- We took a 75,000 lumen flashlight deep into a cave with the biggest chambers in the USA, to light the place up like nobody has ever done before

I caved for 20 years as a young man, primarily in a four county spread across the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line back in the 1990's and 2000's. We did nothing but virgin caves which is such a satisfying process from ridge-walking, discovery, initial recon, mapping and finally hard pushing every lead we could locate and building a cave map. Listening to you guys joke and react to the underground wilderness is such a joy and brings a huge smile to my face. Thanks for bringing us along with you. Twenty years ago we used to openly talk about how great it would be to film our adventures, but the state of technology in that time made it nearly impossible. The invention of LED lightening, digital recording, micro storage chips, and far better batteries are the stuff from our original fantasies. How I wish it had been there thirty years sooner. The best years of my life.
Awesome you got to pioneer some of that. Talking about technology as it was. But we went to the moon with that amazing technology and now we lost that great technology so we can't go back. Let's see what BS they pull next year when they say they will go. Usually throughout time they just keep postponing every selection. Heard the government is closing so many caves.
There is only 1 thing you should do. Go back into one of those caves for old times sake. None of us are getting any younger...
Sounds like you guys did pretty well with what you were working with. I suppose it will always be like this now that the technology ball is rolling along instead of just barely moving at all. With it rolling along, forward, we get to see and use new technology as it comes into being which is much better than us being long gone and only future generations seeing a change here and there. Back just a few generations and they really didn't see much of anything change in a lifetime My grandfathers lifetime saw very little advancements. To them automobiles coming into existence even tho there was few roads and fewer cars was big. TV's seemed a big deal too even tho they were very crude and there was nothing much to see on them.
We were using carbide head lamps,
Caves are definitely like being in another world, those formations are weird cool
And another seed
you guys are legit living in a video game. you have fun, no fear, get to dead ends and always find a secret room, get to water and floatation devices appear haha. so insane
nutty putty
Crazy to think about is that there’s probably larger rooms than these that go undiscovered
Right under our feet!
Maybe with living aliens inside 🧌
There are absolutely larger rooms there are even men made larger rooms full of human trafficking victims.

Nice trolling 😂
@TooColdProdz I wish I were trolling. It may be man-made but these rooms full of trafficked humans are all over the world. There are generations of people that have never been outside of these underground facilities.
So, you didn't show the passage that takes off to the left there near the entrance. The graffiti in that passage is why I don't tell people where caves are. This is one of the first we explored when we lived in this community, and the damage short of the breakdown pile was heart rending. Once you get over that breakdown, there's nothing because most people don't know how to get through it.
Also, that breakdown pile used to be much more open than it is now. Back in 2018 we did a tour to the smallest of the 4 rooms and upon exiting the cave and hiking back to the parking area, we came across a church group out of Alabama that was headed in. The next day other members of our Grotto went to the cave and found it full of dust, signs of a campfires near the base of the breakdown pile and abandon equipment. Most of the pile was blocked off by fresh breakdown.
Below commenters have asked where this cave is. Find a grotto. Get to know the people. Go caving with them. They're going to take you to a locked cave, and you're gonna be on probation for a number of tours before they start revealing wild caves to you. Why? Because too often good caves get ruined by bad people.
What an amazing cave! It's unbelievable that you guys were in there for 10 hrs! I'm exhausted just watching you do that for 30 mins! 😂
You lads should take a high powered uv torch with you. Youll be amazed at all the hidden wonders under there. I recommend the eagtac mx30l3 uv. Youll see all kinds for organic and mineral rock glow and in different colours. 100% recommend use uv if you haven't all ready
I used to explore caves, but since I got much older, I now don't have the abilities and stamina to do that anymore. So your videos allow me to see what you guys are exploring... Amazing for sure! Thumbs Up!
I'm 76, well traveled and adventured, never dreamed even 20 short years ago, that I would see so much more in my latter years...thank you for your efforts and sharing.
Indeed, I so agree.. Technology is great, I am only 50 but I am experiencing things I never would've imagined right from my bedroom..
