People were insane back then. I visited a touristy cave that had been discovered by 2 small children in the late 1800s or early 1900s and they explored all over this giant cave with diy molotovs basically lmao. Barely able to see inches from their own faces in a cave with drops hundreds of feet tall and rooms hundreds of feet across. Apparently the parents never knew and decades later the kids re-purchased the property and turned it into what it is today.
As a historian, the carving from 1849 was an amazing find, crazy that someone else was there not that long ago (or at least in terms of human history). Keep up the good work.
Yeah 1849 is literally history touching across time, which is really incredible that modern people can connect with someone who was there 174 years ago.
Oldest inscription i've ever found was from 1727. Gypsum cave in UK. Had some initials, but my memory is fuzzy. Southern part of the isle, tho i hear it has caved in since last i saw it, oh ... about 11 years ago, which is kind of shame, because i've seen many, many inscriptions, never one so old.
just saw your channel in my recommendations love how its not click bait or trying to hype us up its just you hanging out with your friends and exploring while taking us along
This why I like TH-cam. This video reminds me of a time before the influencers and the big commercialisation. Feels very raw and unedited. Not sensationalistic.
It's related to what you watch, I used to watch a lot of raw non commercial or influencer-like pond building videos and my home page was full of raw videos like this. When you watch mainstream youtubers and trends, your home page will be filled with them.
Dude, those tight spots were kinda sketchy, but the deep blue hole reminded me of places that divers fear, which could be connected to underground lakes even miles away where a change in water level can create powerful hydrodynamic forces... believe me, it's the stuff nightmares are made of.
I don't know anything about any of this but I know I'm angry at them for doing something so scary. Even if they are safe and I'm too worried, it felt too tight. Its that weird anger you get when you see people doing crazy backflips at the edge of a skyscraper for adrenaline.
The yellow is sulpher, the spot on the blue quarts was iron.. usually iron appears oxidized ( rust coloured ) please dont be neglegent in you exploration.. that blue hole could potentially have some dangerous currents, the eddy pockets carved into tge rock passages you aproached frm indicates that at times water is flowing very very rapidly there.. venturi principal applies: an increase of velocity creates a decrease in pressure in the surrounding medium. In cave time lines thkse were formed relatively recently. Those same currents not present currently above are entirely possiblle below the ledge line. Very easy to just drop a small string with a washer on it into it first before you "dive in" to check conditions . I gather it appeared to be a spring and not a sump, and i do appreciate watching your adventures. Respectfully intended :)
Those holes are ancient, from when that portion of the cave formed. Rocks tumbled in those holes and cut the rock floor into pockets, which then broke. Nobody alive today was even a DNA flake back when those formed.
Exactly what I was thinking after learning how places that connect to underground lakes or the ocean even miles away can create powerful hydrodynamic forces that are so strong they could pull a man through a 4" crack.
It's really rich in arsenic in that area is what I was told by a geologist. Idk myself but there's barely any life in it and there's a mine upstream about 6 miles. So idk.
One of my favorite parts about watching your videos is noticing how supportive you guys are of each other. Every comment one person makes the other responds with supportive approval, and while ones crawling or climbing an obstacle, the other is cheering them on. it’s wonderful and surely very essential for keeping each other calm during such an extreme activity.
I've always been scared to step on the grates at the bottom of swimming pools, because of what could be underneath. That blue hole tho... it's another level of fear inducing. Epic adventrue as always guys!
Parents, aunts and uncles probably all know the feeling. I babysit my niece and nephew and watch them climb around or between things. Totally agree. This type of content is risky by nature.
Absolutely crazy going in the tight crawl spaces. What happens if you get truly stuck in a passage. Was scary looking at it. Made me feel very uncomfortable and worried for these young people. 😮
Very impressed to see there are fish and even crayfish so deep in a cave. You could do a future video on underground fauna and flora, that would be really interesting.
