DIVERS REACT TO MAN STUCK DEEP INSIDE A CAVE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ก.ย. 2021
- Today we react to a caving video from England. THis took place back in 2014 and depicts a small team of cavers exploring passages inside Lost Johns Cave. One of the divers gets completely stuck inside "The Tube" and starts to panic as water rises towards his face!
Original video: • Lost Johns Cave, Leck ...

I’m literally laughing out loud at Gus! It is amazing to me that this is absolutely out of the question for Gus but doing this UNDER WATER is completely normal to him! I’m over here like “HELL NO, to all of the above”🤣
Diving them is so much easier, you just float out there enjoying the beauty of the cave...this right here is just hard work and broken bones.
Legit my thoughts! haha
Yeah but oxygen is crucial... less likely to run out of air in a cave
He's a big guy and the cave is narrow. I don't blame him for saying hell no. He won't fit in this cave system.
@@DIVETALK you lazy af
Gus: “I mean, you fall there- you die.”
Gus: “I mean, you get stuck there- you die.”
Gus: “I mean, you slip there- you die.”
Gus: “I mean, you walk there- you die.”
bahaha and woody is like "what do you mean? hes alive. hes with us" lololol!!!
"but it looks fun!"
"I mean, you die."
Maybe they could find a different commentator than an all out wussy. I've only watched two videos of these guys and in both is gus whining and crying about how he wouldn't do this or that. I don't think he's been in any water than a swimming pool. And im sure that made him very nervous worrying that an earthquake will cause thr pool to split open and swallow them alive.
@@brianstanfield104 He cave dives, which makes this so funny. He says that about dry caves, but nonchalantly swims in wet caves, and the rest of us are going, but why? This is actually a pretty good channel, and they give a lot of really good information if you are a person who dives or wants to learn.
"At some point you have to get to the Earth's core...and turn around." 😂 I love Gus's commentary haha
Every time Gus says if only the cave was flooded, I picture him at the cave entrance with a fire hose like, "Yeah, guys we'll be able to enter soon. Just filling nature's swimming pool."
I love how Gus is not into "dry" caving but the dude will dive inside a cave just as tight, cold, dark and on artificial air support. His rational makes complete sense. He is so funny.
I’m about to start cave training soon, he is completely rational
If I’m stuck upside down in a dry cave in screwed, if there’s water I can atleast kick backwards and use my BCD
It was kinda annoying how closed minded he is about it when he'd literally do the same thing in worse conditions
@@cesarrobledo2583 but also you can get killed by just not doing anything. In a dry cave you have the option of camping out and waiting for rescue, along with many many opportunities to help yourself in a bad situation with a clear head. Diving it seems any mistake you make will follow you through the rest of the dive
You guys just don't get it. Being in water is such a calm surreal feeling, used to free dive down and crawl under reefs for fun. I compare it to being in the Earth's womb.
@Skurtle he knows more.
Gus with this dry cave: “nope, no way, this is absolutely bananas.”
Gus after it’s filled with water: “Let’s do this!”
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
He’s to fat to fit. Don’t forget you need air.
@@electrictroy2010 actually you can fall underwater. Your equipment can malfunction or your air bladder fails and you
Sink to 100m. Then you have to decompress or die. So you can fall.
@@electrictroy2010 A height still exists underwater. But ok...?
@@ghosttowntomato you can't fall to your death underwater, but ok?
My heart was racing the whole time once he was stuck. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and I’m sitting comfortably at home. I could never.
Neverrrr, under hundreds of feet of solid earth in a little space 12 inches tall. My lord
I'm a plumber and have been in a few claustrophobic situations. The one that comes to mind the most was doing a water repipe underneath a pier and beam house. There was only about 13" of overhead clearance in the back part where I was working and on top of that there was fiberglass insulation all hanging down and completely obscuring my view to the exit. It came on suddenly and intensely I was surprised at how quickly panic took my mind. Began hyperventilating and suddenly everything around me began to close in and get tighter, I felt like there was no oxygen down there (ridiculous in hindsight of course there was plenty of oxygen) and I just started kicking and freaking out and trying to back out the way I came but became stuck for a few moments due to my own panic that's when the fear really got me and I ended up kicking my coworker in the face to get him to move lol. He's a friend and didn't take it personally but let me tell you when panic sets in it completely takes over. I felt that there was a tipping point when I actually let the panic in, I could have remained calm but I just let the unreasonable thoughts win and that's when you lose control
Imagine if he had been the last person and there was no one to pull him when he decided to back out. Oh, Lord. Never, never.
