- When a cave tube becomes extremely restrictive, one cannot navigate side to side... or sometime even backing up. You must proceed forward, when going back is no longer an option.

Did you just schooled us about important life choices while casually crawling to an endless underground maze alone ? xD
That’s what I get out of every video 💕
Beast Mode: off [ON ]
lol he did!
Him did
He’s awesome!!!
I love the little speeches you give while being deep inside a dark, moist and tight space. Your content is going to blow up even more in 2021, mark my words.
Thanks. I run my mouth to distract me from that which I am afraid of.
Okay that's kind of creepy
100% he reaches 100k this year. Consistency!!!
His wife said the exact same thing!
@@CalvinHikes what a great tool a humans mind is..
came for the caving, stayed for the life advice.
Glad we didn't scare you away with our rambling! Sometimes I can't help myself
Amen
This was inspiring and I needed this to give me the push to make it through finals.
Cal gives some great advice !!love it❤
My dad's given me that "paths" speech. I didn't listen to him because he was very much NOT using a cave to illustrate his point.
Lol, good dad. I feel like this speech makes a lot more sense when you're in your mid 40s! The path to the best life often leaves a good life behind.
😂😂😁
LOL
"I can still turn my head."
Ya know, it's the little things.
Also, so cool that it loops.
That cave is FULL of surprises. It's very hard to navigate.
This talk was great. It's not just caves people get trapped in, but paths in life. And sometimes there's one way out.
am i the only one who seen a skull face when the screen fades? lmao 11:25
Good catch!
Yea man it’s there....
Haha - I catched it too. Played it back and seen it at 11:27. nice little easter egg :)
Pause at exactly 11:27.
Slow the speed down and then pause it. 11:28 Makes it easier.
When you said “this is gonna suck” and said excuse me after is when I realized how genuine and honest person you are, and I wish to be more like you one day
Well that's a wonderful compliment thank you! It's also nice of you to simply aspire to kindness. We may fail but we are attempting to be decent.
Man I love caves I don’t wanna go inside of them I wanna see somebody did it on RUclips so I watch you every day on you do a RUclips you the best caveman it’s cool to watch your videos 👍
Thanks! It's pretty fun.
:0 I didn’t know he was going to talk to me OMG 😱
Just me or does he kind of look like a young John Malkovich? Love your content and your anecdotes. Stay safe!
Ahhh you beat me to it by 8 months lol. Yes he does.
It would be cool to see a Q&A video with all your scariest, craziest, funniest, moments in your adventures.
There's one on our patreon page! And it's free. It's just on the page. It's 10 minutes and it's exactly what you're looking for. www.patreon.com/cavemanhikes
these videos and your monologes in the cave give me so much comfort and happiness. thank you for doing what you do. always look forward to the uploads
Well that is a tremendously nice thing to say, thank you. Promoting calmness is one of our goals. Adventure and peace.
I want to start caving but then I remember I’m way to tall uncoordinated and don’t live near any caves
Good talk today, man! I'm 30, and starting to feel the beginning of the constriction of options. Especially since lately I've been realizing I want to make some big changes, but I'm not sure in what direction. It's starting to feel like there's less time to vascillate though. It's an interesting time to be in! Caving feels like a great analogy for it
Life is a vacillation between choices. There are times when you just have to pick a direction and move foreward. We often have to leave good things behind in our search for what is better.
Respect man I been watching Nothing but these videos for a few days now and blows my mind how chill you can be
Thank you. Chill is what our videos are about. The caving is incidental.
The life lessons in this video were right on point for my life right now. Was not expecting that from a caving video.
Cool thank you
You are a fascinating person. You’re also incredibly photogenic and well spoken. I know you didn’t do extra takes lol. Be safe and keep leading Jacob down the right path brother. 🤘🏻❤️
All fine compliments thank you! We just out here havin a good time.
nice to look at it again. it never gets boring. your channel is so underrated
Thank you!
Those were some deep thoughts you shared, Jacob is so fortunate to have a role model like you in his life. You always find ways to make it fun while still being very serious. You give Jacob enough freedom so that he gets to feel the full sense of accomplishment while still being safe. We need more mentors like Calvin in this troubled world...
