Yes. We've found a few really nice big caves recently. So we submitted an article with photographs to the national caving magazine and got published. So this is now a nationally recognized find. Which is a pretty big deal for our little neck of the woods. It's a difficult cave to get into and dangerous to set up vertical lines. So I doubt it will get a lot of traffic currently. They'd have to be shown. In the future, we may be able to open up the entrance a bit more and then you will have plenty of takers since the vertical is so great. That's the real draw here is a cave where rope is required. Besides the fact that it's also an interesting and pretty cave
Amazing! When I find a terrifying, creepy place, I tend to stay away. I can’t believe how some people will attach ropes and drop backwards into it. I’m glad people like you exist, so people like me can watch the video!!
@@tagunprice9762We just gotta sign you up …as soon as you complete your 26 yrs of training. JK. It only takes a few yrs to get as crazy as we are. Thanks for watching and commenting.
The work you put in, editing/narrating and camera placement, is absolutely amazing. Always enjoy your work. Thanks for working hard for our enjoyment. Hopefully, it's as rewarding for you, as it is for me, the viewer
Amazing..i believe this is the 1st video ive ever heard you say "im scared" and ive watched them all lol def the miat excited ive heard you as well love it and without you most of us would never see anything like this thank you 🙏
Yeah it was pretty terrifying. The only way to even see the pit required us to be in a really dangerous position. It took us a few weeks to get our gear and get back in and make a plan on how to get down. The whole thing was fairly dangerous. But we solved most of the problems and ended up having a great time.
Hopefully you guys got some good mapping done and spread that valuable intel with other potential cavers! Glad to see you guys having fun, although I wouldn’t recommend you singing alto anytime soon!
@@CalvinHikesI love that you as an expert caver let everyone know the planning you have done to go back into the cave and are not just careless when finding something like this and just going for it like many cave videos I have seen and people get hurt or sadly pass away all for a video or for ego!!
Probably the best video I've ever seen on RUclips. It's literally my dream to discover a place like this that no one has ever seen before. Absolutely amazing.
If that isn't named, "the 6 inches room"... you've failed. Lmao. His childlike giggles made my dad-sense tingle. That was pure joy. Anthing besides, "not filling it with that" sinkhole, dropping into the "because it's cold" passage, that leads to, "the 6 inches room" is unacceptable.
“Jabob” I love that. 😂 And in their thirst for discovery, they delved too deep. And something that had slumbered in the dark for centuries was awoken… That is a spectacular and awe inspiring discovery. Wow… And so colorful. The simple fact that nature creates things like this…it’s hard to find the words. Always finds a way to impress even more.
Definitely the coolest cave I’ve seen you guys find yet and I’ve watched every video on both channels! It’s crazy still seeing Jacob grown when seems like yesterday he was the young 10 year old boy fitting through 8” holes
Have not caught one of your vids in a long time. Saw this pop up in my feed n clicked so fast, even though youd never get me down there bro lol. But i appreciate you guys taking us with you.. hopefully you're gonna be back in my YT feeds now more ofter again
The early cave dwellers who created the cave drawings at 13.39 must have climbed into the abyss on vines with only flaming torches to guide their way. Amazing.
This one was incredible to watch calvin & jacob 👍🤯 What an intense privilege it must be to walk where no human has before... It looked like Mars man. I've had to have a glass of wine as this one freaked me out 😳😂🍷 You guys are brilliant. from stu in england.
I can't even imagine this. The colors in real life must be vibrant.. Thank you for sharing!! You people are a rare breed.. and its a good one for sure. Congratulations on your bravery in exploring the under world most will never ever see.
Absolutly stunning. I dont do caving but diving and intense swimming sessions. In rhodes/ greece the water flow catched me badly not being able to return to the beach for nearly two hours till i got exhausted to the max. That was a time i got to relax in order to survive.
The anount of times these guys go into places that i adamantly say HELL NO is amazing. Love to watch you guys! I feel the sense of adventure and im not even there!
I never thought you'd get the magical result like this. But you did. It shows how passion and not giving up can get you there in the end. Congratulations ! Brave and wild. 10/10
It was generally thought that most of the big caves we're already found in our area many years ago. But the last couple of years we have been popping into monsters left and right. This was probably the most unique find, and we were extremely happy. Finding vertical cave is just astounding.
Incredible video! Just saw Magnus Mitdbo went caving and as soon as he said 'we couldnt find a guide so we just went anyway'. I was out. Came straight over here to see if youd uploaded and im absolutly mesmorised by this cave!!