To anyone watching.. its a SUPER good idea to either have a stick or something like a sinker on a line to toss in front of you to gauge water depth before just trekking through like that. All you need is one tiny little pocket or a drop and your doing “120 hours” under water. In a cave.
So you guys went into and came back out of a spring at the source of a creek or river. Really cool to see those from the inside, and see how the aquifer is 100% connected. Do you guys ever check a map to see which rivers you might be splashing through the underground, unknown portions of?
Well guys, I had a good time thanks for letting me tag along again. The cold water was refreshing and better than these high temps. You all take care and be careful.
Dude, you guys are crazy and brave!! I instantly flashed back to the horror movies, "The Descent" and " The Cave". After I watched those movies I could never do what you do specially squeezing thru the tight spot. Props to you guys and if you've never seen those movies you should! The 1849 carving was awesome!
This is sending my anxiety levels sky high. I was lost in a cave system aged 8 when my brother ran off with the light. It was only an hour or so but I'll never forget it. Take care dudes.
@@aleh781 hi. It was traumatic, I can remember holding on to the slimy walls, I was to terrified to let go incase I fell into a black hole or something. I'm still terrified of enclosed spaces
Your brother’s actions could have cost you your life! Shame on him then and now! Praise God you survived to tell your story and I hope your brother apologized and got punished severely!!!
Most of it is just like you see here and in other spelunking videos. It's the thrill of simply being in the places where no one has is what seems to drive most of them. When you think of the world now, mankind has been to almost all of the surface. exploration has evolved into what we have now. Extremely dangerous though 😳! I stick to abandoned places. Exploring what once WAS seems alot safer in comparison, albeit still dangerous 😊
These videos are amazing! I would honestly be terrified to delve into caves. Too afraid of getting lost or there being a cave-in or something but y'all are genuine explorers
You guys are now added to my top 10 list of dangerous things to do in the world. Riding a bucking bronco is crazy too!!! As a mom, I would be really furious if my child were down there!!!
With the water down there always check the weather report for the area you're going to explore. A flash flood would fill those caves and caverns and you would more than likely die. A few years back 6 professional cavers from the UK were exploring a series of caves with low level water running through hoping to find where the water was going, outside it started raining and then heavily raining, a flash flood filled the cave and there ya go. ☹️
That was one of the coolest places Ive ever seen. Thank you all for doing what you do! Although I fear for your safety every time...I can tell you know what you're doing! I am unable to do these kind of things...due to age and wheelchair...you have made it possible for me to experience amazing places! So...thank you! Be safe! ❤❤❤❤😎
I love watching you exploring the caves! I must admit I enjoyed this one a lot more than others where the conversations are “duuuude and meeaaan” remarks to one another! Informational regarding what you are seeing is so much more interesting! Exceptional video!
Ósea que abajo ⬇️ unos metros o más puede estar hueco y corriendo agua 💧 , como el libro 📖 tierra hueca, ellos ya sabían, hueca por el drenaje, hueca por la tubería del agua y la tubería del desagüe y por los túneles, como no quieren que se caigan los edificios 🌇🌆 y más sí son grandes
That tight water crawl gave me chills! All I could think about was that you could get stuck if there was nowhere to turn around and you had to try reversing out! Of course I just heard a story around a month ago about a guy who was stuck in a spot like that for weeks while a rescue attempt was being made and he died before they were able to extract him so that is part of the reason I was thinking about that so much! 😆
Oh, yourself getting stuck is nothing. What if the person behind or Infront go crazy and decide to block you in? What if they have a stroke and die, leaving you unable to move the body, stuck and trapped, hot and sweating as you struggle to escape,as your flashlight battery runs out?
I would have easily participated in the first part, no problem. Simply swim over the seemingly ultra deep hole, maybe after 6 attempts. But crawling in the ultra narrow passage with water in it and you never know if a load will suddenly appear, that's just sick. you are all disturbed!!!!!! I LIKE IT, JUST AWESOME!!! Many greetings from Germany!!