"Thank you for watching with us, it was horrible, but thank you David" - the perfect summary by Gus.
Gus when people talk about cave diving being dangerous: It's the safest thing, nothing to worry about
Gus watching a video on "dry" caving: MANIACS
“Cave Diving is the safest thing, nothing to worry about”
My TH-cam Recommended list- here is 15 videos cued up of cave diving body recovery!
Lol he supper negative in this video but it’s in a funny way
"no one watching this wants to do this" was just thinking how could it would be to explore this.
Gus is really narrow minded
@@xaphan8581 narrow like a cave?
Gus; "what on earth makes you wanna go in there?" says the guy cave diving and probably 70% of the worlds population thinks the same seeing you go diving in a cave. 😁❤️
But diving, there is water! You can go up and down much more easily! U.u
@@valeblue6281 lol you can’t just go up when you’re 200+ feet under, which he does frequently
Right? You'll see videos of Gus talking about how calm and controlled he is during his dives. He doesn't panic, and he's self-assured. While he's saying all this, video plays of some of the most claustrophobia-inducing 100+ foot depth madness my brain can healthily digest without hyperventilating myself...But even before the first step in the Lost John's cave journey: "NOPE!"
ALSO: in that same video, (I want to say it's when they're reacting to MrBallen + Mike Young...can't be sure), Gus mentions that it's critical viewers don't get the wrong idea that cave diving is ultimately too dangerous and therefore shouldn't be tackled. But in THIS video, he's all about the fear-mongering haha.
My initial thoughts as to why this is: Gus places more fear in gravity and his own physical ability to defy it (climbing/repelling), over drowning, maintaining neutral buoyancy, calculating correct gas mixtures, planning spare tanks, placing 100% trust in maintaining connection with guidelines, decomp stops...it's bonkers to me, but he just needs more confidence. Not much, I'd say. Cave diving is fraught with dangers.
I feel same as Gus everytime I watch one of their cave diver react vids. You can go ahead and have fun squeezing through rocks in pitch black darkness just to go look at more rocks. I'm perfectly happy to sit at home and watch the video of it.
@@kabulbolan I know you need to do decompression stops, of course, but nonetheless you can go between the rocks without being forced to use ropes and risking your life falling down!
I know exactly why Gus refuses to go into such tight spaces, and I'm right there with him - I cannot imagine getting stuck in a situation where I'm not able to stab myself in the heart if I want to.
Don’t forget about the neck
🤣🤣🤣
It's like the 6th point 5 amendement or something. The right of the people to stab themselves in the heart at their convenience, shall not be infringed.
LOL
Much like John Jones that got stuck in the nutty putty cave. I can't believe John Jones lasted 27 hours before passing away RIP JOHN JONES. but I seriously would've debated suicide if I was stuck in a 10 inch wide space upside down I would've had panic attacks and I would've been telling them to give me an overdose of morphine. Matter of fact if I was a spelunker I would bring my own concoction to off myself if I ever got stuck in a place for so long and it is evident I'm not gonna get out
LOL, Gus's commentary really made this video entertaining for me. He was sweating watching the cavers go deeper and deeper. One of the best parts was when Woody asked about a broken leg, and Gus went on to say what the humane thing would be to do. I'll be grilling and drinking on the surface with Gus for sure.
I love how most of Gus's points for why this is scary, is precisely the reason other people are scared of cave diving lmao
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
@@electrictroy2010 you are kinda wrong, you actually can fall to some degree under water, there are pools and streams under water with a different density which could lead to "falling" / sinking :D
@@electrictroy2010 You copy pasted this comment as a reply to literally every comment on this video. Wtf
i was actually surprised to see him that judgmental since the two hobbies have their share amounts of "dangers" and intricacies. i would personally be more afraid to drown wedge in a under water cave vs a broken leg into the abyss lol.😅
so many things can go wrong underwater i don't get why people dive we are humans i don't know if they realized but we aren't meant for water@@electrictroy2010
“What happens if someone breaks their leg at this point?” Gus: you shoot them in the head and go home.
