How are there comments 4 months ago when this just dropped? o.0
But seriously, thanks for the update. Love your content on both channels.
We release most videos to our patreon supporters first. Sometimes far in advance of dropping them on the regular channel. And there are several videos available there which will never be made public.
@@EvenDarker Oh very cool!
If I were brave enough I would go & clean house! Bye bye garbage pit !
Please just be careful.
Didn't they close this cave after Jones died?
I’m here because I wouldn’t be there.
That’s what this is all about. We are trying to find there.
😂👌, a good survival instinct is key to life 😅
I still can't quite fathom how all the trash is able to get that deep into the crack. Wouldn't most of it accumulate at the first sharp bend and then get significantly less?
I think wind and rain account for a lot of it barreling all the way to the bottom. But I really can't figure it out either I've seen trash around many corners. It seems to be able to work itself anywhere underground. I once dug into an area and found trash. No idea how I got there except that it seems to be able to tumble its way through every possible crack.
What state are yall in? That's beautiful! Aside from all the litter!
We're in one of the states with the least caves in the united states. I think bottom 5.
We do most of our caving in the pacific northwest
Walking through the garbage sounds exactly like stepping on the floor of my brother's Mustang when I was younger!
Like people's bathrooms.
My sister’s car is the same way, I can’t stand it. I have to take everything out of my car when I get home. I take pride in driving a clean car. 💖🚘✨
Unless that cave was pushing a lot of air I wouldn't even think of going in there and I'm talking about a limestone cave not a cave that's actually just holes between boulders. Y'all are fanatics. You summed it up well when you said " Well yeah everything in here is annoying ".
36:55 - Nitrous oxide cartridge/cylinder/charger. "Whip Its" is a branding that appeared on the side of a container.
My first thought was whippets but that's not necessarily the most common use for CO2 cartridges.
This makes me sad how people have treated this cave as a dumping ground 🫤
It's more important things to be sad about
Looks like you were on the Portland side. Too bad all that garbage was there but that's a city for ya.🤷👍
You know your geography.
@@billsanders9387 maybe a little, lol, how ya been?
@@navydogsadventures3500 Quite good for an old guy. Jacob worked on his school project set in a little known Camas cave today. It was a great day for being underground.
@@billsanders9387 glad your good. Well hope he had fun and I am sure he did.😁
@@navydogsadventures3500 His father, Dan caved with him. Dan avoids the spotlight, but is a good and cautious caver.
From thr looks of those streets thats Seattle. Cesspool
I was hoping to see a more in depth of this one! Great video as always guys.
We've got a few more hours of raw footage of some other caves in the area we will have on this channel.
And for some reason Andrew still wants to go drain that bottom of the cave. Or pump the water out somehow.
@@EvenDarker I think you guys would be able to make it happen! 🤣
What do you do if you get a cramp in a very tight space?
You can prevent cramping by regular exercise. I don't suffer from hard cramps but if I start cramping I usually leave. But you can tough out a cramp better than you think. Unless your whole back ceases up or something.
I feel like there's a backstory to this video
We are part of the cave group which is assigned locating, navigating and mapping all the caves in a certain area.
This one hadn't been looked through since the sixties and we didn't know it's location. It was our assignment to find it and take a look. Which is what we did. What's interesting is even in the report in the sixties it was full of trash and deemed dangerous. Which continues to be exactly the case but now there's a good map a good location and a public warning not to enter.
@@EvenDarker Great work! I guess what I meant was that you guys seemed unusually tense, carrying a load of gear you didn't seem to want to be carrying, and focussing on getting good shots more than usual. Made me wonder if you were there not entirely on your own terms (e.g. sponsored explore). Utter speculation of course but I was just wondering what the backstory was that would explain these observations!
Unimpressed with the rope work on those first sections.
It's our first time.
Once again, no rope pads on points of contact, unsafe.
I think your mask needs adjustment
Impressive caving
The city is looking good by the way! Blue States know how to do it best!
I would prefer everybody dump their trash at city hall regardless of the color of the state.