I was wondering when you guys would make your way over to my neck of the woods! I recognized the cave immediately, both from the entrance and the thumbnail room. (And the statistic).
Fun fact: At the very end of the cave, there’s a body of water. We (me and a friend in our caving group that day) swam on tubes to the opposite end of the cave, and then jogged for another 5 minutes or so.
At the very end, which DOES dead end, is a naked Barbie doll and a mix CD. 😂
The best geocache is where GPS don't reach. Also Pokemon Go arenas.
@@Hamachingo You ain't kiddin'. Geocaches in the Paris catacombs are wild.
Hey, can I please know what cave this is? I would love to visit it.
its in TN@@justgames2262
I love watching your videos because I’ve gotten way too old to go do this stuff anymore. You guys need to take a high output UV light On your trips. Crystal formations that you’ve seen that blow your mind will look insane under UV light.
They do but not every time so i've heard them say
I felt that way driving on a defunct airstrip, everything perfectly flat, no terrain. Lowbeams, brights, aux lights, no difference, everything but the immediate road ahead was all *black,* like shining into a cloudless night sky.
Insane adventures all from my couch 😄👍🏼 amazing footage gentlemen
That's one hell of a flashlight. Perfect for big cave exploration and you may even be able to fry some eggs with it.
@14:10
Everything in this cave looks like it was something man made!
@@suetaylor1127 not a chance...there's lakes n rivers below as big or bigger than above !!! Learn about it...
@@suetaylor1127 Your house is probably sitting over a cave. There's cave systems everywhere beneath us, most undiscovered and never opened to the light of day.
You guys have the best cave adventure videos. It’s all about realism.. Sometimes it can get a little sketchy..😊
19:47 lol, wtf, cave exploring zoomies?
I’m curious, how many pairs of shoes, pants and shirts and gloves do you go thru in a year? ..seriously! ❤️🇺🇸
I'm also a flashlight connoisseur. I own a few high-powered flashlights. One of my every day carry flashlights. Which clocks in at around 4000 lumins is stupid bright. I also have the acebeam X80-gt which is 30,000ish lumins which is dangerously bright. Then I bought the X75 and had to put it under lock and key. That flashlight will piss off the neighbors in a heartbeat. It literally is like holding the sun.
Another excellent adventure😊.....keep having fun Edward and James and company
Fabulous cave, thanks for taking us along.
Whoa!!! Simply incredible!! Of all the caves you have videoed, this one has to be the largest....Colossus Cave....Thanks for sharing your expedition,🙂👍👍👍
Hey ! Thanks for taking us all along on that adventure. The size of those rooms is crazy !
I can't stop thinking that all of that rubble you're walking over used to be part of the ceiling. Whenever you yell, I cringe like Shhhh! Whisper!
That’s a cave I could go into without too many issues, some of the ones you do are so claustrophobic that I could not. Really amazing to see
Thanks for taking the camera and making this for us! Always an amazing time! I can't get in many caves anymore cause of my back, but this is almost just as good as being there myself . Maybe better because it doesn't hurt as bad. Love the videos!
Thought y’all were embarking on a journey to center of inner earth there for a sec. I would like to think there is a false door where it seemed to end. ;) lol Great awesome wonders beneath us!!!
Let’s go Spelunking!!! Thanks for the upload, love your content!🎉
My favorite watch of the week! You all are amazing, love what you find and do.
Absolutely amazing!!! Thank you for sharing. ✌️
You upload at the best times fr
yet another mind bending hike into the underground past - anybody notice that stone marked *1923* ?? with no super luminous or even electriclights ❓ no way to even SEE that ceiling or which way to go.
man you guys are part amphibian I'm convinced. Some who tag along have NOT seen your vids...ill prepared to say the least.
I'm pushing 70 and paralyzed since 2018 and my most physical enterprises were out there for real but you guys make adrenaline addicts look like couch potatoes 💪✌️😇🤠👍🙏🙏
be blessed and be safe

Love from Germany 🇩🇪 and keep up the great videos
You’ve got to love the Rumble Room! I didn’t have anything like the light sources you use when I was there so it was cool seeing it lit up. The phospho-luminescence in calcite formations always fascinated me too. Great video of a great cave.
