👻 My Scariest Adventure Yet!! I Found A Pit On Google Earth And Went To See What Was In It! 

Exactly. Anything could happen out there. From falling and breaking your leg to getting bitten by a rattlesnake to running into a crazy person or coyote (human smuggler).

He needs a Garmin inReach at least

If you get in trouble and die, your video might be discovered by another person, but this would be a tragedy.

This dude is so green. He is just asking for it. He is never prepared.

thats one idea u mentioned it and now u are volunteering to be the safety person?

He’s a grown man. He doesn’t need to be told what to do.

Of course the person looking for help is alone... Not saying it's bad advice, but in this age where you can request help via satellite going along is not as dangerous as it once was. As long as you have a device that can communicate with the satellite.

Good advice. Stay safe.

He has a satellite linked GPS emergency beacon/alarm according to him in another video. Still that sinkhole wasn't worth going down without a rope and safety harness and a second person at least staying in the car with a predetermined return time.

Lol, he's a man, of course he needs someone to tell him what he should do :p@@RAJohns

I wish Evan Tanner had heard that.

Can’t avoid rule 1

I'm almost 75 years old, spent much of my younger life wandering the most remote places in this country all alone for weeks and sometimes months at a time, makes me sad to see Americans becoming such cowards today!

Thank you so much for your sweet message, Sheryl! I’m so glad we can hike together on these adventures :-)

What a nice comment :)

Oh… my!!! I could hv written that comment! EVERY part of it applies to me. I also just found your channel and I felt So emotional in the first vid by you that I watched when you said it feels SO good just to be out here… I decided to join you from now on! I miss my free roaming days in nature, especially the four corner area and those states!❤️please be safe & enjoy!! Terry in TX

I'm with you Sheryl. My exploring days are over & my mobility is limited. But thanks to Jeff, I can still experience wonderful adventures. We are lucky!

Did you get to explore the restricted zone?

You are absolutely right. Thank you for the concern. I plan to make some changes to keep me safer

@@TheTrekPlanner please understand, I'm not criticizing you at all. I spent years hiking by myself in Southern Utah and I don't feel bad about it. I always made sure to never get in over my head, because I know the area and my limits. There's a special feeling when you're completely alone, with no other humans for miles around. It's something that very few people ever experience anymore. Keep doing what you're doing ❤️ Disclaimer: for anyone else reading this, I am in no way recommending you hike or go into the wilderness by yourself. It's dangerous and can get you killed.

I have done much the same as you..... Solo..... and could not agree more with what you say!

@@Eyes0penNoFear I totally get it! :-) It's always a good reminder to be a little more careful! Thanks again!

Probably better just stay indoors then , just look up youtube videos of people doing cool shit

Absolutely, that edge could crumble under a person.

Sink hole… the entire thing could give way. 😮

Indeed.

this would be a good scarecrow for those abandoned mine explorers

Could it be a dressed up dead body? 😳

It's giving Appalachian vibes but for the west. Totally creepy!

It's the filming location for the 1953 film "It Came From Outer Space".

always love running into star wars fans, for those who don't know this location is near littlefield arizona in the northwestern part of Az.

I've worried about him more than once, climbing on areas full of loose rocks. Hope he carries a Garmin InReach, or something similar.

A S&W 45 Cal ,will handle that..with snake shot…ah..my mistake…I think a change of panties would be better..

Or, a gun

Dog? Get a pistol this is the USA. Americans need to stop being puzzys, we are getting invaded ffs. Our govt wants us replaced with more lets say submissive and compliant citizens, they know what they have planned for us and that we will not like it and will want to fight back but before that happens they want to make sure we are in an electronic prison first. Get ready folks.

Couldnt agree more

Bingo! I knew I recognized that place, but it's been years since I have lived in the area. The sinkhole is bigger now which isn't surprising.

Does the cave go farther than what we saw in this video?

@timothyexner It's a sinkhole. I'm not sure how far it goes. I couldn't climb down in because I'd just had knee surgery.

@@InternetJury I know it's a sinkhole. Most sinkholes are formed when the roof of a cave collapses. And you can see that water has flowed through there at some point. Anyway, thank you.

@@timothyexner It's hard to know where any of it goes. This is at the edge/beginning of the virgin river gorge... there are tons of slot canyons out there, cave, sinkholes, etc. The land out there is often collapsing and moving.

This spot isn't TOO remote. It's about 15 minutes north of I-15.

@eyMaxx Right, was speaking generically, I've seen tags in some very remote places, always a trip to see it so far out...

@@airzillarocksWell, yeah, you can also drive right to it. It looks like a natural karst sinkhole in limestone to me.