7:50 Bruh I was happy with THAT as a video… just seeing & knowing that hole exists. Now I get to see you crazy souls go DOWN the hole 😮 OMG this gone be sick
Wooow…this was unbelievable!!!! I kept holding my breath and trying to slow down my heartbeat at the same time the entire time! Best trip ever… so good!!!
That takes a lot of mental to explore a new place under the earth where lava flower once in time.. especially with all that cave in. Always stay safe yall
I always respect cavers for they are doing unthinkable things that I would never ever do even in a dream. It requires such bravery and courage to enter into deeper parts of caves, navigating through tight holes, repalling down the unknown depths, come back alive. My salutes to these daredevils. Because of them, people like me could have a look into it, sitting in the comforts of my home.
I'm trying to imagine the awe of just going around lava tubes expecting at most a modestly large room and you poke your head into pitch blackness as far as you can see. Maybe I can see the thrill of exploring unknown caves now :p
Cave hiking is scary indeed but this line from the Lost City of Z somehow summarizes your experience and I absolutely respect that: "So Much Of Life Is A Mystery, My Boy. We Know So Little Of This World. But You And I Have Made A Journey That Other Men Cannot Even Imagine. And This Has Given Understanding To Our Hearts."
You should get a tiny drone or RC car with a camera or something like that to explore tight places to see if they're worth climbing into, or to see what's beyond where it's possible for a person to go. Another thought is a cheap endoscope, they have ones for $30 in Amazon where it's just a tiny camera with a light on a 15 foot thin cord, it plugs into your smartphone and just works as if your phone has a third camera.
My favorite cavers of all time! Also wanted to add, I love how the subtitles in the beginning translate 'Cave Tour Guide' to "Cave Tour God'. WHERE ARE YOU GOD OF CAVING!?
I'm terrified of close in spaces, and watching you folks twist through the areas makes me have concerns for you guys. I have no idea how you folks can do this.
Wow this made my evening ❤❤❤ so amazing you guys and gals have some impressive skills and because of that we were able to see something amazing so thank you
Well. I used to recoil at various cave exploration videos on RUclips. But your editing and explanations make them much easier to watch. Daresay I find myself slightly interested in doing an exploration. Only with a proper guide of course. And maybe if I lose about 50 pounds 😅
It's huuuuuge! Dropping into that unknown dark is real adventuring. You never know what you will find. The colours and formations down there are incredible.
The real danger here was the transition at the top of the. There's not much video of it because there's no space. It goes from crack to edge quite quickly. It took us a few weeks to sort out how to get down in there.
The start of this cave is beautiful and you can walk right in for some distance. That's as far as anyone ever got until we weased our way through the bottom.
Just came across your channel and I'm amazed at what you and the team do. I look forward to seeing and learning more through your videos. So many questions running through my mind, like how do you even breathe in these deep passages? What is the air quality like?
Welcome to the dark frontier. We do answer some questions. The air is fine. People ask a lot so I assume there's some myth about bad oxygen underground or something. In real life, the oxygen is completely normal in a cave. *Just cold
That lava rock must be an absolute nightmare when it comes into contact with your vertical rope... Very cool lava tube. They say some of the vertical lava tubes on Reunion Island are over 1000 feet deep. Great video.

What an amazing find. Is this a big deal in the caving community as a whole? Do you think other cavers will travel there just to see it?
Yes. We've found a few really nice big caves recently. So we submitted an article with photographs to the national caving magazine and got published. So this is now a nationally recognized find.
Which is a pretty big deal for our little neck of the woods.
It's a difficult cave to get into and dangerous to set up vertical lines. So I doubt it will get a lot of traffic currently. They'd have to be shown.

Thanks, I'm genuinely happy for you.
@@CalvinHikes congratulations 🥳
They travel to do Hell Hole.
How far down was the drop in actuality @@CalvinHikes
this is in my bucket list of never to do :)
Well it was on my bucket list to never scream like a girl, but here we are.
The thrill of risking ur life in there is totally worth dying for
Discovering the unknown beyond our wildest imaginations. Marking the territory soon to become history
Yep up there with mountain climbing and cave diving 👍
We all have a bucket list...and a list that rhymes with it, but starts with a F !
My favorite part is watching this from my couch.
Our the bed kkk😅
Even then I’m having a hard time watching. I’m wearing a hoodie and wanting to take it off because it suddenly feels confining. Lol.
Amazing! When I find a terrifying, creepy place, I tend to stay away. I can’t believe how some people will attach ropes and drop backwards into it. I’m glad people like you exist, so people like me can watch the video!!
Making the video is much more time consuming that exploring the cave, but glad you enjoy it.