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you mentioning the balance between fun and serious. There's a sweet spot in there somewhere. Because life is serious. But you should have a fun time doing it. That is almost never easy.
11:26 nice edit man! that freaked me out. i was thinking... that kinda looks like a skull, and then it morphed into one!! so cool!
That's called the skull room. People notice but they think it's some sort of spiritual nightmare. I'm like it's just a skull I put on top of the video!
Love the metaphor throughout the video. There have been times in my life where I thought I was at the point of no return. Lucky I still had the chance to turn around and I did. I'm grateful for that.
This is my favorite video of all your videos, so far.
Thank you for the speech in this video, man. It was really important for me to hear something like that, so I can start choosing my paths more wisely and not end up going a way I don't want to. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, I really appreciate you saying something. I never know about my ramblings.
I think, if you're the kind of person who's concerned with choosing good paths... you're likely to lead and excellent life.
9:46 Cracked me up! "I can hear the water, but I can't find it!"
Its a weird sensation. The sound was loud, but the cave is a maze.
All my body is tensed up watching you
The philosophical discussion at the beginning was something i didn't expect. Man you went deep, both figuratively and literally.
Yes! In general I like to talk my way through subjects even on my own. Sometimes it's fun to attach it to a caving video. We're all Just trying to work our way through our lives! Through the darkness!
This man is the enemy of claustrophobia
Claustrophobia is a government invention to keep you away from knowing how cool caves are.
love this posted this to my fb page alot of people need to hear about the point of no return so they can stop tryng to back track and just move forward with the path they have already layed for them selfs.
Very cool. It's difficult to back up in life because time essentially does not permit it.
Stumbled upon this channel and it spoke to me on a human lvl
Nice. Proceed with courage!
The only time I will listen to life advice like this from now on will be from a goofy madman in a tight cave. I am actually listening, haha! Thanks for all the vids
Cool thank you! This is my soft advice. The really good advice, costs everything.
Damn you’re strong as hell dude that bit at the start
Thanks yo.
I don't know why I keep watching these because I'm getting anxiously just watching this. I don't understand why anyone would want to do this for fun
Hey, if you make us some caving cookies, maybe with our label or logo, we'd give your cookie channel a shout if you wanted. You don't even need to send us the cookies but if you make a video that we could use that would be sufficient. Just for fun.
If you want.
My email is calvinsanders@comcast.net
I’m sorry but I’m stoned rn at like 2 rn and your giving me life lessons in a cave and it’s deep bro respect
You wanna really set your mind free, find a terrible tight cave.
This has to be the most weird crazy frightening least enjoyable pastime, like, EVER.
All these things!
Awesomw Video! I really hope that RUclips algorithm helps the Channel out. Video quality and editing is extremely good for the Channels size
Thank you. RUclips's algorithm is stingy but it is steadily increasing for us.
The end, when you show the three choices of paths you can take, I thought “Ooh that looks like a skull”. Then as the videos fades out an on to the next part, I kept swearing, the skull got ALOT more clear in sight. So I kept rewinding, & watching over an over. Watching an listening so I can make a mental time stamp of what you were saying, so I’ll know which word is when I need to screen shot, and BOOM…. I found caught it 😂 Got a perfect screenshot. Wish I could post, & share it but don’t have the option to. Thought I was tripping for a sec., but I saw it lol.
Yeah we call that the skulll room.
That cave is trippy it's one of the most elaborate maze caves maze caves in our area. Still not fully mapped or even close.
deep cave with a deep message beautifully worded thanks
Thank you
Wow, such sage life advice in this video. I’m 3 min in and your cave exploration is my metaphorical life to a T.
5:57 "Sometimes you choose a path, you choose a job, you get married, you have kids and you're like 'THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED'. Well, it's what you have and you have to deal with it." I could see his wife watching this and confronting him "What are you trying to say?"
The path I chose did not include a wife!
The only person to bother me is me and I do it plenty.
That´s a really great message!
The farthest I ever gone into a cave is about 60 feet. I don't think I'll do what you did even for one million.
I appreciate your narrative in the beginning. From around 2-5 min. Im a young father who, regardless of how interested i am in your videos, related to your comparison between real life and caving. Keep it up guys
Now that i have watched the whole video, i can relate to just about all of it
Nice thank you. Was part of a book I was reading on midlife crisis. I mean I put it in my own words but it really made sense to me.
