It is over 175 foot Deep from our estimates. Big thanks to the subscriber for bringing us out there and showing us the cave! Check out Jacobs channel @Mineral_dude
Indeed, Georgia (especially this part of it) is known worldwide for its huge abundance of ridiculously extensive cavern systems. Some of the longest caves in the world, largest ballrooms, and highest domes are there. It all has to do with the bedrock geology, wherever you get country rock that is easily dissolved with water, you end up with this sort of thing. Where it’s limestone-based, it’s called “karst.” And yes, one of the more common things to find in old mines and caves is long-dead critters…. Sadly, even more commonly than un-stolen mining artifacts or intact and geologically notable cave features. Fortunately, though, finding a dead human is MUCH more rare. Usually either those are found and removed pretty quickly, or they’re unrecoverable and are never returned to the surface. Only very rarely does someone just stumble across a human corpse, which is certainly a very good thing.
You're right, it can be very dangerous, especially during hot monthes where the cold air is trapped in the hole and very few outside air come in. During winter, the outside air usually ventilates large cavities like this one quite well. It's even worse if there are biological wastes like in this case (dead leaves, animal carcasses etc), CO2 can be produced in large quantity and since it's heavier than air it can form a "pool" at the bottom. If you enter this pool, you could pass out and die in a few minutes without realizing it.
Also bringing some high visibility string and stringing it throughout the cave as they discover would probably be a good idea. You can unstring it as you come back, but cave formations can look a lot alike eachother and you can find yourself lost quite easily.
Thats just insane to know you're gonna be one of the first people ever exploring something like this. I can imagine it's a little emotional even let alone the thrill.
Now with all the poverty we have. Here's so much room on earth. Then the sad thing is walking in those woods at night not even knowing that hole is there. And how many abandon parks and areas that have tunnels no one knows about. Scary. Farm land with open holes that's like Alice's wonder hole from the void or the movie 300 this is SPARTA
5:23 Prairie ring-necked snake, what a cutie. ALSO, big indication that this cave has another way in, at the very least big enough for this snake to have crawled down there from a burrow or a flatter path. 5:44 Looks like a Barking Treefrog, but i might be wrong.
This cave is a cave definitely worth revisiting. It is a shame to see so many skeletons of animals who have long since passed away due to having gotten trapped down there. At least with small animals like that frog and the snake is that... They'll probably be lucky enough to continue living for awhile longer off of any bugs that wind up falling down too. Either way, the snek was adorable to see.
That frog could climb out no problem but that ring neck snake was most likely trapped unless there was another way out. They're not very good climbers.
Those small animals and insects aren't just falling down there, that's where they live. All that leaf litter and detritus is filled with insects. It may not be an ecosystem that most people are familiar with but it's an ecosystem like any other.
Love your videos !!! They take me back to my younger years when my friends and I used to explore every local cave we could find. It was fun and exciting. Stay safe.
I've often had dreams where I have had a large water leak that has gone unnoticed for a long time to form something like this on my property. Sometimes a cave, other times an underground river that finally collapsed the ground over the top of it. That and another popular one is finding an old room that was sealed off behind a false wall or a guesthouse that I either used to use or had forgotten about. My favorite was finding the giant industrial basement that was at least ten stories deep completely lined with concrete. Steel ladders, concrete steps, the works. I bet I'll have a dream like that tonight.
It really sucks to live in MO (the cave state) where we have 7000+ caves and all of them are closed except 10-15 commercial tourist caves(unless youre conservation or got their blessings for a permit on one of their many caves). Exclusivity is bs and infuriating. i wish caving was a friendly community.
Elitism and Gatekeepers are one of the reasons why I left grottos and all that is associated with cavers and caving. Wish I knew these dudes personally, they seem pretty chill tbh
I live in missouri and yes most of our caves are locked up but I do know of a few caves that have back ways in and some that are not known by conservation or many people to exist. I also know where there are large holes like this that do lead to a network of caverns.
