#Pro Mission accomplished 🔦😎
Very old you can tell by the layers of rock very deep but interesting 🧐
👍
can't lie i hate marketing accounts so much but no other camera is made to be dropped a half a mile lmao, the amount of footage i've seen through your cameras is a testament to their impact socially, be it big production companies, or youtuber's buying their first camera, genuinely thanks for the footage we all would have missed out on otherwise go-pro
If you click that #Pro hashtag, you get shown tons of minecraft videos instead of anything Gopro related hahaha.
@@abundantharmony Honestly hilarious
For those wondering, the first drop is about 125 feet down. Then the go pro is dropped down another pit with a depth of about 586 feet.
Thanks for the info! This is Ellison's Cave in GA, right?
So first it's a 13 storey building and then 59 storey building. Holy sht. That's deep! I wonder if there would be any benefits from going personally down there. From the looks of it, it's just straight down and people can fit through easily with rapel gear.
Has anyone went down the big fantastic Pit any?? Walker County must have an insane cave system..
@@brianmaxey3263thats a regular thing. Through trips from Fantastic Pit to Incredible Pit on the other side of the mountain have been organized on a regular basis.
Cool, thanks
I’m pretty sure this is the pit in the mines of Moria that Gandalf fell into while fighting with the Balrog
Fly you fools!
OMG THANK YOU 😂 I was wondering if anyone has seen a Balrog yet!
I was just thinking as I watched this, “You know, the dwarves of Middle Earth could really make something of that place.”
Wonderful - three of my fears in one video: being underground, claustrophobia, and falling into a pit.
And my fourth: heights. If I can't touch soild ground, I don't like it. 😂
I have all of those issues as well and I say go ahead and throw in my fear of heights for good measure
@@randallreid424 I applaud the brave because I sure would have a severe panic attack lol. It's a big hell nah for me lmao
@@karafadely5754 I remember the first time that I learned I was afraid of heights, I was probably around 9 or 10 and we had climbed up an old water tower that was 25-30 feet tall and when I got too the top and looked down I froze and didn’t want to say anything and my buddy’s were enjoying the moment and I’m thinking how the hell am I going to get down bc I felt like I couldn’t move and just wanted down. I never said anything and forced myself to slide back to the ladder and get down and I couldn’t believe how hard it was to literally get my foot back on the ladder it was terrible and I learned that Randy grandma was right always trust your gut. The panic is so real and amazing how it freezes you in place lol , totally agree it’s a hell hole for me to
Honestly surprised, the bottom wasn't full of water. It must drain out somewhere even deeper. It would be fun to explore it with a drone if you could.
Those deep holes known in Europe as water sucking holes. And the outside entrance showing it clearly, it’s just like a small crater. They were formed by the last ice age, when it started the big melting and the water had to go somewhere, and it is going, no matter what. Can clearly seen on the video, that the whole cave was formed by water.
I also wonder if it originally has been full of water but people are extracting it from the ground everywhere around it thus leading the cave to drain somewhere, or the system really just is that massive that the water goes even further
It goes to the Etidorpha.
@@Poprotta the water has just eroded more and more away from the walls making the caves bigger and bigger. So the same amount of water looks like way less farther down in time, because the cave is bigger.
So true! Makes you wonder! Nature is so awesome and unpredictable!
For those wondering this is the "Fantastic Pit" in Ellison's Cave, Georgia.
Beautiful and deadly
Has anyone ever died in there?
@@effaroundfindout Yes, 2 college students in 2011 died from hypothermia after getting stuck while descending. One of the more disturbing stories I've read.
@@ashleyzeigafuse in that cave they died but not in this pit
I would buy THAT "coffee table book" If you made one with photos of this cave! It is beautiful. Count yourselves lucky that you get to see these amazing places and things that 99.999% of the world will never see ❤ Thanks!
What a wild adventure! Thanks for bringing us along.