That cave was so beautiful, yet terrifying at the same time. The reflections in the water around timestamp 12:20 had me thinking something huge was swimming around in the water, haha 😅
The Strid. Look into it. The caving in this video reminded me why The Strid is so deadly. Please recognize that caving in water depths over 3 inches and running water is exceptionally dangerous. Your not wearing thermo gear, carrying life saving equipment and able to communicate with other team members outside. Water is not your friend in caving. Have fun, but know your risks.
Loved seeing that carving from 1849. Crazy to think that he saw what you saw hundreds of years ago, and it is relativley the exact same as what you are seeing. I think you should leave a time capsule in one of these. Have it sealed and prepared to last hundreds of years.
Do yall already know your location from above as you walk below ground via location tracker or are there known maps of the cave system? Just interested if you know where you’re at in relation to the surface once under the ceiling in the first large opening?
Almost any cave, big or small, long or short, is going to have been explored and mapped by a few cavers from the National Speliological Society. It may be just a hand drawn map, but it'll be accurate.
Absolute mad lads and lass. Swimming them pools and feeling one pulling you in. That would be a big no go for me. The only caves I've been into were over in Northern Ireland and was on the tour routes. We've got some impressive cave systems in the Yorkshire Dales, which I'm good enough just standing behind a fence to look down into pot holes and think you'd buzz to explore them. There's one cavern called Gaping Gill where people can be winched into through the waterfall that drops into it and is the largest in the UK.
You guys have some nerve. It began with Enid Blyton's river of adventure and then suddenly transformed into what my worst nightmares are made up of. Kudos to you.
3:29 that's the ceiling, fallen in one giant chunk. That must've made a loud thud in the ground. I remember stories about caves being found on farmer's fields after ground shakes, which turned out to be this, huge chunks of rock falling down.
Awww Hellz yeah! You guys just took me back 37 years. In my early 20s we were you! I was remembering so many caves while watching your vid. Every weekend and holiday we were underground, sometimes 3 days at a go. Glad to see you're keeping the passion alive. I'd have killed for led lights back then, not necessarily a person, but i'd have defo killed a few pizza's 😂.
How do you guys remember your way back out? The further id go, the more id forget. Man yall are amazing! No fear just go! Thanks for showing us what most of us want to see but are afraid to take those type risks. Keep Searching✊🏾
Aren’t you afraid of getting lost? Some sidewalk chalk or giant wax markers would be wise to mark the way you came in or fluorescent orange spray paint
I found these TH-camrs about a week ago and I have already watched every one of your videos. I went to my first cave and I’m obsessed with them but I deafly can’t do the tight squeeze so please be safe out there. Thank you guys for the videos. And honestly they make me want to get out of my comfort zone to go do more things.❤❤
I was totally all like, "Yeah, that's one cave I'd actually go into...", right up until the tight-squeeze part. Nope nope nope. I'd probably get stuck in there. Too much linguini...
Are there any small drones you could bring with you to squeeze past small spaces? I see a lot of these explorations end because the space becomes too tight. I always wonder what you would see if you drove a small corded drone deeper.
@@r_boto It doesn't have to be a stock quadcopter. The blades can be protected anyway if it was a quadcopter. The definition of drone that I'm using describes a remote-controlled autonomous vehicle.
Wooooooow, this is a caver's dream! Well, a caver's who also happens to love water 😊 in Croatia taking off your helmet is a big no no, wearing a protective durable caving suit is a must. Was it cold? Did you get cave diver teams to explore the hole? Looks promising. Some cave divers in Croatia would absolutely love this.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video this is the first one I’ve ever seen! If you have others I will surely look for them but I have to say I was scared for those of you crawling out of such tight spaces!! I was scared that you might not make it out without someone getting injured!! Are you ever worried about the air your breathing may be toxic?? Do you carry any small portable oxygen or is that not an issue in the caves you search?? Well I was relieved to see you made it out safely!! I do wish you would have etched a name and the year on the cave wall like the person did back in 1849??
