How is not as bad as drinking and driving with your kid in the car
If anybody would like to know the possible future of our planet, this comment is for you.
@@CalvinHikes Thanks!
Because if you drink and drive, you put other people's lives at risk, not just your own.
Because they know what they're doing in order to keep safe, but if you drink you are impaired, your judgment can be off and what you know how to do safely you might not do safely.
And because there are usually laws that prohibit you from drinking and driving, which can get you in trouble even if you aren't causing accidents, while there is no law prohibiting them from what they are doing.
I hope I clarified a few ways in which this is different from drinking and driving with your kid in the car.
If you let your kid go swimming they have a higher chance of dieing now who’s the bad parent
@@CalvinHikes Typical Karen comment! Just laugh it off. Great vid and you are a great Dad!
Randomly one day, UA-cam offered me your channel, and I've been having one giant panic attack ever since. I keep watching to desensitize myself to the terror. Eventually I may be able to enter a large cave, something I had never considered doing before. I will never be comfortable (or thin) enough to join you on your experiences, but I'm interested in dipping my toes in. Thank you for sharing. P.S. - I had to pause and do deep breathing exercises several times to get through this video.
We hope that desensitization can never fully occur. We will do this through increasingly horrible caving adventures. the next 4 videos or so will be extremely unpleasant.
You are welcome in advance.
But seriously thank you for the comment and thank you for watching.
@@CalvinHikes that’s a hilarious comment. I’ve watched a few of your other vids and each one I can feel myself breathing. Very slightly uncomfortable but a good watch. Hats off to you guys. You’re living.👍
I’m under my bed
To get under my bed is 6 inches tall and 22 inches wide
I love watching these but I’ll never comprehend how people are ABLE to do this. I go into a panic inside of an MRI machine
We freak out in crowds.
@@billsanders9387 thats super funny actually, but you must be jokeing xD
I can’t handle MRI machine either Iam so Claustrophobic this scares me but I love watching your videos
@@billsanders9387 Most people freak out in crowds but would still never go caving like those confined areas. I think people are playing you down to go in the big caves and witness beauty but not those little calves
Yes same here I can't get in that MRI machine .
Ah another caving video, it makes me feel comfy knowing that I'm lying in my bed and not in a cave. Glad you guys are enjoying it, cheers.
Same 👍😊
Cheers 🍻
When in fact you do not actually understand how comfortable your bed is! WE both understand how comfortable a soft bed is as we are able to contrast it with a very harsh environment.
But the point has taken have a nice day everyone
Ah. Yes... it indeed does feel comfy knowing I’m sitting on this pooper with a turd sticking half way out my buttox while he is in that scary, gritty cave! I agree brethren
@@CalvinHikes did you just...make me doubt all the comfort of my bed?
A lifes pursuit of trying to re-enter the womb.
Gotta say man you guys used to give me anxiety attacks. Now I can't stop watching and it's super cool you get to experience all this, the stuff u both enjoy, together. My dad passed away in 2018, he used to take me camping and paint balling when I was a kid and I wish I could have gotten to do more with him as an adult. I hope yall are safe and having a great time! And I really do like how you read and respond to all comments. You show your audience true attention and care. 👍 from me!
Gratefully stumbled upon this channel and i have to say, I've recently watched a ton of caving videos (from underwater cave diving to dry cave exploring) and you gentlemen are by far the gnarliest!!! I myself am not a super "risk assessing adventurer" and i tend to be quite a bit claustrophobic, but i am fascinated by the energy people like you give off! The wondrously motivated drive to face what most would view as very real fears, to explore spaces that most humans will probably never witness in person, is just awe inspiring! Please keep this intoxicatingly positive vibe flowing fellas, but do it safely so we can keep amazing folks like you around a long while more! ✌& 🤘on
Thank you so much, these are wonderfully kind words.
the mental fortitude you and Jacob have amazes me, love the videos!
As someone who has to get mri and c.a.t scans regularly for my brain tumor, I find your videos help me as I get really claustrophobic while I'm in there, I think to myself while I'm in there if humans can fit in spaces way smaller than a mri machine that is also much more dangerous surely I can endure one hours in a machine that's going to help me :) thank you for your content!
Wonderful and interesting. We're actually working with some folks now out of New Zealand that are making an app for their medical clinic. they want to help people reduce their cluster phobia through exposure.
Awesome outlook on things 👍 ... You can do it for sure!
My last MRI was 3.5hrs in the tube. The last 5 minutes were the worst.
DasNuk geez, mine only lasted 20 minutes and I never thought it would end. I was shaking like a chihuahua the whole time…. I would have died having a 3.5 hr one.