God I wish I was there with them so bad

Congratulations! This is an amazing discovery. The coloration of the rocks is gorgeous! Very proud of you all.
Thank you!
@@CalvinHikes I imagine the color comes from iron bearing minerals in the lava flow like hematite.
Hilarious when the youngsters saw the “phallic” shaped rock on the ceiling and let out a laugh😂!
Haha. The realization and giggle. I’m 38 and my reaction was the same 🤷🏻♂️
59 here and same thing happened here 😂
I am such a loser. 😢 I didn't notices it. Now I am looking for it 😅 33yo
Beevis and butthead....heh heh heh...hah
That new cave looks like it's straight out of a fantasy novel! It is so vibrant, I hope you guys find more like it in those unexplored areas.
You’re right. Nothing prepared us for this beast!
Those colors on the walls are just mesmerizing, amazing video!!!
One of the most incredible things I've ever watched, and ever watched you do. Congratulations! And thank you for sharing.
This one is mind boggling!!
@@billsanders9387 Definitely!
Probably the best video I've ever seen on RUclips. It's literally my dream to discover a place like this that no one has ever seen before. Absolutely amazing.
Wow, thank you. We were obviously excited.
God damn all of you!!! I always told myself you guys are crazy exploring down there and now I find myself envious.
If that isn't named, "the 6 inches room"... you've failed. Lmao. His childlike giggles made my dad-sense tingle. That was pure joy.
Anthing besides, "not filling it with that" sinkhole, dropping into the "because it's cold" passage, that leads to, "the 6 inches room" is unacceptable.
We fail on occasion to portray the sheer joy of what we do. This one, however, plays out well.
“Jabob”
I love that. 😂
And in their thirst for discovery, they delved too deep. And something that had slumbered in the dark for centuries was awoken…
That is a spectacular and awe inspiring discovery. Wow… And so colorful. The simple fact that nature creates things like this…it’s hard to find the words. Always finds a way to impress even more.
Wow that’s wild that little opening you overlooked turned into this! Amazing!
Yeah, that's why it's good to have more than one person scouring out a cave to make sure we hit all the passages.
Fresh eyes and fresh ambition.
Definitely the coolest cave I’ve seen you guys find yet and I’ve watched every video on both channels! It’s crazy still seeing Jacob grown when seems like yesterday he was the young 10 year old boy fitting through 8” holes
You are spot on. It blew our minds…after the six trips hiking up the mountain to chip away at the entrance. The reward was worth it!
@ I’m sure that way lots of work and well worth it!
Wow that is absolutely beautiful and amazing to think about no one ever being in that giant hole . Awesome discovery and congratulations !
We’re heading back soon to continue the discovery. This cave system is massive.
@billsanders9387 that's going to be awesome . Cant wait to check it out. Look forward to it.
Have not caught one of your vids in a long time. Saw this pop up in my feed n clicked so fast, even though youd never get me down there bro lol. But i appreciate you guys taking us with you.. hopefully you're gonna be back in my YT feeds now more ofter again
We cave plenty. Editing a video is so time consuming! Stay tuned.
Im so glad i found this video! I almost felt like i was there with you all and i felt your excitement! Absolutely amazing find!! New sub here ✌️
Wow thank you for the kind words. We're just down here havin a good time.
What you guys do deserves so much more attention and praise. Amazing find, thanks for bringing us along as we sat safely on our couches 😂
We love to explore the unknown, and our remote part of the country begs to be discovered. Game on!
2:38 holy hell, i was getting used to watching your videos, but damn that's scary small cave.
That's making me panic only watching it.
This one is still amazing us!
The early cave dwellers who created the cave drawings at 13.39 must have climbed into the abyss on vines with only flaming torches to guide their way. Amazing.
They missed this one.
You know it’s just residue from some form of moisture right?
Thats a huge room! Youre the first people in there. What a discovery
No need for the warning brother aint no way Im entering a cave
this is crazy, the most insane straight hole in a cave I've seen in a while
We agree. This cave is very unique.
Just awesome!!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
It’s been crazy basically watching Jacob grow into a young man dudes got some balls that’s for sure I could never do this stuff.
He is now a college freshman and a great leader.
You all are pioneering new caves....this is breathtaking, mindblowing...!
There is a whole world beneath our feet. Thanks for showing it to us.
Mind-altering forsure! Thanks for taking us on a journey with you guys!
Missed your videos !!!! It’s cool to look back and watch Jacob grow up . Congrats good job uncle
This one was incredible to watch calvin & jacob 👍🤯 What an intense privilege it must be to walk where no human has before... It looked like Mars man. I've had to have a glass of wine as this one freaked me out 😳😂🍷
You guys are brilliant. from stu in england.
