This is my worst nightmare. Watching this I literally want to scream at this man, "WHY?! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! STOP IT!"
His dad is a caver. His grandad is a caver. The genes are really crazy.
Self-glorification. It equates to what ethics would call false risk. Authentic risk is solely for others. The 'ME, I'm IT' strikes again. The worst cases of this rot though are in church leadership. They claim they risk but in fact risk nothing, and gain the world.
I feel the same.
idk but they seem to be prepared. I wouldn't do it myself but they're not some random crazy dudes.
@@zokalyxGreat observation. We are very prepared and experienced. That may not sound reasonable, but we really are not risking our lives. A bit of skin sore does get left behind, however. Thanks for watching
It’s nice to watch people do things I’ll never dare to do. Thanks for filming and sharing!
Nice comment. We love caving. The family has enjoyed the sport since the 1950’s. The interned has just exposed this great sport. God Bless.
This convinced me to never go cave exploring.
It ain’t worth it chief
Go to Dorsia instead.
I would think that this guy is probably exploring the hardest caves. I'm sure that there a re plenty of caves out there where there aren't really any super tight squeezes shown.
At least not ones like this
True same here...i am not going to try anything like this ever....huuuuuu sooo terrifying

I don't know how it started, but suddenly I've been watching these types of videos for more than a week and it always comes to my mind that by watching them so much and often, specially before sleep, my subconscious is going to create a nightmare that will make me feel the same same agony or claustrophobia in a real way in my dreams... , but still, I sleep like baby.
Great comment! Cavers sleep well, except for the scrapes, bruises, and sore joints. It’s a great addiction.
@@billsanders9387no it’s not dumb
I feel the same omg😂
@@comfortorie7984 maybe because we have a positive attitude and don't suffer from traumas
mabe these video's will inspire you to explore a cave yourself on day?
Bravo guys, 👏🏼 amazing!
I went through confined space training in the fire academy and I have explored some amature caves but those tight spaces I've never gotten super comfortable with. When it comes to caves there's just something about that stillness & how the quiet sounds to me that creeps me out and instantly jacks my heart rate up.
The saying "just because you can doesn't mean you should" has never been more applicable
The saying “Don’t knock it until you try it” may apply too.
@@billsanders9387 I would say there are plenty of if not a practically uncountable number of things I can "knock" without having to actually try. So "Just because you can doesn't mean you should." Is a significantly better notion to live by.

How amazingly you can make conversations and keep your mind Focused stay safe guys 🤲🏻
Interviewing your team would be my great adventure in life. I’m intrigued by the topic. It would be cool to hear your drive to map more deeply explained. I’d love to open the conversation for parents trying to explain these adventures to their kids. Why these new things they’re seeing on TH-cam are “in real life” but, are also worth waiting for. I admire the way you work together. Extreme just… doesn’t cut it. We need a new word for this trip.
watching this elevated my heart rate while sitting motionless in my gamer chair
Welyn explain please to a fan like me WHY your videos are so fcking addictive. Love u man
add caves to rust and make it if you eat too much pumpkins you get stuck
I knew this channel would begin to gain some serious traction. Now I see Welyn here, it’s only a matter of time before this takes off.
no Welyn you cant build a base in there xD

You deserve a cave trip, loyal follower. We do that on occasion.
My heart was jamming while watching the beginning of that. Absolutely Respect to you , you put your life on the way.
Why would you respect someone who puts the life on the line for literally no reason, even he admits he doesn't know why he does it, this is idiocy at it's finest

Same, and I watched 10 seconds.
For real
Woo I watched the whole thing but yeah my legs are literally cramping up from watching this I could never do it.
I am actually relieved to see you guys making alterations to the cave to enable easier passage. Over time, and with care, these small things can save lives.
Only when we absolutely have to. Thanks for watching
What lives? The ones they decided to endanger? Facepalm.

@@alexshatner3907 We have encountered a few creatures and it’s all on video. A beard of spiders (probably hundreds) fell on my head. That is not too unusual.
Rattlesnakes near entrances, a nesting pair of buzzards, a hibernating black bear, but never the dangerous Homo sapiens. We’re too remote for those monsters.
@@billsanders9387 Thanks Bill for some reason I have nightmares when I sleep of being stuck in a cave or tight crevice, and hyperventilating and waking up in cold sweats. It all started with the Nutty Putty experience I heard about on you tube. You guys are incredibly brave, can you imagine a cardiac arrest when you have just past are 300 feet, of pure tight confinements, plus getting lost, not remembering your way out, cuz of many new openings that all of a sudden you confront, not to mention barely passing through a tight hole that is in a funnel configuration, you just don't know it until you manage to slide through, but on your way back, you coming back through the opposite side of the funnel, so now all you have is a 15" crevice where it is practically impossible to come back through. I'm trembling just to to think about that happening, hearing voices, or demonic sounds, I don't know, i'm traumatized, sorry Bill, for letting go my emotional pain, of one of you not ever coming back.
@@alexshatner3907 Should that happen, we know the Great Creator. We do not fear death at all. We do however, cave with the intent to survive the day. God Bless!
This is unimaginable to me. This looks like the absolute most terrifying thing ever. I hate heights and shit and I would WAY rather skydive or bungee jump or ANYTHING more than this. I’d rather swim with a great white man.
@Christopher Irwin That is brave tho

Never swim with a great white man nor conduct business with him.