It’s the only humane thing
Gus just created a niche market for "spelunking euthanasia pistol."
@@guardrailbiter very exclusive.
LMAO it’s brutal but accurate
“Daddy’s going home.”
Gus is an instant dry-caver - just add water! :)
Btw I get why dry-caving seems horrible to him. In diving you don´t have the risk of slipping and breaking an ankle, or breaking a foot, or falling into a crevasse. Also you feel weightless, you can move with much less effort. In a dry cave "ascending" is hard work/ climbing. In diving it is floating - which feels safer since you don´t have the feeling of " I don´t have the strength/ energy to do that and I´m going to get stuck". And yes I know, that swimming requires some fitness, and that (technical) diving gear is heavy and you also need at least some level of fittness to do it and move around cylinders all day.
2 years ago I found a hole in the ground, under a cliff. Since all holes lead to adventure, I decided to explore it, expecting it to end after 5-10 meters. But it kept on going and going. After crawling for ~ 100 meters and passing through a squeeze were both my back and chest were touching the tunnel, I found a big room, pristine, with a 10 m high ceiling and full of speleothems. It was pure joy! And that's the beauty of caving (besides pushing your limits).
Don’t do that stupid shit again.
What would you have done if the back and chest squeeze didn’t open out, just got tighter? Is it possible always to reverse or could you have got into a sticky spot if it hadn’t opened into a cavern?
@@alanhillyard1639 It's a personal judgement call based on how tight it feels and what you see in front of you. If it gets tighter and tighter with no end in sight, that's when you back out. The most important part is to remain calm. In certain squeezes you may move centimeter by centimeter (literally), which is normal.
There are 3 important rules when crawling through tight spaces:
1) have at least one arm in front of you (I always have both of them in front of me) so your cross section is smaller and you can use your arms to push/pull yourself
2) never enter head first in a descending passage
3) always tell someone where you are and where are you suppose to return
HE’D BE STUCK THERE like so many other cavers that went to tight spaces & couldn’t reverse
.
Man. Discovering a room full of skeletons. Awesome.
Gus's reaction to the team rappelling deeper into the cave is great.
Woody "it's a dead end, you can't just stop"
Gus "what do you mean you can't stop? You could just not do this!" 🤣
I had to go replay the part right after this because I was laughing so hard I missed it 🤣
Gus' pure hate towards 'dry caves' is the funniest thing I've watched in a long time!! I love when he looks at Woody with such a sense of disapproval like 'you cheating on me with those horrible no-good dry caves??'.. His face looks so personally angry at the caves the entire time.. I had to explain to my roommate why I was laughing so hard at a caving video it was pure gold!! XD
17:42 is hilarious
He looks fucking disgusted whenever he is watching the cave footage, like he has found better things on the bottom of his shoes than this cave... Lmfao! It's like the cave killed his parents or something, and its now his worst enemy for life
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
@@electrictroy2010in a cave without water you can breath
There are caving videos and scenarios that terrify me. Like the Nutty Putty cave incident, for example, makes me very hesitant to explore caves. But this cave is actually quite open and spacious, and contrary to Gus's prediction, this video makes me want to explore that cave. It's the caves where you are squeezing your body through tight passages for hours that make me want to avoid every hole in the ground.
i’ve watched this video so many times. perfect example of gus and woody’s relationship. 😂
“Shoot you in the head and walk out! It’s the only humane thing…”
- Gus, 2021
🤣🤣
Honestly? If there was no way I could be saved, I'd legitimately agree.
That had me dying
can't have guns in england though...
@@Wrigggy or Chicago or New York. But….
I haven’t laughed this hard during a dive talk in a long, long time. Gus’ comments and Woody’s prodding are just absolute gold.
"There's hamburgers at the end, we cook em' up." had me dying!!
and diamonds! 😉
@@ckeilah 😂😂😂

My thoughts exactly
I lost it at the "we'll just put two knots" part hahahaha. And Gus' absolute disgust for dry caving the entire time lol.
I do scuba dive (just open water) and I think a big difference between dry caving and anything underwater has to do with the feeling of being weightless. It's almost like floating. From this perspective, I totally see the difference between wet and dry caving for Gus. The difference has less to do with claustrophobia and more to do with how much work it takes to crawl on your belly or get out of a jam in a dry cave versus wiggling and frog kicking while weightless.