This isn't the rumble room, though it looks _very_ similar.. Remember there's a long repel to get down to the rumble room, unlike in this cave. Still trying to figure out which one this is though.. EDIT - This is Camp's Gulf Cave, actually _very_ close to Rumbling Falls.

Too late 🤷🏻 This stuff isn't hard to figure out, nor is it secret.. Some research and Google Fu ninja search skills go a long way, just sayin'. Plus combing through the comments can be helpful at times. Someone knowing the name of a cave isn't hurting anyone.. Plus It's not like I gave the GPS coordinates. 😅
Oh to be young again 😊😊 What an amazing episode!! Can’t wait to see the next big adventure.
Man, I have, like, over 1000 caves on my regional Middle Tennessee maps (Cumberland Plateau region) I was given by some members of the state a few years back.
You guys are in Tennessee so often, I should send you some of the coordinates and let you guys go wild.
We would love that
Yea we do have some AMAZING caves around here.
Love this video! The cave is amazing, and the laughter and excitement are contagious! Thank you for the armchair ride!
Well you found an old Spector base.
That was epic to watch .. you guys ahould overnight camp in there!
That Looks Megalithic
wow good cave and that flashlight is bright!
That was good, the circular formation in the big room makes me thinks the water swirled around there for a very long time, not sure if that is right but its fascinating to see this cave, Thank you so much, awesome.
I love how giddy you get when you see a formation😂😂
That's enormous! Definitely comparable to Mammoth Cave.
Awesome video !! You guys should go on that other river. In the first big room, in kayaks and find out where it goes.
Where is this? I would love to check it out!
It’s in TN
What a fun trip to watch. Incredible you were in there for 10 hours!!!
I wonder what created that kind of cave with that huge dome like shape for the roof.
Water for one.. I believe that underground river formed most of that, like the long hallway part.
Just when I was starting to think you had explored them all, bravo!
The particles in the air look thick! Any potential residual sickness/danger with dust particulates? Aside from modern every day particulates for the trolls 🙄
Absolutely amazing! Your videos never disappoint 🔥🔥🔥
Nice one guys !! 👍👍
I think this cave is more dangerous for groundfall than an average abandoned hard-rock mine. (Although false floors are a bigger hazard in abandoned mines). All you need to do is just look at the ceilinngs of those 3 big rooms and the muontains of huge groundfall slabs on the floors of them to figure that out. The best way to navigate is to stay along the edges of those rooms.
But the middle has already fallen.
I might still fall again. Though the odds of it happening while youre standing underneath is pretty low.
@@dreadnoughtus2598 Its a slpw process, a slad falls now and then, here and there. Huge multi-ton slabs of rock. So it hasn't all fallen until it reaches the surface and leaves a big sink. You just look at the ceilings of those rooms, and you see that they are all fracfured Huge slabs just waiting to fall. And the problem is that you never know when one will fall. You can only hope that its not one you;re under at that time. That slow breakdown will continue for centuries of millenia until its all collapsed. And BTW, if I'm not mistaken, It's been surveyed to 6 miles and change.
Tremendous cave! You guys are having so much fun inside this cave and I felt like I was right there with you! When you got to the end there was someones initials with the date 7-16-1923! Wow surprised you guys didn’t mention that cos that is exactly 100 years ago even almost too the exact date and month! WOW!
oh wow you should have put the time stamp in. I will go find it and and put in for you. Good eye! Thanks for the tid bit!
@@melissablueswomanhensley634 you are right I should have put the time stamp in but I am new to this kind of thing so I will know next time
Havent seen so huge opening inside a cave ever and that's really amazing to experience ever ❤
@24:40
One century never felt so short of time
What a fun explore. I lol'd when you all got on that raft. Hope your friend's arm/hand is okay.
so many treasures in this one!