Seriously, why?! Not *"why does these men"* who obviously have an extended period of time honing their skills, but why to myself? Why does some little betch like myself, completely terrified of confined spaces, who will literally have anxiety the rest of the night, feel the need to watch this man engage in the most terrifying hobby I've ever seen?
Edit: Christ I got a notification for a comment and stupidly came back and re-watched this video. Why Thomas?!
Great comment, Tom. We have a family history of exploring the unseen world, and it continually draws us back. We have just explored the largest unknown cave in the past 40 years in America. We never ask “why”. It is just “when, where, and who’s joining us?”
True hahahaha
This is probably the only thing I wouldn’t do for a million dollars
same man, any amount of money would be out of the question..
or billion lol
My thoughts initially, but after thinking about it if someone offered me a million I’d sack up and do it. I’d do it for 10k even
this is my biggest fear to be honest
Im out too, i like to breath
The amount of anxiety I have watching this, is horrendous, for me this is the equivalent of being buried alive. Obviously, this guys are so great at their work.

Yup, they look cool from my television.
Imagine finally reaching the end, then having to turn back around and do it again. I could never. Amazing work guys.
Also there is a possibility of any portion of that cave collapsing or getting tighter making you stuck there permanently. People that get freaked out about being stuck in tight spaces will often become even more stuck and start to hyperventilate. The key is to stay calm and move slow exhaling each time you move with one arm in front and one arm behind

I don’t know if this is true or not but I think that most caving expeditions are done by drones and cameras first to make sure it’s even possible

@@marblemannn547 before cameras tho
When judging wideness of an opening have you ever considered bring a ballon to inflate to visually confirm?
Just a shower thought.
Props to yall I couldn’t do that. But glad someone is willing and curious enough to go do it
I can't believe as a kid I would hastily go crawling around in caves and tunnels without a 2nd thought. Now as an adult there is no way in hell you could get me to go crawling around in a cave now. Far too dangerous of an activity for me now
Sometimes we grow to understand the risk. So it's not like we are less courageous we are just more well informed.
But it's also fun to always be a kid!
@@CalvinHikes well said sir
I went caving as a kid in Wales UK, wouldn’t think twice of crawling along passages getting stuck many times. You couldn’t pay me all the money in the world to go back in a cave