@@jtbuilds9176 yeah Arkansas has a lot of barred doors in front of all the cave openings I've encountered. But then again I haven't been in all the corners of deep woods and I hear there's hidden openings.
What freaks me out is the dust particles not moving lol. Idk if airflow is good or bad for cave exploring but it just freaks me out either way that there is none
Damn.. That's a straight up death pit! It's a bummer it doesn't really go anywhere though. Really hope the landowner puts something over the hole or add a fence around that area, so that no more animals fall in there.
I enjoy watching your videos so much. It takes me to places I always wanted to explore. But I'm too afraid 😂. Thank you for the Adventures you guys do👍
really nice video ive just subscribed :) ,i want just to add something : remember to do a stopper knot at the end of your rope it can save you if a rope is too short :) (70 percents of death on rope in my country is because of this) , you can also do a little redirect to perfectly place your rope in the center of the pit and it prevent it from touching potentialy rough surfaces and cutting it when ascending , i dont want to sound annoying , just concerned on your safty , have fun caving guys an stay safe :D
Everyday people are dismembered and killed because someone didn't want to "sound annoying". Everyday people lose eyes, fingers, hands, and cocks because people wanted to look cool. The two types of accidents most likely to kill you are car crash and falling from heights.
another amazing cave my friend I need to get some gear and come with you sometime it's a awesome side of the earth that few see and fewer visit keep killing it bro's loving all the collabs with others in the youtube caving community #! for me is still AAT love the content as always great work till next time
Why waste all that time going down into holes in the earth just to come back up empty handed? The more you know, the more you can bring back with you. Real eye realize, bruh….
Ya, lets put ourselves into substantial debt to attend a university, attain a degree, just so the viewers can know the name of random rocks that have no direct impact in their life whatsoever.
Could you please explain how you find your way out , I’m always scared to death for you all and need to know how you all keep yourselves safe . I love you adventures and wish all the success you can get !
Chaulk or glow sticks or even rope can be a good way to mark your path. If your worried about getting lost Most caves are quite linear. So you can usually go one direction and find your way out.
Man, exploring caves looks so much fun. But the only thing I can think of is the move "The Descent", which my parents blessed me with at the age of 9 years old lol.
Purty badass guys!! Most def needed this adventure escape this mornin!!! I got my Momma watchin y'all and she sais y'all are crazy Lmao I personally think y'all are bad to the bone!!! Love love love it!! Amazin flowstone 😍 Have'a great weekend guys!! Peace and much love to y'all all be safe out there guys 😁😍✌️❤️💯🙏
fantastic find! Looks like plenty mud rocks and junk have washed in! Even wonder if dug out under the entry could it go deaper.. othewise some seriose digging and likly find it goes a long way!
‼️I would love to see a little of the rigging and rope work at the beginning before you start getting on rope to show newer vertical cavers the whole process‼️
There is a video, a series of them called Vertical Caving that does just that, I just started on it myself. The first one is showing "descenders", how they work, various types, how to set them up and use them, there's knot tying acenders, and more, do a search and check it out.
@@Shawn-yp9icyeah Derek Bristol is awesome he’s really the only TH-camr that has trustworthy and in depth vertical videos. I’ve just personally never tried my hand at rigging and knots I’ve always been with guys and gals of the grotto or a person of higher knowledge of rope safety so seeing a few cuts of it before the decent would be pretty cool!!
@@JayDeeFrm7400 I see, good luck and try to instill good habits and decide things that you will never cut corners or make exceptions on and stick to them. Also caving with someone who is careless or does things above his experience level or strength will eventually lead to him blowing it, and it could come in the form of kicking a big rock loose way above you, no telling.
5mins in and I'm already saying Matt from DEMOLITION RANCH needs to call you guys. You have a new subscriber, nothing but love and keep doing your thing.
Talking Rocks Cave tour is really good. Also the shopping is lots of geode and nice Rocks and some crafts made from rock. Use to be fairy cave in the 1930's. Branson West Missouri.