Awesome cave, thanks for sharing!! Them rooms in the caves were massive!!Bet it was cool to find out they kept going and going!! Hey u all could call it the Duracell cave!! Cuz it kept going and going 😂😂😂lol great video guys, you all stay safe and God bless
Wow 👌 👏 😊
😁 Love from Southern Cali San Diego ❤
That room is sick bro!
10 hours wow that’s gotta be gigantic cave
What's with the date 7-16-1923 in the mud at 24:40? Just wondering. 7-16 is my birthday. 😊
Awesome video boys
The space in that cave is insane!
wow. as a professional radio tower/climber.. i want in brother.. badly.. fun times. love it
Wow l am high and l watching u guys made me like l was there .Thanks for sharing,10H that's crazy 💪 Beautiful nature 😮
That place is unbelievable. The cool thing is that there's a whole outside above it.
Another great cave find, How do you guys find these places. ?
Eric N.Y.
Those caves are so huge, wonder if you could use a lighted drone? Massive sizes of caves!
I love your videos adventure is out there !
Always an amazing view guy's 🤩
Awesome the big round room. Was probably filled with water once!?
dude this was a blast,i actually felt like i was there....its a wonderful cave and lots of room for everyone,thank you for taking the time,too bad there WAS a cave ending
I'm guessing that minerals and particles in water seeping through the rock and humidity from the water inside, would form those after dripping from the ceiling for 1000's of years. Those bulbs on the ground are amazing the way they look like they've been glazed with a lemony frosting.
10:56 clumb lol reminds me of that movie. "I clumb pikes peak" mad John Wayne:"you done WHAT to pikes peak"
Amazing adventure!
I often wonder... how do you make sure you can find your way out again?
second biggest room that they have discovered.
unreal. so scary to see but thank you for going there and filming for us.
Civilizations pre-flood existed for thousands of years….and Genesis speaks of giants…and the remains are found all over the world. I wonder whether a huge cavern like this was man made, then later blocked and “destroyed” by that flood. This just doesn’t look natural.
this video IS AMAZING. such a good one
sweet thanks crew!
another great adventure! I'm sure it's been asked before BUT.... In your pack you must have food and water. I'm interested in backup lights and how many spare batteries you need for a long trip such as this one? Like dude... lights out, you're screwed!
It would be awesome to see drone video of this cave.
My dude found the boss room.
Can you dig through the mud plug
Nice!
wow!! amazing! have you guys used O-lites? pretty amazing lights! thanks for what you guys do!!
Lol, olights are pretty mid quality compared to acebeam, I'd take an acebeam over an olight any day
Please watch with you, guys, and this is fun. I am new to your channel, a follower, and a fan of adventures. Really, you guys are fun, and I wish you caution and success.
Y'all need to try a UV light in these caves to see if there are anything else that is illuminated!
As usual, I was pullin up the seat of my chair.
Praying for ya'lls protection.
Another great adventure!
God bless ya'll :)
This would be interesting to see from the lens of a drone however I don’t know how feasible it would be.
What headlamp are you guys using? Looking ro replace my current one and your seem to be pretty amazing .
Love the videos. Be safe out there
Insane!!❤
Found my self watching one of these then more and more good work man
The raft was the icing on the cake haha
U guys lucky that theres no creeper in that cave
We could beat it in a fight.
i'm too claustrophobic to ever do anything like that but love watching you go there. i have to look away when you get stuck or are in very tight places now and then to let myself calm down before i can resume watching, but I keep coming back. thank you for all you do. singed... those of us who cant even get through an MRI machine, lol.
Hey duuuuuuuuudes ❤ I actually look forward to the dude count in the end.❤❤❤❤❤😂
This cave would be cool to take a yard/house battery operated Christmas light mounted in yard that displays a projected light onto house,like a kaleidoscope. It would be trippy.
10 hours!? So i went to bed, had a night's sleep, woke up and had some breakfast then got dressed. Meanwhile you guys are only 2/3 of the way. Whatever floats your boat i suppose. [ or, whatever floats your rubber ring! 😂]