I love to venture in caves I don't care much for tight squeezes like that though hats off to you and that young buck of yours be proud of him.
What an unexpected gem of life wisdom! I am close to point of no return and got stuck. I still have a decent and safe option to choose, but far from ideal. Hard work doesn't guarantee success and didn't pay off. Thanks for the great content! Live long and prosper! ;)
And you too! Isn’t life a kick at times!! Not all of our “kicks” have been pleasant.
Not only do you explore places that get my heart racing. But you add some pretty profound wisdom. Thanks for sharing!
Kind words, thanks.
I don’t know if al ever do this but it’s enjoying to watch. You have a good personality for this sort of stuff. Love from Scotland. Keep doing you
Thank you! That's a nice compliment.
The first time RUclips recommended me your videos, I thought it would be impossible even to watch it. Im a claustrophobic person. Video after video, though, you guys are helping me overcome it. My favourite videos (of course) are those where u talk about why thinking that you will get stuck is not the most important thing u have to worry about caves. It has been a couple of months now since I’ve subscribed and Im already thinking of getting on a cave. Thank you so much for that. Keep the good job, because certainly u are helping lots of people. Wish you guys the very best.
Greetings from Brazil and Italy!
Wow, you've come a long ways! the brave parts of you must be in charge of the cowardly parts. That's how we become stronger.
@@CalvinHikes Come to Italy to make a special video! Have a family friend in Calabria that does excursions in the wild Italy and he would be glad to meet u guys 💪🏽💪🏽
This video is my favorite, absolutely love the life advice you casually put out in the beginning. Watching You and jacob tackle tight spaces like this has helped me tackle my claustrophobia. Way to go! Jacob!, my name is jacob too! Your one hell of a brave and adventurous kid!!
I needed to hear this today thanks.
You are certainly welcome!
Sometimes I don't need much help I just need to know that I'm not alone with my problem.
Sir, by you talking does it take your mind off the claustrophobia aspect, I got a panic attack once watching a show like This. My hats off to you.😮
Maybe sometimes. I mostly talk because it's seems to be helpful with the video.
If I get in a really stressful situation I stop talking. But that's rare. Most of this is more anti-anxiety than it is anxiety
Love your videos, the best caving videos on youtube!
I could never do this stuff so thanks for showing us all!
Thank you and youre welcome!
I’m VERY THANKFUL to see you out of that maze of a tunnel at 12:15, bro. You are a REAL professional in my book , awesome determination and keeping your mental totally under control makes you the best out there my friend! Good luck out there !
Thank you!
How does he talk while climbing up a cave hole lmao my guy you have unlocked endless stamina in my book
Cardio is king.
You are quite a philosopher. Enjoyed it. Stay safe, please!
Hahaha... Thanks.
We will not stay safe though.
Thank you for the teaching. I have been needing this type of conversation. Also, thank you for caving. I really enjoy the experience.
You are welcome!
Yet again another amazing video this one had my stomach in knots sometimes and youre just as cool as a cucumber. Great advice on techniques and life. Much love brother keep on crawling on!
Thanks again man huge fan of yours
Thank you.
Dude you are so brave I am so proud of you it sounds like you're going in the path that you want to.
Ive been browsing on RUclips since I was like 12 and you are the only creator that I actually press the like button for. Keep up the good work! I love these videos!
That's high praise, thank you!
Love the "soliloquies" or life lessons/advicein your videos. This was one of the best. If you ever wrote a book, even if just random thoughts, I'd buy it.
And I absolutely love your sense of humor too!
Thank you. Very kind words. I don't write books per se but I am a public speaker.
I actually use these ramblings in caves to sort through some thoughts before thoughts before I speak.
And just because I appreciate the compliment so much here's a freebie with a lot of rambling!
ruclips.net/video/nw6MAn7WWsc/видео.html
Well done and well said.
I love the Pearls of wisdom as u go ... thank u . I have become an avid follower of ur adventures . “ See you Underground “
We're having a hard time remembering our catch phrases! It's hard enough just getting through the cave!
Glad you are enjoying and thank you!