Whole video I’m chillin till you start jamming the camera into cracks trying to dig into them, that’s when my watch starts warning me about my heart rate
If going down 200+ feet into a cave wasnt sketchy enough you guys are now thinking hey I can dig under this rock and maybe climb under this collapsed tunnel...
Look up the local "grotto" (local chapter) of the NSS: national speleology society. Cave locations and maps tend to be semi-secret but if you get some training and meet the local people you can start getting shown locations.
In my parts of Virginia the karst ground leads to numerous sinkholes that get progressively bigger over time… I know of multiple farmers who have been filling the holes for years and they consume the fillers and the holes are 20-30 feet across. I actually have 2 cave openings on my property, 1 was filled and the other is closing off over time… I would love to see what is below. Rumor has it the exposed limestone that can be seen all around shows where the possible passageway leads.
@@Shawn-yp9ic It could be a lot of work though, depending on how much dirt needs to be removed. I’d think if it requires days of work with shovels you’d need to pull the dirt up so it doesn’t wash right back into the hole you’re digging when it rains. You also might want to adjust the descent route to prevent excessive foot traffic over the pretty flowstone.
@@marshallsweatherhiking1820 I'm not knowledgeable or experienced in dirt digging but I would hope to avoid pulling all that dirt up and out if I could. That was a long way up from the pit. Maybe if it was done right and you waited for a real heavy rain you could get the dirt to wash down and out with out plugging it up again, remove hand size and larger rocks. Also before completely excavating it to man size hole I'd consider digging it out enough to work a camera into the passage and try to determine if whatever opening that might be there is one that can be made big enough for a person from dirt removal. It may be that the rock passage has a constriction that is too small for an adult to get through and Id want to know that before digging too far. But I agree, could be a massive cave that opens up just beyond the mud clog. Worth checking.
Love your videos! Watch them with my sister… we were curious when you go on your next adventure if you could take a black light with you… just be curious to see when all the lights are out what it would look like especially with all this crystals and stuff in there.
Lots of caves in my area of Kentucky. Me and a local caver dug out a small opening to find a small cavern....but there is very large caverns within a mile or less of here, and I think its mostly unexplored.
Bless you all for doing something I would NEVER do, (and filming it for us) even when I was young, dumb and full of....well "need for thrill' But we did climb the Hollywood sign on mushrooms back in 1987, that was crazy. 4 story letters on a 60%+ grade, made it seem like you were up 10 stories, swaying back on forth, ON MUSHROOMS!!...those were the days!
100 years ago, this would have been an ideal location for an outhouse.

I agree. What is weird is that they hardly ever find bones in theses things.
I recommend you bring a portable gas detector with you when visiting not well known caves. Could save your life one day
I was jut gonna say, toxic gas in these tunnels isn't too uncommon

There seems to be a pretty steady supply of biomass falling down, im sure a cave like this has creatures that live in it year round, like the snake.
Not a shame, just nature.

Love your videos! Watch them with my sister… we were curious when you go on your next adventure if you could take a black light with you… just be curious to see when all the lights are out what it would look like especially with all this crystals and stuff in there.
You guys are OSM man ❤
That’s no cave. That’s the neighbors wife
Snarf snarf 😂
Damnnnn!! Lmao!!!
Just got done watching the Decent..this is great
Lots of caves in my area of Kentucky. Me and a local caver dug out a small opening to find a small cavern....but there is very large caverns within a mile or less of here, and I think its mostly unexplored.
Bless you all for doing something I would NEVER do, (and filming it for us) even when I was young, dumb and full of....well "need for thrill' But we did climb the Hollywood sign on mushrooms back in 1987, that was crazy. 4 story letters on a 60%+ grade, made it seem like you were up 10 stories, swaying back on forth, ON MUSHROOMS!!...those were the days!
Dope frog chilling down there I'd love to imagine he often swims in the crystal clear pool hes got in there
Awesome!!!
Nice toss!
Absolutely amazing
