If this cave system is relatively unknown you should submit a report to the NSS so some of the members can go out there and conduct a study. Bat environments are getting absolutely decimated and cave systems like this can support the bulk of entire species of bat. Obviously it's your decision, but it could make a massive difference.
im wondering too. there looks like some old remnants of weathered footsteps in some areas, and the ropes at the waterfall. would be cool to know where it is
@@OneBiasedOpinion IT SHOULD GET CLOSED OFF, FFS it has fucking bats. Where do you think covid came from? Nobody should be exploring this cave w/o significant supervision.
Watching this almost makes me want to go cave exploring but the knowledge that all it takes is a freak rainstorm outside to trap me inside and possibly die from drowning is too much.
Old TAG caver here. I instantly recognized this cave and got excited to see an old friend. This was one of our favorite caves and my notes showed we signed the log book 4 times in the 90's. It is so excellent to see it in high definition, thank you for sharing, it seems like it was just a couple of months ago since our last trip... Hard to believe it was over 25 years ago now. You showed me parts of that system I haven't seen, thank you! That pop-up with all the elephant tracks, oh yeah. :) The only time I ever saw cave pearls. Glad to see current cavers still respecting the motto.
It's definitely one of our favorite caves on the mountain for all the formations you cant see anywhere else! And we are super glad everyone left the cave pearls, we have only ever seen them in one other cave
Time for wetsuits! Love love these amazing caves and what it takes for you to find and film your adventure in them. Thank you so much. Nice to see more bats than normal.
I won't go with a wetsuit. I surfed for years. They are very uncomfortable and bulky if you are out of the water. Considering how tight some of those passages are it is definitely not worth it.
Don't normally watch cave videos and I'm glad to see cave pearls and cave bacon on the one time I clicked on a cave video. I would've never known it existed. This cave was absolutely beautiful with so many cool places.
These guys definately push the boundaries and show us some things many couldnt even reach due to not being able to handle the tight squeezes they fit through. Their safety record isnt always the best but theyve been getting better with that recently, hope you enjoy the rest of their work!
Definitely these guys are the best ! Their friends channels are cool but it's the brothers that make these videos so awesome best content by far on TH-cam 😊
@@CenterStarsChannel it's a shame. most people who collect things from caves just dont believe they will ever be able to show someone what they found in the cave unless they take it. it does hurt the next explorers greatly
You guys are pretty gnarly, 10 hours underground in an ice cold water cave is no easy feat. Some amazing formations down there, especially the cave pearls. I once saw similar cave pearls in a pool of moon milk, a super white water saturated with the whitest calcite you've ever seen. Awesome video as always fellas, outstanding.
Greetings from the UK. I love your channel, this must be one of the best videos ever, thank you so much for bringing it to me. At 80 years old I think I have seen it all, but you guys prove that I have seen noting really!
I implore you guys to find out where that bobcat got in, seems most likely there's a unknown entrance near those prints, so it would cut your total journey time to the waterfall in half. Definitely lucky those prints happened to be visible on the day you were there, they're probably washed away now making it so no one would suspect another way into the cave. Hopefully you guys remember exactly where those prints were👌
Just when I think you can't top a cave.. Then you find this. By far one of the coolest and certainly most unique caves I've seen y'all visit. The first half of that cave is just incredible! 😎 Wish I knew what cave this was!
this was one of the coolest caves i seen you all explore so many amazing formations, chandelier, pearls and the beautiful waterfall thank you for the video ❤
This was in turns surreal, astonishing and scary. The variety of formations in that cave was incredible. I am so glad you showed us a part of the earth we would never have known existed otherwise. And very glad you made it out safely. Don't you worry about hypothermia, though? Thank you for this adventure!
this cave was very spectacular for the formations it had!!! even so. we know this cave is ugly compared to some of the other caves we don't know about yet! this is just the tip of the iceberg!