Cheers to you, bro! This cave is beyond our ability to describe. Finding it was really a miracle.
One of my biggest dreams is to never do this
We need an army of dwarves and a few wizards for this cave
This WAS my army of dwarves! I was the "big guy."
@@CalvinHikeswise wizard guiding a bunch of stubborn dwarves 😂
This is unnerving. Un believable. Amazing. Uncomprehend able to discover something that colossal on camera.
And to realize it had never before been seen! Interesting, there was an earthquake near this cave this week. We love the risk!
I can't even imagine this. The colors in real life must be vibrant.. Thank you for sharing!! You people are a rare breed.. and its a good one for sure. Congratulations on your bravery in exploring the under world most will never ever see.
This cave is a once in a lifetime discovery!
Absolutly stunning. I dont do caving but diving and intense swimming sessions. In rhodes/ greece the water flow catched me badly not being able to return to the beach for nearly two hours till i got exhausted to the max. That was a time i got to relax in order to survive.
Good to know you are safe. Visited Greece back a couple decades ago. Awesome people!
@billsanders9387 thanks. Yes they are. Come to my home Austria one time. Plenty of mountains :)
The cave is beautiful. I have been binge watching these cave expeditions and this one is the best by far.
Thank you, yes, we thought it was exceptional. Obviously, you can hear that we are very excited!
The anount of times these guys go into places that i adamantly say HELL NO is amazing. Love to watch you guys! I feel the sense of adventure and im not even there!
We try not to go deep enough to feel the heat. Thanks for watching.
Dang! Y'all had me worried the whole video. 😮
Stay safe and have fun. ❤
Wow incredible find!! Great work.
Loved hearing how excited y’all were
Congratulation to your discovery. Amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Y’all are truly blessed to get to see these beautiful caves!

But the last couple of years we have been popping into monsters left and right. This was probably the most unique find, and we were extremely happy. Finding vertical cave is just astounding.
ok youtube, guess i'm looking at cave exploration this month
Just amazing, can’t wait to see what you find next
Incredible video! Just saw Magnus Mitdbo went caving and as soon as he said 'we couldnt find a guide so we just went anyway'. I was out. Came straight over here to see if youd uploaded and im absolutly mesmorised by this cave!!
I saw that he blurred out stickers we put on the entrance. He literally went to the trouble to blurr them out.
Wow combining my claustrophobia with my fear of heights. I wouldn't go in there if I was paid a billion dollars. But I respect what you do!
When I tell you my heart was racing through this video. Wow!!! What an adrenaline rush. This was incredible 😮
Amazin!
7:50 Bruh I was happy with THAT as a video… just seeing & knowing that hole exists. Now I get to see you crazy souls go DOWN the hole 😮 OMG this gone be sick
The discovery of such a cave was beyond imagination!
Wooow…this was unbelievable!!!! I kept holding my breath and trying to slow down my heartbeat at the same time the entire time! Best trip ever… so good!!!
It is really an incredible discovery!!
Great content and not overpowered with crazy yelling and music! Thank you I just subbed to your channel, sir. 😍😍
Ha! Thanks. Welcome to the dark frontier.

That's a less edited version of discovering the pit. You can see reactions from Lily and Finley.
Wow them colours were amazing. Thanks for doing what you do so people like me can sit in our nice warm house and get to see this great stuff.
Glad you enjoy the action!
My dad had a piece of petrified wood with those exact colors. Awesome find.
An incredible discovery by this adventurous team of cave-trolling enthusiasts! Simply wonderful and exhausting! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
The vibrant colors? Fumorole activity?
Maybe a direct vent to the magma chamber. This video shall be included in my rotation of favorites.
Great comment even if a bit verbose. Enjoy the adventures!
This is what makes humans amazing. The thirst for discovery.
Correct and thank you.
That takes a lot of mental to explore a new place under the earth where lava flower once in time.. especially with all that cave in. Always stay safe yall
Horrors beyond your comprehension awaits.
It was beyond ours too. The remoteness of the area left no room for error!

I would say it's a once in a lifetime find, but, we keep finding big stuff lately. We don't know what to do with ourselves.
Wow! The colors are amazing. Congrats!!!
Wow! What a gorgeous find!! Congrats on being the 1st to see it!! ❤
Wow!!!!! Fantastic. Beautiful. Adventure and exploration at its finest.
Thanks much. This one begs for more explanation.
Cave hiking is scary indeed but this line from the Lost City of Z somehow summarizes your experience and I absolutely respect that:
"So Much Of Life Is A Mystery, My Boy.
