Hi, I saw one of your previous videos earlier where Jacob talked about the John Jones case. Would you be interested in covering that story a bit more, like what could have been done to save him from an expert’s point of view? Was there any way of him turning around some way perhaps? Thanks!

Man I can even begin to describe how I feel about these videos; I just found your channel last week and I’ve watched at least 20-30 videos already. It’s so interesting in too many ways to explain; down to every detail. Even your dad explaining that this was a tradition for you all was truly amazing. I wish I could do these kinds of things but sadly I think it’s out of the question for me. I’m 6’6-6’7 around 230-240ish year around but I broke my neck when I was 10 and think I would have a hard time crawling and squeezing because of that. But this is so interesting to me! I would never go cave diving or any of that but the ocean is so cool; just sketchy and where I broke my neck at effects your breathing here say so I don’t think tanks are for me lol. But this? I could convince myself to do this somehow, someway. Just really feel I wouldn’t be able. Thanks for the inspiration good sir; not only teaching us but teaching your family first and foremost and the rest of the world that wants to listen! Seriously so insightful!

Thank you so much I appreciate you saying that! I wasn't in any Dire Straits but I thought that I would prefer showing our mistakes then then acting like we know everything. The lava bed's national monument has a lot of public caves. There is also one near weed California called Pluto's cave which is listed publicly. There are often people in the entrance to that cave but very few people walk to the back. Even fewer people are willing to crawl beyond that or even know about it. I recommend elbow pads and knee pads and and finding that crawl at the end of Pluto's cave. Many of the excellent caves in northern California are currently difficult to get to due to the wildfires.

The first time I watched these videos, I thought to myself: "never in a million years." After a few videos, I found myself thinking id definitely give it a try with these guys. I am not sure its one thing specific that made the change, moreso the combination of Charisma, Attitude and Ambition displayed in these videos. About a month after starting watching them, i found myself making it up all the climbs ive never brought myself to try at my local nature reserve (its a large natural sandstone quarry). Couldnt be happier. I thoroughly enjoy it, and now I am planning my first caving experience in a couple of months! my addiction to the outdoors is growing, adding paramotoring to the list of hobbys soon as well. Thanks, calvin and family, for the inspiration!

I think what you do is great, especially taking your nephew and teaching him. I’m 40 now but my brothers and I had all kinds of fun climbing cliffs and going in holes, hunting and fishing back in the 80’s and we didn’t have adult supervision. It gives you a confidence in yourself to make good decisions and take care of yourself. Its a powerful gift you’re giving your nephew that most other kids in this day and age won’t have. Society has become too accustomed to pavements, cafe’s and internet, they forget that it’s the same harsh world as it was in the stone age and when that thin veil of modern safety disappears they’re left with no skills.
@CalvinHikes
@CalvinHikes 2 года назад
Thank you and agreed. I like to say that raising children to become more capable is not endangering them. What endangers children is releasing them to a cruel society without any personal confidence or ability to deal with fear. The world is chewing up and spitting out young people, generation after generation. We have become weak so that weak ideals are permitted to rise to the surface.

@CalvinHikes
@CalvinHikes Год назад
There's generally just better ways to Mark directions then what most people might assume. Using anything to Mark directions is fine but there's just easier ways. We use rocks available in the caves. We know how to place them without having to create an entire Arrow so that we know which direction is the way out. If someone is just going to go caving once they are likely to use string but it is probably not necessary. If you need to use rope or string to mark your route then you're probably not going to have enough anyways. And the truth is, most people who cave a lot just memorize the cave. Even if mistakes are made we can always find our way out. Just like driving through your neighborhood we create a mental map to navigate and that's a lot easier than stringing your way through a cave and creating a huge mess. But I have used string at times. Just not very much as I have learned better ways to navigate