IDK what's up with the RUclips algorithm but I'm convinced it's trying to help me. I'm at an event horizon in my life and I just want to give up and these videos are recommended to me out of order but they just happen to be ones where your messages speaks directly to my current situation. You are very wise.
Well I'm glad it's encouraging. I don't make speeches in all my videos but on our second Channel I do make more speeches.
It matters not. Sometimes people say quitting is not an option. But it is! It's the most readily available easiest to take option. But we don't take it. There is something better ahead for you. You may not like where you're at, but if you're patient, you may just wake up one day not with just a different perspective, but a different life.
@@CalvinHikes thank you.
that speech made me insanely existential. wow.
Yes... we're pretty existential over here. There's more of that thoughtful chatter on our 2nd page.
11:27 Skull cave! Reminds me of some Goonie types of cave system right there!
I thought my mind was playing tricks on me. But you must have imposed a photo of a skull with some editing magic. Well done.
Captures what our minds are saying we see.
What a great video. Great advice and commentary once again. This channel has done so much for me that all I can say is thank you.
Same part of the world as Goonies was filmed. Could probably make the drive in 2.5 hours from the cave to The Goonies house.
In any case that is the skulll room. And this cave is sufficiently weird. It's actually the longest lava tube in the United States (48)
Sir you are an inspiration! Much love
Wow, such a wonderful perspective, and so damn true. I need you to come on my podcast!
Man, the final moment with the multiple choices... the cave looked like an skull-ish creepy structure.
That is now called the skull room.
I like the textures of the rock in this cave, those smoother passages would make a nice path through a garden. Your so lucky to have so many amazing places to explore. There is no big cave networks where i live but i found a very rugged volcanic area but recently found some smaller volcanic pockets along cliffs while climbing a mountain called Mount Lindsay. So im hoping to find an entrance way to something bigger if i take my time.
Mount Lindsay down under? I'm just curious where that's a pretty common name for a mountain. But saying there are no big cave networks where you live is a line I've heard before. And I can say without knowing where you live that it's not true.
We live one in one of the least cave areas of our country. Caves are generally plentiful everywhere but the caving world has kept quite private. Digging for your own caves is very difficult to do so good for you for finding something.
If you aggressively want to be a caver I would encourage you to search online for caving groups and try to join one. Otherwise digging through the internet to find information on caves it's also helpful. Cuz finding them out in the wild is pretty difficult to do but starting on Mount Lindsay is probably going to be pretty fun for you. It's fun to explore. At least you're outside you know not inside watching videos all day. let us know how it goes.
Very well done! The amount of work just to climb through those caves and then film it as well, keep it up!
Thank you. It's a ton of work.
This was DEEPER than I expected…*smirk*
Probably the most sincere motivational speeches I've heard in quite some time. I needed to hear something like this for most of my life. Wish I would've heard it decades ago. I've picked so many paths, but keep coming back to a central hub. Never really committed to one path to the end. Guess I've been afraid of getting stuck, but never realizing that coming back to the same location doesn't help you escape the cave.
That is high praise thank you very much. I often wonder if my speeches detract from the video but I will do stuff like this every once in a while.
If it's something that you think about then you are probably a great person full of thought. That doesn't always lead to the most happiness but it will eventually lead to a fulfilling life.
“...let it remain a mystery.” Well damn, we got ourselves a philosophic cave man. Most likely the only one on RUclips. Or do you prefer Cave Man philosopher?
This is what happens when Jacob isn't with me!
This is a very very good channel and for all these people who say that he’s a bad dad for putting his kids through this your wrong this is somthing that him and his kids will remember and cherish for the rest if there lives cause of the time they spent together this guy is amazing and you can tell he is very intelligent and this video is also very instructional for people who don’t have someone telling them what he is right now this guy is awesome and I’d love to go caving but there aren’t any where I’m from and I used to be very claustrophobic but I feel like I’m not anymore so I’d deff wanna try this for sure
We really don't care what internet strangers say about us. We are fictional characters to them. We care slightly more about kind folks like yourself. But mostly, we care about ourselves. We're having a great time with our supporters... and at the expense of our doubters. ; )
@ 11:22 the tunnel system mixed with the light/shadows looks like a skull. Anyone else see it?
Oh yeah, great videos by the way. I cannot stop watching!
