Awesome how u are careful in these caves to preserve them the best u can 👍
Thanks. In these ones with a lot of formations... We have to be super careful. It is not even really loved within the caving community that we show videos of them. So we have to take extra care not to show locations or anything.
@@CalvinHikes I know you wouldn't want people going to the locations and defiling the formations but are there really anti-spelunkers going around just to destroy the fun for other people? Me being someone who doesn't cave wouldn't waste my time going to a cave to destroy structures, but I don't know.
@@Pihan- No there aren't any people looking to destroy caves. And there aren't anyone who's going to come out to these caves ever.
Our care of this cave location is a courtesy to the people who are stewards over the caves of this area. I think they are overjudging people's zealousy to find caves like this and go in them. But it's not always our call. The caving community works together to share information and so we have to be respectful of what other groups want also.
With highly sensitive caves like this it doesn't take much. Even good cavers with good intentions over time will damage parts of the cave. So it's also about limiting all cavers... even respectful cavers like us.
I'm telling you it's a sensitive community!
@@CalvinHikes have you ever thought about being a cave guide like if my wife and I want to get into this we are a big fan since watching your videos we have gone on hikes more we want to get into caveing for out 10th anniversary we would like for you to take us on one if you wouldn't mind I would pay so plz let me know.....
wow....absolutely stunning. that is truly one of the most beautiful caves you've shown us. the natural formations are breathtaking.
When this guy was born, he probably tried to crawl back in.
Its good that crazy people like you guys exist, i would never in my life attempt to do this but i can "experience " it cause of crazy people like you. So thank you!
We tried normal once and it did not work for us

You guys are cool
I would never ever do caving myself

It's crazy that after watching these videos for a few months my level of claustrophobia has dropped significantly, even went into my homes crawlspace for the first time. Glad to watch your channel grow!
Caving does that for us too. We’re working our way up to do crawl spaces. 🤗
Same here, I used to get very anxious watching this, now I feel more calm, I also started caving recently, been doing quite simple caves and mines with some crawls and my anxiety levels improve every time I go, tight spaces used to be my number one fear, now it's just mildly uncomfortable for me to do.
Nothing seems to get me over my fear of hights though !
Just watching people climb cranes and stuff makes my hands and feet sweat and heart beat rise!
Nice!!
Isn't that true! The first few of these I watched I could barely breath and was yelling at my screen for them to stop and so on! ha BUT over time I've gotten a lot more comfortable and acclimated to these scenes.....not that I could actually DO THIS.
@David Humes ha! Have you seen these videos? :) Trust me, not this guy!!! ha
I'd find ZERO fun being in there. But it's fun watching you guys brave it!
It pegs our fun meter
This is so rad love this stuff. Though I would never dare try it myself. Props to you guys.
Bill Sanders right at 0
Some people have different needs to fill their adrenaline
If I were younger I would love doing this stuff, but I'm older now and have some bad physical injuries to my back and hands, it sucks!! but I'd totally do this if I was still 25 or even 30 lmao!
This is really awesome. I bet it's very special doing this, and finding caves like this. Because you know only a few people will ever see that stuff , and you guys see things we never will.
After watching a bunch of your videos lately , I'm starting to understand your reason for caving. Really awesome stuff .
Thank you guys for making these videos for us!
So so so amazing, I miss caving! Thank you for letting us all live vicariously through you ♡
You are welcome. There are caves yet to be found.
Ive been watching your videos for a couple of days and I feel i have learnt a lot. This is definetely the coolest things ive seen on youtube. You made my week after discovering your channel. Greeting from Chile!
Thank you so much all the way to chile. And welcome to the dark frontier.
Man, I've often wondered if there is another world inside the earths crust. You guys will probably find it before anyone else.
And you will get to see the video.
Thanks for watching

@@billsanders9387 have you visited any Indiana caves?
You guys have made me feel significantly less anxious about the idea of caving & exploring more of our beautiful PNW. I found your channel a couple days ago & can’t stop watching! Thank you for the lovely life lessons sprinkled in, as well.
Nice comment. We haven’t caved since...about 1:00 today. Our PNW is still being discovered. Welcome to the dark frontier.
Just watching makes me squirm. I could never be in a space where I couldn’t turn around like that. I would be terrified of the tiny space.
I’ve always wanted to do something like this, going through terrifying things is super rewarding feeling.
Glad you understand. Many people think we are nuts.
@@billsanders9387 you are nuts lol, but it really is amazing what you all are doing!!
We’re probably psycho! 🤗
@@billsanders9387 I see what you did there! 😂
Since I grew up in Missouri I have to keep reminding myself that you're in lava caves and gloves aren't needed when touching formations. That was drummed into us to keep from "killing" the sedimentary formations there with skin oil. Love your videos and its awesome to see a different kind of cave from what I grew up with!
Yeah these formations were dead the moment they were created! That's a good idea for us to mention it though in future videos so people don't get the wrong idea.
@@CalvinHikes That Ghost hand was awesome