@@maddawg13 it was full spine MRI. From skull to tailbone.
I can see the exploration in this, the same way I see in my love of rock climbing and mountaineering. There’s risk, but words can’t quite describe the rewards. Have fun and be safe!
Thank you
I am SO claustrophobic, but love watching cave exploring videos. Keep up the cool videos guys! Thank you!
I was watching many of your videos to terror my claustrophobia until I suddenly found myself in the Canco Caves in SA. I almost collapsed when I looked up through the devils chemnin but with the instruction of our guide I could "easily" manage to climb up and realised that it's all about your mindset and concentration.
Oh my Lord, I just stumbled upon your channel and I'm so happy I did. This is only the 3rd video Ive seen but with every vide,o I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, feeling anxious as hell with how narrow and small those areas are that ya'll venture into. Amazing channel! Thank you so much for the great content and the exploring that you both do :)
Thank you so much for the kind words! Our intention is to make each video worse than the previous. Set yourself freeeeee!
I liked, commented and subscribed simply from your comment at the end of this video “ we don’t ask you to like, do what you want”…. I appreciate the content!
Cool, thank you and welcome to the dark frontier.
"Why were doing this is uhh still unkown" felt that on a whole other level 😂 it's that love of the unkown for me
"Theres a lot of cool ice in here"
No thanks. Ill just look at the ice in my freezer, thanks
if i was to even survive 5 minutes in a cave, i would come out with the biggest confidence on earth!
It certainly builds our confidence
Not sure how I came across this channel as I have zero interest in caves. But this amazing, interesting and so brave of you both. Well done for doing what makes you happy and teaching your nephew along the way. Instant fan and new subscriber.
After watching so many of these videos, I've learned a lot about caving and it's made my initial reaction a lot less anxiety inducing. :) thank you for educating!
Oh no! we will try to increase the anxiety inducing videos in the future! ; )
Hats off to the both of you, sometimes I see the true look of true fear in that boys eye but it’s comforting to know you have each other’s back. You two are awesome and definitely have experiences to carry to the grave! Thanks for posting these videos for everyone out here keep on caving
Thanks, Miles. Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain. Jacob isn’t fearless, but is an amazingly gifted caver.
I am marveling at how you and Jacob have avoided a Nutty Putty cave situation where everything went wrong , it must take incredible expertise and skill in all those tight squeezes especially when you are fighting gravity too . This is way beyond the average persons capability and mentality .
Well as you said everything went wrong. It takes a lot for everything to go wrong. And in my opinion that's what happened in the John Jones situation. It's a one off and I bet you never hear anything like that ever again.
The first comment says it all. You guys are extremely wholesome. First 5 min of the first video I watched made me feel gross and anxious, but now I throughly enjoy your videos. You all seem like great people and I hope you find some awesome caves in your future
Wholesome horror. ; )
Love watching these
When I first saw your first video I cannot see it completely as I am 6'3 in height and extremely highly claustrophobic, but after being stuck on your channel for few days and watching some of your most tightest spots cave videos I feel confident that if at all a need arises in future like an emergency then I might survive in a tight cave thanks to your guidelines and tips, great channel deserves 1M Subs for sure.
Thank you and welcome to the darkness.
even the stick figure was like what am I doing here... all jokes aside, great videos. keep up the exploration.
I always enjoy reading the descriptions on just about every video I watch on here, & when I read it for this video I got the BIGGEST smile... When it comes to his channel, & his videos addiction isn't the right word obsession is more like it lol!!! I CANNOT wait to hear the story.
Nice! Thanks for reading the descriptions. If there is information which seems helpful helpful or applicable we try to put it in the description.
I love how much this channel has grown. Also love seeing someone explores my home, Oregon.
I was born and raised in Oregon. I do live on the Washington side. But I will always be a duck!
I dont know how you two do it !balls of steel the pair of you.I watch your adventures from the comfort of my lounge in London England.Cause im not afraid to say that I wouldnt have the courage like you two Id be scared i would get stuck.Awesome content guys thanx for sharing.
The claustrophobia fear is kinda like an exposure therapy… ill tell you, I’ve never wanted to go caving as bad as i do when i see you guys adventure!
Like to say you don't got to go caving but just leaving the house is usually pretty healthy.
I'm loving all of your caving videos..... Thanks for sharing such great content!! I'm wishing you and your son all the best in your adventures! You're teaching him great skills and this is an awesome way to bond even more. 😊❤
Thank you so much
Interesting. Thanks for dispelling my fears of caving.