Really cool footage! A 360-degree camera would be perfect for this situation. Maybe a sponsor can hook it up with a high-end camera and you guys can drop it into the depths of the earth.
Travel Channel would be perfect!
Since the camera was spinning the whole time a really impressive Panorama can be derived as well as a 3D model
@@YetAnotherBigD I think ActionAdventureTwins can crowdsource a competition with their viewers to see who can solve the problem of lowering a camera at great depths without going into a crazy spin. That sounds like a fun engineering project that can be accomplished with a 3d printer and some creativity.
@Existinginthespace: I think there's a twist in the line. Simply straighten out the line and roll it up, and lower the camera again. If it doesn't straighten out, then use a pair of parallel lines: attach them to the camera on separate points and feed out both lines at the same rate. Use a 3D camera with lots of lights to illuminate a full 360⁰ downward view.
I grew up in chickamauga Ga… When I was a kid we built a deck on the back of the house and when we were digging the post holes there was a small hole in the bottom of the post hole. We put the water hose down in there and turned it on and left it running for several hours and it never filled up… I think our house was on top of a cave that never had been found… Kinda scary and crazy at the same time… lol
Backrooms
Caves are much cooler than the backrooms.@@abarrelofoil6228
Good going. You flooded out the People Under the Stairs!
@@JDOTVegas 🏆
Maybe an old septic system?
This is the way I depict what Minecraft would be like in real life. Minecraft feels so trivial and plain compared to this but nothing beats digging down and stumbling upon a cavern like this. When the camera hit the bottom, seeing the pebble bottom really made me want to just go for a walk down there.
They've added massive caves everywhere. Caves you could go into, make a base and never go out.
Stop playing games and play real life
@@aserta stop playing games and play real life
@@Ace5.56 Not everyone is meant to go exploring caves, games are a great way to have fun while staying real to ones abilities.
that deep, possibly gem stones and or gold deposits....the walls tell of massive floods coming through....
This is the stuff in my nightmares but for some reason Im addicted to watching it😅
Me too. I think it's a healthy trait - wanting to know the scary thing and having a good warning buzzer in your head. Peace.
Totally agree 💯
Humans are weird animals
If you think that's bad, go to Huautla, Mexico. 8t has much more of that plus underwater passages!!! Are YOU stud!!!
Same reason why I listen to Mr. Nightmare :)
totally wasn't expecting to see a scary ass face suddenly appear as it begins spinning in the dark depths......lol
If anything, though, thanks for not wasting time and getting right to the pit section! I can't imagine how it must have been to actually have been standing there. And the fact we actually got to see the bottom and you had good control of it. Love it!
Did u also see a figure of a man at 2.38/39 seconds please it's so scary
@@miggimay6321 I dont see it
@@miggimay6321 actually yes music adds to the creepy tone for sure tho
@@maxbrister9777 yes it looks like it's coming out an internal cave please look don't blink or you will miss it . I watch them on tv
@@miggimay6321 it’s a waterlogged wall. Wait another few seconds and you’ll see another on the wall.
That was beyond crazy, you boys went back in time billions of years
At least three years for sure
the bottom of the cave is the newest part
Hahaha....what if cave was appeared as example, 500y ago - You missed for about 100%
Not alot of people think of it from that aspect. That's what makes caves so cool. I like to rockhound and that's one of the first things that come to mind.
I didn't see the date on the rocks. What time stamp is it at?
PROtip: 2:13 the audio's obviously messed because the tension is fully distributed from the wire unspooling up at the drill, through it's tension, all the way down to the camera's mike (kinda like when i was a kid and we'd play with the wire telephone, we could span almost 100 meters before we couldn't keep the tension up). To not have this issue, you need a buffer between cameras and the wire. I've found it very easy to just cut some rope off the end of a line, remove the core, and use the sheet to make a 3 point cradle, supported by sticks, ball point pens and tape... whatever's around. Sound doesn't travel through that anymore, and you're free to use the fishing line (as such).