@@EvenDarker I hear you, when it comes to the federal government I hate all of them.
Looks good?
Did you miss skid row right by the road they stopped at?
Saying "blue states do it best" confirms you are definitely a troll.
There must have been many people in the cave before you.
That we know of, there have been zero.
@@EvenDarker Oh and the garbage went there alone??
@@kerstinkraemer9744He stated in the video how all the garbage got there.
I am too old and to fat for caving. I did a few small caves when I was younger in the 70's, but nothing crazy. Tents lining the streets on the way there and homeless garbage even in the caves. Let me guess, is this California , Washington or Oregon? Kind of sad. We have one homeless tent guy in our town now. I think he is one of the illegal invaders Biden let in. I'm sure there will be more to come.... Anyway, cool cave, cool video. Thanks.
You know I went to college on the hill where these caves are located. This was 20 years ago. It was clean streets, lots of businesses thriving.
Now the streets are littered with camps,fires in the street... over half the businesses are just gone. This area is now overran by prostitution and drugs.
I recently have been to several places in California including San Francisco... and nothing is remotely as dirty and overwhelmed by crime as Portland Oregon.
I have no idea what the solution is. But the problem is very bad.
@@EvenDarker It is such a shame. I went to San Fran' several times for Sun training back in the late 90's. Beautiful place and some nice people, but the government and the political ideology are a night mare. Anyway.... I am from Illinois, near St Louis area down by the Mississippi river. We have tons of bluffs along the river and I bet they are loaded with caves. Bet you could find something interesting to explore. Anyway be safe and have fun.
why is there so much trash in that deep of a hole. people are assholes
Which one's?
Because everybody's dropped trash.
The long version of our newest video on the main page.
Love your videos, but I am terrified of spiders lol 😬. Can you censor the spiders please sir?
I really love exploring caves without ever having to be there in person exploring caves, thanks guys
How abysmal that even such an exclusive and hidden part of the world is so contaminated with the remnants of our most deplorable, disrespectfully negligent and selfish "garbage" cast away without thought for another. My emotions won't allow me to put this into words coherently, but how sad to see such disregard for nature and others
bro did you just call the homeless people deplorable garbage 😭
Flexibility isnt the thing that wil save u.... not going head first in an unknown hole will definitely save u tho
Just found the second channel thanks to Bill and Cam..
"It's not pine needles, it's normal needles" 👌🏼😆😆😆best line I ever heard in caving lol. Safe travels guys
Where did you find Bill and Cam? I can never find them!
@@EvenDarker lol..nah bill just replied to me on a video from the main channel, and cam mentioned it at the end of the video..I'm following you years and didn't know about the second channel so I'm stoked..
It's so frightening and hard to watch but I friggin love it and can't get enough haha,. I have the utmost respect for you guys but you couldn't get me down there for all the tea in china lol 🤙🏼
I am unbelievably early to this amazing video. Watching your content always makes my day better. I watch both your channels. I have been following you for a very long time now. It is always relaxing and truly intriguing to watch. Thank you for being you.
Wow thank you so much.
Excellent content again, Cal. Andrew seems like a really down to earth guy. You two colab really well. Hopefully there'll be more content in the future with you both.
Kind words. More collaboration to come.
More like an under earth type guy.
You two are crazy. I was having a panic attack just watching you.
I can hear Jacob saying, glad i stayed home for this one.
Now this is a video I don't want to miss. Thanks again guys!
29:49 BRUH HUMANS EVEN LITTERING IN CAVES *puke*...
Everybody litters. Just one tiny piece of paper falls out of your pocket and you don't notice.
Humans cluster in areas like cities and the trash piles up.
For a good time, go out along a highway or well used road and walk the edge. Not in your car but on foot. The amount of trash along roads is shocking.
Anyway, before we were done here. We cleaned up the cave and packed out a couple of bags of trash.
Itna deep kon lays khata hai
dude how are you two so funny AND youre expert spelunkers
Thank you
Not airsoft, but halfway there... Whipped cream yeah. Pretty safe, not needles?! Terrifying. Definitely dangerous. Big style.