They are super lucky there wasn't a flash flood that trapped them deep insife the moutain. You can tell by the pot holes and other markings that most of that cave has been exposed to high levels of high pressure water.
We are going back in 2 weeks with dive equipment, problem is that hole is a hour and a half into the cave so it's going to be a heck of a hike carring 70lbs.
I have apparently arrived here after watching entirely too many videos about caving disasters so this has my anxiety all the way up, but this is absolutely amazing!
As an imaginative dark fantasy poet and someone who draws, I always find these caves, especially those with water, incredibly mystical. I'm surprised that fantasy creatures don't exist because these caves look so magical. Maybe not to you, but to me, they even appear colorful with unique and different shades. Imagine fairies and mermaids living in these caves if they were real, or discovering gemstones or diamonds. It would be incredible and even more magical. I wish I could experience what you guys do.
5:00 It looks like a microbialite that's oxidizing Fe(2+) to Fe(3+) using atmospheric oxygen. I think you guys would be interested in learning about geobiology and biogeochemistry, especially if you are in university or are interested in a graduate degree.
This is my first time viewing your exploration and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you explore the cave and feeling really scared of something coming out and hurting you! You guys are way Brave! Thank you for putting up this video I have really enjoyed it, but where are you? Where is the cave?
Yep was thinking what if it got so tight you couldn't go any more forward and then you had to do that crawl in reverse😳 panic would kill in that situation
@@boscoalbertbaracus1362 no. Look at the way there are curls of mud peeled up along the edges of the scratches. Sure, a rock or a limb _could_ do that, but not in a cave. If you're saying water did that by pushing a rock or a limb, then you don't understand how water works. It would wash and smooth the scratches as they happened, those are clearly dry scratches, with dried peeled up edges.
If I went into any cave I would have to have it marked so I can find my way out just in case. It's also good that you went in there as a group and not by yourself.
Hamer Cave at Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana. Did you check out nearby Cave River Valley Nature Area? Many a years ago, I explored several caves on private property in Monroe, Owen, and Lawrence counties, but only a small handful of public ones in Washington County. Many are now locked by the local grotto club and kept for only themselves under the guise of protection and safety.
You guys should bring some glow sticks so ya can drop them down the deep holes with water and see how far they go. Amazing job you guys. Absolutely love watching!
Get a very long rope, and a heavy rock and start to lower it down and see how deep it goes and a gopro and a light attached. they used to this method centuries ago and a ship tried to do it over the Marianas trench and his biggest rope was 200ft I think. Edit: they used this method but not with a gopro and a light, the way they measured it is if it hit the bottom they would use the wet part of the rope to measure how deep it is. (It's just my guess on how they did it back then)
Fabulous to watch you all in the caves with no fear. I wish you more memorable times ahead of you as life is for living and you are doing just that. Totally amazing footage. Thans for sharing this xxx
The wild thing to consider is the 1849 guy got that deep in the cave using a flame for light.
Alluvial 🔥
At 8:59 there’s more writing on the walls.

Could you imagine the gut it would take to go down there with nothing but an oil lamp.. you would have to be insanely mad.
Yo what history do you study :)
I think you mean in terms of geological time/history. A couple hundred years is a blink of the eye.
Yeah 1849 is literally history touching across time, which is really incredible that modern people can connect with someone who was there 174 years ago.
Oldest inscription i've ever found was from 1727. Gypsum cave in UK. Had some initials, but my memory is fuzzy. Southern part of the isle, tho i hear it has caved in since last i saw it, oh ... about 11 years ago, which is kind of shame, because i've seen many, many inscriptions, never one so old.

Reminded me of the Nutty Putty caver. 😖
I completely understand where you are coming from. When you get a chace, either youtube or google "Utah's Nutty Putty Cave".