I went through a huge spelunking phase with my best friend. Every weekend we would find a new cave, mostly always in north Alabama/ south TN. After being in any cave for at least 3 hours, everything starts to look the same. We would mark our path with neon orange yarn. The last time I ever went into a cave, we lost where we placed the yarn when we decided to turn back. We were almost 3 miles in. My everything was wet, and i started to really be unsure. Panic is going to be at the front of your mind but it HAS to be pushed to the back of your mind. You have to find your way out. And you have to do it all without hurting yourself. Although you’re underground, there can sometimes be 50-70 ft drop offs down into jagged limestone. You break a limb, especially a leg, you’re sure to die down there. Unless your partner is very competent.
Hey dude, I'm really trying to get into caving - How did you and your friend find so many? I am in arkansas so there is a decent amount here but I dont know where to start or how to look
@@Brainboostnetwork usually through an app I can’t remember maybe trailfinder? or just google searching popular caves in the area. But keep in mind, most of the time we’d have to drive over an hour sometimes up to three hours hours to get to a cave. Some will be at national parks, but some will be in very remote areas and require permits. But the permit is usually just easily obtained through a website.
To this day I'm still amazed that y'all know how to get *out* of the these winding caves, after going deeper and deeper inside for 5hrs and more. Like there's never a moment of _"Wait a sec... did we come from this way or that way?"_ and then just come across a pile of skeletons from past cavers.
@@RickyVall3y We are very good at navigating. When you are traveling into a cave, it is also good to look back often especially at confusing areas. Sometimes you can set rock cairns too but remove them on your way back out.
I miss doing this in my youth. I spent alot of time in hoy cave in Kentucky. It had some impressive spots. I'd sneak friends in and explore for hours. This was back when the back entrance was still hidden. I actually dug out a few spots that lead into new areas previously unknown of. Lots of fun. You guys are living the dream.
Do you know what would be awesome is if you guys could take really good detailed pictures of these formations that you find, and then put them in a calendar and sell it on your page. I’ve been a lot of people that like rocks and minerals would love to have some of those really unique looking formations in a big print. Anyways, it’s just an idea, love you guises channel.

@@whattheflyingfuck... It's called cave exploring isn't cheap and if you have a way to help make it a bit cheaper there's nothing wrong with trying, you know; instead of being a douchebag?
No no no. No thank you. I'd be scared of getting lost. Omg. You guys are so brave. It's beautiful. Thank you for getting this amazing footage and sharing with us who could never do this kind of stuff.
The power of water is insane.. I commend you guys for taking the risk to show us this hidden beauty of the world. I have unlocked a new fascination thanks to this video and will probably binge caving videos for the next several months
While I am usually sitting here cringing and with sweaty palms watching you guys in these tight areas, I am really proud to see younger generation that is so respectful. You guys are very positive, don't swear and you leave things how you found them in the caves. Minimally disturbing the environment and not taking home trinkets or destructing things. You are the kind of people that put your shopping carts back and don't go 10MPH under in the left lane. Kudos to you guys and your parents. They did well.
Idk how you weren't freaking out watching this. I was, cause cave exploring normally in tight spaces can be dangerous, now add getting hypothermia, increased slipping risk and drowning to the mix on top of going into a cave that hasnt been charted and possibly getting lost or stuck. I was terrified when he was crawling through the wide but very low water area at like the 16 min mark
Lol, "it's getting better" is a relative term ;). I'm purely a mine explorer, yours is the only cave exploring channel I watch :). That said, I think that cave would be well worth me going outside my comfort zone and exploring.
Thanks for sharing those formations. 7:05 The "chandelier" of thin spikes over the lumpy bumps with broken bits looking like a dinosaur nest is just not a situation I could imagine on my own. Caves are cool. Wild wild flowing stone it goes it goes. And I didn't get wet.
Thanks for doing this and filming it, because I would never attempt to do what you're doing. I guess it would be from a fear of drowning or the chance that it would collapse on me, but a heart felt thanks is appropriate.
there is so much going on in our minds when we go in these places. animals attacking us, freezing to death. being flattened by a boulder and of course drowning! vertical caves can be even worse because you have to worry about gravity taking you down in just a few seconds!