I've never gone as deep as you guys with The Pit, but i've used this method to document the state of air shafts. Up to 10 meters, no issue with sound quality.
Why would anybody be worried about the audio, it's not like there's wildlife to hear or something like that
@yachtsteve you don't know that lol
@@yachtsteve If it doesn't take much more effort to try, why not? I'd do it. This guys post is informative.
im not going to lie, when it got to the bottom i was anxious for a second. i saw one of those white rocks and was like... omg is that a ghost?!
always a nice surprise to see a new upload.
I was hoping for a Balrog... :P
@@youtubewatcher759 [Gandalf opens his eyes.]
Gandalf: "A Balrog - a demon of the ancient world."
I thought the same
I expected nothing. I wasn't disappointed
(i hàve a gandalf tattoo so not knocking the fact that scifi and fear of the unknown stuff is fun!) but seriously it's just a deep hole, why would you be freaked out/ or expect to see "a ghost"?
Totally blown away by the footage! I got very squeamish because of the long drop to oblivion, but I'm just glad that there are pros like you guys, to show this stuff to the masses 👍🏼👌🏼🙏🏼
Absolutely makes my day when I see y’all have posted. So good. Thank you for sharing gents. ✌️
Damn that's deep. Was half expecting to see a sign saying please have a seat, the devil will be with you shortly.
The muffled descending sound was terrifying! And the spinning.. I was just waiting for something to jump scare me 😂
That was totally amazing to watch. Thanks for bringing that to the world.
It really lives up to it's name 'Fantastic Pit'. The power of water and time is truly impressive.
Please find a way to go down there looks so amazing to explore
Now you know we gotta see you guys drop that thing ....it looks like a very wide canyon that goes off from there ..... that would be an epic video .
Jeff do you think there is any gold down there?
@@chancer7558 nope
@@Askjeffwilliams iron maybe
I hope you guys are fossil hunting while you explore these places. That floor down there would be a great place to sift rocks/soil and see what turns up. Thanks for the cool video!
Back in the late 60,s we used gold line, and it would make you spine, and we used Jumars to go up, did a lot of caves in West Virginia, Hell Hole, School House, Deer Lick pit ect. Great video keep up the great sharing of your spelunking adventures
No no no that mindset is what draws so many unqualified idiots to caves. There no gold treasures etc. And there are fossils in gravel driveways..... go find them there and not in cave
There's a respect thing, to leave nature as you found it as much as humanly possible, so the next person can enjoy it also. Just a thing most nature lovers go by. Best wishes! Fossils are Hella cool tho
The part where you are like half way down at 4:18 (time stamp) almost feels like we are going into a new world or almost hypnotic in a way cuz for awhile its almost the same and over and black and light again. really trippy.
That is really cool to watch. Can hardly wait for the video of ya'll exploring "the pit"
Thank you guys for doing this and for sharing it! This is so awesome! Just look at all the striations and colors on the rocks and on the floor.
Awesome, dudes! Thanks for not giving me anxiety attack on this one 😂
Feeling a little motion sick on the descent...but cant look away. It's beautiful down there. I really wish there would be a way you guys could safely descend into that huge cavern down there. That would be epic.
we will make it down there someday soon enough when we can do it safely!
Cavers go to the bottom all the time! Been there several times myself.
@@ActionAdventureTwins absolutely glad you are waiting until you can do it safely! Good video man! ❤
What is the overall depth the GoPro descends
Thank you. I've been waiting on this. You guys have some sploring to do.
Awesome hole!! Thanks for sharing!! God bless, and stay safe out there!!
Hey guys, just wanted to say how much I appreciate how active you are with posting on the channel. I stumbled across your videos about 2 months ago when Injured and I’ve been a huge fan since.. thanks for taking us along for the journey with you!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoy the videos and we hope you recovered well!
You have to go down there! It looks _so big_ down there. It's a massive room. It looks like the floor might be bedrock. I want to know where all those passages go. If you can do it safely, I hope you'll go down it.