Said no one ever
I envy your passion. Wish i could find something that excites me in life like you and exploration. Your videos have helped me. I battle depression and your content is a great escape.
Passions isnt really for a thing. It's from inside. And obviously if you're depressed, that gets suppressed quite a bit. I believe a 100% of medical workers would agree, sitting around watching videos is not the cure.
That being said, depression ends. It always does. Like a big cave, no matter how long the dark persists, there is always light at some point and we always find our way out.
I was locked in detention centers and places as a kid because I had a crazy mom, I am 40 and can’t even sleep with a door shut still. This makes me feel sick to watch but it’s still so fascinating I can’t stop lol. You guys have some balls that’s for sure!
I just found your channel, and I freaking love it
Welcome to the dark frontier.
I am just in shock (and happy) to see how much trust you put in each other. The amount of faith (and love) you place in each other’s hands is inspirational. All of that together let’s you do what you do and we get to peek inside. Thank you for all that you guys do. Protect each other above all else.
I wouldn’t even go caving in a cave I should go in
What motivates you to go caving is it adrenaline and even after knowing that it is unsafe
We didn't say it was unsafe.
Nothing motivates us, we've always done this. It never occurred to us that this was anything but fun and adventurous. Over time some of the normal stuff got boring so we seek out more challenging caves. It's always fun all the time.
I like many others find this hobby insane, and never intend on pursuing it, BUT I do love your content. Especially your messages at the end of the video!
Thank you so much!
Honestly I don't even know any cavers that do this. Just a few and they are a super hardcore.
I watch your videos and you guys are on another level just watching you guys makes me feel like I’m there keep making them videos they are awesome and nay gif keep you guys safe every time you go exploring
"Its a lot of cool ice in here..." well yes ... surprise
Never knew what Anxiety felt like… until I watched your videos.
What do you doing when you nephew get stuck?
It's his nephew
@@feelthafunk4548 thank you.
Call him out
Big respect to you both!!
The claustrophobia is real even while I'm watching from the comfort of my home
Keep up the great work
Claustrophobia is real in caves, too. We just eat it and push farther.
I love your videos. I get to live vicariously through you and see some pretty cook stuff, while learning about safety first when it comes to exploring caves.
I'm glad you're enjoying them. Have we ever taught safety first? I feel like we do our best to ignore all safe ideas.
@@CalvinHikes lol are you pulling my leg? I watched a video of you guys giving safety tips and best practices when caving. I loved it. It taught me so much.
No matter how many of your vids i watch it doesn't get any easier watching you😂
Thank you. We'll add spiders soon.
The sheer terror and panic I would feel. Yet I watch all your videos thanks to Mr.Ballen opening the door
1 month later: *MrBallen* Top 3 places you can’t go and people who went anyways
I'm terrified of small places with spiders and such but I love watching, wishing I could do stuff like this myself, complete respect for you and thank you for recording so I can still learn
Nice comment. We’ll keep this up just for people like you…and because we love the underground.
So glad it's you doing the caving. Only underground tight spots I plan to be in is after my time is done above ground. I keep watching even though I am cringing the whole time. Please be safe.
Simply amazes me how others have their special ways of enjoying life. I have mine and I am happy to watch these guys do something I can’t for the life of me see myself in there doing that. Although I can appreciate laying eyes on something no one else has or ever will. Much respect to you both!!!
At 7:30, I just imagined you hiding from the police there and there then being some legend of you disappearing out of thin air. Lol.
Ever find any precious minerals going through places like this? That could certainly be a drive I’d imagine
No stones of value, except native american arts and crafts. New species of bugs. The dream is to find whatever is weird or interesting!
@@CalvinHikes you guys are badass
Respect to you guys. Was watching few videos and its just crazy for me to see where you get in.
Thank you for these caving videos i love them
You are welcome!
0:39 it's really big! Define your definition of big...😆💜👍
I’m baffled about this hobby. It’s like getting buried alive.
Could you imagine? That would be so great.
Thanks you for doing these videos you have just created a whole piece of me that wants to go do caves so bad
Years ago I went caving , there was a piece called the letter box . It got tighter and tighter . You had to drop out of it side ways . I loved caving but it batters the body .
The body does pay a price…but it’s a great sport. Dad is 74 and still caving regularly.
Great dad and son duo sir appreciate❤ 💯
This is probably the most intense hobby over ever watched on UA-cam. You couldn’t pay me enough money to dive into caves lol great content!