Well, I got to come along on another great adventure with you. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload to you tube. I would never get to see this stuff otherwise!
Thanks for your caving videos guys always wanted to do potholing as its called here in UK but illness and disability put paid to that. So watching you is a joy.
That chandelier of soda straws made me gasp while I was watching. Those were some gorgeous formations. There's no way I could manage those crawls you guys do... just watching them from the comfort of my home gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. So thanks for taking us along to see these wonders.
This cave is amazing, those formations would be so awesome to see IRL, do u guys travel to other states to check out caves? I love these videos, if I weren't claustrophobic I would love to check out some of these places
you can get over the claustrophobia. just do gnarlier and gnarlier portions of the cave until you are comfy! yes we go to other states if there is a cave to see!
Only thing that scares me or gives me anxiety is the thought of not remembering a turn or something when I want to get back out. Thats the crazy part to me.
This was a cool cave explore, a lil too tight for me but a lot of respect for Edward & James for straight ballsing it thru after so many hours and just pushing to see what there is to see. I think I might have detected a faint bit, maybe just a touch, of "I've had enoughism" from the Rockstar. lol. You guys continue straight killing it. Stay on the live side with us and I thank you for bringing us explorations and sights we'd never know with out you.
Like always you guys thanks for letting me tag along the water may be so cold that I am now sitting in front of a nice fire take care of yourselves be careful.
Love watching your videos guys,there always great fun,but what alot and beautiful formations in this cave. Well done even though I find it scary. Thank you for taking me on this fabulous cave trip,from my sofa. Love you guys ❤️
@@sweezlesquee Thats what I was thinking- I see that there are some records of animal prints on rocks in really deep caves like that but its not every time! Could tell a story!
The most interesting part is that, if you look closely, all these paw prints move to one direction. It seems like this cat walked this path multiple times like there are two entrances close to each other. I think the cat knew very well where it was going. Thats soo cool to see!
As an avid consumer of y'all's content I'd love to see y'all interviewed about your favorite experiences, scariest moments, greatest finds, climbing/ lighting/ filming equipment reviews, do's and donts of caving, tips and tricks to staying warm and navigating your way back out. Y'all are some epic explorers! I'd love to join y'all for an adventure one day! Keep being badasses fellas. Thanks for taking us along!
Would love for you to check out some of my caving content! We've been caving in this region for 20 years. There is so much to see and explore underground!
Every person that watches these videos of y'all's. Needs to share with their friends. So that we can get y'all over a million subscribers this year. Great Video
I love how you got all the way to that waterfall just to find a rope left by somebody who made it even _farther_ in. Cavers really are a unique kind of people. I’ve rarely seen a video where any cave explorer made it _past_ where someone else has dared to go and that’s just nuts to me.
we definitely made it further than anyone in this video. it wasn't on video but i had to move rocks to get in that last passage. in the rock pile. from what we heard climbing the rope will just run you right back into the rock pile.
Your videos awaken my twelve year old self. I was a climber, explorer. Thanks. Do you have any way to show how deep you are and where you are in relation to the surface? I can imagine you in a world somewhere under a shopping mall.😂
Well done unfortunately I will have nightmares. I am extremely Clostrophobic. even watching you guys go through. These caves gives me the chills but it's really cool to see. Thank you for being explorers be safe.
Wow! Fascinating! 1. Why is the rope at the waterfall? Is it a known spot? How old do you think that rope is? 2. Have you found out what makes the black color in the formations? @ 8:20 in the video... what causes that!? 3. What state are you exploring? Are all the caves you explore in the same state? I'm really digging your channel.. But now I have so many questions! LOL
Oh man! So many bats! I love bats though they dont scare me at all. They are one of the most awesome creatures and have such a great benefit to nature its incredible. I rescued one once when it flew into my house and knocked itself out. I put it in a box with a little blanked so it could hang onto it upside down and gave it water in a soda bottle cap. It hung out for 3 days until it finally recovered enough to fly away. It was awesome to watch. I've been a huge bat fan ever since.