We’ll now leave this to the junkies.
When I was a kid… ‘cause stuff happens in childhood that must be lived through in order to look back in advancing adulthood… my family returned from some outing to find a fire truck in from of the house of neighbor friends. My brother was tasked with finding out what was up; returning to say that a member of the family was stuck - presumably face-down - in the hallway laundry chute which terminated in a basket in the basement…. Yep!
It seems that our young neighbor and another, thinner…neighbor had decided to ride the laundry chute from the second floor into the basement… - Sounds Fun, Right?!?! - and the first kid made it… and the more slightly portly kid got STUCK!!
Firefighters had to chop open the wall to access the neighbor kid whose father was definitely NOT pleased… No one was physically hurt, but I expect there were a few extra weeks of extra yard chores in order to pay for the repairs….
Oh, in the case of that family, DEFINITELY!!
This was an object lesson to every kid in that neighborhood, myself included, not that it kept us totally out of trouble…
Headfirst in the downchute. STUCK having FUN!!
"we'll find out what this DVD is! 😁"
Beat.
"it's a _political dvd..._ 😐"
Haha!
It was so boring. It was one side accusing the other side of gerrymandering which is essentially rigging an election but both sides do it. Everybody hates everybody. But somehow they were able to make a really boring DVD about it.
The day gets better when you post a new video :) thank you for so many posts
There should always be more for patrons. At least, we will keep the content that way.
LoL not exactly in the center of the metropolis. I was just there this morning, for work.
You probably drove within 100 yards of this cave.
I know right where you are, and it's a minor miracle that you came back to find your car with all its windows intact. It does appear that some pencil thin fentanyl addicts attempted to hang out in there for a time.
I used to live there and never had a problem. Back in the 90s!
I wonder if every time someone offers them a donut they think of being stuck between two rocks.
That was something. Thanks for filming all of that. Definitely a lot of work. I appreciate your enjoyment of this stuff. Seems a bit tight for me. I love living vicariously through you all though. Keep it up. Cheers!
I'm a woman who doesn't like caves and mountains, but I'm always watching your videos here after Jones died
Wow, thanks for this video. Tbh, the unexpected benefit of following along is that I'm learning to curb anxiety.
With the tight descent into garbage i worried the dvd could have been Fast and Furious which would have been a terrifying fate for you to have met.
Yes the political DVD was much better than the Fast and Furious movie. Even though I have not watched any of them except Tokyo Drift which seemed great.
तुम log हेलमेट क्यों लगाते हो 😂
The part where you said “Hopefully I get diabeetus or something” just made my night lol!
You have a lot of fun on your adventures and they’re just so fun to watch.
Thank you! This cave was super crazy and almost unnecessary. Just a terrible place to hang out!
All that trash in the cave is so nasty
I can't cave in the unknown. Im sure there are ways to prevent getting stuck, but even still the risk....
I only cave and explore the unknown. If it's known, then there is no need for me be there.
@@EvenDarker you are more adventurous than me
I've caved some trashy caves before but nothing like this. I would have passed on this cave. Great video, thanks to Andrew for being part of the video.
I've just been to so many clean caves I never pass on an opportunity to go in something unique and dirty. And some bizarre way it almost feels refreshing. Cuz it's just so different than what we normally do. And a lot more dangerous!
Lol you'd probably get hepatitis, not diabetes 😂
Depends if I eat all the garbage or not.
So you are also relying on the homeless to leave your rope alone that’s scary
Yeah, that part was genuinely weird and you're the first person to make that kind of comment.
Every time we heard noises above, it was a bit concerning. I didn't think someone was going to cut the rope. But it was definitely something to think about.
Love your content brother
Wielki szacunek za odwagę umiejętności i chęć odkrywania jaskiń, muszę niestety przyznać że to nie dla mnie ja mam ciarki jak to oglądam dlatego nigdy bym się nie odważył wejść tam gdzie wy pozdrawiam vz Polski i życzę dużo zdrówka 🤯🤯👏👏😉
Your stuff is amazing, I’ve watched all your videos! I live in Vancouver Wa, I’d love to go caving with someone with as much experience as you!!
