Watch out for nightmares my freind ! A 6 inch space for air , but each time you go under to find your way out you get disoriented and just make it back to the air pocket ! Eventually you'll have to go for it completely ! But you know you won't make it ! I had this nightmate once ! So very real and terrifying beyond beleif ! How long do you keep returning to the air pocket ! Before taking a mad underwater scramble in a direction that probably leads to nowhere ! How did I get into this ! Oh yeah ; Talked into this underwater death trap !!!
I wonder who the hell originally discovers these caves and are like "yeah, that looks like a fun place to go into" i mean there looks like tons of spots where you are either stuck or would have to go back the entire ways backwards. To hell with that
@BigBadWolf no he got stuck in a tight canal and the only way to get him out was to brake his legs and he died because all his blood was going to his lungs he could not breathe that's how he died and they filled it up with concrete it's called the nutty putty cave
@BigBadWolf Thats pretty much exactly what you said with more detail. Not sure what that guy was disagreeing with other than maybe your choice of the word "falling" instead of going deeper.
Lol bullshit if you were told you could crawl through a cave that hundreds of others have done or be show in the head in the next hour. Yeah sure buddy you're going to be crawling through that cave
This seems unnecessarily time-consuming. Why not simply thoroughly grease the caver in a thick layer of lard, wedge them firmly in the opening orifice, then pressurize the air behind them? Once the pressurization is sufficient, the lubricated caver will be forced at high velocity through the narrow channels of the restrictions and eventually into the distance innards of the cave. We csn see the sides of the passageway are quite smooth, so there's little chance of injury. Cavers are a durable lot, so being shoved at many meters per second down rough, tight passageways should not be cause for complaint. Here in the USA, where life is fast-paced and we're always behind schedule, we've used this technique to successfully force-inject cavers great distances into various systems. Cavers can be extracted just as quickly by reversing the compressor airflow and suctionjng them out. Works a treat!
To me, a most frightening scenario, other than an earth tremor; headlamp malfunction... is coming to a dead-end, unable to turn around, and realizing you must crawl out backwards, up inclines, around tight curves, etc. without becoming wedged in & stuck...
This happens to a person. He reached dead end when he was in upside down position. Search nutty putty cave incident that man got stuck and died after 27 hours. After this incident they sealed the cave with his body still inside.
I have the utmost respect for the person who originally pushed this lead. That person did it knowing he/she might have to back out without turning around. Its much harder to move that way because your toes don't pull nearly as well as they push. Pushing leads to their absolute limits, just to make sure, requires a remarkable amount of mental fortitude.
The way it works supposedly you cant go into a chamber or passage without being able to also back out of the very same place you crawled into and you must be flat as well and in most cases then around now all that to me is a very tall order but these cavers mindset is positive they do live life right on the edge I mean to think the way they do is scary it's like to me they have a death wish that somehow they might not make it out get lost or get stuck but my hat goes out to them folk who engage with these Caves conflicts like the vice,the birth canal and many other challenging caves it's hard to take in but somehow I understand there mindset around this one guy a caver says he wakes up in his bed and thinks to himself I'd love to be in a tight spot right now and finding my way out of a very tight spot wow very courageous slightly insane and adventurous God I admire there antics as much as it gives me anxiety and I'm literally willing them on to get out and get to safety stay safe enjoy as you seem to do that in bagfulls but dont risk your life unnecessary when going through these tight spots God willing nobody gets stuck or gets killed while caving stay safe God bless man.
@@steveelliott4642 There are outliers, no doubt, but most cavers don't enjoy extremely tight spaces. You may often find a caver displaying some level of pride in his or her ability to handle them, but that's not the same thing. Cavers tolerate tight passages either because we already know there is something worth seeing on the other side, or because its unexplored and it needs to be surveyed and added to the map (plus, maybe it goes on to something great, but usually not). Oh, and I suppose tight squeezes are good for hazing rookies :-)
I go caving frequently where i live, i have spent a cumulative few hundred hours underground and have gone through some squeezes that were only possible for me to achieve due to having hyper mobility in my joints. Im 6 foot 1 and weigh 85kg and to go into some tight spaces sometimes requires me to pop my shoulder out (to make my shoulder width smaller) tilt my head (with the helmet off because its too large) and breathe out all the air in my lungs to squeeze through a tight hole, the result of one such occasion was rediscovering a section of cave with mud figurines and signatures that haven’t been seen in over 50 years. Being in a tight hole in the ground is surreal as its a total absence of sound and light the most peace you will ever find that is why i go caving.
What happens if you breath out to move along and cant breath in again as it's not possible. I admire you and people like you as I wouldn't have the balls to do it. I imagine being in a mile long tunnel and want a good lung off air and cant get one. Mate that's it game over for me. The thought of not stretching me neck muscles naaaaaaa not for me no thank you. Not a bloody chance. Would you like to do the nutty putty cave. What would be ultimate. Surely you need to no before hand there is a way out. If not how do you calculate the risks. Surely some places there is one way in no way backwards and maybe no entrance out. How would you no.