aw hell nah
@@CalvinHikes Do you need to take a rabies vaccine incase your in a space that has had alot of bats occupy it?
The scariest part of this video to me (and caving in general) is that the rocks do not forgive. You can't push open a crack to make it out easier, there's no way to squeeze through a gap just a fraction of an inch too small for you. Everything is so solid and there's no undo, which is just terrifying to me.
Mountains move, too 😐 _squeezing_
Yeh I totally get what you say. It’s not like it’s brick work that can knocked away, its not like you can bend rock, it has no give in it whatsoever. All you have too be is that few millimetres too big and it can be game over. I can’t even process the thought of getting stuck, especially like that poor kid in those Nutty Putty caves who got stuck and they were unable to free him. It took him hours too pass away. I think eventually he died of heart failure from being suspended more or less upside down.
I just wonder what these guys have in their head to crawl inside a narrow space without knowing whats in front.
@@matty6848 that one I thought about for hours after watching the video about it. Pure anxiety.
"there's no undo" yes... That's the most probably definitely extraordinary terrifying thing ever.
My heart just did a work out, even built up a healthy sweat, no need for a gym workout today.Thanks guys.
What's scarier, than doing is without informing anyone and getting stuck, is getting stuck and when help arrives all you hear is "We're sorry..."
We are our only available help
Never in my life has such a calm group of individuals given me so much anxiety
I like your comment. Cavers really are unique. The silence, solitude, and incredible beauty underground cannot be expressed in words. We relate to each other.
exactly. they are so calm yet i´m so worried for them even knowing they are fine.
This has got to be one of the most physically and mentally grueling things a person can put themselves through.
Maybe, but also very enjoyable.
Once you get used to it, I'm sure it's fine
This is important work, I honestly commend those who can do it.
Hope no one had flatulence,right?
Nope, there's Cave Diving where they do this very same thing ,but under water ,yes under water.
Number 1 most terrifying thing I can imagine. Every 45 seconds or so I have a minor panic attack just watching. Like I'm legit having like convulsions from my body and brain trying to make sure I can still move. This Is bonkers. Never never never. The only "would you rather go caving or..." scenario i would accept would be "or get trapped while caving"...
I understand the humour here, keep on!
I cannot for the life of me fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to this, but I'm envious of the anti anxiety gene that cavers have, my brain would never let me do this 🤯
No such gene exists. We contain the thoughts and harness the fear energy to move forward. Crazy fun.
@@billsanders9387 That isn't true. Genes have significant effects on most aspects of physiology. For example, people who have a specific polymorphism in 5ht1a genes are half as likely to be in a romantic relationship than people without the gene polymorphism.
Don't be envious of stupidity man. People like to mask stupidness and recklessness with some type of conquering of fear mentality. Humans are not the most intelligent of species and decisions like these proves it.
@@billsanders9387 It may not be a gene, but there is no way to know that you feel the same level of fear and distress that other people do. Perhaps the reason you are able to push through it is just because it doesn't affect you as much.
@@billsanders9387I could have swore the behavioral scientist who interviewed the Ice man murderer claimed there was one.
Where people are born not having the same fear or fight or flight gene that The rest of us have.
Most of those people become test pilots, race car drivers etc.
But since he also had a anti personality disorder he became a murderer because he lacked empathy..
I'll share it real quick. Maybe he's full of crap idk
Imagine getting out of that cave after doing that, it would probably make you feel grateful that you can stand normally
Exactly. It’s a pleasant euphoria, with PBJ waiting in the truck. Great comment.
That’s why it gets addictive to them… the feeling afterwards
Oh my goodness i can't breathe properly watching this video nightmare fuel for days
Watching this isn't just a test of claustrophobia anymore-it's like trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.
The fear of being stuck between the two walls and not being able to move your head,hands and legs is terrifying me
So don't get stuck
@@CalvinHikes I know I won’t get stuck. You’ll never find me in that hell hole. I can understand jumping out of planes and other extreme sports but this one baffles me.
@@realamerican7988 "I know I won’t get stuck. You’ll never find me in that hell hole."
hahaha. So true. I'd rather be sent directly to Ukraine than go anywhere near this torture pit of discomfort, darkness and dirt.
Shit, our country has now become one of types of horror 🫠
With this think of a snake or any other thing
It's not the tight spaces that bothers me. It's the sick feeling when my movement is restrained. And the fact that no light or exit is in sight. Y'all are incredible. Keep up the awesome videos.
For me it's that and the fear of being stuck and being unable to get out cuz of restriction
So in other words it's the tight spaces that bother you LOL
I know you have another meaning hut to me it's literally the same. Tight spaces limit movement which is why it's a "tight space". That's kind of it's whole thing. At least for non flexible material. But even hiding under a blanket generally limits movement a tiny but and makes a tight space so idk what you could possibly mean by it doesn't bother you in that way xD
@@SkarletShadows I mean true you are right lmao it's basically the same it's all connected
I'm not afraid of tight spaces, moreso suffocation. They had to exhale completely to get through some places and the thought of still getting stuck and not being able to breathe in would be what terrifies me
@@justarandomguy117 Whats your bank details mate
this can be the most fearsome and stressful entertainment stuff anybody could do
The closest I ever come to caving, is crawling through my attic and avoiding the roofing nails.
You’re trained for a cave already.
Hands down, this is the worst youtube experience I've had in my life. Not for all of the money in the world.
Thank you so much! That's probably the best comment I've read in a week.
@@CalvinHikes I literally don't know how you all do it, it's utterly terrifying. Excuse me while I go into the fetal position.
Nope
im with ya... i watched this video months ago and this is by far the hardest to watch
I am thinking exactly the same: not for all of the money in the world!
my chest is literally hurting from anxiety while watching this at 5 minutes in. You have to have so much composure and an insane amount of confidence in your abilities to do this. So crazy
Mental strength meets human limits. One has to give. We expand the limits.
Snap I'm having palpitations this is my worst nightmare
@@billsanders9387 oh wow
you dudes are next level
Imagine once you've squeezed through one of those impossibly small and tight gaps, and then you suddenly panic and realise you're now trapped, you have very tight squeezes whether you push on or go back. Also the further you go on, the more you have to go back through to get out. That is what would make me really panic.
Although I do find this scary and sometimes uncomfortable, the idea of being most likely the first person ever to lay eyes on these hidden places is wonderful. You’re really living and it’s great to see❤️
That's one of the draws for sure.
If I had to describe it, I would say it almost exactly how you did.
We were without a doubt the first people to see this cave. Jacob was the first person through the squeezes. We sent him on a reconnaissance mission last year to determine if there was a cave past the entrance. Then we spent the better part of a year trying to grind away the edges so people not the size of Jacob could fit. This was the first time others had been in.
@@CalvinHikes awesome stuff guys, keep doing what you’re doing🤙
yeah...idk. To make that worthwhile Im gonna need more then another cave on the other side. I want to see El Dorado or the lost city of Atlantis at the very least!!
@@catz4m8z how are you gonna know if you don’t look🤷♂️
@@rhysrigley4594 that says more about than anything mate
I'm not claustrophobic but after watching this.. I think I'm now...
Exactly the same with me💀
Same 😶
Anyone that says they are not claustrophobic just hasn't found the right circumstance to bring it out yet.
This is the most claustrophobic I’ll ever be
@@Justgoingby I just got Rick rolled
Unfortunately, he was the one who entered the cave who felt suffocated because he saw him
Cameraman is the true GOAT.