I’ve watched several of your videos, and this is the most beautiful cave of the ones that I watched. I’d love to see it in person, what great cave bacon! - but I think that’s as far as I’d go- no ear dipping for me!
Are those tracks fossils, Or at least very old and preserved animal prints? Very cool! Also those ropes at the end in the waterfall, from previous explorers or from a water well? Amazing rock formations, especially the giraffe spots 😂 I wonder what minerals cause that!
With all that bat poop landing in that "crystal clear mountain spring water" just feet before it runs out of the mountain, I feel sorry for all the poor rubes who took drinks from it when hiking by!
Thanks for taking me along with you! I had a great time. Best of all I don’t feel tired at all. I could’ve stayed another 10 hours with you guys. I think I like the chandelier and the pearls the best I look forward to our next adventure together! I know you guys probably don’t have the time or the money for the equipment but it sure would be amazing if you could take some high resolution photographs of the tiny things that you see in there. Like the chandelier, that would be really cool if that was a high-resolution photograph like a panorama or an object VR video, so we could grab a hold of it and turn it around and see all the different facets of it, but that would probably take about 15 minutes per photograph but it sure would be cool and that would make your channel the most impressive. If you have questions about it, I can teach you how to do it. It’s basically just taking a photograph every 15° and I’m using Photoshop to stitched together into a VR object video!
you definitely get it. we barely have time or money to film the cave using a go pro. if we stopped to take pics we would be in there for days and them cameras are expensive and a cave like this is a very harsh environment to try and bring a camera into
if they make a good waterproof camera that is small enough we want to know about it. but until then a high quality smartphone is the way to go for pictures!
I want to know if there is an opening you guys are unaware of for those cat prints. That is nuts! Were they fresh or fossilized or hardened like they've been there a long time?
I'm from south central Indiana and your videos are stupid crazy. They're super delicate systems, but they are abundant and very VERY deep! HYUGE respect to you guys for choosing to not disclose some or all of your locations. Freaking awesome.
Awesome video, I did a lot of caving when I lived in Thailand. I use to visit a crystal cave close to my home in Kanchanaburi. Where my son is also has a special cave that is very deep but I understand an important concept cave partners. Again amazing video! Seeing all the intricate designs formed over time. I wonder the age of some of the wonderous things you showed? 1000's 10000's? Some of the larger stuff even longer. I see you guys found an Aladdin's cave of leaverite and it showed in your care shown to the delicate formations you witnessed. This is the dark dark earth. I hope you took a moment to turn all the lights off (Even though I wonder if its the same rule of night diving never turn of the light entirely). It reminded me of Dungeons and Dragons, and what a great place to set up a jump scare.
I would love to do this but not crawl through the super tight spaces. I’m cool with going as far as I can on 2 feet and turning back around lol. Also idk how you guys find your way back out in areas that you have to zig zag through multiple places. I’ve tried to find tv shows of people doing this because I love the way everything looks. Shockingly nothing really exists. I’ll be watching your videos.
Anyone have thoughts on how/why a bobcat would be hanging out a few miles underground? I know they have great eyesight in the dark but surely in the pitch black of a cave they wont see anything. How would it know where to go?
Well you know the old saying about curiosity & cats? Might have let it's curious nature lead it down and around one too many corners, gotten spooked and rushed to get out but only went farther. In pitch darkness there is surely things in the convoluted pathway back out that prevent finding your way without being able to see. Eventually the cold and hunger won out and during the once in while big flood from a great storm it's remains where taken deeper like a toilet flushing it down.
Just moved to tn, go out two times a week looking for caves, yet to find any that are not gated off or pay to enter. Will one day. Cheers, thanks for the inspiration.
The only thing stopping me from laying face down and scooting through a few inches of water under a large overhanging rock is every fiber of my entire being.
I was really impressed by your spelunking adventure! It sounded incredible, and I wish I could have been a part of it. Thank you for sharing your experience and making my day!
Yeah that's exactly what happened to some people. They were wearing wetsuits so they survived several days until the water receeded but it's very cold down there!!