You must be completely stupid, why do it? I have no respect for such stupidity, perhaps when you get stuck and your life flashes before you then you might consider never doing it again. Look at all the amazing space and air above ground why chance getting trapped? Makes zero sense however I look at it.
Me: "I panic, I die." Brain: "That makes me want to panic more." Me: "Do you want us to die?" Brain: "No!" Me: "Then trust the cave and we'll be fine." Brain: "... okay." This repeats once or twice, although I've only been in a couple tight caves like this.
Dude just said that he had three stints put into his heart and he about to go caving? What happens if his ass dies in there trapping everybody behind him?
I always wonder who originally explores the cave and climbs in thinking "either this opens up or I'm going to be coming out backwards." They are the crazy ones.
If you'll allow me to change the subject and present a hypothetical, what would you do if someone (let's say with stents) dies while in the middle of a tight passage and blocks the way for the cavers inside? Would you have to cut him out piece by piece. Don't mean to be morbid, or anything.
Although it is a small passage it would be possible to get a body out without cutting it to pieces, but check the statistics - the chances of this happening are extremely remote.
HeavyMetal Joe That guy died in an uncharted passage that he mistook for a popular one known as the birth canal. That’s why he got stuck and could not be recovered.
@@jackierenee2663 why was that particular passage uncharted? why was it not gated off? Also, what would someone do to explore the uncharted passage without getting stuck like the dude who died? Im actually curious.
Ian did make it through The Vice but then quite sensibly decided to turn back. On the other side of The Vice it is possible to stand up and turn round.
Keith Edwards I was gutted I could not get in , I was 12 hrs on my Todd waiting for the others to finish their trip, lucky it was summer and I had plenty of grub :-) walked for miles along the escarpment loads to see and poke about
The first time I did The Vice I went in facing the wrong side. There is a sharp bend at the end (where the camera is) so exiting wasn't possible. Its a bugger to reverse!
Great video and great channel! Keith after reading and watching videos about the tragic death case in Nutty Putty cave in the US I have a question for you. How do you deal with new routes in caves? When do you decide it is time to go back or when you continue through the uncharted area? How do you prevent such tragedy that cost John Jones his life, when he became trapped in the squeeze and couldn't move and couldn't return, because the tunnel he crawled through turned downside. Thanks for the answer!
Thanks Alice. Pleased to hear that you are liking the videos. The golden rule is never to enter a tight downward slopping passage head first if you don't know for certain that it opens up further on. Getting stuck in a cave is a very rare occurrence and for rescue teams to not be able to free the stuck person is extremely rare, so rare that stories like the tragedy of John Jones make world headlines.
I'm 5'10, 10.5 stones, and I'M not cut out for caving. These fuckers are lunatics. I don't care if that makes me a coward, cos the cowards live to tell how those brave mother fuckers died...
It gets really freaky when you're 6'0, 225 lbs. and muscular, and you have to fit through spaces your buck-seventy friends are barely getting through. Talk about nightmare fuel.
I think I would be pretty good at this considering how small I am (if I were stronger), but it terrifies me even to think about it. Very impressive my dude! Awesome birthday adventure- you must be very fit and very brave.
I saw a video on John Edward Jones. Before that I thought caves were big open spaces. I never in my life thought that people would crawl through tiny little spaces for fun.
Tried it once.....about 30 years ago....at Shasta Caverns in northern CA. Aside from the regular walk-thru tours ( on lighted walkways ).......at that time...you could take 'spelunking' tours. A guide led 6 or 7 of us down.....entering at around 5am. I think we were down in there for at least 4 or 5 hours.
I went caving once. The majority of it was a very cool experience, however it was the very first climb in that was terrifying. Less than a foot of clearance, your right shoulder is completely pinned, with only a small area for play for your lefr arm. At about the middle point of said crawl, you're Completely pinned and all you can do is squirm. I made it though, and will never do it again.
First time I done Darren we encountered a team coming out and had to turn around going on the entrance. When both teams were out the laughed at us as we were not equipped for it, and added us against going in. We took notice of what they said and what they were wearing. They were the film crew for Martyn Farr's through journey the mountain. We did go back at a later date and spent a good 10 hours in the cave. Could not do it now I am afraid. My hat comes of to you.
Hi Grahame. That must have been in 1988 or 1989. The great Sid Perou was the cameraman. The video is on his TH-cam channel at th-cam.com/video/AOPhmfi3yFs/w-d-xo.html. It's worth watching. I'd like to think I'm still capable of doing a decent trip in Daren. Perhaps later this year?
what if somebody is going out and you don’t know somebody is going out so you go in and one blocks the other and you all get stuck and die. that scares me along with everything else.