The two ventures do share a lot of commonalities
-strong social communities
-a necessity in being a team player
-importance of proper planning and training
-benefit to calming your mind and thinking "How can I"
-an appreciation for the natural world that is only seen by a small handful of people
These videos are excellent. I can experience the misery of caving without ever entering a cave

@@electrictroy2010 if the water is pretty clear you can experience also fear of heights underwater...
😂 I agree exploring without leaving your home!
@@electrictroy2010 there is a whole bunch of other fears people face when diving including many invisible ones, but im sure you know about them since you watch this channel. for example being sucked by a current is for sure worse than falling because you cant see it and it can go in every direction
I’m on Team Gus totally all the way which is no way gonna go there.
Woody calling him fat was a low shot tho, imo
Gus is terrified of getting stuck in a "dry" cave. Apparantly he has a tank as an excuse when he's on scuba. Woody you should get him all geared up...fins and all and take him into a dry cave. lol
@@25schmeckles55 i highly doubt that he was being derogatory in nature though and im sure gus already knows hes a lil big for those tight spaces and being 6'3 and 255 myself id say im a lil to big too its all in good fun boys will be boys
@@fukjoebiden6122 fair enough bro :)
@@25schmeckles55 Banter is something friends do. Not everyone is a snowflake who gets PTSD from a joke from pals.
Hearing Gus emphatically say "I'm never going to do this " to things I've done really boosted my self esteem. Thanks for that. 😊
The way these guys casually poor peer pressure on Gus as if he's almost not even there he's absolutely hilarious. Gus' protests to their peer pressure is even more funny lol
*Woodys foot gets wedged in a crevice that he can easily twist out of*
Gus: “Oh no guys, Woodys gone keep moving or we die” 😂
Gus calling recovery experts to collect all the people who lost a shoe in the mud and needed to be humanely put down.
Gus has to get out the pistol and go old yeller on Woody. rip :’(

The Donald Cerrone approach to caving
David: "Never say never"
Gus: "Never"
Woody: OMG WE ARE SO DOING THIS
😂😂
Lmao woody is awesome I’d love to do some dry caving with him some time.
Watching these videos really make me want to go dry caving and cave diving but I'm 99% sure I will never go through a restriction. No way. Watching someone go through a restriction scares me more than all the stories of all the things that go wrong in caving.
Caver here. That looks like a great and fun cave!
Apart from the basic safety precaution, and planning.
The one thing we usually worry and pay attention is flood flash, that can turn the situation into dangerous really really fast.
David is right, we usually pay attention and take weather into account, also leave "spotter" on entrance to observe and alert of this if situation change.
What are your thoughts on cave diving?
@@narkedandafraidBoth fascinating and terrifying, it's probably one of the most dangerous outdoor activity/sport. I'm nowhere near close to qualify doing that.
When i'm still active as caver about 10 years ago or so, i think there's less than 5 person on my entire country who qualified/cerfitied for cave diving.
I love how woody is counselling him through when he’s stuck in the cave freaking out. Even though it’s a video.
He’s naturally a great trainer.
Aside from that, I’m with Gus ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. No way. No. Way.
Yeah, I could barely watch the part were he was stuck. I don't think I have the emotional regulation to handle situations like that. What a gift that seems people can keep their cool and support others.
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
Gus is like my brain's commentary while watching these vids lol
I think it's amazing how Gus is more terrified to be in a cave WITHOUT water than a car FILLLED with water. You are an American treasure Gus.
The stark contrast between Gus's reaction vs Woody's & David really makes this video very funny, can't stop smirking lol
25:35 Woody: “This is awesome”
Caver “HELP, HELP, HELP ME”
Lol
Woody: "Serious question, Dave. If there's a flash flood, is it a problem?"
Gus: ...
Dave: ...
Me: ...
Literally lmaoooo
Mossdale incident will answer that question
Ha yeah I bet there's some soccer players who could answer that for ya...
A great time to combine semi wet caving and cavediving I'd say
@PsyintZ
It's funny, how I see your comments everywhere - you're watching pretty much the same type of content!
