A rock fell on me. But I found some old candy. Spooky caving special.

The scariest thing about watching you guys caving is that I feel myself wanting to do it too.
Good good let the want flow through you...
Your content helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life and seeing you and son crawl through the cracks and keep your cool was very calming. Thanks for your uploads.
Well that's very nice of you to say. May you stay in the Light.
Kind of a holiday special. My head is fine. But I took quite a wallop! Who needs a helmet with a head this hard!
I returned with a helmet and completed the dig and was able to find a bit more cave under the subfloor.
I used to be so claustrophobic that an MRI would take me long mental preparation, one year later of watching your videos I am caving every other weekend and if the cave doesn't have a cramp tight passage it is no fun. :) Thanks!
Haha, that's pretty cool. And sometimes it does come to that where if it ain't tight it ain't fun
I'm subbed to both channels but never get recommended the videos from this channel, but just know I periodically check it to support the work you guys are doing... I'm in limestone country there is a well known cave that I'm planning on pushing in the future but my skill just isn't there (not the most confident climber but soon)
Yeah this channel is probably not algorithm heavy. This is just for people who are really wanting to watch our content. Stuff is not edited very much and I'm surprised we have more than 100 Subs.
Vertical caving is the kind that will get you in trouble without sufficient knowledge. And that's how a lot of limestone caves are. Lots of vertical! I'm sure you'll figure it out. Let us know how it goes.
I hope you guys don't stop for a long long time and making videos! It seems like many of us love watching you guys do this :)
Hope all is well!
i can sense the knowledge contained within this dude and his jacob.
after watching on/off for a few years now, i can safely say my hands do not drip with sweat.
you have desensitized me to pro caving. it's a good thing
Thanks. Too cold to sweat!
The trick is if I really don't like something, I just don't do it. Or I wait and build up my confidence. I'm all about being courageous but I don't want to do something that makes me nervous the whole time.
@@EvenDarker as a viewer, i trust what I'm seeing 100%. amazing skills!
I’m so glad I stumbled across both of your channels. You are both so well spoken and I really think you should be guests on Joe Rogan podcast. This is just as inspiring, amazing and scary as anything someone like Alex Honnold, the free solo guy does.
Thank you! Somebody gotta tell Joe Rogan.
@joerogan
Hope your head is alright. Another cool video.
Inside or outside? 🤔
I just discovered your channels yesterday. Never seen anything like them. Y'all are so brave!
Thank you! Welcome to the dark Frontier
5:21 I completely agree with that.
Thanks for pointing me this way!
Where can we find your tree art?
😮when I saw what was supporting the rock above the next paassage.... that was dangerous my friend.
Yeah we did not like that rock. I haven't dug any further specifically underneath that rock. It looks much much worse in person than on video. There is almost nothing holding it.
@EvenDarker be safe on the next visit! Wishing the best for you & your adventures
You all make it look ez with the reality being mostly far from ez I suppose. Bravo! Copycats beware! These guys are pros not oh no's.
Great comment. This sort of activity has been in our family for generations. We know the gig well.
Haven't checked into your channel for awhile. Glad you stayed conscious!😅
Glad that rock didnt knock you out bud...I would imagine falling into those other rocks while unconsious would really be bad news. Falling on flat ground after being knocked out is dangerous enough. Take care of yourself out there man,don't want you getting hurt too badly.
Yeah, I don't want him getting hurt either. I watched this twice. It's nice. More Calvin. The part when he's in complete darkness is pretty scary in that cave. I would go NUTS!
Stay safe from Minnesota.
I'll always be safe from Minnesota!
I feel myself tense up when i feel like you're going to be stuck
We're never going to be stuck. No more tenseness!
@@EvenDarker yessir, Understood
I was wondering where you went glad you’re doing well!❤️
We are back underground…or actually never quit.
This looks scary but also fun. I'm gonna go practice by crawling under my bed.
Put some ice packs down there these caves are freezing.
Have you guys ever considered going through the marathon crawl in Mossdale Caverns? For the ultimate in claustrophobic, fear inducing (as far as I know) adventure? Dealing with fear of flash flood? I think it would bring a lot of interest due to the notoriety of the cave.
We may need you as our guide.