I don't mind caving to the point of the entrance in this video. But I'm not going anywhere near things with names like the vice. Nor am I ever doing caving that's near substantial structures, due a module in my degree: environmental geology
Have you guys ever attempted Nutty Putty Cave? It's even narrower than Cave Dileaua and it has a scary back story to it as well you should look into it.
Think of being inside, having to let air out of your lungs to fit through, and the entire rock drops an inch. You’re alive, can barely breathe.....and you’re stuck. No one can hear you
When I watch these videos I get really claustrophobic, but when actually going in caves like these I am fine and don’t even get a little claustrophobic
Nothing like watching something like this, from the comfort of my bed, and I get claustrophobic especially when I'm joined by the missus, she takes the whole bed
For some reason I thought that the walls inside that cave gives me this H.R. Giger like Artwork vibe or reference, (Alien) which would make it even more claustrophobic and terrifying for me.
The weirdest thing happened when I went into my first cave (Trou Nou Maulin in Belgium)..... I lost my claustrophobia. To every body asking 'Why'.... Because it actually is fun. There's some sort of serenity that comes over you that is very soothing. Although you might get stuck or don't know how to continue, you can always wait, get to your senses and get help from your other cavers. It's wonderful down there! Next cave: Grotte de Sainte-Anna (www.nutons.nl/11speleologie/Belgie/sainteanne/stanne.htm)
*do NOT watch if claustrophobic*

Tony Danis lol. Thanks. I needed a laugh!
What a lengthy dumbassed idea lol
Hahahaha omg, best reply ever! 😂😂😂
If you pressurize the air behind, surely the bone in the legs would collapse due to the vaccum of pressurized air.

I cant even stand trying to take off my sweater without freaking out. No way id do this.
The "Vice" should be renamed "Sciatica". Evokes more of the essence of the passage.
I would call it the “sphincter shrinker” personally
dont tell they are enjoying it...
I hate the way these types of cave videos make me feel, but I can’t stop watching them.
Thanks for watching.
Having an itch you couldn't reach would drive me insane.
what if somebody is going out and you don’t know somebody is going out so you go in and one blocks the other and you all get stuck and die. that scares me along with everything else.
Yeah this looks like a great time !
I don't mind caving to the point of the entrance in this video. But I'm not going anywhere near things with names like the vice. Nor am I ever doing caving that's near substantial structures, due a module in my degree: environmental geology
Have you guys ever attempted Nutty Putty Cave? It's even narrower than Cave Dileaua and it has a scary back story to it as well you should look into it.
Think of being inside, having to let air out of your lungs to fit through, and the entire rock drops an inch. You’re alive, can barely breathe.....and you’re stuck. No one can hear you
I couldn’t even work up the nerve to go through the first “roomy” passage.
When I watch these videos I get really claustrophobic, but when actually going in caves like these I am fine and don’t even get a little claustrophobic
Rest In Peace brother 🙏🏻
im only claustrophobic when i really cant move and it hurts to move and its also hard to breathe
What would you do if your light didnt work.
Turn on the spare I always carry.
Nothing like watching something like this, from the comfort of my bed, and I get claustrophobic especially when I'm joined by the missus, she takes the whole bed
OMG this guys 70!!!! Balls of Steel massive respect
Just think of the first guy that decided to go in their to give it a go and just hoped he didnt get stuck.
The worst thing about going in first is if the guy behind you gets stuck. There is no way out then.
Ah great you made it! Now let’s go back.
For some reason I thought that the walls inside that cave gives me this H.R. Giger like Artwork vibe or reference, (Alien) which would make it even more claustrophobic and terrifying for me.
What about camerman? Who record in the cave
man.. this messes with my stomach really badly
Still caving with sciatica, huh? Some people just don't know when to call it quits. Regardless, thanks for sharing!
Really small spaces: *Im i a joke to you?*
Maybe put a sign at the entrance that says:"rub yourself in oil before entering"
Not such a bad idea.
Love the twisted method song at the end too!
I worked in a coal mines nothing like this. Sometimes on my knees, but with fresh air.
If you eat a pretzel you have to wait until it digests until you can get back out.
The weirdest thing happened when I went into my first cave (Trou Nou Maulin in Belgium)..... I lost my claustrophobia. To every body asking 'Why'.... Because it actually is fun. There's some sort of serenity that comes over you that is very soothing. Although you might get stuck or don't know how to continue, you can always wait, get to your senses and get help from your other cavers. It's wonderful down there! Next cave: Grotte de Sainte-Anna (www.nutons.nl/11speleologie/Belgie/sainteanne/stanne.htm)
Reminds me of that guy that died in a cave upside down and his body was never recovered