@@ActionAdventureTwins wow really?? Stay safe out there guys! You obviously know what you're doing, and when you get super sketch spots plz remember to take a minute and make sure everythings safe. There's always another day
Absolutely love seeing every video yall make. Incredible journeys. Just please check water table and weather before you leave ❤ would be nice to keep seeing videos from yall Edit, incredible cave formations here, really spectacular stuff
Wow. Whats the deal with the cat paw prints? How did a cat get back that far in a pitch dark cave? Are they fossilized? That is really wild! Great video!
This is what I came to say, why would a cat swim through a cave and keep going that far, it’s dark and cold and wet, seems to defy an animal’s instincts

Thanks so much for sharing this. I'm scared of heights and closed spaces. This is the only way I can see these wonderful places.
Equal parts fascinating, wholesome, and enthralling. So many almost scripted perfections.
This is by far the most beautiful cave I’ve ever seen. So many different formations ❤ WOW
Hanging out watching 👀....hope you guys collect some of them awesome crystals..
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you guys by documenting it, was super cool.
Please get a 360 cam down some of these awesome caves if that's financially plausible. Looks knarly as hell then its super rewarding too 🥶🥳 Kudos
Dude, this cave was insanely cold, we need to try to climb that waterfall when the water is a tad bit less lol
Why do you guys not have insulated wet suits? Lol
@@alwaysstrapped814climbing up a waterfall is a fairly bad idea, especially if its cold.
@@Phosphorite05 So is cave diving but that isn’t stopping them! Lol
@@AidanS99 cave diving has special equipment for that diving
And enough die with it
Climbing a waterfall can also drown you
in the spring and summer it's probably flooded
The water entrance was well worth it with this one. Great job and thank you for the footage!
Thanks for doing this and filming it, because I would never attempt to do what you're doing. I guess it would be from a fear of drowning or the chance that it would collapse on me, but a heart felt thanks is appropriate.
there is so much going on in our minds when we go in these places. animals attacking us, freezing to death. being flattened by a boulder and of course drowning! vertical caves can be even worse because you have to worry about gravity taking you down in just a few seconds!
Well, I got to come along on another great adventure with you. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload to you tube. I would never get to see this stuff otherwise!
Thanks for your caving videos guys always wanted to do potholing as its called here in UK but illness and disability put paid to that. So watching you is a joy.
That chandelier of soda straws made me gasp while I was watching. Those were some gorgeous formations. There's no way I could manage those crawls you guys do... just watching them from the comfort of my home gives me the screaming heebie-jeebies. So thanks for taking us along to see these wonders.
that's the kind of reaction we want to hear about!
Thank you for your videos. I love watching them with my kids. You guys are awesome.
This cave is amazing, those formations would be so awesome to see IRL, do u guys travel to other states to check out caves? I love these videos, if I weren't claustrophobic I would love to check out some of these places
COLD !!!! Love em
you can get over the claustrophobia. just do gnarlier and gnarlier portions of the cave until you are comfy! yes we go to other states if there is a cave to see!
Really really appreciate your bravery brothers. Excellent video 👍
Only thing that scares me or gives me anxiety is the thought of not remembering a turn or something when I want to get back out. Thats the crazy part to me.
when the tight crawls and water hit you at the same time you will feel much more than just the anxiety of being lost!
wait until your lights die
@@ActionAdventureTwins thats comforting
This was a cool cave explore, a lil too tight for me but a lot of respect for Edward & James for straight ballsing it thru after so many hours and just pushing to see what there is to see. I think I might have detected a faint bit, maybe just a touch, of "I've had enoughism" from the Rockstar. lol. You guys continue straight killing it. Stay on the live side with us and I thank you for bringing us explorations and sights we'd never know with out you.
Like always you guys thanks for letting me tag along the water may be so cold that I am now sitting in front of a nice fire take care of yourselves be careful.
we can tell you really feel our videos! thanks for always being with us carl!