Gus and Woody. You guys rock. “What do you mean cant just stop. You can just not go” my kind of guys. You are definitely saving lives.
Lololol the way you two interact is hilarious. Gus's reactions and cringing is so funny, like a kid just saying nope. That face and shaking his head @12:57 looked like a kid just refusing to do something. And Woody was like the dad trying to bribe his kid with burgers and cookout as a reward at the end. I'm still lmao.
"this guy. Leave him. He's dead" made me laugh so hard.
Woody: "What do you right now if I break my leg from this point in the cave?"
Gus, without skipping a beat: "Shoot you in the head and walk out. It's the only humane thing."
LMAO
By far one of my favorite videos from you guys.
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
Haha yea! @shoot u in the head and move on!” 🤦🏻♀️😂
@@electrictroy2010 are you a bot?
Woody : i meant to say it's gus' with the broken leg. 😂😂
woody’s face as gus says that is so good. I love their relationship 😂
The thing about dry caving is that you can push the extremes of tightness further, and that's what they do, making it way more claustrophobic. You don't "squeeze through" stuff in underwater caves because that will risk your equipment and getting stuck for even a while can be a death sentence already.
Gus' anxiety this episode was absolutely delicious and i enjoyed every second 😂
Gus, Stick with your resolve, I've shattered an ankle before. One of the most painful breaks in the human body. Broke it when I was a kid playing in caves near my home. Required a couple surgeries and, 20 years later, the ankle is still not right. Secondly, after what happened at the Nutty Putty Caves, all my interest with, " just going a little further," into any cave was done!!!! Great show. Love you guys
Nutty putty is a nightmare
Not Nutty November
Nutty Putty story have me the creeps for longer than anything else I can think of. I'm with Gus on this one.
Nutty putty and the boys and coach in Thailand, both remind me of why I would never go in another cave! I live close to Mammoth cave. Went there several times in my life. It has railings and electricity. And I would never even go back there. All it takes is one earth quake, and you are stuck. Me and my claustrophobia don’t need to be anywhere near there! Lol
The loveliest part of this video is how Gus is acting exactly how everyone one of us non divers acts when we watch some of these videos. To be honest from watching some caving videos this kind of cave looks pretty tame and apart from the repealing not to advanced.
This cave would be amazing...if it was flooded!
@@DIVETALK that makes it sound worse! Lol. At least here they can breathe without time limits
@@lyndiwilson2334 not really, dry caves have gravity, that guy who died in the Nutty Puddy incident would be alive today if he was cave diving, because nothing would be pulling him down, as a matter of fact he would’ve inflated his wing and float up backwards. Flooded caves are safer!
@@DIVETALK You make a good point on that one...the Nutty Putty cave video is what made me swear off dry caves. After understanding what happened to that guy, NOPE!!! I do kind of wish they were able to hacksaw him out somehow, but I also understand the logistics of the situation and how it wasn't possible. But man, you gotta feel for that guy.
@@DIVETALK Ohhh, I didn't think about the gravity part. Good point. Tight spaces though, 😬
absolutely insane. Never realized how deep caves can actually go and that people actually explore them like this. Imagine this filled with water :D
At least if it filled with water Gus would be happy.
Gus I love how you are reacting to this. These are the exact reactions I have to a lot of the diving videos.
Lol I’m absolutely with Gus on this one! His discomfort and disgust is hilarious and I resonate with every bit of it!
me three
@@slayersboxer915 p
Yep! No thanks!
Gus showing his fear of dry caves has me rolling. All the normal thoughts of "stay calm, its ok" out the window hahaha "we are all dead"
Agreed Gus, I'd hate that, no chance!! On the plus side, after living in the UK for 28 years I never felt or heard of an earthquake happening there, if there was an event, it's extremely rare!
Honestly, I'm with Gus, I want to get more into diving and eventually get cave trained, but I like the idea of being able to swing back up, and not have to get stuck because of gravity or broken repelling equipment.
"now if theres an earthquake in there..."
gus, immediately: "he dies"
LMAOOOO gus was literally me watching this
Woody to Gus ".....because you're a wanna be dry caver?" I literally laughed out loud at that.
I became diver recently, but im rope access technician for 18 years and this video was double the fun for me.