You first.
Been there several times myself!
@@tag_caver I mean down in the pit how long to climb out
Glad I got here in the knick of time! Awesome vid guys, once I get back stateside, I'm going to start caving! This all looks amazing and very doable for me! All adrenaline,, no anxiety!!
I have stood at the top of the "warm up pit" but never went down. That was before I became a vertical caver. I didn't get a chance to go back. Great video!
Love when you guys post! It is so amazing and interesting to see inside of the caves. Really scares me to see you squeeze in tight spaces also!
This will be trending in 12 years.
Real life minecraft is just so amazing.. the depth of these cavities is just mind blowing... Thanks for sharing!!
Gotta say, this one made me a little dizzy, lol. So you guys are going down there soon then?
I have a balance disorder and use my vision for stability, so I started getting motion sickness watching this. LOL
oh man, a mini drone or a mini gimbal that holds the camera steady.
THAT WAS INSANE!!
thats what i was thinking, a small/cheap drone could be a good way to get footage down there
How well would the radio signals be down in a cave though ?
This is literally terrifying. My God. Thanks for the nightmare fuel. Great footage! 💪🙏
Awesome footage!! I was waiting on something to come from the shadows.... so cool.
I'm not from the US, don't know that area so don't know if people have ever been down there but would be great if you guys could try and explore it further with a drone. The place is huge.
Ellison’s cave, specifically Fantastic Pit in this video, are regularly rappelled by the caving society in the Southeast US. Many many people have been down to the bottom.
U 2 make such great videos. The only complaint I have & I'm sure that there are many many others who agree that there never long enough. So I'm really hoping that as time goes by. That u 2 will be making longer videos. Stay Safe
Agreed, around 30 mins mark would give it more of a joining you on the adventure feeling, you always have some thing to say too so I don't think there will be any long silent points or need for filler.
I agree U2 are a good band, although i don't care so much for their later albums
@zGJungle: Play the video at 1/4 speed to go from 10.5 minutes to 42.
It has been a while since I dropped Fantastic. Great film. Really great idea with the drill and the GoPro. Good job everyone involved and well done.
The way down was a little nauseating when it started spinning, but the way up amazing!! Another great video!!
You should try potting the world’s brightest flashlight down there and see if it lights it all up or if it’s to deep to even see
That's quite a fantastic pit. That first one was probably just a warm up.
This was a fun adventure! Thanks for the video.
Wow, looks like it opens up big time at the very bottom. Fascinating!!
Вы такие молодцы! Вот бы внизу дальше обследовать,что то может невероятное нашли бы.
That drop is incredible. I was surprised that the bottom wasn't all water. I could hear water falling or flowing down there. And the ride up through the water was cool.
Someone needs to "send it" one of these days.
I was kinda surprised there wasn't a skeleton down there.
It looked like there might have been a fog layer in the drop as well
No, this drop is Fantastic, the other drop is Incredible. A play on an old Abbott and Costello routine.
That is cool fellas. Years ago we stumbled upon a 15 foot diameter vertical mining shaft in Central Idaho that a rock takes 17 seconds to hit bottom. We knew where the hole ends at the bottom of the mountain (inside a long collapsed tunnel). We are confident that it is at least 1,000 feet deep, maybe as much as 1,500. Several hunters have disappeared in this area over the years, so I took the sheriff up there and said, "It would be easy to fall into this from up above, you need to go down there and see if those hunters are there." His response was "I'm not going down there, and if those hunters are down there, we can't do much for them at this point, now, can we?"
Very cool! Thanks for the effort guys.
What an amazing feeling it is when you do that pit for the first time and your feet touch that floor!
Yes it is. And what a climb back up. Took me 45 minutes to get back up.
I am incredibly curious as to how the rigging works in pits this deep! Do you use one long rope or a stepped series of shorter ones for easier control when descending/ascending, or does that not matter as much compared to having to carry, rig, and change ropes mid climb? I'm not a caver or climber, so apologies if my questions seem silly!