Love watching your videos guys,there always great fun,but what alot and beautiful formations in this cave. Well done even though I find it scary. Thank you for taking me on this fabulous cave trip,from my sofa. Love you guys ❤️
What an experience! 🤩The cave is unbelievable. Don't know how you guys can handle that cold water though. Thanks for taking us on a YT adventure.
our mind screams for us to get out of there. we both help each other push through it! yall help us too!
How are the cat prints there?! Thats really cool!! I never knew you could discover so many beautiful things in a cave
I wonder too
There must be an opening to the surface closer to that area that nobody knows about
@@sweezlesquee Thats what I was thinking- I see that there are some records of animal prints on rocks in really deep caves like that but its not every time! Could tell a story!
The most interesting part is that, if you look closely, all these paw prints move to one direction. It seems like this cat walked this path multiple times like there are two entrances close to each other. I think the cat knew very well where it was going. Thats soo cool to see!
As an avid consumer of y'all's content I'd love to see y'all interviewed about your favorite experiences, scariest moments, greatest finds, climbing/ lighting/ filming equipment reviews, do's and donts of caving, tips and tricks to staying warm and navigating your way back out.
Y'all are some epic explorers! I'd love to join y'all for an adventure one day! Keep being badasses fellas. Thanks for taking us along!
Would love for you to check out some of my caving content! We've been caving in this region for 20 years. There is so much to see and explore underground!
That is so wickedly awesome. Thank you so mutch fer takein me along. I would never see it without ya.
Would love for you to check out some of my caving videos!
Awesome video today, sometimes I get a little bit nervous for you guys, just be careful. ❤️
Every person that watches these videos of y'all's. Needs to share with their friends. So that we can get y'all over a million subscribers this year. Great Video
Would love for you to check out my caving videos as well!
thanks for believing in us! it would mean the world to us to reach 1 million. if it takes all our life to get there that's ok!
What an adventure these videos take all of us on! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Great crawl guys hahaha... your vids are great, some of the best on yt. Can't wait to see where you guys find next!
- B.D
I definitely enjoyed this one. One of the most intense cave videos of yours that I've seen. Love the cheetah rock with all the black spots!
it such a unique pattern! never seen it in any other cave!
The paw prints were AWESOME!!
That’s what I was thinking, you also gotta feel bad for the poor animals getting stuck down there in the dark!
I love how you got all the way to that waterfall just to find a rope left by somebody who made it even _farther_ in. Cavers really are a unique kind of people. I’ve rarely seen a video where any cave explorer made it _past_ where someone else has dared to go and that’s just nuts to me.
we definitely made it further than anyone in this video. it wasn't on video but i had to move rocks to get in that last passage. in the rock pile. from what we heard climbing the rope will just run you right back into the rock pile.
@@ActionAdventureTwins you don’t worry about displacing a rock that would lead to some kind of collapse? Or does that not happen
that was amazing....you 2 are like fearless,great job exploring
"I have never seen so many bats before!" **proceeds to zoom in on a spider**
Wow!!! Crazy stuff in that cave!!! AMAZING!
Your videos awaken my twelve year old self. I was a climber, explorer. Thanks. Do you have any way to show how deep you are and where you are in relation to the surface? I can imagine you in a world somewhere under a shopping mall.😂
12 year old self: me too!
@@nutcase0001 Me 3.....Goonie's forever, lol.
@@harrynutsackk I tell folks all the time: on the outside I'm an old man, but on the inside I'm just a 12 year old.
@@nutcase0001 same 💯💙💙
3 rd video now 4 me. I have to say yall sound like good dudes to me. No cussing on vids is nice. Shows class and respect for kids. Thanks
Well done unfortunately I will have nightmares. I am extremely Clostrophobic. even watching you guys go through. These caves gives me the chills but it's really cool to see. Thank you for being explorers be safe.
I'm at 15:42 and I have to start skipping, cause I feel like I'm going to puke just from watching.😂
@@T-Mo_ Ditto :)
That cave was incredible guys! Good find!
Wow! Fascinating!
