What about a cave with a greased up saxophone player whose only motivation in life is to find out how much punishment your ears can handle before you voluntarily impale yourself on a stalagmite?
Exactly! Hell, I'd love to learn how to scuba-dive, but not to enter such places! Hell, I'd probably give even shipwrecks a wide berth! Being trapped somewhere to either drown, suffocate or otherwise die of starvation or what have you is really frightening! ps: If you want to see the internals of a shipwreck? Use a an unmaned underwater drone :(
I actually became a bit angry at John when I read his gravestone that said he was a beloved father, husband and son. He knowingly put himself in mortal danger, while he knew just how much devastation his death would cause. Hope his children are doing fine.
I genuinely recommend you get therapy to get rid of your claustrophobia before doing it. If you suddenly get a panic attack in the wrong place, it could end badly. I don't want to put you off from following your dreams, not by a long shot, I just want you to have the best chance of success! Good luck and do follow your dreams. Just to show how the brain can mess you up. I was always more afraid of crowds than enclosed spaces - in fact I quite enjoyed being locked away from the rest of the world. Then I had - at my request - a full spinal MRI scan. I'd had others for smaller areas and just wanted to see if there was something that could be seen running through it. They're never great - especially as it is so noisy (at least that one is!) It took not much less than an hour and in that time, I developed crippling claustrophobia. So I hope you understand why I'm being serious about your own comfort!
Yes they are pretty darn cold where I live we get -40 Celsius with the average of at least -30 c over the winter months. I'm from where it's considered the northern part of the province
Being trapped and dying in a small confined space underground seems the most horrifying to me.😒 I'll settle for a nice safe guided tour of some safer crystal caves minus any deathtraps.
The tragic story of the caver getting trapped, echoes of a similar incident here in the UK, back in the late 50s. A young man did something similar, and tragically, suffered the same fate.
Gypsum is used to make sheetrock. It's also cool if you hold light directly to it, it glows. If they could control the conditions in the crystal cave they could make a fortune as a tourist attraction, with pretty lights and the works.
These were absolutely fascinating and some were incredibly gorgeous 🌟 The Glass Factory cave was beyond astounding 😍😮😍 I'd love to see the crystal caves but not those tiny claustrophobic death trap caves! Saw the beautiful Blue John Caverns when I lived in Derbyshire, the Blue John stone is only found in one location in the entire world, now that's also astounding 😮 This entire video was absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for creating this 💖
Yeah, ya know,....I've seen a documentary about this place. It's in Mexico and it's so hot that the scientists that go in there have to wear a heat resistant suit and are only allowed no more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid death.
It's fun when the cave has añ air flow . Not all caves are narrow claustrophobic spaces , many can be walked upright in , or rafted thru . Have Fun , be careful
@20:40 I went spelunking like this in Poland. It was exactly like this video clip where at multiple points you had to slither through little holes 10 feet or so across. 10 feet may not sound so bad, but the sections curved around so it felt like you were a worm entombed in rock. I got stuck in one of those sections but thankfully my best friend was behind me and managed to grab my legs and pull me out. I've never been claustrophobic but I came within inches of full blown panic in that hole. I have no way of describing what it was like, but I'll just say that to this day decades later I avoid thinking about it. The guide tried to convince me to try again but I was hard nope at that point, so he and the rest of the group came back through and we took an alternate route over this chasm whose depths disappeared into the darkness. It was about 4 feet wide and to get from one ledge to the other, about 20 feet, you had to brace your back against one wall and your feet against the other and then crab walk across. I asked the guide what would happen if I slipped and I will never forget the tone of alarm in his broken English: "Oh, don't slip." There were more experienced spelunkers in the group we struck up a conversation with who told us they liked to go underwater spelunking, which is close to the same thing but in SCUBA gear. The thing is, those underwater caves are often little rivers running underground, and occasionally the cave will narrow from, say, 20 feet wide to 3 feet wide. That means the water pressure suddenly spikes up as all the water tries to escape through that narrow gap and a diver can get jammed up into a gap too narrow to squeeze through and if that happens: it's been nice knowing you. You'll get stopped up like a cork in a bottle until you suffocate with no way for anyone to help you. Spelunkers attach guide ropes as they explore caves for this reason, but for a variety of reasons that won't always save you. I remember them telling us that at that time, this was back in the 90's, the "sport" had something like a 10% mortality rate. I cannot conceive of being the kind of person who would think of that as fun.
I'm from Kenya but I've never been to Kitum and I don't even plan to. You know a place is dangerous if the locals don't explore it. Ahsante sana for the great video tho'
I actually went to Seattle with my family and we actually saw Mount Rainier! Fun fact you can only see Mount Rainer 90 days a year due to the weather, there are 365 days in a year so it is rare to see
"All it takes is 5 hydrogen sulfide particles per million (PPM) to lead to severe nausea and breathing problems... yet the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in Cueva De Villa Luz can often reach 210 PPM! At these levels, explorers can expect severe conjunctivitis, irritation to their respiratory tract, as well as pulmonary edema -- a fatal buildup a fluid in the lungs. Meanwhile, here's a bunch of photos of people swimming around in there... as well as a group of 'Zoque people' wearing silly hats, carrying baskets of candles while throwing awkward fish-murder celebrations in there without a care in the world."
Also the smallest hole i went through was just barely wide enough for me to get my shoulders through. I had to take off my backpack and drag it through because the ceiling of the cave was literally digging into my back when i went through the hole. It is not that bad. It is a ton of fun gives you a tush of adrenaline.
I live in Utah and as boy scouts we were supposed to go into nutty putty cave, luckily it rained too much so we weren't able to go in, I didn't want to go anyway! I still remember watching the news about John Jones, so sad!
The technical definition of hypothermia is anything below about 96 degrees Fahrenheit for a body temperature. However the actual effects of hypothermia are not felt until about 88 degrees. And I've seen people functioning at below that. As for heat, I have personally worked, for 10 minutes at a time at 225 degrees measured 3 ft from the oven I was working on when it was active. Better went off scale High when you went up against it which is what we were doing was putting in insulation on it. We finally got ahold of some ice mess and could work for half an hour at a time and that heat. And we weren't drowning in our own condensation in our lungs. Even though the humidity was 90% or better. So you may sound intelligent, but I happen to know that your observations of at least two of these cave systems, are far easier to survive than what you seem to believe. Third degree burns at 140 degrees. Yes you can get burned in 140 degree water. But it isn't third-degree. That requires a temperature of about 160 degrees or better. Matter fact the only person I know that has what is rated at third degree burn from liquid, the liquid was 205 degrees.
You forgot probably a bunch but one in particular I have actually been inside of us Spider cave. It does not have actual spiders it is named that because of all the branches of tunnels that can easily get you lost. You actually need a key to get into spider cave and as my adopted dad was part of a caving committee he got the key. That's how I got to go inside a cave where many people have never been
i have heard about the nutty putty cave with john jones very sad but the other caves are very interresting good job and keep it up with the amazing videos
The only thing scarier than a cave is an underwater cave. It gives me chills just to think about being trapped in one.
as claustrophobic person, i couldn't agree more
Well, my fear is how come be amazed posted this video 2 days ago and has SO MUCH COMMENTS?! - daughter of Jennlyn

