With that ending, it makes me wonder if you've hit your head a few too many times. Great video, keep them coming, and be safe.

@CalvinHikes 2 года назад

I never remember the endings so I was trying to justify why someone would think we hit our head. But then I was like... ohhhhhhhh, yes. Also of note, we intend to wear those suits in a cave.

Most are not experts but rather risk takers then expect others to risk their lives to rescue them.

That lil salamander is the most dexterous and chill little cutie reptilian I have ever seen. You guys well and truly rock. I have been looking at these disc cutters that are battery powered, very fast and and small, perfect for using in a binding situation that require precision. They are like just twice the size of a hand dremel. I mean, if a hammer would be dangerous, these little cutters could be life savers.

The scary part of this for me would be getting back up, i imagine it's even harder than descending

@CalvinHikes 2 года назад

It was harder and a lot harder for Jacob. It becomes a strength move. There are other caves similar to this which getting into is simple enough but getting out of can be very tricky. vertical gear doesn't work very good in tight passages.

We,ll get merch sometime. It's actually a great idea of maybe having shirt logos that make it look like the shirt is ripped. *I'm already working on some moccups of ripped up shirts with logos. It's at least funny for me to show my friends. They think it's a great idea.

I want to see you pull yourself back out of there. I've been in tighter places where I had to unlock my shoulders to get out and squirm like a worm to get up back up through there so I know what you're dealing with.

@CalvinHikes 2 года назад

Yep, I've had to push myself backwards in a slightly vertical passage, head down, with just... shoulder shrugs against the rock walls to reverse your direction

@jonfoulkes3160 2 года назад

Great stuff guys, much respect. But watching the use of the descender at 6:06 needs addressing, you must have a firm downward grip on the brake strand (rope dangling below you) if possible at all times 100% when pulling the lever to descend, very dodgy. Keep it up though and very entertaining 👊👊. Stay safe

@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard 2 года назад

Do you guys grade your caves too? I'm curious as to what grade you would put that and why. We grade our caves based on a few factors, such as how hard it would be to get rescued !! I'm really loving all the editing, the music, the documentation and the way you ensure safety messages to the audience 💕

@CalvinHikes 2 года назад

That's very interesting. We don't grade our caves as a caving community but I personally do. Though my scale is based on interest and beauty. A, being a big cave that has lots of nice features. Lower grades are for small caves that everyone hates that are cold and dangerous. I do this on my GPS so that I know which caves are worth visiting and which ones are duds.

@EliseFreshwaterBlizzard 2 года назад

@@CalvinHikes wow that's so interesting! We only grade based on how scary it is+ how hard it would be to get rescued if something went wrong. I cave near Derbyshire, where all the caves are very cold, wet and most don't have pretties in them. It's a bit dismal, but it will make me appreciate some warmer and prettier caves if I ever go abroad !