Diving in a deep cave sounds scarier to me since the air we can breathe is limited...But I love those comments Gus made. I was laughing out so hard!
Seeing the guy stuck in the end, I had to get up and walk around. Just watching this on video gives me a sense of terror. I do love this kind of content, as it scares me more than any horror movie ever could. I'd feel safer firing arrows strait up into the air, than doing this kind of caving.
we used to do this as kids with selfmade bows and arrows. the arrows were not very sharp but still a pretty dumb thing to do haha
SAME
Ah yes, Lawn Darts from back in the day.
Whatever you do, do not read about John Jones.
Right there with u. Almost puked.
“Feel free to loose my number… because I'm never going this!"
Literally loled at this part and the crack to hell and several other Gus one liners throughout...
I'm having a pretty awful day and this made me laugh so hard. I have no interest in diving but have loved this acct for months now. Tysm ❤
Gus: *takes two steps into a dry cave* I am straight up not having a good time.
I could see Gus' soul leaving his body all throughout this video. Absolute gold.
PS: I agree. This is horrible. My claustrophobia was triggered bigtime.
Yup...me watching that guy get stuck knowing I have a panic attack if I get stuck in a piece of CLOTHING: 😲😟😵😲🥺😣😖
Omg same!!!! Gus is hilarious. I love it
I'm not claustrophobic at all and it freaks me out.
I agree I have watched a ton of their content and this is the first video to give me anxiety I'm with Gus 100%
Oh my and when the water started filling up in that guys face when he was stuck
First, 10/10 guest on this one. David is hilarious and you three have fantastic banter. Second, I know you're a scuba diving channel and I'm absolutely here for that (even though I'm not a scuba diver!), but any time you two pick a dry cave, it absolutely is a comedy video. I adore it! I have to regularly remind myself to remember to glance up-right to catch Gus occasionally looking horrified, shaking his head, etc. Gus and Woody, you two make for a fantastic channel!
David has a radio voice
I’m with Gus. I’m staying and manning the grill.
Gus is killing me tonight! First, I watched you guys watching the Unspeakable Horrors of the Deep Sea and now this one! ❤ omg, so funny and at the same time, I feel Gus' terror - NO WAY would I want to do this. I'm feeling anxiety watching this and yet can't stop watching, either. *shuddering* no freaking way. Gus" why not? at some point you have to reach the center of the earth." 😂 I don't know which is more terror inducing to me, these tight land caves or the deep scuba tight caves... both equally create nightmares. Can't stop watching, though!
I fell down a rabbit hole a couple weeks ago of horror TH-camrs telling stories of caving and cave diving gone wrong. It spiked my anxiety terribly and I was so freaked out at the thought of walking in any confined space even in my home for a couple days. Then TH-cam recommended me your channel, and I love it. Your expertise that is approachable and your humor has made me fascinated rather than horrified with caving. You don't sugarcoat the risks but you're practical and realists with a good natured love for the activity. Thanks for this channel!!
I’ve been watching so many “something went terrible wrong” videos lately that I initially thought you’d fallen down a literal rabbit hole. I was waiting to read how you were rescued from the hole lmao
You’re scared of small places in your home bc of some TH-cam videos? That’s actually not ok😂 but I will agree I would never even think about goin in some shit like that
I'm currently stuck in that rabbit hole now 😳
@@chiefchimp3g922 the whole point of anxiety is that it's irrational. So yeah I was scared briefly of stupid things that wouldn't actually hurt me
@@superbaddctv Good luck to you!
I love how Gus was so surprised that they caver guy loved this environment. He's a caver guy, of course he loves the tough experiences that's the point its supposed to be hard.
Same 😆
im 100% feeling like gus. like why would someone do this :D. just imagine youre stuck and push through and then you have a full blown panic attack no idea how to get out thinking youre stuck in the worst idea you ever had.
Caving teaches you a special kind of patience and calmness.
This is a riot! I don't think I've ever seen Gus so freaked out! I'm right there with you dude, I could NEVER wiggle into a cave like that
I really appreciate the thoroughness and explanation of what's going on for those of us new to this sort of adventure. Sometimes when pros of a certain field talk shop, they can sometimes use terms which aren't commonplace causing confusion for the average Joe. You guys do a great job of explaining what's going on so I can keep up. Love the content, always enjoy tuning in. ~ Brian
Thank you Brian, I’ve been enjoying some of your videos as well!