Pause it at 11:28. He put a skull picture over the top of it to make it look more like a skull lol. But it does look like a skull without the image either way!
@@drunkleted1823 Yeah, noticed that, too lol. Kinda skeeved me out a bit. Cuz I was definitely noticing the skull-like appearance before and that fadeout with the light and image overlay was done perfectly that I didn't realize there was an overlaid image at first and had to back up to look at that transition closer.
You speak very postively for a man that is stuck in the earths behind
Thank you. I always speak positively.
Damn… maybe I need to slither down a tight cave and get enlightened.
I don't cave dive, but this was an epic vid. Love the wireless mic you got going on... I could hear you perfectly... your footage was amazingly filmed too. I know the work it take... and my friend... I could tell you put in a ton of work to get different angles. Nicely done.
Thank you. Sound is important to us but it's also a big challenge. We always have problems with the audio. Caves are cold and wet and about half the time we lose the audio!
It's our hope that in the future these will play like movies.
@@CalvinHikes I dig it man... great job
Lol, yep that definitely a tight squeeze!❤️
I myself am clostrophobic and I watch your caving trips and I am amazed at your coolness, it even makes me kinda unafraid a little. I am from Ireland and I would love to be able to break my phobia and if I met someone like you I'd say it would be possable to do so..... love your vids man keep it up and stay safe.....
Thank you so much for the kind words!
i love the superimposed skull at 11:23. Great video!🤙
The caving content is already amazing to watch and then your personality and the charisma you have just push it to another level I can honestly say if I was to ever try and get into doing this and learning I would want you to be the one in that cave with me
Kind words. Wish we could just the whole family of subscribers caving. It’s an amazing world. Thanks for watching
@2:30 very well stated in the perfect metaphorically environment
Man gives viewers existential crisis while in cramped tunnel
Yes!
Wow as a 22 year old who lost his mom before hughschool and dad was a drunk i started my path a lot earlier then most young people and so just hearing you talk about once you decide your point of no return amnd you just have to figure things out when they come your way spoke to me
Tremendously ! Such cool parallels between what you were doing and life
I'm almost certain life is not supposed to be this tough on a on someone such as yourself. But It sounds like you've wrestled through some of the difficulties and are becoming a gracious person in spite of those difficulties.
Amazing videos !!!
brave and cool. Happy you got out👍
Amazing video. Awesome caving information and also life lessons keep it up calvin. Hope the family is well . God bless
Thanks Adam! Adam had'em!
My dad's called Antony aka Ant. Together were Adam and the Ant
Brilliant episode and great advice. Thankyou
Great talk!!! Always inspiring!
This guys like the best caver and life coach. Love this channel
Thank you. We just out here havin a good time.
This video is informative and rewarding on so many levels. Thankyou.
You are welcome
I know you always get out but it’s still scary seeing you lost down there with several passages to choose and the great distances you go through those tight squeeze passages , this would drive a normal person crazy with fear being in that situation , always relieved to see you get out .
Yeah it's still scary but a normal person wouldn't just walk into a situation like this. It's taken us a long time to develop the necessary courage and skills to do this and have fun.
Loved the superimposed skull on the nightmare of choice. Even the tubes looked like a skull!
Good catch. We call that the skull room.
@@CalvinHikes Thank you. Well, to be honest, it was so subtle I had to backtrack a couple of times and spam the space bar to pause the video on the right spot to make sure I saw it indeed. Very nice! You really know how to play with perception, sir!
And yes, I love it when people get creative with naming their surroundings. I have no experience in spelunking, but I've done a bit of hiking and even in that kind of activity naming spots in such a way has helped me a lot to register and remember the trail better. :)
What a wonderful channel this is! I am thoroughly enjoying these videos. I of course came across this via the nutty putty story.
So much to learn!
I cant Go in a cave,but i love to see you guys going love you guys
Very inspirational. Your videos are fantastic, the quality is amazing.
The edit you did at 11:18 was so damn cool.
Thank you.
I just your channel again and I still love your vids
Thank you! ; )
Just stumbled across your films- excellent and inspirational work and very well put together. Great speech about path/life choices. Love it!
Thank you!
I throughly enjoyed this video.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Every time.
Love the commentary as much as the caving
Thank you so much!