We Know So Little Of This World.
But You And I Have Made A Journey
That Other Men Cannot Even Imagine.
And This Has Given Understanding To Our Hearts."
Awesome analysis of what we love doing!
Crazy find! Stay safe. Love the videos!
Stay what?? 😳
Congratulations brother, you guys deserve it, what a discovery
Thanks much! This will take awhile to fully explore.
You should get a tiny drone or RC car with a camera or something like that to explore tight places to see if they're worth climbing into, or to see what's beyond where it's possible for a person to go. Another thought is a cheap endoscope, they have ones for $30 in Amazon where it's just a tiny camera with a light on a 15 foot thin cord, it plugs into your smartphone and just works as if your phone has a third camera.
That was a huge drop. Quite an amazing cave hike there. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
And to you too. God is soooo good!
@billsanders9387 Yes Sir!!
My favorite cavers of all time! Also wanted to add, I love how the subtitles in the beginning translate 'Cave Tour Guide' to "Cave Tour God'. WHERE ARE YOU GOD OF CAVING!?
That's fantastic. Maybe I will change and actually say cave tour god in the future.
@@CalvinHikes DOO ITTT lol
Congratulations on the great discovery !
Thanks much!
Cavers are a different breed
In new anthropology, they consider us the missing link.
Is anyone else in here forgetting to breathe and then gasping for air?
Woah super happy to see another upload! ❤😊👍
We were super happy to discover a whole new system. It’s a bit scary.
I'm terrified of close in spaces, and watching you folks twist through the areas makes me have concerns for you guys. I have no idea how you folks can do this.
13:38 almost looks like cave art of man roping a sheep or goat.
Amazing discovery! That has to be a record. Congratulations
It stands as the deepest vertical drop in our area, at the least. Lava tubes don't normally produce much vertical, so this is a real anomaly.
I'm glad you keep posting so that tells me you all are still alive lmao
The next video may question the “alive” bit.
Oh man that's awesome, i used to so claustrophobic but after watching almost all of your video, I've somewhat overcame my fear. :) good job.
Always a pleasure to watch
Wow this made my evening ❤❤❤ so amazing you guys and gals have some impressive skills and because of that we were able to see something amazing so thank you
Never before entered, and it blew our minds!
Well. I used to recoil at various cave exploration videos on RUclips. But your editing and explanations make them much easier to watch. Daresay I find myself slightly interested in doing an exploration. Only with a proper guide of course. And maybe if I lose about 50 pounds 😅
A couple of our caves will scrape off that much weight! 🤪
The man piece on the ceiling. Officially named 6” haha. I was in awe at the colors of that cave.
It's the getting out I'd be worried about.
You must have been dependent on ropes before?
Fantastic discovery! Loved the trip inside! Thank you for sharing.
Just found your channel and I'm terrified watching these vids 😅 yet I'm very fascinated!
Welcome to the dark frontier.
Very cool man. I love being out in the mountains just not under them.
Fair enough
Those mineral colored rocks are probably packed full of gold in masses
That may not make it on video. 🤪
It's huuuuuge! Dropping into that unknown dark is real adventuring. You never know what you will find. The colours and formations down there are incredible.
The real danger here was the transition at the top of the. There's not much video of it because there's no space. It goes from crack to edge quite quickly. It took us a few weeks to sort out how to get down in there.
Congrats on an awesome find! Those colors are incredible. I'd love to hear a geologist's take on them.
That would be incredible. We have college degrees, but are more inclined towards knowing the Great Creator.
I've always had a desire to walk into a cave. And I mean walk, and not drag my body through jagged rocks to see more jagged rocks.
The start of this cave is beautiful and you can walk right in for some distance. That's as far as anyone ever got until we weased our way through the bottom.
Just came across your channel and I'm amazed at what you and the team do. I look forward to seeing and learning more through your videos. So many questions running through my mind, like how do you even breathe in these deep passages? What is the air quality like?
Welcome to the dark frontier.
We do answer some questions.
The air is fine.
People ask a lot so I assume there's some myth about bad oxygen underground or something. In real life, the oxygen is completely normal in a cave. *Just cold
Yes I,m getting the uploads again .
Welcome to Jacob's Drop into the Jackalobe Gallery!
Vote that we should call this cave this cave is now known as 6 inches.
That lava rock must be an absolute nightmare when it comes into contact with your vertical rope... Very cool lava tube. They say some of the vertical lava tubes on Reunion Island are over 1000 feet deep. Great video.
Yeah, there's a limited amount of times we can use our gear before we have to replace it.
What a great find 🎉! Thanks a lot
