of which will have retreated back to their vehicles once they realized that they are covered with a couple hundred ticks.
@@dennismcginnis I this 2 bit? I have listened to podcasts that detail the incredible danger of this cave, trying to find pics/ vids to see it. Rusty Riley’s story of it gives me incredible respect for these amazing explorers.
And they throw their trash everywhere.
This is like a claustrophobic nightmare, I'd never go down there
Very cool man, thanks for doing a good job documenting and taking all of us old folks with you. I used to be a badass back in the day. Old people can't descend and ascend a couple of hundred feet in one day anymore but we still like to go on these adventures. Thanks for taking us along from the camera view. It is greatly appreciated.
I have to admit I was getting anxious for you all to exit. Then again, this was my first time watching. As I watched, seeing how respectful you were for each other, the cave and its contents; I could tell thus wasn't your first rodeo. Great job and great watch!
Awesome video! I've been in love with caves and mining since I was six..70 years ago. My dad mined uranium near Moab and I camped with him on the claims and would wandered..my favorite find was dinosaur bones laying on the ground near one of the mines..almost lost my bearings finding my way back to camp..pretty scary!
I hope you plan a return visit. That was amazing and I so appreciate that you didn't step on those beautiful pearls on the bottom of the cave.
I just happened to find these videos and gotta say you guys have balls of steel if never be able to do that but it’s beyond epic to witness, absolutely stunning footage
Man this was insane! thanks guys for taking me on your adventure! 😅🤗🤘🏽❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🤘🏽💚🌱
This makes me think about a sinkhole that opened in a neighbor's yard. For a short time a hole opened so dark no flashlight could light anything in it. A side collapsed and the hole was hidden again, and eventually the sinkhole was filled over. Since then, how many people have walked over it, completely unaware of the possibly large cave below their feet. More interestingly, how many times do we all walk over caves maybe as big and cool as this one, without a clue of what lies beneath. This is one of my favorite videos you've made.
Was it Mel's Hole? 😄 (old coast to coast am reference)
Thanks again guys for another amazing video! Thanks for taking us along in your adventures!
Another great video! Sometimes when I watch your videos, I just keep saying, "Oh my God!" because it's so magnificent. One of the things that makes your videos so good is the LIGHTING. You guys light caves up so they can really be seen. Too many caving videos consist more or less of only the spot of light from the flashlight moving over the details of a scene that can otherwise not be seen. I really appreciate this
Man these videos are quickly becoming some of my favorite on UA-cam - you guys reflect the same kind of passion I expect I would have but have the ability to go there which I don't have - it's like I'm getting glimpses into some of the sweetest parts of another life I could have lived.... as strange as that sounds lol
So amazing that that tiny little hole in the earth opens up into these enormous caverns and the most amazing cave formations I've ever seen! That giant pure white stalagmite was just incredible, never seen anything like it! And I gotta say, it'd be hard not to pocket some of those cave pearls. 😉 It's nice to see how respectful you guys are towards the formations though.
I love these videos so much. Keep on discoverin'! 😄
This might just be my favorite cave you guys have explored. Awesome video, i appreciate you showing the fossils and cool formations.
Stay safe down there!
It’s amazing that the insignificant looking little hole in the woods ends up being this huge beautiful cave. Great find guys!
True
It is absolutely astonishing that there exists vast spaces as gigantic and beautiful as this underneath everyone’s feet and only a rare few even know they are there!!! I mean who would ever guess by looking at the small opening in the forest floor that there would be this massive, beautiful and fascinating space down there?!? 😱
Cheers
Kind of scares me when thinking about that. Could be standing over a giant, deep asf cavern with only a few inches of rock of a false floor keeping you from plunging down. Sink holes seem to be wide spread ☠️
@@joshrubio5285
Ah, yes, there is that and there is the even more scary idea: with unbelievably vast spaces such as this one more than likely everywhere down there, who knows what type of creature or creatures may live down there 😱🤔🤷🏼♀️
Cheers
@Kristi McGowan/ Darko’s Cellar Door Probably Trogladites but you never know lol. Cheers back at you Kristi
Not under mine .I live in south NJersey.its sand
Nice place to store a dead body 🤫
These videos really push your fear to the limits. from deep dives to tiny tunnels, they can send a chill down your spine.
Definitely......
The fact there are anchors already in place, show people do this more often than we think. Still props to these guys.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. I'm glad y'all are safe; so many of those areas looked incredibly unstable.
That is crazy!!! Must have been sooo fun finding more n more chambers!! Glad to see you were very respectful of the cave and left it mostly untouched and not disturbed! Thx for doing what u did so others that can't do what u do were able to see this incredible cave!!!!