Dieing upside down in a constricting cave with no light! 😱 I'm doing all the exploration I need right here on TH-cam! 😅
Despite being claustrophobic I've always wanted to go spelunking
Isn’t that supposed to be the other way around lol

These caves are a really cold -9 degrees. **Laughs in Canadian** Soo shorts weather?😂

90% of these dudes push it till they die, must be epic in yheir
Gypsum is used to make sheetrock. It's also cool if you hold light directly to it, it glows.
If they could control the conditions in the crystal cave they could make a fortune as a tourist attraction, with pretty lights and the works.
It's also used in brewing to increase the hardness of water, or lower the ph, depending on what you're going for.
These crystals are BEAUTIFUL!
agreed
The amount of clusterphobia I felt just from watching this video is immense 😬
Oh I know!! Between these and watching videos, showing extreme heights I am surprised my heart hasn't given out!! 🤪
As someone who has gone to the Bahamas I can say that the beaches are way better than risking your life just to see a cool rock formation
Whoa 🤯 the shaft of those cafes that were mentioned look astoundingly dangerous but beautiful!
Cafe eh...ok
I love this video, i love crystals
My day is never complete without you, Be Amazed! Thank you for the ever wonderful content! ❤❤❤
That's enough crystal to keep me up for years 🥴
Mate that'll keep us going for 10 years
Jokes chill but I know what you mean
So cool it keeps you awake
We all need a daily dose of be amazed❤😊
i cannot understand cavers at all like why would you risk getting stuck far underground
Well, i think they are cool, and they give you the adventure feeling.
I wouldn't go in there myself. But I can understand the thrill of exploring the unknown 🤔 But yah, "curiousity killed the cat" and all 😮