Couldn’t pay us enough either. Passion is the driving force. Thanks for watching. Caveman’s dad
Ive been following but never really had a chance to be on youtube until recently. Im just happy this channel kept going ive been on a youtube binge since then! Ive seen half of all tour vids! Cant wait to see the rest!!!nice job and plz b safe! You'll have me thinking about your wellbeing
It’s amazing to see things no one else I’ve seen thank you for taking a chance god bless you too you were awesome and for you to find the most incredible things that you’re searching for.... be safe
You guys should travel to Rockcastle Co. Ky. There are many many caves here that you could explore. I'm too fat and claustrophobic but I hear about them a lot. Just an idea. Love seeing you spending time with your son. Best of luck always!
Kentucky has some of the most caves in the entire world.
Crazy how you guys fit and carry your massive brass balls into these caves.. Love these videos guys... Love n Blessings from Aotearoa/New Zealand...
I really really like your videos and admire the pasión you guys have! I recently found this channel and now is one of my favorites, specially because there is no annoying subscribe requests to the channel
What you're doing is absolutely awesome!
this is so much enjoyable to watch the first video I found it hatd to watch but now im getting used to it and watch it carefully each and every second of it Thank you.
Man. I don't think I could ever get over the fear of being stuck, or falling, etc. I have a very hard time even watching. Keep telling myself "They have more recent vids, they get out fine!".
We always get out.
I’ve never even thought about cave exploring but I can’t stop watching your videos I’m really considering it looks really intense
3:18 *casually loses mind for 5 seconds 🤪*
Also what happens if you have to take a shite in the cave?
I reckon if you guys had’ve been on the scene for poor old John Jones, we may have got the outcome everyone wanted. You guys bare number 1
wearing a motorcycle jacket for caving is pretty clever!
It's the cheapest abrasion resistant clothing.
These videos are so amazing. Thank you guys for being brave enough to show us these parts of the world!
Thank you and you are certainly welcome.
you guys have balls of steel man.... hats of to you..
There is no way I could go in caves like this.I found myself holding my breath and from time to time I do believe I was having a SQUEEZING FEELING!! ...MORE POWER TO YOU GUYS AND STAY SAFE ALWAYS..
Thanks, and we will stay at least as safe as people on the freeway.
We’re back underground tomorrow
Bravest kid iv ever seen, stay safe and keep caving
Absolutely amazing.
Damn officially the goat when he said “yeah, we do this”
Wow amazing! Looks scary but also intriguingly fun. Not sure I'd like dealing with the lava rock though.
I went cave diving with my nephew up in Macclesfield about 10 years ago now it was a lot of fun, I didn’t think I could get stuck in as I don’t light tight spaces but the tour guild really got us stuck in I’ll always remember that great time. Hey up Macclesfield. 😀
Was that an OldTimeHawkey reference in the beginning? I love it 😂
7:14 Yeah no.. I cant unsee it.
I had to press the alarm on a MRI machine because of claustrophobia
Hey! I forgot about you and then i saw 2 new videos uploaded i have not watched them yet but now i will!
Glad I stumbled onto your channel. I would love never do it this because I'm SCARED lol. I do however, enjoy watching other people do this. Be safe, thanks for cool content.
Thank you!
"Dont be scurred homie."
How do you stay so composed when natural Instinct would be to panic
You have to ignore your natural instinct. And that, is a really fun game!
“There’s a lot of cool ice in here…” pun intended?
No I don't think it was! Pretty funny.
Take me Spelunking near The Niagara Region
Yo these vids give me anxiety attacks😂 but I love watching them
You are AMAZING
Stay SAFE STAY BLESSED
I was worried he would be stuck. He is brave. 🌺
He is also a very knowledgeable caver. We’ll find you some rare chemicals underground. 🤗
Lol the oldtimehawkeye reference at the beginning
Man I get anxiety just watching this
This kinda scares me because imagine getting randomly teleported to middle of a cave
I am willing to teleport.
Your contents is amazing man keep it up ! Be extra careful ! Happy new year !
Thank you!
We make no promises of care.
Man what would be so scary is when you go down a cave and it just starts pouring down rain 😬😬
Went caving in the early nineties,1st and last time,never again...
11:58 "Oouu, Guano!" Lol. Reminds me of Ace Ventura:When Nature Calls
Absolutely amazing what you both do, there’s a cave here in Caerdydd called ogof fynnon taff that I think you would love
I would love to just be able to pronounce the name of that cave!
I am really claustrophobic so I would never be able to do something like this so thanks cuz this is the only way I ever get to see that type of natural beauty although I do find I keep tensing my body and holding my breath and stuff as you guys get stuck and get yourselves through these little tight holes LOL
Happy to do it. Happy to show it.
