I do not know if anyone is going to see this comment, but there is something special you pointed out in this video that i would like to explain a bit. the plant that you talked about outside the entrance of the cave is sacred Datura, you are correct. what is really interesting though is how that plant correlates to the cave. typically when this plant is found outside of a cave or area that native Americans used, it is indicative that the spot is considered sacred to them. the reason for this is because (please do not try this, you could die) native Americans used this plant for hallucinating in sacred rituals. that may also explain the smoke stains withing the cave. so next time you are out and about exploring and you see Datura, you may be in a sacred, or once sacred spot. also, next time you see that plant, rub your fingers on the leaves and smell it. it has a peanut butter scent :)
This was a very short and sweet video. Never been in a cave like this before and it's cool to see that there are ways to go for experienced climbers and beginners alike.
Some folks he live in SoCal in particular have this perception that there aren't very many wilderness areas around, or there aren't ones worth going to(rightfully so), but as you prove and in my own experience there are actually a lot of great gems all over CA!
+smetlogik That's exactly what I was thinking! This cave is ancient, and (pending any catastrophic earthquakes) will remain ancient for centuries to come.
Wait, is that a CHICKEN @3:26???😂 No, seriously, great video guys. I'm SO looking forward to my very first visit and very first hike this fall in SoCal!!! But what about lions and tigers and bears.."oh my!!"??😂😂
Cool cave. Too bad people feel that they need to spray paint on the walls. I bet it would be cool to camp in there. Is that allowed? I'm glad that I found Thomas' adventures on here. It reminds me of my trip to Nevada.
In the Woods with Bigfoot you generally dont want to camp in caves, especially not in Southern California. There's a big risk of the cave collapsing and if you want a fire, the heat can cause it to cave in. edit: That being said, you probably theoretically can, considering Native Americans and probably whoever put up the graffiti can. But, I dont think that particular place allows it
Great find! Did you locate this adventure via word of mouth, map, or just passing by? I Love discovering cool new places to explore. Thanks for the video.
+Croaker A buddy of mine told me about it, he's actually the guy in the video. I think he heard about it through a coworker that used to go hiking here
Glad to see Thomas getting some love and tearing up the West Coast. Gotta bring that hookshot for next time though. P.S. loved Ally in the background all like ;)
do you have videos of top things to bring when going on a hiking?...not professional hiking..like more of a casual ''ooohh this place looks good might as well dwelve in the place for a couple or more hours then go back'' kind of things...but also place where there's a travel route and not gonna go out of bounds...
Oh, so like what to bring if you're not staying the night? Me personally I would say bring a platypus for water since they're so convenient, and then just a lunch. If you're day hiking you don't really need anything else unless you want to do some random bushcraft or start a fire for fun. Oh, a headlamp would be good too in case you're out after dark, those are essential for night time. -Robby
Oh, and just realized you asked if we have any videos. We don't, but our gear loadout is like the most requested video. It's high on our priority list! -Robby
could you give directions ?i go to mt boney infrequently and would love a short hike now & then.really just need to know where it's cool to park.thanks
Sure! Below is a link on google maps. There are a few different areas you can park and hike from, but this is the most direct way. When in doubt, just open google maps and type in "Cave of Muntis" and that should do the trick. If you're not sure where it is, just ask around- it's carved into the side of El Escorpion and you shouldn't be able to miss it! goo.gl/maps/aX3GPQhGECx
I went in this cave on my way with my parents i almost touched a rattle snake on purpose my vousins pulled me back then when it started to get dark we heard a coyote
What’s up AdventureArchives crew? This is an awesome video, especially loved your editing skills! This is why we think it would make a great addition to our video of the month contest! Just upload it to campfire.outsidetv.com/home and you could have the chance to win a carabiner + headlamp, Boreo helmet/harness, portable crash pad and be featured on Outside TV! See you on Campfire!

I love the Cave of Munits. Awesome quick adventure in Los Angeles.
This was a very short and sweet video. Never been in a cave like this before and it's cool to see that there are ways to go for experienced climbers and beginners alike.
Out west has some of the most beautiful day hiking areas anywhere. You need to get Andrew, Robby, and Bryan back out west! Great Video Thomas! Bob
That looks like a really nice place to explore. Thanks guys for the video.
Yes love the short videos with great info I have 3 young boys and love taking them out on quick fresh air new hikes!!!

+The Bare-Footed Cambodian There are so many great places! Thanks for the comment
The Bare-Footed Cambodian lol what I’m Khmer too.
Love checking out caves like that. I bet the inhabitants of days gone by would be shocked to see the city residing next to their cave.
+smetlogik That's exactly what I was thinking! This cave is ancient, and (pending any catastrophic earthquakes) will remain ancient for centuries to come.
Nice Find! I'd love to have a cave to explore nearby.
Love these short videos with Thomas! keep it up guys!
+That one guy Thanks man! I try and do it as often as I can
Thats not good enough Thomas. We need 3 of these EVERY DAY. Haha. Love it!!!!!
I love this hike!!
It's definitely a beaut! Part of me is glad that not too many people know about it. --Thomas

Really cool spelunking episode! :) Thanks for your hard work guys, keep it up!
+Meredyth McLaughlin I guess it is spelunking, haha. Although real spelunking is terrifying in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
You guys do such a great job on these videos!
+Matt Shoemaker Thanks Matt, it means a lot to us. We hope you'll stick around for more later!
Outstanding footage and adventure
Love this, Thomas! Never heard this place existed!

Me and my buddies would hang out in this cave on the weekends in our college days. Locals would call it bats cave.

Thanks,
Clark