If you want to visit the cave in the video you were watching, it's over on the Rocky Butte in Portland. You can probably see it from your house.
@@EvenDarker not this cave, I’ll pass lol. But some of the other caves you have explored would be sweet!
How do the glass bottles drop all the way down and not break so deep in the cave?
That's a good question I suspect they just get tossed in the entrance and if for rain or wind or because of animals they make the big drop to the bottom they just hit the other pile of trash. At the bottom of the pile of trash they're probably is broken bottles.
And also bottles aren't that easy to break.
Its great you can have such humor with that filth. What an infuriating circumstance.
Why are you risking your life ? Are you scared sometimes to fet stuck and just give up and are you doing this for money or you really having fun while caving idk how you can go thru that little space I feel sick while watching this i am so claustrphobic
It's just fun. We do this almost strictly for leisure purposes
The Walter Brimley reference took me back to my childhood.
It takes me back what seems like only 2 months. It's still contemporary memology in my mind! Diabetus!
Is there a difference from using the 'webbing ' and a strap, ratchet-strap? Just curious
Great question. Not really. But the webbing is tested and officially "rated" since it is life dependent gear. But it's generally not more expensive so it's what you would want to use if you were climbing.
Flat weave straps are stronger than rope. But doesn't work very well with gear. So the webbing is generally reserved for harnesses or connecting ropes to secure objects.
But in theory you could literally use a ratchet strap to ascend or descend. It would just be slightly less convenient.
@@EvenDarker thanks for the info and keep up the great vids!
Where is that, Seattle? Yuck
Worse
Well, I’d have to agree with you…this cave was indeed filthy. Between the human element of added trash and the vacuum like effect that the entryway can hold, drawing some other trash in, it really is nasty. The trash I can handle, but syringes are different story. Walking on those is no big deal, with the right shoes, but if I had to crawl, I simply wouldn’t. One wrong prick and all of a sudden you find yourself with some really nasty disease.
Another noted difference is that a majority of cave excursions you take are in erosion caves, not cracks like this one. Interesting to see you STANDING UP so much but no less (severely) cramped😉
Still, another great video. I had missed this one so circled back for it. Thank you, as always, not just for filming but for the fabulous edit. That takes a ton of time, and I certainly appreciate it.
Mike
We mostly do stand up caves. Big beautiful walk through caves. But if I make a video of it, it... Essentially gets ignored. So you get to see the crawley bits.
In any case, these caves with the garbage in them are probably the most dangerous stuff we've done because of the garbage and needles. But they are in the lowlands, so the temperatures are a little more comfortable. Most of the caves in the mountains are just about freezing.

Where is Jacob when you most need him 😆
Usually at school!
If there was a priceless golden Idol down there? Still no.
Your so brave, oh my gosh, u know ,tickled pink to see you climb out ! , 💝
You kept talking about a cave in the middle of the city. I was expecting you to drive to like 34th and broadway in Manhattan…….this was pretty cool too
This is in the dead center of a large metropolitan area. There are high rises all around. It's just that here in the Pacific Northwest there's also a lot of trees and the parks are well hid.
There's a large homeless community that lives around these caves. They have all the soup kitchens and activity from the downtown area then they can just go sleep in the park.
You're crew is Nucking Futz!!!
I love your videos!
Please tell me what you use on your flashlight..
Is it a coffee cup???
Probably used to be a coffee cup. I order plain white cups now. It's just to diffuse the light for video. Works great it's just like having our own softbox Underground
lol the film idea, i'd help, i got a harness and lights
How can u survive in the mid of these caves 😅
You are brave for pushing past those left coast drug encampments.
Couple years ago, they literally found a dead body thrown in one of the caves.
Love the video brother!! Man some of those tight squeezes y'all go thru has me getting anxious just watching lol and when u pulled out that 💉 I was like yikes!!!!! "Down in a hole" would be a good intro song lol
Down in a hole is like the theme song for this channel probably. That and Sounds of silence.
