    I love how he says “we” are the first people. He considers us to be with him even though he deserves all the credit for these finds. Most selfless guy I’ve ever seen

    Looks cool! I hope Todd's son is getting a chance to see some of the cave. It looks like lots of standing around for those guys. Thanks for taking us along Chigg!

    I already knew that I wasn't fond of heights but after watching these videos I think I might be a little claustrophobic too. It's still fascinating seeing what's under our feet that most people have no idea of.

      That's all I ever think about is what's below us. Massive caverns, tunnels..oil in Canada can be a km under ground or more. Oil sits in caverns, If you can imagine a well being on one site for years constantly pumping not going dry. Just how big those caverns can be.

    Thanks for taking us with you!!! I'm old and broken! If it wasn't for the Aqua Chigger I would never be able to see such wonderful sights!! My favorite by far is his Cliff Dweller videos! Actually that entire Arizona vacation series!!!

    We knew that it would open up for you to explore it some more. Now like you said, get a team of guys an travel on down the narrow passages an see where it will lead us. Looks great an promising. Like I said in my last comment. Nothing like being in a new found cave for the very first time. Being the first to enter the cave is just awesome. An awesome feeling it is. Seems like todds alot of help. He's learning the art of caving from the best (chigg) that's for sure. Won't be long, an MR.todd will calling the chigg, asking if he wants to go caving. On a new permission. Great video guys. You guys are awesome. As always safe an happy caving. # Always remember safety first.😁👍👍

    So cool, Chigg! I can't be the only one who gets anxiety because none of those entrances or passageways looks anywhere near big enough to get thru! Makes me want to uncover and explore the caves by me!

    Ya got me grinning from ear to ear guys. Man that is so awesome. You know..... we have been on some sinkhole finds and attempts that never came to fruition.......but this one brings it all together.....success. A small conveyor of some DIY type would be the ticket. You could really open that baby up enough to allow the water to scour some tight spots. I guess some good sweat equity would do the same. I would want to bucket brigade the dirt and rocks you have already banked outside just to make certain it doesn't go back in. We got ourselves a hole and a lot more videos to come. I'm excited.

    @michaelnevanssr206 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have thoroughly enjoyed watching all the video you have made during this dig-out. Your enthusiasm is contagious and makes me wish I could do as much as you. It seems no matter what you come up against in this, and other, cavings , you have an extremely wonderful positive attitude. Your smile is great and at times a bit mischievous. Thank you for all you do.

    Oh loved it! My second favorite vidio.. Bobby Wobbles and cat rescue s are first. this vidio is second! Love the energy of Chiggs. Like in his eyes and face.. He's doing what he loves!! To watch that is so fun. ..Ok.. In saying that I fear for your life Chigg! Don't let you take and following cloud your mind!! I'm not driving to the east coast to dig you out of some hole you crawled into! Lol Just be safe buddy! Keep them coming!!

  • @ide5587
    @ide5587 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Looks like a massive cave system that has been filled up by sinkholes and farmers over the years. If you dig this out it could be massive and re-activated again!! Keep it up!

    Got closed up in a similar cave a couple years back when I was living in alabama. My entrance caved in so I had to wiggle my way around until I found a small gap and just slowly pulled mud and dirt away, and luckily I felt a nice gust hit me so I knew there was another opening just not sure how large it might be. Sure enough I started seeing some light and some hefty roots and then it hit me, I was beneath an old rotted out tree. Kept poking and hoping and then I found it, an exit just big enough to squeeze through at the base of tree where it had fallen (more like tilted) just enough to expose the cave below.

    I am very new to the channel. I was up until 3:00 a.m. last night watching old videos. I absolutely LOVE this cave series. But I absolutely HATE this cave series....LOL.... I can’t breathe when he’s inside the cave and my legs twitches constantly. Holy moly is that a claustrophobics nightmare scenario. The size of the openings Chigg? My goodness. Just expand the openings and I could see being a bit more comfortable watching you. Your great bro!!! So glad I found this channel!!!

    That looked more like the Dragon's Bowels to me, pinched off at the sphincter. I'm glad you made it our okay and Todd didn't have to make distressing phone calls and send up red flares. It does have a certain eery beauty tho and the formations were very interesting. This series has been a real nail biter and I will be happy when you have all the mud and rocks cleared so you can more safely enter your MeMiner Dragon Cave.

      For the other blind folks, its vertical on the wall directly next to the camera on the right side and is only on screen for a second. Took me way to long to find it.

    • @byrn
      @byrn 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ooh, great eye! Given this cave's location I think that's probably a Long-Tailed Salamander (Eurycea longicauda), that long tail and vertical pattern fits the species, as does the cave habitat.

  • @ObelixMagnetFishing
    @ObelixMagnetFishing 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Beau. Is it an idea where the water comes from with all the mud to partially prevent this with stones and pieces of wood so that only the water gushes through it? And above the cave opening, high enough, to stretch a tarp that catches the water and immediately gushes into the hole below, then you let nature do the most work and flush all the earth in the cave so that it washes out on the other side