@@ZombiesOhMyGod Cavers use what is known as single rope technique, so yes we use one long rope for pits.
I've done a 150' vertical pit before. I can't imagine over 500'!@@skipmason8747
That's was awesome. The audio adds to how creepy it is down there and that rock at the bottom looks like a person. Unexpectedly scary.
Omg bro I rlly read this middle of the night
Man God bless you both for making extremely good videos and risking your life
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing
You have inspired me to go exploring in caves thank you
Have fun, see you in about 3 years when MrDeified uploads a vid about you 👍👍
No
To help minimize or eliminate the spinning of the camera, you might want to try and put a spreader bar between the two lines that you had attached to the camera. Either anchor the spreader to the drill or have someone hold it with an extension pole attached to it. If you test this out please let me know if it worked for you all. Good luck and stay safe on whatever your next destination is to explore.
Anything to stop the spinning. The cave looked like it was beautiful. I managed to watch for a few minutes, but it eventually got too painful. I was actually getting a little nauseous.
That is awesome, wondering how would one of those lidar scanners go, to map the cave out in more detail.
Fly a drone down there and explore down the passage way when the camera was touching the ground floor. That would be a cool video.
You guys definitely have to go explore down there
Seconded & thirded & fourth'd, I NEED to see the rest lol.
@@cap5856 yeah that’s definitely a workout but to see and explore something that crazy has to be worth it.
Imagine drop a 360° camera into this pit and view the video on a VR!
I'd be happy seeing this same video with just saw, but not stupidly compressed by UA-cam. We'd be able to see so much more.
That was totally epic!! 😍I have to admit Lol 🤣when the camera was swingin goin down deep in that pit I kept expectin somethin to grab the camera and scare the shit out me!!😬🤣 Lol Great short adventure before bed!! Thx y'all!! Be safe out there!! 🙏💯Peace and love to y'all all!! 😁✌️❤️💯
I get scared falling off my chair, I can't even imagine falling down that.
That's insane. What is the depth of that pit?
586 ft.
Fantastic Pit is per Mark C 586 feet of vertical drop, the total vertical drop of the cave overall is 1063 feet, which for this part of the world is just nuts; the mountain this cave is in tops at just 2,330 feet above sea level for comparison, and Ellison is actually down toward's the base.
Can you imagine once it gets to the bottom seeing someone hiding in the corner or grabbing the cameras and looking at them?
Some of us don't have to imagine. There are things down there. Sometimes you see them. More often you hear them.
Eric, that would be awesome, big time.
@@domenik8339
yup
@@domenik8339......Uh-huh... Do tell more lol... I'm sorry, but I'm calling BS.. Ive been caving for almost 30 years.. The closest thing I've ran into in said amount of time as far as what you describe, is homeless people, & an occasional animal - & homeless people arent typically in places like this, places that are so innacessible/inhospitable/require so much gear & energy to get in and out of. Typically homeless people will also be near enough to an entrance that they could find their way out by the light from said entrance in case of an emergency, like their phone/flashlight dying, or needing to go get food/wood for a fire.. You need access to food and water to survive, & so does most every other living thing; theres just not enough life down there to support as large of a creature as a human for very long.. Id bet if anything lives at the bottom of this pit, it would be birds, bats, bugs, salamanders, maybe fish, crawdads, & some single celled life like bacteria.. Probably no mammalian life whatsoever as deep as this one goes; not even rats or mice could sustain for long down there, if they could even survive the fall down.. There are no mole-men.. There are no cave monsters.. This is real life, not the movie "the descent", or "the lost world", nor some creepypasta; all those are entertaining, but fiction.. Most of the time, if you bump into anyone/anything, or anything goes bump in the night, it'll be another caver wishing you well, or an animal; like a bat, or a bird.. Sometimes a snake or a bear. & While rare, those latter two things are plenty scary when you do find em lol. When a piece of the ceiling collapses, that's always hella scary too, & far far more common in my experiences than a homeless person or a spooky animal.