Not weird if youre an outlaw

Yes we've been doing it for millennia even the clovis and natives did it

Holy shit that's terrifying! I cannot imagine finding myself like that. You're super lucky dude. That could've gone way worse..I don't think I'd go at it alone after something like that. 😬

​@@whimsygrove9971Remember that guy, they made a film out of his story, who was walking in a gully, when a massive boulder fell down from above, and pinned his right arm to the side of the gully. He was trapped. Alone. In the end, to save his life, he had to hack of his right arm with just above the elbow, with his picket knife. 😮. He staggered out of the gully, and was rescued by two hikers. Married the girl he'd seen in his vision whilst pinned to the gully. Had kids. A happy ending. But, a mate or two with him to start with might have been kinda helpful. !!

He needs to have a gun in that case

...OR WHAT IF YOU SLIP DOWN, AND COULDNT GET OUT

@@noturfather1106how does a gun help treat a snake bite?

@@SenorBigDong69 its hard to get bitten by a dead snake. Snakes are also easy to avoid, hence why we haven't seen him bitten yet.

@@noturfather1106 yeah, snakes are easy to avoid when you know they are there. So the gun is unnecessary when you know where the snake is, and useless if you are surprised by the snake and bit.

Number 3 a .45 or 44 Magnum.

@danpaulson927 A 9mm (+P) does very little to a mountain lion or bear. In this particular area there's not much worry for them, but in other areas he goes to there certainly is. Matter of fact, in serious bear country I know folks who carry 45-70 pistols (and the kick is about what you are imagining lol). It's funny that folks immediately think of hand guns though. A rifle or shotgun is generally a better option in the wilderness, but can cramp your style climbing into caves and around cliff dwellings. Honestly, I hope his selfie stick is good enough to handle snakes - those slithering buggers are more common than large animals.

⁠@danpaulson927he’s right and your just a soy boy city boy.

@@oldtop4682 10mm is better

I think he sent the drone there first. Found a good story line and went for it. Lol

I'm pretty certain that was a fricken Circus Clown!

And a bazooka

I was going to make the same recommendations. Binoculars can be very useful to see ahead along a trail as well as getting some clarity on things like that weird mannequin. Coincidently, I just did a local hike today and a trekking pole made the downhill parts much easier and safer. Flashlight is an every day carry item for me. Also if going into a deep cave or a mine, using extreme caution, it is recommended to have three light sources with extra batteries for each.

For me... 12 seconds away!! LOL

That was so freaky!! Hope you can find out what that is. Must be info on it somewhere.

Black Masses Infant sacrifice.

You should watch some of the you tube mine explorer's ! The message is basically stay out and stay safe! In 2006,BRITISH COLUMBIA has one of the worst mine accidents! 6 ppl died ,I may have the body count in the wrong order but the point is here: The mine had closed,but spread large chunks of rock and covered it with clay! The moment I read that,I knew that'd cause a significant problem, as rock rotts,and produces sulphuric acid gases or hydrochloric gases,and it all flowed into the mine shaft pump house,the caretaker went down to check on the pump ,as soon as he was a few feet down ,the air was replaced with sour gas,and he died instantly! The next person that came to see why he had not come back,saw him at the bottom of the pump house shaft,so he climbed down to rescue his fellow employee, and upon getting into the gas,he also died! Then the 3rd went in and I can't remember of he died,(but there where 2 more that fell in and died,)the ambulance was called,so he might of made it out and lived long enough to call for help,but these gases kill instantly your 3rd breath! The female ambulance attendent went halfway down,saw the 6 bodies ,noticed no movement,started to feel sick ,and climbed out, there was a 6th person that died in this mine accident so as an old prospector ,I've studied a lot of mine u tube movies all have some beneficial info,but out of the hundreds I've watched,only one (1) ever mentioned the toxic hydrochloric or sulphuric acids gases that are released when the water in a mine shaft on the floor, is disturbed or already in the air and said,"When you start to see stars in your eyes,turn around immediately and go back out! Or you will pass out,go into a coma and since you can't move you keep on breathing this gas till you DIE! In a few minutes. 6 ppl died in that bc mine accident,and you can research it online,but as others have or havnt said don't go alone,don't endanger your life and you don't have the proper equipment to go into that hole and it's slippery and you can slide into a crevice, and die and no one will no where you are! And even if you only skin yourself or get banged up sliding into that hole,you don't have any way of getting out as well as getting skewered on some stalagmites! Cell phones don't work through thick rock,neither do 2 way radios,I tried mine in the basement, the guy outside on the sidewalk couldn't receive my signal,so didn't hear me! Death by starvation,dehydration,and injury is not a nice way to go! There is the Turner valley in Southern Alberta,with sour gas wells,if you breath this on the first breath run! Don't breath again,as the second wil knock you down and the 3rd is death,! There's a movie about it where a bull elk breathed then fell.to it's knees then rolled over dead the hunter grabbed his son and ran to his jeep to get away,hoping the wind was going away from them! A young man just made it back to his parents home he'd breathed 1 and a half lungs of this gas and is crippled for life! That's why gas companies flare off sour gases! Be a lot smarter in your curiosity and adventures,or as I say,if in dought,don't do it! In my diving classes the buddy team in scuba diving is taught and the plan you make us: plan your dive and dive your plan! Same fir exploring, take a buddy with you,or at least tell the local authorities were your going and how long thst way they can search for you if your to late returning! Also if you do watch these mine explorer's note that most are accompanied by a freind,some go alone like a few I've seen,but that's a bad idea! Also,animals like cougars bears and illegal drugs being produced could run you into some serious trouble! Play safe,play smart! And come back alive! In this cave the jokes on you but it could have been a very serious situation!