1. Why is the rope at the waterfall? Is it a known spot? How old do you think that rope is?
2. Have you found out what makes the black color in the formations? @ 8:20 in the video... what causes that!?
3. What state are you exploring? Are all the caves you explore in the same state?
I'm really digging your channel.. But now I have so many questions! LOL
Oh man! So many bats! I love bats though they dont scare me at all. They are one of the most awesome creatures and have such a great benefit to nature its incredible. I rescued one once when it flew into my house and knocked itself out. I put it in a box with a little blanked so it could hang onto it upside down and gave it water in a soda bottle cap. It hung out for 3 days until it finally recovered enough to fly away. It was awesome to watch. I've been a huge bat fan ever since.
coolbreeze as in sketchers?
we used to see commercials on tv with coolbreeze
you are the best for caring for a creature in need.
@@ActionAdventureTwins Whoa...nobody remembers those commercials! Or so I thought 😂
Right out from a Jule’s Verne Book ‘’Journey to the Center of the Earth 🌍’’……. Fantastic Exploration AA-Twins…….. Awesome Videotaping 🎆
Not only are you guys having healthy fun but you are brave and letting us see wonderful hidden places. Much Respect
I’ve watched several of your videos, and this is the most beautiful cave of the ones that I watched. I’d love to see it in person, what great cave bacon! - but I think that’s as far as I’d go- no ear dipping for me!
Are those tracks fossils, Or at least very old and preserved animal prints? Very cool!
Also those ropes at the end in the waterfall, from previous explorers or from a water well?
Amazing rock formations, especially the giraffe spots 😂 I wonder what minerals cause that!
we have no idea. there are people who can determine how old the prints are but we don't know. whatever made them could possibly be extinct by now
Was it soft ground where an imprint could be made or was it stone and fossilized? @@ActionAdventureTwins
@sgwa11 the ground was soft.... which come to think of it might mean whatever made them could have still been in the cave with us
One of the coolest caves you guys have explored imo.
Hopefully you don't wake up the dragon!!!
Please wake up the dragon. Humanity needs a common goal.
maybe a couple of Dragons, let's reduce the population🙌🏼😂
Unless it's Kilgharrah, we need Kilgharrah.
With all that bat poop landing in that "crystal clear mountain spring water" just feet before it runs out of the mountain, I feel sorry for all the poor rubes who took drinks from it when hiking by!
Wowww what a decoration inside.. nature is really beautiful , thank you dudes for showing us a beautiful cave.
Proud of you boys for always pushing forward.
That cave is insane😝amazing what the water does to the rock.. and what's up with those cat prints?😝 that's just sick😝
Amazing cave. One of the coolest I’ve seen you explore. I am moving to the are and would love to explore this one.
Thanks for taking me along with you! I had a great time. Best of all I don’t feel tired at all. I could’ve stayed another 10 hours with you guys. I think I like the chandelier and the pearls the best I look forward to our next adventure together! I know you guys probably don’t have the time or the money for the equipment but it sure would be amazing if you could take some high resolution photographs of the tiny things that you see in there. Like the chandelier, that would be really cool if that was a high-resolution photograph like a panorama or an object VR video, so we could grab a hold of it and turn it around and see all the different facets of it, but that would probably take about 15 minutes per photograph but it sure would be cool and that would make your channel the most impressive. If you have questions about it, I can teach you how to do it. It’s basically just taking a photograph every 15° and I’m using Photoshop to stitched together into a VR object video!
Would love for you to check out some of my caving videos! I love to do caving photography and also feature some of it in my videos.
you definitely get it. we barely have time or money to film the cave using a go pro. if we stopped to take pics we would be in there for days and them cameras are expensive and a cave like this is a very harsh environment to try and bring a camera into
if they make a good waterproof camera that is small enough we want to know about it. but until then a high quality smartphone is the way to go for pictures!
I want to know if there is an opening you guys are unaware of for those cat prints. That is nuts! Were they fresh or fossilized or hardened like they've been there a long time?
I'm from south central Indiana and your videos are stupid crazy.
They're super delicate systems, but they are abundant and very VERY deep!
HYUGE respect to you guys for choosing to not disclose some or all of your locations.
