Oh, this trip was awful. Join us as we enter and explore the furthest regions of an undiscovered "clothes shredder" cave. Long, tight tunnels with jagged rocks, razor sharp lava and freezing rain dripping through. You will even see a cave rescue team at work... but who are they recovering?

Yeah Jacob makes everything better. But he also has to go to school! We've got some coming up with his sister as well.

@archi420 3 года назад

School is definitely priority! All ur uploads are awesome. I just love hearing a kids point of view of the experience.

@BLOOJ97 3 года назад

You guys have made up my mind! I'm emailing the local grotto and looking into starting to go caving. I always loved the recreational cave tours but always wanted to go further and watching you 2 have all this fun

@CalvinHikes 3 года назад

If you've enjoyed tours and have always wanted to do more then... You should definitely move that forward. Some people only go occasionally but we are currently obsessed and just having so much fun.

@@CalvinHikes I dont blame you. Exploring new places is the best. I do it on my Kayak so why not in a cave

Ok this is the coolest caving vid ever. Great production value, tight squeezes. Alright gentleman, you've got a subscriber!!

@CalvinHikes 3 года назад

Thank you! This was probably our toughest caving experience. Due to the long freezing hike. Just miserable!

@chosenone2856 2 года назад

Awesome content. I myself have been cave exploring for the past 15 years. We have seriously crazy caves here in Florida. Thats awesome you are teaching Jacob at a young age. Is he your son or just a family member. Either way thats a huge trust that you both share in eachother. Keep it up. Stay safe

@CalvinHikes 2 года назад

Jacob is my nephew. What kind of caves you all got in Florida? That's cool.

I am so claustrophobic I feel dizzy with panic when I watch these videos, yet I cant stop watching for some reason. The fact there are people out there that find enjoyment doing this stuff is crazy haha

@JD-zw3ry 2 года назад

I am a former caver from Kentucky. My days of crawling on my belly as my back scrapes the cave ceiling are long over and I feel thankful to still be living. Even if I were thin like I was then, there’s no way. The thought of these really tight caves terrifies me now. Maybe it’s the John Jones story that was the tipping point for me.

@flop2954 3 года назад

For some reason, when you enter the smooth yet still as cramped spaces rather than the pointy ones, I feel an even stronger sense of claustrophobia. I don't know why this is, but it's pretty cool. I love getting the feeling of, "Are they going to make it out alive?" Somehow, you always do; both of you. Much appreciation

@CalvinHikes 3 года назад

Strangly: agreed. The smooth lava has a weird permanence to it. Like it's uncrackable and you'll not be getting out. In an upcoming video, we find SUPER smooth lava, and it's literally the creepiest thing ever. Like a shiny metal tomb.

@JGB_Wentworth 2 года назад

My theory would be that with a flat surface, you can clearly see the well defined tiny area you’re in. When the walls are jagged and create lots of shadows there is the illusion or even actual possibility that there is more space than if the walls were smooth due to the increased surface area of the walls.

@krissuyx 2 года назад

A bit of it probably has to do with a rough surface having things to grab onto or push against to move yourself. Not so much with a smooth surface.

I start watching the video then stop because the anxiety starts creeping in. And then I start watching again because I have to see you get out. I could never do what you guys do.

@blindiris22 3 года назад

I haven't been in a cave since I was a kid, but since I've moved states and am now in the city, far away from mountains and nature, ive really wanted to go caving. I've binged all the nutty putty and hellhole videos and I'm loving what I'm seeing and learning about. I would never go into most of these caves you're in, but I am super happy to watch this. Thank you. My question for you: when you are in a new cave or are exploring uncharted areas, how do you take precautions for not getting yourself into too-tight-spots. For the mortal man, this is anxiety city, but you and your son are right at home. P.S. you seem like a great dad who is raising what will develop into great people.

@CalvinHikes 3 года назад

It's kind of one step at a time. We didn't just end up in difficult caves. We've been doing this awhile and know how to approach each situation. The basic rule is if you don't fit in a passage you don't fit. It's not that easy to get stuck. If the passage goes downhill we back in feet first. If it's super tight we usually leave and come back with tools as well as other people. Or we just go home and think about it and make a plan. We also have cameras on robots that we can send inside a passage to ensure its basic safety.

@CalvinHikes 3 года назад

That's interesting. I think worst case scenario RU-vid could demonetize us. But I think people are overestimating the danger factor. We don't show anyone getting hurt, because no one gets hurt. People do get upset and report us for things like child abuse. But unfortunately, that's too common on the Internet to raise any flags. So we persist! Glad you found us again.