I agree with you, I was thinking the same thing.

I agree 💯% used to hike in wooded areas alone. When you get that feeling something isn't right, their is a reason!!!!!!!!!!

I went back and zoomed in on it. That's a body. Half of the upper jaw and the mandible are broken off. I think that is the mandible laying on his left collar bone under where his chin should have been. Up close you can see it is bone and teeth.poor guy was dug up and propped up for fun. He needs to be laid back to rest.

@@megandonahue9220I saw this on TikTok, I saved the video so I could pause & adjust brightness & exposure, and when the video shows the inside of the cave you can see what looks like a large puddle/splatter (in the shape of a body, in my opinion) and also what looks like people hiding inside a hole/crevice. I could be totally wrong, I mean I hope I am- but idk. It’s unsettling

The smell you described and if a body under plaster or not would be a crime scene. Hope you reported it to authorities so they can check it out and determine if so or not.

Can you elaborate on a highlight or two of your grand canyon adventures?

There are lots, lots more crazy people in the cities than there are in the deserts. I've spent fifty years hiking in the deserts of the American west, and never once run across a crazy person. I don't understand why so many people promote the idea that remote deserts and forests and mountains are somehow unsafe. Is it something the firearms industry does to sell more guns?

@@TashiRogo on our trips to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon we found two graves with wrought iron fence around them.They were from the 1800s..We found a large room inside a mountain on a back road with a ceiling covered in ash..The second time we went there exploring a sturdy door had been placed over the opening. We did not try to open it.We once found a rusted shell of a model T Ford in an out of the way ditch while exploring around an abandoned store on the road to the Grand Canyon..In that same area were walking in a field and stopped because ahead of us the field of tall grass was in complete motion but the wind was not blowing..We stopped just in time because In front of us for about 2 football fields in length there were little red spiders in motion spinning webs..There were millions of little red spiders..These were the nice adventures..I won’t tell of the other adventures..I don’t want to give any directions or tell of things that will cause others to go looking for artifacts or ancient sites..American Indians do not want strangers on their lands and they will protect their land..We never removed or bothered anything we saw or found..We were not pot hunters as we both were employed by the government.We respected the people and their land.

​@tedpreston4155 congratulations on your luck then. Do a search. You'll find all kinds of shady BS in the deserts of AZ. Those of us who carry protection, don't do it for giggles. We have valid, concrete reasons for that choice.

Millions of little red spiders is scary enough!😱😱

No geology course will account for a papier-mâché statuette propped up poorly in an old tyre with its hat blown off.

Yeah, I recommend Myron Cook, also on RU-vid!

I would have shown the pictures to a geology professor from a local university and asked him to explain the formation. Was it a sink hole? Was it dug out for mining purposes? The top of cave seemed to be black. My sense is that someone has had fires down there. Potentially our pranksters?

I am wondering if it was some type of mine.

Not a mine. a mine adit would have evidence of mining. Ore bins, rail, air lines massive waste rock pile and a bunkhouse or cabin.@@Bardmusic66

Wasn't much trouble I'd guess. Looks in bad shape, they probably just threw it down there. Might have been someone else who set it up. Pretty good joke on their part, it would be hard to see it wasn't real from the top when you're in the sun and it's in the shadows.

SLAVA POOKRAINE!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I'm truly sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with ME/CFS. I hope you get feeling better! -Jeff

@Gloaming2003 Have you ever considered a c@r|\|!\/0r€ diet? I've read about a lot of people getting rid of many illnesses doing this diet. Good luck. I hope you feel better.

@@unclest1nky this is a disease of the mitochondria.

@Gloaming2003 Oh, OK. Well, I still hope you can find things that may alleviate some of the symptoms of Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). God bless you and your family.

@@unclest1nky likewise ❤️

🤣🤣🤣 I think it was a combination of that statue thing and the alarm beeping that made me fly up out of there!

I'd have done exactly the same 😅

​@@TheTrekPlanneradrenaline sprints 😂

That “Creosote” is from the bats that once lived there.

What’s a “grotto”

That is a great idea! I know there are a few near where I live, but I'm sure they would have more info on other caves in the area of the sinkhole. Thanks for the comment!

@@dalesmth1 It could be bat guano, but I’m pretty certain there was a fire ring near the wall where the staining started.

I'm sure you could find people there on satanic holy days.

Lol it does 😂

What is your favorite color?