Freaking awesome.
You guys are true adventurers. Maybe a bit uncatious though. Thanks for sharing this gem.
Awesome video, I did a lot of caving when I lived in Thailand. I use to visit a crystal cave close to my home in Kanchanaburi. Where my son is also has a special cave that is very deep but I understand an important concept cave partners. Again amazing video! Seeing all the intricate designs formed over time. I wonder the age of some of the wonderous things you showed? 1000's 10000's? Some of the larger stuff even longer. I see you guys found an Aladdin's cave of leaverite and it showed in your care shown to the delicate formations you witnessed. This is the dark dark earth. I hope you took a moment to turn all the lights off (Even though I wonder if its the same rule of night diving never turn of the light entirely). It reminded me of Dungeons and Dragons, and what a great place to set up a jump scare.
We turn the lights off every once in awhile to appreciate the silence!
This one was like an art exposition inside a cave, lol
Wonderful exploration, thanks for sharing👍. Glad you didn’t get hypothermia 🥶
I would love to do this but not crawl through the super tight spaces. I’m cool with going as far as I can on 2 feet and turning back around lol. Also idk how you guys find your way back out in areas that you have to zig zag through multiple places. I’ve tried to find tv shows of people doing this because I love the way everything looks. Shockingly nothing really exists. I’ll be watching your videos.
Glad I get to do this vicariously through you! Thanks!
Anyone have thoughts on how/why a bobcat would be hanging out a few miles underground? I know they have great eyesight in the dark but surely in the pitch black of a cave they wont see anything. How would it know where to go?
Well you know the old saying about curiosity & cats? Might have let it's curious nature lead it down and around one too many corners, gotten spooked and rushed to get out but only went farther. In pitch darkness there is surely things in the convoluted pathway back out that prevent finding your way without being able to see. Eventually the cold and hunger won out and during the once in while big flood from a great storm it's remains where taken deeper like a toilet flushing it down.
So many cool features in that cave. I hope someone has photographed it too.
How do you find these locations in the first place? It’s really awesome and creepy at the same time.
its half us getting out there and searching and its half others helping us out!
Just moved to tn, go out two times a week looking for caves, yet to find any that are not gated off or pay to enter. Will one day. Cheers, thanks for the inspiration.
The only thing stopping me from laying face down and scooting through a few inches of water under a large overhanging rock is every fiber of my entire being.
I was really impressed by your spelunking adventure! It sounded incredible, and I wish I could have been a part of it. Thank you for sharing your experience and making my day!
This seems like the type of cave that you go in and then the water rises and you get trapped like those kids over seas. WEATHER CHECK!!
Yeah that's exactly what happened to some people. They were wearing wetsuits so they survived several days until the water receeded but it's very cold down there!!
@@ActionAdventureTwins wow really?? Stay safe out there guys! You obviously know what you're doing, and when you get super sketch spots plz remember to take a minute and make sure everythings safe. There's always another day
That was amazing to see! Thank you for sharing such an amazing place!
Absolutely love seeing every video yall make. Incredible journeys. Just please check water table and weather before you leave ❤ would be nice to keep seeing videos from yall
Edit, incredible cave formations here, really spectacular stuff
cant check the water table yet but we can check the weather!
Absolutely Love you guys. Thank you for your Adventurous life style you let us share with you. Stay Safe in all you do.
Wow. Whats the deal with the cat paw prints? How did a cat get back that far in a pitch dark cave? Are they fossilized? That is really wild! Great video!
Yeah that's the weirdest part of the video to me, I must know!
This is what I came to say, why would a cat swim through a cave and keep going that far, it’s dark and cold and wet, seems to defy an animal’s instincts
@Mike Graeff I know, right? It's really weird.
I would never.... but love seeing people enjoy their craft... keep it up and stay safe.
To niesamowite miejsce! Łał!!! Jestem zachwycony. Brak mi słów. Coś fantastycznego. Jakby na inne planecie. Brawa za odwagę chłopaki.
Wow, some of the places you guys go ... amazing!
