Got lost in a complex lava tube cave system. Finally, I found my way out of the maze after tough crawling through endless, narrow tunnels. No one should go alone into a cave.
This is why I always bring 2 stacks of 64 torches whenever I go caving. Place them around as you explore and if you want to leave just follow them back out! They also stop Zombies and Skeleton Archers from appearing behind you.
J amie I lost my 93 yr old Gma in Walmart, I did 4 full laps around the store before coming across her looking at eye glasses near the checkout stands lol
Hell, alone or with partners....John Jones went with his brother, and there was a team of people trying to rescue him, and to this day he is still stuck upside down in an 18 inch space that lead to his doom....no thanks, bro. I’ll pass.
Imagine if the sunlight was all an illusion so was you getting out, and it turns out you were still back in that cave knocked out after hitting your head on a rock with your flashlight near dead.
And just imagine as you lay there thinking about how you decided to save $3 by buying the cheaper made-in-China lamp, the one with the "16 hour per charge guarantee" so you only bought one as it was only going to be a couple of hours exploring, and suddenly you realize the lamp is getting dimmer after just 2 hours and you still have no idea how to find your way out! So thinking fast you switch the lamp OFF to save the battery while you think of a solution in the dark, and then you flip the switch "ON" and nothing happens!!! Now you also have to think about how to get a refund on that cheap lamp!!!
InvictuZ right?! I’m so disoriented right now? I figure he’s got a helmet cam so if he’s looking at his hands he’s probably crawling but it seems like he’s crawling upwards and isn’t that technically climbing?
Plenty I'm sure, lots of animals too have gotten lost in caves, there bones laying there for hundred or thousands of years. The worst was that chunky guy who got stuck upside down in the nutty putty cave, and for hours and hours rescue people tried to get him out but he died and they left him there and sealed the cave up!
Actually this happens all the time, finding the cave entrance is often harder than navigating the cave itself even when you have a guide book. Most overdue parties that cave rescue are contacted about are down to the group having entered the cave far later than they expected because they spent ages looking for the entrance. A small hole in the middle of a large moor can be tricky to spot even when you've been there before!
Can you imagine after crawling through these tight passages and finally seeing the outside light only to find out that the entrance to outside is too small for him to squeeze through?
Well it would have been filmed differently yeah there's better ones if you search there was one that was completely terrifying to watch I think there were Russian
Underwater cave diving, the caves have a "main" guideline, a strong cord through the main passages. If you leave the main line, you connect a reel to that line, and place a plastic arrow pointing out, why isn't this done in confusing parts of dry caves?
That's why cavers always carry back up lights. It's also considered bad practice to go solo, in fact the minimum group size should be four. So if someone does have an accident one person can stay with them and two go for help. Having two people go for help means they can help each other if they have any problems on the way out.
My cat Midnight loved this video for some reason. He watched all of it and was tapping the screen. This is the first youtube video he’s ever been interested in for the 6 years he’s been alive rn. You deserve a metal.
The way you look around before making a move, gives us viewers the chance to decide which tunnel we'd choose... makes it more horrifying. All I know is I wouldn't go in any tunnel I felt squished in.
Bromethius88 didn't realize how bad he had it sitting in bed when I read about him. Then when I went for a run and was dizzy and lightheaded as hell did I realize how lucky I was I'm not wedged upside down alone in a 18 by 10in hole unable to move. Jesus fucking christ
Invest in glow sticks, I would leave them like bread crumbs so I can find my way out. It might cost a little but watch this video and ask yourself how mad you would be if you got really lost and were dying in a cave like this because you didn't want to use a little money.
Whenever I have nightmares I often dream of getting stuck inside a cavern or a really narrow pipe system of sorts. I wake up sweaty, my pillow and sheets soaking wet and feeling forever grateful for it only being a dream. I cannot comprehend how people are willing to put themselves in situations like this. Absolutely appalling.
If that ever happened to me, when I got out I'd just start screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't know why but that just seems like it would feel right in that moment.
As soon as I saw those tunnels branching I was thinking trail of breadcrumbs, no point in 2 people getting lost in a cave. Overall cool lava tubes, glad you made it out safe.
I'm sure he learned from his mistake, but I have to commend him for remaining calm and collected and slowly working his way out of trouble. If he just succumbed to panic he might have gotten himself even more lost and disoriented.
I live on the west side of Lake Apopka, where the springs that feed the lake are. So many divers have lost their lives diving in those springs. Diving in the springs here in Florida is pretty near suicide. I don’t know how many divers have successfully navigated those Apopka springs, if any? I’ve been living here for more than 30 years and it seemed like once or twice a year some divers would be lost to those springs, never to be found. I think that there are some underwater rivers there at the aquifer and one wrong move and they’re swept away by the currents. What a horrible way to die! They probably end up pushed against some rock face, unable to swim against the pressure, just waiting there until your oxygen runs out. I can think of better hobbies. There are also some monster sized gators around those spring heads, we’re talking 13 or 14 footers! I think the springs themselves are a far greater risk than any of the gators though. Even the gators are smart enough to avoid going down inside those caves.
My friend and I got lost in a cave once. We entered through a crack into a circular passage and then couldn't find the way back out lol. After about the 5th trip around and starting to feel like the background on the Flintstones, I was honestly starting to freak out because nobody knew where we were. Then, we turned around and almost immediately found it. I was super relieved and from that time forward, I always carried a lot more food, water and lights/batteries with me.
That felt like the longest ten minutes ever.. I was feeling my anxiety levels rising.. why the F would anyone want to go down there.. it's a no from me!! Lol
I got lost too. Inexperienced took no water no food. Thanks God had lighting. Got lost for over an hour in a cave in West Virginia. We climbed, crawed, jumped over deep crevices. Was bruised and battered. That was it for me. It was sooo interested and beautiful and amazing but from now on I watch it on RU-vid.
This guy gives advice on the description about how he got lost and not to go alone in a cave and what's the first thing he those go in into a cave alone thanks for the advice! Smh! Lol
I love your breathing 😞😢🤗😘😍👍🏼👌🏼💪🏼🤘🏼❤️💕...! You're so brave😲😉. I did that too about 20 years ago and that was scary first. It was narrow and I was with people... It was claustrophobic too🙄🤔🤨🤪. But it's a great experience 😍
INTENSE! INSANE!! Honestly don't know why or "how" I watched this. I am chronically claustrophobic!! When I saw that light at the end "throughout my hyperventilating" I realised there were tears running down my face. Stop it please!!! Climb a mountain or something! Lol
Sometimes turning your headlamp off can help you see faint areas of sunlight seeping into caves. Or just pack bright colored string for a leader next time. Glad you're safe!