Really makes you wonder what amazing things are out there that we still haven’t discovered.
There is a lot to be discovered for sure, and many places cant be reached as there are sacred such places in Africa for starters

YES, definitely something swimming. I thought I was only one who saw it
Nothing there
Thank goodness for adventurous young people, enjoyed your video. Stay Safe and have Fun.
The Strid. Look into it. The caving in this video reminded me why The Strid is so deadly. Please recognize that caving in water depths over 3 inches and running water is exceptionally dangerous. Your not wearing thermo gear, carrying life saving equipment and able to communicate with other team members outside. Water is not your friend in caving. Have fun, but know your risks.
Loved seeing that carving from 1849. Crazy to think that he saw what you saw hundreds of years ago, and it is relativley the exact same as what you are seeing. I think you should leave a time capsule in one of these. Have it sealed and prepared to last hundreds of years.
Do yall already know your location from above as you walk below ground via location tracker or are there known maps of the cave system? Just interested if you know where you’re at in relation to the surface once under the ceiling in the first large opening?
Almost any cave, big or small, long or short, is going to have been explored and mapped by a few cavers from the National Speliological Society. It may be just a hand drawn map, but it'll be accurate.
@@GoFigure1 but where is this???
Absolute mad lads and lass. Swimming them pools and feeling one pulling you in. That would be a big no go for me.
The only caves I've been into were over in Northern Ireland and was on the tour routes. We've got some impressive cave systems in the Yorkshire Dales, which I'm good enough just standing behind a fence to look down into pot holes and think you'd buzz to explore them. There's one cavern called Gaping Gill where people can be winched into through the waterfall that drops into it and is the largest in the UK.
Really
Awesome video☀
You guys have some nerve. It began with Enid Blyton's river of adventure and then suddenly transformed into what my worst nightmares are made up of. Kudos to you.
Amazing cave and river. So much clear clean water. Thanks guys, be safe.
3:29 that's the ceiling, fallen in one giant chunk. That must've made a loud thud in the ground. I remember stories about caves being found on farmer's fields after ground shakes, which turned out to be this, huge chunks of rock falling down.
This is a mythic level of adventure in mythic worlds! Underground rivers...right out of Greek mythology. Beautiful, mysterious places.
Now that was cool. Glad you guys made it back out safely.
Awww Hellz yeah!
You guys just took me back 37 years.
In my early 20s we were you! I was remembering so many caves while watching your vid.
Every weekend and holiday we were underground, sometimes 3 days at a go.
Glad to see you're keeping the passion alive.
I'd have killed for led lights back then, not necessarily a person, but i'd have defo killed a few pizza's 😂.
How do you guys remember your way back out? The further id go, the more id forget. Man yall are amazing! No fear just go! Thanks for showing us what most of us want to see but are afraid to take those type risks. Keep Searching✊🏾
That's exactly what I was thinking about. Don't forget you gotta go back.
Rewind the record?
Love your videos!! Keep them coming! Would be nice to drop a camera in that blue hole
That would be horrifying.
Great stuff. Respect.
Remember ego is not your amigo.
Listen to the voice that says “it’s time to stop”.
Aren’t you afraid of getting lost? Some sidewalk chalk or giant wax markers would be wise to mark the way you came in or fluorescent orange spray paint
The colour of those pools was incredible & thanks ActionAdventureTwins 😮👍
I found these TH-camrs about a week ago and I have already watched every one of your videos. I went to my first cave and I’m obsessed with them but I deafly can’t do the tight squeeze so please be safe out there. Thank you guys for the videos. And honestly they make me want to get out of my comfort zone to go do more things.❤❤
Casual caving is extremely dangerous. Go with experienced people during early exploration. It is so easy to quickly get lost in caves.
I was totally all like, "Yeah, that's one cave I'd actually go into...", right up until the tight-squeeze part. Nope nope nope.