I do too! I absolutely love this channel and it’s inspiring me to shell out the dough and go for an open water certification. Plus, their on-screen chemistry/riffing is hilarious and endearing. Love this channel.
Also-David, is that invite to take first-timers dry caving a genuine offer? Because I am SO in.
Yes! You put this perfectly, I'm interested in diving but have absolutely no experience, these guys do a great job of making me feel like I understand what's actually happening in these stories. Actually paint a very, almost clear I guess, mental image for me
That's one of the biggest issues with communication. You shouldn't use slang or field specific words, terms and acronyms around others that aren't in that specific industry or hobbies.
Does Woody have Progeria?
Woody: Did you do your Christmas shopping?
Gus: Hate malls.
Woody: Hold on! What if the mall is flooded?
I wonder if the appeal in caving through death-trap spaces is the excitement of exploring to find what’s ‘around the corner’ or it’s about who is most daring among your peers
The reactions from Gus are absolutely hysterical!! I am literally laughing out loud and couldn’t agree more with how unappealing the entire idea of ever doing this would be!! Although I would never want to dive or cave explore I’m somewhat comforted knowing that people like you exist. What amazing drive and courage you all possess to willingly go into these situations!!
In a cave you can fall & die. Underwater you cannot fall, so it’s better for people afraid of heights
.
It's as idiotic as cave diving. Humans don't belong underwater and underground.
I'm 100% with Gus on this, you must have some screws loose to want/enjoy this type of "adventure".
at least you dont drown and die everytime something goes wrong
Right!
Same as under water cave diving you can drown if you run out of air so..
And this is a lot different from cave diving how?
Are you kidding, that is fun, and yes... I'm caver.
what is worse than going through a tight, dark cave? fill it up with water so you cant breath without bulky equipment with multiple points of failure
I loved it, I’m small enough to fit through all of it however, I’m a little claustrophobic. I’ve went crawling through a cave on my knees and climbing over cave walls but to be on my belly crawling I don’t think I could do it. But awesome video!!! Love your energy!
Im with Gus on this one, hell no. I will not end my days stuck underground
Well, not while you're alive anyway. ; )
I'm with Gus, absolutely no f**cking way. My anxiety went through the roof watching this.
I'm not a diver , never done it in my life, but somehow i found your videos very entertaining
Right when they said “no one on TH-cam is thinking about doing this right now” is right where I was thinking, this would be SO cool. Except I know rappelling if fun and ascending sucks so I hope it’s a walk out exit!
As a hiker/climber I can truly say that I will never complain about being on a rock face ever again.
This whole video Gus is thinking of his plan for the “Cave diver reacts to cave diver partner dies in dry cave” video of woody and this other guy’s next adventure
Lol @ gus face and commenting on the video is.. me watching all the videos you guys upload... But I still can't seem to stop freaking watching I LOVE to JUST WATCH THE ADVENTURES ❤️❤️😁 and learn a couple things I'm never gonna do 😂
Oh my god. This would be my literal hell. I can’t even IMAGINE being REMOTELY interested in doing this. Some people are absolutely insane. But wow, I really enjoy hearing you all talk about this stuff. Very terrifying but so interesting to see.
Gus is cracking me up "I'm never gonna do this." Dry and underwater caving are equally terrifying to me so I get his sentiment 😂
This dry cave expert was extremely interesting and insightful, I really enjoyed this format of video, please do more dry cave commentary in the future.
I love that cave! Those narrow sections remind me of the first cave I've ever done in my life when I was 12. It was a really safe cave yet we went through an unofficial entrance that wasn't really known (even to our instructors who were ex-military). The first 10-15 feet were just legs to one wall and back to the other to descend and then just follow the narrow tunnel till we found an opening. For us, new guys it was presented like we are discovering a completely new cave found while setting up a zipline in the mountains but our instructors knew exactly where we going. At some point, we went into the main cave where a tourist was (our section was blocked by red tape not to cross ;)) and when we were going deeper I as the smallest person went into a tiny crack in the rock and found the last "dead end" with a nice big opening but between the crack and that opening, there was small crack going down (it was around 1 foot wide maybe a little bit more). Amazing experience, the cave was really easy, I've done it in a t-shirt but some parts were a great adventure!