“These aren’t pine needles these are regular needles” 💀
"Flexibility" that's your memeiest moment IMO.
What are all those tents? Homeless??????
That is so disgusting. All most like playing in the City landfill . Just saying.
Probably worse this is below a homeless Camp so it's just got all kinds of wonderful stuff. They found a dead body in the entrance a couple years ago.
“DUMPSTER DIVING”??
Diabetes lol oh snap.
36:00 made me laugh so hard😂
27.56 @Even Darker what is the thing spaning from the trash upwards that looks like a tree or a pipe ???
I don't remember this video at all and I can't look at timestamps from the comment second.
But it's probably tree roots. This cave is huge crack on the edge of a mountain. So it's very deep but all the way down. We're only like 30 feet from the outside of the mountain. I remember there was lots of tree roots webbing their way through.
I don't remember anything that was like a pipe. So I imagine it's just a big root.
TNX ,thank you ,you are mi inspiration .@@EvenDarker
I love you content, keep going
You found a lot of goodies in there 🤣🤣🤣
People often inquire if we find gold or gems.
This is what we find.
U guys are the best so could i join for a day next summer
We appreciate that you think we are the best.
I don't like walking down my hallway at night in the dark.
There are hidden treasures in the darkness
How does all that garbage get into such a random cave?
Because there's a homeless camp on the hillside. It's literally been there for like 80 years.
i really dont get it, how this is consider fun? very strange people populate this planet.
It's okay that you don't get it.
36:09
I love the video, but all that garbage is upsetting. It makes me sad to see all the trash. I guess if I look on the bright side, that trash will be considered an "artifact" several years into the future.
Some of this trash already is artifact. It's as old as the city which is around a 100 years.
Hey, have you guys been in nutty putty cave??
That cave no longer exists!
You guys need to link up with The Adventure Twins!!!
Never heard of her
@@EvenDarker Look them up. Two twin brothers that explore caves in Georgia.
That'd be hepatitis and maybe tetanus, not to be confused with tinnitus.
No one's going to confuse anything with tinnitus. It's not a disease, it's a lifestyle. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@@EvenDarker mine sounds like it agrees.
Ruined by homeless
whats is the air like down there?
I don't know. Same as it is everywhere I guess. It's cold in the cave.
The homelessness is everywhere
Well especially here in downtown portland. I've traveled much of the West Coast including San Francisco lately and I haven't seen anything as bad as Portland.
was that a green leaf at 53:19?
Probably. Vines are able to grow throughout this cave. Its a crack, the inside wall is the mountain and the outside wall is the... outside.
Hey its City Bible 👍
Manna House. For some reason.
So sad that beautiful places to go caving have turned into garbage cans
Modern “cave dwellers” are dumber that the first ones.
That was absolutely terrible. I was feeling really bad for you Calvin. I love all your videos and live vicariously through them but I would have to take pass on this one. Wishing you better caving in the future. Your partner was just fine but I missed Joel....
Just fine?
You guys are CRAZY! Lol
Our shrink is an avid caver. After hearing what we find underneath civilization, he couldn’t get down underground fast enough.
Just wondering what's exciting about climbing through a load of junkie needles with Diseases on them ? Madness !
Come and find out
Portland was such a beautiful city, It’s really sad what the socialists have done to it.
Mad respect for you dude. I don’t know how you not only keep so cool in such tight squeezes but manage to be funny as hell while you’re doing it.
I saw a recent statistic on coronavirus recovery in downtown areas. The worst in the nation is San Francisco at 25% of normal. And then Portland at 32% of normal even Seattle is at 40%. New York City is at almost 70% recovered. Just goes to show how awful it is in Portland especially currently.
I used to live on the hill right by that cave. Now I visit and there's garbage lining the streets and literal fires.
thank god im not the only one that dosent care about politics i find it so boring i dont understand the draw
People think that politics is a way to solve problems.
But I believe they are wrong.
@@EvenDarker seems like all it causes is a never ending fight they think will end it dosent lol