Man I've been loving the content! Found you guys last week and can't stop watching! This cave was super insane and just so surreal! Appreciate your guys attitude about respecting the caves! Can't wait to see more adventures!
imagine how fun this is as a kid discovering a hole in the middle of some hills for the first time, even though I might not be alive after going in in excitement, I still want to experience that kind of fun as a kid with full adventure curiosity
This cave was incredible. Thanks for bringing us along.
These videos always make me wish a dev studio would make a full caving experience videogame where you're an explorer in a fantasy world delving caves and finding ancient relics and ruins.
The caves are based on real caves like in videos here and on Caveman's channel. (Giant caves vs claustrophobic caves), but you mix in fantastical environments as well.
No combat at all necessary, just a game fully about exploration and finding interesting things, from magical utilities, to things that you can use for Base Building to build your own settlement on the surface, which itself wouldn't be lacking for exotic scenery.
A 100% peaceful game with no violence needed. Explore. Discover. Build. Create. Navigate caves, climb mountains, solve ruin puzzles (Climbing and caving itself being like a puzzle itself, in where you can fit, where you can safely move next, etc).
If they nail that, they could include Hunting and Agriculture as DLC, or part of the base game if they think they can do it easily enough to not need to wait for extra funds via dlc'ing it.
No fantasy could copy the reality of this !
That would be pretty cool.
Minecraft on Peaceful Mode lmfao
@@MacGuffin1234 No. It'd be something in the ball park of Tomb Raider - Death Stranding - Breath of the Wild, and Some open world games.
But cutting combat, the devs focus on the mechanics of exploration. They'd have to pioneer a lot of tech for how to do caving right, it'd require a lot of physics, feedback, and camera tricks to pull off crawls and such.
By all means include combat, but it shouldn't be the focus.
If there is combat, it shouldn't be RPG-like combat, rather, it should be Monster Hunter-like combat-> a focus on the occasional boss monsters.
Outer Wilds fills some of those and is a great game.
Twins, your videos are incredible, this cave is unbelievable. However, what you are doing is incredibly dangerous. Please be careful because accidents happen so easily. On another note, the geology of this cavern is so interesting. I am in the drilling business and we drill oil wells that are between 15000 and 25000 feet deep. The drill cuttings come up and we inspect them for traces of hydrocarbons and sometimes find polished looking stones which look exactly like these pearls in your video. Other times we lose circulation and all of our drilling mud disappears into the hole. I have pumped more than 200,000 gallons of drilling mud into a lost circulation zone, and it never returns. There must be giant caves deep underground that are so big, we could never fill them up with fluids. The zones are called "lost circulation zones" and you guys are definitely in one!
woah what the heck, that was so unexpected to see a geocache that far down a cave. thats gotta be ranked a 5/5 difficulty terrain lol
I came here to make the same comment lol 😂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I used to explore this cave back in highschool with 2 friends of mine. It was known as the Medford cave. A man named Buddy Medford lived in the area and had discovered it and mapped a small portion of it. This cave is much larger than you guys realize. We crawled through the gravel river bed and it dropped down into a pretty decent sized body of water. On the far side of that there is another opening but it dead ends there. At 23:00 we explored that area, it opens up to a whole other area just as big as what you explored on the other side. Let me know if you want more info on it.
Yeah that would be great to hear some more about it! If you got Facebook or Instagram and could message us or shoot us an email at eddyadventuresguy@gmail.com we definitely want to go send that gravel crawl and see what's on the other side
@@ActionAdventureTwins will do!
I did the gravel crawl and it opens up into another room there's daemons goblins dwarves fairies and a big balrog from lord of the rings down there
@@ciararespect4296Well get this, after the gravel and Middle Earth crawls theres another crawl that goes even deeper called Satan's A-hole and you can actually see the molten lava and hear screams, I didn't go any further
You guys have been caving together since day 1 absolute legends.
Pretty sure those 'worm' fossils were actually the stalks of crinoids! This was an especially beautiful cave, thanks for taking us along!
I have no desire to explore caves and really never found it interesting to even watch videos of cave exploring but I have to say coming across this and watching you guys work your way down was exciting and very interesting you guys are awesome and respectful of the things you come across its guys like you that could find the next big hidden treasure great work guys
Absolutely incredible...how does this exist?? What else is down there?? I'm speechless...
Thank you for showing this natural phenomenon to us...
I love these guys. Mama probably needed meds by the time these boys were 2. Not for them. For her. Another awesome cave adventure.
One of my favorites so far. No cliffhangers, but endless wonders...
This is so amazing and anxiety-inducing at the same time
Thanks for showing us this cave. I'm glad you made it out safe. You three are insane you had me on the edge of my seat this whole time anxiety through the roof .