BTW. the whole camp thing which was survival as I did only that kind of camp since I was really young was canceled after this one as it was called too extreme, which is a shame as it was the best survival experience in a safe environment you can have. Hand made beds in military tents in the middle of nowhere, my first mountain climbing (I couldn't make one section where you have to wedge your fist in a crack as my fist were too small), jump on an aerodynamic rope (which is like a bungee but you're tied by your waste and swing under the bridge), paintball inside the abandoned bunker where you had to rely on your hearing as it was pitch black and much much more, all that having fear of heights that only gave me more adrenaline and thaught me I love to be up there or down below.
And as always, love your channel guys and I'm 30 now but want to do diving more and more (there is never too late to start)
LOOOOL I was watching this thinking, huh I just went on my first caving trip, it was great fun, I loved it - it was to Notts II cave in the Yorkshire Dales which is directly connected to Lost Johns - which a load of friends did while we did this other cave connected to it. I'd definitely love to see Gus down this thing. I'll be right there with him.
Gus's resistance is so adorable. I love you guys' overall dynamic and honestly, despite being claustrophobic, you guys have got me super fascinated by caves and cave diving.
Gotta love how gus is a bad ass whenever it's cave diving but any other type of caving he's a trembling kitten
So true he's a real guy no bs
Love having David on! Welcome friend!
An older guy told me long time ago two wise things,..one concerning Caves and the other concerning Motorcycles. As for caves he said, "If you ain't a Bat or Batman, stay out of caves". And for Motorcycles, he said, "There are two types of Motorcycle riders, those who've been in an accident, and those who are gonna be in an accident". I listened to what he said.
This turned really quick from "Divers React" to "Cavers roast Gus!" Always love the banter and commentary, been binging a ton of the content lately and I love how informative and fun the show always is! Keep up the good work guys!
😂🤣🤣🤙🏼So much fun guys!
No idea why but these guys are so funny for no good reason

This is the second time I’ve watched them and the commentary is so funny! 😂
i love the boyish glow in woody's eyes when he tries to convince gus to engage in his shenanigans lol
I would be totally down to go caving! I'm a relatively small stature of a person too, so most places aren't a no go for me when it comes to body size vs cave hole size.

Gus is hilarious 🤣 lol the woody comment about giving Gus two knots made me burst out laughing on the bus.
I'm with Gus on this one. There's extra factors to dry caving vs underwater cave diving. For one the hight and knowing you could fall down a huge drop. You can't fall in the water. Also the climbing, descending, ascending and "parkour" you have to do vs just having to swim is also another scary risky factor 😬
yet cave diving has more deaths percentage wise
I mean at least air is sufficient for any amount of time
More people die in underwater caves than dry caves. You ain’t dying under ground in dry caves unless you knowingly make a mistake. Underwater too much can go wrong without your own factors involved. Too many mechanical issues could arise.
Also, cave can get flooded
I love Gus' reactions. I´m a scuba diver and I also do a bit of caving whenever I can, but I would never in my life think of mixing those two things. Underwater caves are terrifying!
"That makes it easier, when someone else has gone ahead, so you know you can do it" at precise moment the guy is getting hopelessly stuck
Gus: "Oh, yeah?" 😏

@@electrictroy2010 fair point
@@electrictroy2010 you drown and you die.
Love to do such a cave. Most of my caving experience was during Uni, which is over 20 years ago now. Since then my main activity switched to climbing. As such being able to combine a cave with some long pitches like this would be great. I had some experience of using SRT (ascenders and descenders) back on Uni but a majority of what I did didn’t need ropes.
I never laugh so much watching videos as I do with Gus and Woody's stuff. Gus insisting he'll never do something and Woody ignoring him. Gus stating he'll never try to wedger himself through those tiny cracks when I literally just watched a video of him wedging himself through a crack smaller than him--while underwater. The crack about at some point you have to get to the Earth's core, OMG. -- "They could be a hundred feet or more." "It's like a thousand feet." -- "What do you do right now if I break my leg from this point in the cave?" "Shoot you in the head and walk out. It's the only humane thing" -- "Look at this guy, leave him, he's dead" -- LOL. You guys are hilarious.