I'd probably get stuck in there. Too much linguini...
Lol
Here, me too
Are there any small drones you could bring with you to squeeze past small spaces? I see a lot of these explorations end because the space becomes too tight. I always wonder what you would see if you drove a small corded drone deeper.
blades break easily against the rock
@@r_boto It doesn't have to be a stock quadcopter. The blades can be protected anyway if it was a quadcopter. The definition of drone that I'm using describes a remote-controlled autonomous vehicle.
@@nNicok In this kind of situation you're better off with an amphibian robot
The rock would most likely cut off the signal.
@@Ikigai1776- he said "corded".
You guys literally entered a healing cave. That running water sounds so beautiful and the sound the frequency in the air.❤
Wooooooow, this is a caver's dream! Well, a caver's who also happens to love water 😊 in Croatia taking off your helmet is a big no no, wearing a protective durable caving suit is a must. Was it cold? Did you get cave diver teams to explore the hole? Looks promising. Some cave divers in Croatia would absolutely love this.
My wife and I watch your adventures. Thank you for what you do! Be safe and go get em boys!
P.s. he ain't going slow cause he's crawling. He's going slow from dragging his huge juevos. 😂
Such a crazy coincidence, as soon as I started watching your videos I started having nightmares about suffocating in caves 👀
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video this is the first one I’ve ever seen! If you have others I will surely look for them but I have to say I was scared for those of you crawling out of such tight spaces!! I was scared that you might not make it out without someone getting injured!! Are you ever worried about the air your breathing may be toxic?? Do you carry any small portable oxygen or is that not an issue in the caves you search?? Well I was relieved to see you made it out safely!! I do wish you would have etched a name and the year on the cave wall like the person did back in 1849??
They are super lucky there wasn't a flash flood that trapped them deep insife the moutain. You can tell by the pot holes and other markings that most of that cave has been exposed to high levels of high pressure water.
Yes, but it could have been just at the time of Noah's flood which created it.
That's what I was thinking too!
@@oyenations162Looking at the water line on the walls it appears (to me anyway) the water level rises frequently. I could be wrong though.
I'm sure they look at weather report
@@dispatch444 you are correct
That 1849 thing was crazy!
Wow! Incredible place. Do you guys every worry about the air being harmful in some of those small squeeze passages?
What a cave that was ! I don't like a pool of water with a "hole" in it though. Scary Stuff. Great video as always.
I can't stop watching, the fear is ridiculous but the curiosity of what is underground is greater. Thank you, think I'll go watch a cartoon now 😂
Where is this cave? This may be the only one I’ve seen y’all explore that I’d be willing to visit.
I’ve been wanting to go to non tourist caves forever 🙏🏻 😩
Awesome dude, thanks for the upload :)
Where was this cave located? Great video. Keep it up!!🤙
would love to see some certified cave divers dive this. Would be one hell of a challenge
We are going back in 2 weeks with dive equipment, problem is that hole is a hour and a half into the cave so it's going to be a heck of a hike carring 70lbs.
@@funfinding4two955 how amazing would it be if it opened up to a huge underwater cave! Stick to the line like glue and be safe
@@funfinding4two955
@@funfinding4two955 did you go back and dive?
I have apparently arrived here after watching entirely too many videos about caving disasters so this has my anxiety all the way up, but this is absolutely amazing!
As an imaginative dark fantasy poet and someone who draws, I always find these caves, especially those with water, incredibly mystical. I'm surprised that fantasy creatures don't exist because these caves look so magical. Maybe not to you, but to me, they even appear colorful with unique and different shades. Imagine fairies and mermaids living in these caves if they were real, or discovering gemstones or diamonds. It would be incredible and even more magical. I wish I could experience what you guys do.
OVERALL? BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! THANK YOU!
FOUND AND FOLLOWED YOU OVER FROM FACEBOOK!