I got lost in the cave watching you lol 😂
Great comment. Are you also very cold, banged up, and exhausted? 🤪
so long since the last video thank you for the upload
I think it was 8 days since the last upload.
Dude youre a monster! You should have your own tv channel or something...! Your vids are F'ing Awesome 💯!
Thank you!
Disney Netflix National Geographic discovery... we've taken offers from most of the streaming networks. We just keep saying no. Why mess up a good life!?
You know what they do when we say no is they go find somebody else to say yes. There are several shows now you can find on streaming networks. And not to compare ourselves to them but those shows are pretty boring. And they film them exactly like our RUclips channel it's pretty funny. But that's okay.
A tight crawl on this one.
Some spots got too tight and I gave up. It's not safe down in those rocks!
@@EvenDarker Sounds like a smart move to me.
@EvenDarker great to see that you know when to turn back.
Do u guys encounter poisonous spiders , snakes or any other dangerous insect in caves ? And How do u deal with them
The dangers we deal with are falling, hitting our head, and the cold temperatures. You'd be surprised what's dangerous in caves. For example, not snakes. But I've been in several caves that were full of used hypodermic needles. Not flooding, but I've been in caves with dead animal carcasses piled up.
Never what ya think!
@@EvenDarker I find it pretty strange they taught us the closer you get to the alleged "center" of earth, the hotter it gets, until you reach the molten center... Like a chocolate filled ice cream sundae cone or something... 😂🍦
But caves are mostly cold from videos I've been watching.
I'm gonna leave cave exploring to you... I crawl under housing & and attics for a living!
Let’s trade for a couple gigs and see how it shakes out. 🤗
I tell u , u guys have b____s of steel , because i trully do not think i could do this . Whe i was young and nothing frightened me yes but now i think to much . And you guys are awesome . Thank you for the great videos in allowing us to see what this earth has to offer.
Thanks for watching and commenting. We’re just having fun.
God speed...
How fast is that?
Real cool
A little above freezing, in fact.
wow so much in 16 mins. what a great video once again.
i'd have thought being kissed by that cave was kind of a reminder of how potentially dangerous it is to ve alone down there.
and then i remembered you're a legend.
i hope all my comments help your algo. even though you don't care lol
I don't care about the algorithm but I appreciate the interaction. I went back today and finished the Dig where the rock hit my head. I was digging into a subfloor area. I found a little more cave. Not much but at least I know what's down there now.
This time I wore a helmet! My head has healed up pretty well
@@EvenDarker bless you for selflessly showing us the magic of the planet.
and you don't need a helmet when your balls are made of steel haha
I'm starting to think you must have a clothes closet the size of a small county with all the shredded clothes you must go through doing this...
I usually buy most of the caving gear in kind of bulk. Five or six pairs ahead. The red sweater the pants the shoes the knee and elbow pads. And I have like 100 pairs of gloves ready to go.
*And it is indeed an entire room. It's a two bedroom house and one of the bedrooms is just caving gear. So is the other bedroom. I sleep in the living room. True story!
Have you watched or read the "The Enigma of the Amigara Fault" by Junji Ito?
I've never consumed any caving media of any kind. No books or movies or TV or youtube. I know about some shows and books from comments. But that's about it!
Hey man, are you okay? stopped posting on the other channel for 8 months!
There were even people scared because you disappeared
No I'm not okay thank you for asking. This was fully explained on a video on our other channel.
I think it's called injury update. It seems no one has watched that though or maybe they watched it and simply don't believe us. That's okay. We'll die to Live Another Day.
@@EvenDarker oh man! I'm sorry, had no idea! Heading over to watch that after I finish watching this!
🙏🏻🌸💜🌸🧗🏿♂️👷🏻❣️🦑🤗
Do you ever wonder if your luck will run out caving?
That puts too much pressure on luck.
What about caves beckons you? I know im not one to talk, i love mountains and sub zero temps but the cold has a blissful peace to it, mountains are tall and make you feel safe amongst them. Entering a form of mental stasis brings clarity, whether it be cold water or the freezing breeze. But what about a tight tunnel gives you that feeling?
Not a thing. Like I never gave it a thought. There was a cave and I went in it. Never occurred to me not to or to think of reasons why I liked it. Just like I want to eat pie that I like versus food that I don't like. I couldn't tell you why.