You might as well have been on another planet! Mind blowing stuff! Thank you for documenting these GREAT adventures!!!!!
Me: i dont want to se ppl going into some holes
UA-cam: i beg to differ
The flow lines at the base of the waterfall are amazing! This is definitely one of the best erosion caves you’ve done.
I don't know. Something about this video/cave leaves me in complete wonder about what is under us, down those little holes. Without you guys, we would never see these truly magic places. Thank you and be safe.
Worlds
You know ...I saw. A hole in the woods behind my neighbors house
It seems to be filled with leaves last time i went
It is really crazy that when we walk everyday, this kind of stuff is right under our feet. Really cool vid and funny seeing a geocache there too.
Only if you're in karst topography.
@filonin2 Regardless, there is amazing and unknown shit down below
Theres cities underground
You guys are so comfortable down there. What an amazing place.
Finding fossils in caves is like... "Look at the fossils that didn't turn into oil!"
Good fun, still amazing to see, regardless xD
Makes you wonder what went down in this cave 10,000+ years ago yknow?
Reminds me of some alien world
indeed, or how parts of this cave were clearly at the ocean floor at some point
I wonder if it fills with water at certain times of the year
Hopefully we can meet up again soon and go check out the other cave👀
With the insane, otherworldly and variety of formations in this cave, this has to be better than any other video I've seen, even the ones with crystals.
Thank you for taking us all on your adventures to these weird and wonderful places most would never get to see. Safe travels 🙏 ❤
Amazing guys. It makes me shiver to think about being down there but I do appreciate being able to go...without leaving my cozy home.
Not only was this a great video, but it also shows the same spirit that built our great country. Fear or no fear, these men were so determined to find the bottom and or the end of the cave that they risk all to make it there. We need more men like this to keep our country great. Thanks guys!
I don't understand why you compare this to building our country? cave exploration didn't build this country. every country in the world has had great explorers risking it all to see the most unexplored parts. It is just called history and eventual discovery of things over time. this video has nothing to do with "keeping our country great" people have been doing this for fun for a long long time. your comment would have been much better if you just said "this was a great video" no need to project propagandized terms onto a simple cave video that somehow relates to keeping the country great.
@@kylek6708 he was talking about the spirit and determination, not caves... You totally missed the point and why wouldn't you want your country to be great? Would you prefer it poor and full of nihilist sentiment?
@@kylek6708 you sound like an angry self-loathing Iibturd way to ruin his nice post tho btw nationalism is not propaganda its perfectly natural and good for everyone. feel better about yourself soon tho because clearly your mind is not right and is in a dark place
Correct me if i'm wrong, but fellow "James" i believe he's called? Why did James went away without expressing loud and clear to you guys his intentions were? Because i did hear the main narrator ((dont know his name im so sorry)) say at 12m42 second "Let's go see where james going" or something that sounded like that..
Even if it's only 3 or 4 feet away.. even if it's pretty obvious where your partner his and that you are confident everything is fine..
Never..! should ANYONE venture away from their group without a safety Line watching your back in that case.. It takes only one stupid slippery step whilst being out of sight from the rest of the group for you to randomly and unexpectedly disappear somewhere within the abyss. If you drop your light or if that fall breaks whatever lighting equipment you are wearing and thus taking away any reference points for your friends to try and save you.
Sounds dramatic.. maybe.. im getting older! but take a second a rethink about those glossy pillars you saw.. and the slippery slopes along the walls everywhere.. Slip! Boom! Arrgh! Byebye.
Be careful guys, Speak your intentions louder in unknown territory. 😊
you can slip into the abyss even in sight of everyone and with someone right next to you, especially if you are climbing with no rope, which they all did plenty of, and chances are if you fall into the abyss far below the sight of anyones lantern, youre a gonner anyway, not that they shouldnt try to get you, just saying.
While I lay here warm and safe in my bed, there’s incredible ppl line you guys deep inside the earth making these killer videos for us to watch! One of the COOLEST caves thank you so much! I so wish I’d done more of this when I was your age.
How are you not scared to squeeze thru a tiny opening, hats off to your bravery. 🙏✝️🕊💜
This is one of the coolest caves I’ve seen
Absolutely panic inducing 🤪
One of my biggest fears is being buried alive...
I agree with you,,,, INSANE 🤗
First comment ist from Germany my Friends i Love your Videos
🙌
AWESOME! Cave diving! Thx for sharing this adventure!
I'm very scared of deep or high places. How do you get so brave going into the unknown? It's crazy !! I watch your video's peeking through my fingers and sometimes just listening. OMG !
The world is just that much bigger thanks to explorers like this and the ones before. This video is amazing! Be safe guys!