I love these cave videos because I would never ever do something like this 😂
I just realised... The carving is from 1849... The lightbulb was invented in 1879. Was he in the dark? Candlelit? Spooky.
Probably an oil lamp
They did explore with candles sometimes. Read a story about the candles going out... talk about a dark story!!
Carbide lamps from late 1800s
At 6:47 'looks like snow!'
'Yeah, would make sense because it's so cold in here!'
DUDE! NO! YOU'RE IN A CAVE! 😂
😅
I was thinking the same thing 😂
You make me sooooooooo nervous crawling those tight spaces!
This is really relaxing to watch. I bet I'd sleep really well in a cave. Thanks for the video.
The level of anxiety I felt watching that was off the charts, FF through the crawl space! 😳
5:00 It looks like a microbialite that's oxidizing Fe(2+) to Fe(3+) using atmospheric oxygen. I think you guys would be interested in learning about geobiology and biogeochemistry, especially if you are in university or are interested in a graduate degree.
This is my first time viewing your exploration and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you explore the cave and feeling really scared of something coming out and hurting you! You guys are way Brave! Thank you for putting up this video I have really enjoyed it, but where are you? Where is the cave?
Stop watching too much horror films the
So uhhhh…if the water starts flowing harder again like you said it was before, while you are inside….you’re dead. Right?
Correct. This is extremely stupid.
Where are these caves located at, state??
Goood luck getting an answer ! Gate keepers right heree
The level of anxiety I felt watching you crawl through that tight space was overwhelming. 😩😩😩
Yep was thinking what if it got so tight you couldn't go any more forward and then you had to do that crawl in reverse😳 panic would kill in that situation
18:41 you can see by the scratches in the mud someone was there before you since the last time that passage was washed with water
Or a rock or a tree limb.
@@boscoalbertbaracus1362 no. Look at the way there are curls of mud peeled up along the edges of the scratches. Sure, a rock or a limb _could_ do that, but not in a cave.
If you're saying water did that by pushing a rock or a limb, then you don't understand how water works. It would wash and smooth the scratches as they happened, those are clearly dry scratches, with dried peeled up edges.
If I went into any cave I would have to have it marked so I can find my way out just in case.
It's also good that you went in there as a group and not by yourself.
Hamer Cave at Spring Mill State Park in Mitchell, Indiana. Did you check out nearby Cave River Valley Nature Area? Many a years ago, I explored several caves on private property in Monroe, Owen, and Lawrence counties, but only a small handful of public ones in Washington County. Many are now locked by the local grotto club and kept for only themselves under the guise of protection and safety.
You guys should bring some glow sticks so ya can drop them down the deep holes with water and see how far they go. Amazing job you guys. Absolutely love watching!
Carry in, carry out. Suppose you could tie one to a line, though.
That'll work better!
Get a very long rope, and a heavy rock and start to lower it down and see how deep it goes and a gopro and a light attached. they used to this method centuries ago and a ship tried to do it over the Marianas trench and his biggest rope was 200ft I think.
Edit: they used this method but not with a gopro and a light, the way they measured it is if it hit the bottom they would use the wet part of the rope to measure how deep it is. (It's just my guess on how they did it back then)
@@ApokalyptikNMand alas, they called it…Mark! Twain! At least for river passage.
Thank you guys for posting about your adventures... there really fun to watch. 🩷😁
Ships 😊
Very good wet cave
You want to do it now ... no
Fabulous to watch you all in the caves with no fear. I wish you more memorable times ahead of you as life is for living and you are doing just that. Totally amazing footage. Thans for sharing this xxx
😢
Amazing! Getting trapped in a cave is scary as all get out! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
You guys ever consider panning the black sand that settles in the natural sluices?
Sure there is gold in there, alot!
Where is this cave located
now we're talkin!
Yoooo y’all should drop a depth gauge for every deep pool y’all discover and tell us how deep it is!!!