I could make something up that would satisfy the question like it's a fun adventure or it's peaceful it's relaxing it's Unique nobody else is there it's quiet it's beautiful it's like a different world it's like visiting a different planet. But in the end none of those reasons are reasons why I cave. I just like it.
What cave cause nervous or scared when you are inside?? Hi from Pennsylvania
After a few hundred caves, the nerves just about ignore the facts.
Very few “normal” people do this crazy stuff. Getting stuck is not fun. 🤪
Love your content and how you know so much about cave exploring and that you share it to us on youtube 💗
You are welcome!
I'm not a fan of these types of caves. Thankful you were not seriously injured. Did you eat the candy? 😊
I really wanted to eat the candy.
You're not a fan of this portion of this type of cave. This cave is absolutely monstrous. It's one of the biggest caves in the area. But since it's so well known I was trying to dig out some new areas. And those areas are dangerous.
The cave is so big we just call it Big cave.
Oh! I assumed it was new. What you showed was great for my claustrophobia. I always watch whatever you post because it's fascinating and informative. 😊
Ngl thought the horrible happened since you quit uploading on the other channel
We explained what happened on the other channel. I feel like that video is not getting watched. I thought putting out a memo would help but it has not.
What happen to the main channel? Why haven’t you guy posted any video on it for many months now?
We haven't had any content for it.
I went caving when I was in the infantry and yup it's not for me lol I love watching the videos of you and ya nephew, my heart is going a million beats when ya both struggling thru some of them tight tunnels like the tree casts and I'm like nope, no, nah lol
Maybe you had a little bit of a bad introduction if it was a military exercise or experience.
I was in the Navy and now you can't get me in a boat to save my life. No thank you. It's a spoiled experience.
@EvenDarker think it's the whole what if feeling of being trapped not being able to get out,if its big enough to walk then it's OK but some of them tight bits you lot go thru scare the living daylights out of me, hand on heart love watching you lot tho
Hey. I just was wondering what happened with the main channel and why there’s no videos being posted. My minds been running a little. Is everything alright?
No everything is not all right. That's why we posted a video on the main page sometime ago explaining what was taking place. Either no one's watching it or people watch it and don't believe us but that's okay.
@@EvenDarker Not to seem to pushy but do you have the name of the video? If you don’t want to share it that’s fine.
@@EvenDarkerI just took a look and I cant see any on the main channel. Is this just referring to the videos on the other channel taking more time to make and produce so became less after Covid now everyone is back at work/school?
genuine question...could you slap a gopro on your head, instead of a selfie stick?
I have several different helmets which I have GoPro attachments on. And many videos with the GoPro attached to my helmet.
Are you by yourself?
Almost always
@@EvenDarkerunless your with your Robin aka Jacob
Are you by yourself be ause man i woud think that i itself is crazy and if not a little wrong , as you should not be alone in these situations . Thats bordering neglect and you trully do have to think of family that would trully beheart broken to lose you.
I am alone as often as I can possibly be.
@@EvenDarker here here!! Solitude is the most peaceful, beautiful time, I feel closer to God and the most freedom. Few people get it though. 🌸💜🌸
Your channel is my absolute favourite! Too scared and fat to do it myself but now i can take part in the adventure. I really love that it's not flashy or "this cave has "GHOSTS!" or anything like that. Just a (maybe dumb) question: If an unexplored cave goes further than you expected, how do you determine when to stop? Mutual inituition?
We stop when we get tired. Basically. If there's a new cave and it's big and cool we hate stopping. We often have to break up exploration and mapping into multiple days. Sometimes into separate trips that are months or even years apart.
We just keep the data and information and we keep chipping away and over time all the caves in our area get accounted for, explored and mapped. The library of known caves is expanded all the time by our group. We just keep chipping away!
@@EvenDarker awesome!
🌸💜🤗💜🌸 You guys give me anxiety😂 but we need guys like you, especially in rescue situations where us normies see impossibilities... You guys see possibilities, by slowly and methodically inching your bodies places no one else will go!
Your like land squids! 🦑🌸💜🌸 Or squirrels 🐿️😂... Watching Ya'll earlier made me think, man, they're like land squids! 🤣😂🌸💜🌸🙏🏻🧗🏿♂️👷🏻❣️