So someone have been down there before you...that was an amazing descent! Maybe one day you will discover the so called HOLLOW EARTH
Underrated comment
"They" don't want them to go past the cave pearls.
Thank God we have humans like you guys. If it was me I'd be like"Nah, ain't goin' in there." Awesome work !!
Best cave you guys have EVER found! I am thinking that the cave you are in is easily 2,000 years old or older.
Really great video. Thanks so much for not cussing!
Saludos! What a cavern, you guys had to be so stoked for climbing down into that hole! That is what I would call a true "gallery cave"! Great find!
When I was still quite young and in high school, way back in the '80s, one of my spelunking buddies who also had the same period art class as I, he was ever on this crazed campaign to make all these bumper stickers that had stalagtites and stalagmites silk screened around the edges of the sticker along with these two simple words printed largely across each sticker's center; "Jesus Caves"....and he made them by the hundreds! I am fairly certain the only reason he was producing them was to liberally affix them to the porcelain interior of every public urinal across the county in which we lived, every public restroom seemed fair game.... I must have pissed upon those damned stickers a hundred times or more over the next decade until one day, both him and those stickers were mysteriously not anywhere to be found anymore....
....and he never persomally offered me a single damned one! Cheers!
very interesting.....
Love watching you guys. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Beautiful formations what a surprise to see how big a small hole turns out way down under our feet.
Never watched you guys before but so glad I stumbled on your channel. I have done some spelunking but never with so many vertical faces. You guys are gutsy. I can’t believe someone has been that deep before and leave a clue box.
I can't believe it either wow.
I am a cave lover. I never get claustrophobic from watching this kind of experience. Watching from New Delhi India 🇮🇳
That's an awesome cave I hope you guys keep staying safe watching each other's backs and It's refreshing to see people taking the integrity of the cave and respect to the cave to the higher levels adventurers yes admirers totally but responsible and respectful as well love your work keep it going
Such cool formations! Those first cave pearls look like mini marshmallows. 🙂
Ahahaha! That is one of the most downright ludicrous places to find a geocache I’ve ever seen. That’s like, the polar opposite of the one I found randomly on one of the peaks of the Sierra Nevada Black Buttes near soda springs, ca. yours is under an inverted mountain, kinda. Also, those cave pearls look like corn. Cave corn? Ew… that sounds….unclean XD
Cool 😎 video guys! People don't understand this is very dangerous going down in caves! Especially in small places! 🎉 Again Thanks for the video! 📼🎥🪝🪢🌎👾💥💫🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗🧗🏞️🪨🕸️🚇🧭🗿🤿🎲🎲🥽🥾🥾⛏️⛓️☢️
You guys rig up and throw rope in 30 minutes, meanwhile I’m into my third hour trying to unlink the garden hose. You guys are built different, and it’s fantastic. Stay safe.
Wow - I'd love to explore stuff like this, but I have no experience with climbing rope and rigging (at least for climbing anyway...) Where did you learn to climb so you could explore areas like this??
Thanks for the inspiration! I don't think we have anything like this in MN!!!
If you had gone down any further, you may have awoken the Balrog!! This place looks like something out of a J.R.R. Tolkien novel!!!!
there is a ton of information about climbing out there. we have learned a lot of what we know from reading and watching videos of people climbing. we also learn a lot from the other people we climb with. www.outsideonline.com/culture/essays-culture/john-ackerman-caves-minnesota/
I assumed, when I first stumbled upon your videos, you were just a bunch of kids who didn’t have any respect for nature. And, now, I enjoy seeing these lost places and the fact you go out of your way to make as small of an impact on nature. I’m a skydiver, I’m comfortable climbing under a helicopter, jumping out of a hot air balloon, climbing onto a wing…but, I’ll stick to the sky. Enjoy these videos! Thanks!
This one was greatest from all your vids I've watched to date. Huge halls and features. You could play some Mussorgsky in the bg. :)
What I miss is more complete exploration and some drawings of these caves. I know you're doing it just for sheer fun of it - it's just me.
You found my batbox. And thanks for not disturbing the bed of pearls.
awesome
I've been 16,000 feet under the sea but, that was a comfortable ride to the bottom in a Titanium Sphere. I LOVE the adrenalin. Great vid.
Hi, thanks to both of you for taking me on a magical journey it was absolutely mind blowing.
I’m a 76 year old woman thank you 🙏.
From Carol in Queensland Australia.
Wow, I'd be worried about voice reverberation causing a cane in or lack of oxygen or poisonous gasses, but you made it out! Good job.
Haha wow, I didn't even think about that stuff, I guess? it seems marginal to me compared to them crawling on their bellies in that one scene.
Incredible! You are showing me a world that I'll never see in person.