...OH my GOOOOOD.... ♥♥♥
Why you wrote it soooooooo long. times running out we only have about 4billion more years left 😂😂
I watched this before and it is amazing!
Let's go be amazed 😅🎉🎉 1:02
Never understood why people would literally want to be 'between a rock and a hard place'. 😢
It is not that bad actually. Caving or Spelunking is actually quite fun
This is amazing, never seen a Chrystal this huge,
Imagine the first spelunkers in the Kitum Cave discovering that there were elephants also spelunking with them, 'WTF!'.
If I can’t stand up with plenty of space above my head I’m not going.
Yeah, ya know,....I've seen a documentary about this place. It's in Mexico and it's so hot that the scientists that go in there have to wear a heat resistant suit and are only allowed no more than 20 minutes at a time to avoid death.
I wasn't be able to go under a bed to play hide and seeck when I was little, there is no chance I put a foot in this caves 😮😮😮
It's fun when the cave has añ air flow .
Not all caves are narrow claustrophobic spaces , many can be walked upright in , or rafted thru .
Have Fun , be careful
True
Very true. Caving is a ton of fun just know what you are doing
I'm so claustrophobic I couldn't even finish watching this. It's a big, huge nope for me!
I love the background music!🎵🎶🥰💖
For some of these caves, just put some Minecraft ladders in there and you'll be fine. Because you can go up and down the ladders with out any issues.
Love your video Be Amazed

None of these caves scared me because I will NEVER go into one of them. Not me, nope. Great video, by the way!
Dang! Those sound dangerous!
I actually went to Seattle with my family and we actually saw Mount Rainier! Fun fact you can only see Mount Rainer 90 days a year due to the weather, there are 365 days in a year so it is rare to see
these caves are soooooo pretty 😍i would love to vist all of them but... they are dangerous 😳
Just have to be careful. I have visited many extremely dangerous caves and I am just fine
I'm too big of a coward to go inside that type of caves. Luckily I have Be Amazed to show me what I'm missing out on 😊
I've watched enough MrBallen to know that:
Caves = death
Diving = death
Caves + diving = certain doooom!
😂😂😂👍 It makes me wanna go there 😅
It is not that bad. I have been caving it seems scary but it is not
2:57 yep thats the most most creative name ive ever heard
There's no way to get out of the cave!! Crazy people!! 💀💀😳😳😮😔
I like your old entry music better but the new one is ok. Your videos are so great and educational half of my knowledge comes from you!
Just found this page, love all the info! But I also REALLY love the graphics 😀 they’re so fun!
Thanks for another cool video.
those small places people get into no way would i do that give incredible anxiety 😂
Now neuiii
"We humans have been obsessed with crystals for as long as we can remember"
Yeah and making them too🔵
Claustrophobia and ANXIETY !😱😵💫😳😲. I'll wait near the entrance 🥵
Wow it's only been 17 mins and you(be amazed already have 2.5k views!! 🎉
You are the best ❤
Nutty putty has a real traumatic story!!! That’s the worst story I’ve ever heard about caves!
Be amazed 👏 thank you for all the great videos 📹 this one I have to watch it 2 times some deadly places.
Those caves are amazing❤
Please make a part two to this.
You are absolutely amazing and talented 🎉🎉🎉😂
And his voice sounds great!!!
@@manueltapia1859 yes
I watch these videos for one reason... To see which new words he's made up this time!! And I am NEVER disappointed!!!
i had a nightmare last night of being in an underwater cave geez it was horrible
Delirium…. Cat playing fiddle and an elephant in an underwater cave. That made me 😂
Imagine just walking in your field, and suddenly you fall into an underwater lake😢
One of these days, I really want to visit Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. It's one of the largest cave systems, if not the largest, in the US, IIRC.
18:16 "It's under water."
the cat staring at you from the abyss:
22:50 the words "little" "river" and "cave" never belong together in a sentence that's terrifying

Just visit the ice caves in the winter time with lots of warm clothing.
Shrooms or LSD inside that colorful cave ceiling would be quite awesome 6:17
The music for this video is perfect 👍
for some reason i feel like you need to make a playlist of your backround songs
Yay! ❤ This channel!
9:56 im from iceland and laught for like 15 minutes just because of the way he pronounced it 🤣🤣🤣
I’m never going to Spelunking just the idea of getting stuck in the middle of a small cave without food,water, or air is scary
Love the ice caves!!!! Beautiful place to visit in the spring. But yeah very very cold
I have more likes ( i liked my own comment).

Would going through the Paris Catacombs count as spelunking?

Best ever❤❤❤❤
I get lost in caves in video games. No way in hell am I entering a cave irl. The risks are not worth the reward imo.
Spelunking is such a funny word
Take some precautions before you venture into any cave exploring
Finally Kenya is mentioned in his videos. ❤
Nutty Putty is a hilarious name for a cave! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I love your vids BE AMAZED. But would you pls make vids about Jamaica I would love that☺☺
18:23 that a giant cat in the water?
What music did you used it perfectly matches because it feels that your in a cave

i have heard about the nutty putty cave with john jones very sad but the other caves are very interresting good job and keep it up with the amazing videos
Recently I've heard the story too and it's just terrible and terrifying for me as a person who is afraid of closed spaces.
so the cave of crystals is very humid and hot place?
in finland its called sauna
Imagine drowning without even being in water
I just got the notification
😮 AMAZING 😮
When you are early but don't know what to comment
Nutty putty cave and that story always haunts me x_x aaa
Also great vid!