Ok karen
Interesting hearing the sound waves stretch as the polymer string stretches out and under tension. The ride back up as it revolves looks like you’re in a worm hole. hats off

This was featured in a news article which was in a style I despise: fear mongering. They tried to guide the reader into being afraid of all sorts of things, from the length, to the dark, to the nonsensical idea of something jumping out at the camera. Ridiculous. It’s a beautiful, amazing cave, as most natural caves are.
Yeah we were not happy to see that. they had asked us permission to use our content but we didn't give them permission because we were afraid of something like this.
@@ActionAdventureTwins I’m just glad to have found your video through it, as I was a caver in my youth, and this brings back treasured memories
I was waiting to hear "you! Shall not pass!!" Faintly in the background 🤣😉
I love this channel so much
Thank you for being you
I love the improvised winch! : )
Very interesting! Thank you
OH Man 🥴 I felt like that GoPro after it stopped spinning. 😆
Very cool video.
Omg the gopro scene was so cool made me a little dizzy put cool. Every time I watch your video my heart is in my throat.
Interesting video idea: a video about the ropes/knots you use while caving. Like what qualities you prefer in a rope or try to avoid. What types of knots you use for a specific situation, maybe like a tutorial of how they’re done. Any maintenance that goes into them, etc.
We might have to! Probably gonna make a third channel for all the reviews and stuff but we will let you know
A friend just shared this with me. WOW, thank you! I was much more relaxed knowing it was just a camera going down there and not you guys. I did expect to see human bones on the way down, glad we didn't.
You guys are one of the most fascinating channels. When the go-pro rested on the bottom of the cave, that was such an eerie, creepy feeling. Amazing video.
Thanks, quite intense and mesmerising ✌🏼
Pretty cool!! I've been there with my brother who lives in Rock Springs ..I didn't know it was that deep!!
Magnificent video as always! The recording techniques that you employ are so creative, actually using the hand drill to lower the GoPro into that pit! Clever and ingenious! of course, I began to feel the sensation of dizziness with the spinning viewpoint, but the stuff you got is absolute perfection! The last few minutes are incredible as you retrieve the camera, and we get to see the depths of the pit recede into darkness again! How wide would you estimate the diameter of the pit to be at the bottom?
This is a gazillion times more interesting than any bogus NASA exploration!
this is so awesome 😎😎 I hope you guys come up my way sometime I would love to go on a trip with you all!
"The adventurers came to the edge of the cave in awe and wonder. Their great idea was to drop a camera into the cave. The adventurers agreed and decided to drop the GoPro to the bottom of the cave. After much deliberation, it finally reached the rock bottom; but the GoPro was not alone. Shadows danced around the cave, until two glowing eyes were seen emitting from the darkness. The glowing eyes were seen as the creature walked slowly backwards into the depths of the darkness, until the penetrating eyes glowed no more."
That was amazing to watch! It would be interesting if there was a way for scientists to go down and explore all the different rock layers and date those layers! The layers of rock are quite beautiful! Thank you for sharing! 😃
Wow that was so awesome cave i've ever seen and. Hope u guys are ok just be careful ya'll.. that's a great thing for you guys
Yeah that’s fun! The audio was perfect for the job.
The erie noise, darkness, spinning between two corridors, that shit had me on my toes
Epic! Saw your part one of this last night (where you throw a stone down there). And now this. Part three: the decent?
This is awesome guys. Remember to be safe
Very interesting .Thanks for sharing.
You guys should definitely go down there and take a good look around.
That drop would be epic.🤙
What was cool is at the bottom. The rocks were all rounded much like a river, would be cool to get a sample of that material and pan it,
Looks like a lot of fun thanks for video
Xenomorphs down there for sure lol
Awesome!!