Love the ethereal background music while showing the "lava candles" -- bless your efforts, brother! A unique man you are!
Crazy is unique, right?
@@billsanders9387 Yes sir!!!!!
Have just returned back from Iceland where we met a Volcanologist on one of our hikes. Told her all about you guys and she may drop by to have a look at your great work.
That would be cool!
WOW such an amazing cave, been following for a while now and I always like to hear your thoughts while going through the cave. Saludos desde Costa Rica!
Thanks sir. Find us some caves in your incredibly beautiful country.
That little hand at 13:40
Good catch. Gotta hand it to you. Glove on lava candle.
@@billsanders9387 so cool, thnx ^^
Such beautiful formations that I've never seen before. Could have easily mistaken for Martian or other planetary surface. 👽
We always think that it looks like a foreign planet but the reality is reality is, it's Earth. The Earth is a weird place.
@@CalvinHikes "The Earth is a weird place" you can say that again
Great Spelunking. When you look down at the dry harden lava drippings at (TS) 11:11 has the shape of a rose petal. 🌹
Great catch.
And we call them "lava roses."
I watch you guys while I'm clutching a blanket, and I'm yelling/cringing/cheering you on. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures with the rest of us! Stay safe ❤️
Your comment can be imagined quite well. In this chaotic world, caves have become our security blanket. Thanks for watching.
I have only just discovered your channel and spend my time watching through my fingers as what you do terrifies me, yet I find it totally fascinating! I totally admire your skills and efforts, here's to many more explorations! Thank you for sharing!
Kind words, and much appreciated. We’re just having the time of our lives.
Panic attack here I come!! Such a beautiful cave! The lava formations are something I've never seen! Great video sir.
We get those at times. Cavers are human too. Almost
But are you really?? 😅
Ok, let us do some research and get back to you. 🤔. This may be quite an eye opener.
So, I’m Caveman’s dad, (and active caver at 73). He said “I don’t know, I’m not an Anthropologist.” 🤪🤪
Glad you enjoy the videos, and enjoyed the chat.
It's nice to meet you sir. Name is Wesley, from South Carolina, not sure if we have any caves around here. What y'all are doing is amazing, and 73 and going strong that's something. Glad I stumbled onto the channel. Looking forward to more. Y'all take care. ✌️
I don't know how I came across you guys & similar videos, but I thank you. I'm a city boy & I've never thought of doing such a thing as cave exploring. Bravo !
Welcome to the dark frontier.
Do scientists (or who) often traverse places like these to collect information about these types of formations?
Also, out of curiosity, what level of caving experience/expertise would you need for this cave? Or how comfortable do you expect the average person would feel going through the entrance? You two make it look so easy but the smallest parts seem large enough for the average unskilled person to do so comfortably. I know it may be more complicated than that.
Finding these caves is nearly impossible. The rest is unique to each cave. We are in a very remote wilderness area here. Thanks for watching
This sort of thing is fascinating. It's unnerving and creeps me out, but I can't look away.
In time, you’ll be wanting to try one on for size.

I think you can pin this to the top of comments
Background music made me cry a bit. Love your videos, thanks for sharing all your adventures with us.
Thanks much
Its like traveling to another world when going on this adventure with you guys! Really very enjoyable. Makes me wish I was in my younger body and could still get into places like this.
So this is the next best thing for me and others who are not willing to dive into these places.
There is something primal about caves and deep places. Those places that squeeze and tighten up around you is much like the trip we all took just to get to this place.
The squeeze we all took to get into life is next level.
Thanks for sharing this one with us here today.
You are certainly welcome
A tour through the lava holes, and a taco bell commercial. How appropriate.
The things we have to put up with on RUclips! Thanks for watching
Question: Did you put the cartoon filter on the footage of the outside entrance of the cave in order to keep curious amateurs from locating it?
Technically yes. I don't think anyone will ever find these caves ever in the history of all time. But the people who essentially give us the locations of the caves want us to hide the location. So it's a courtesy to those who share caving information with us so that they will not withhold information from us next time.
Caving is a private, sensitive world. The people and the caves.
@@CalvinHikes Kondo like gollum
Everytime I think man I would like to go caving am reminded by the multiple stories I hear of spider caves

It’s amazing to watch you! “Mind over matter”! Thanks for showing these incredible experiences. 👍😊 just please be safe, I know you do. ❤️
Caveman’s dad here. He’s a two tour gulf vet. One tough mind, and super nice dude.
I’m back again my favorite part in the video’s is when they get to the existing of the cave
The caves are constantly teaching us about their creation. We’re still in Cave Kindergarten.
Ever since I've started watching these videos I've been crawling under couches and stuff. But I could never do something like this!
Clive, you are a faithful follower and we appreciate that. By now you should be adding some spiders for your crawls. 🙄
@@billsanders9387 haha good idea 😂
the lava candles really make me think of the city of tears from hollow knight
There is a lesson to be learned from this, the greatest rewards are found where the highest of risks reside.
Beautiful work!
Well said. Occasionally we explore and find little. This one is beyond imagination
Been looking out for a new video! Your a cool dude.
Hypothermic at times. 🤪
Imagine hearing an earthquake while being in a tight spot in a cave
Should that happen, we hope our audio is on at the moment.
Really enjoy seeing a new video crop up. I used to have to stop watching anytime it felt claustrophobic, but now I find your videos both enjoyable and relaxing. Thanks for the content!
You're welcome. Should be new content on this page once a month and weekly on the 2nd page. Roughly speaking.
Nice to get a calm, content focused and non over the top clickbaity Video 👍👍👍
Great.
Thanks. We want our adventures to be intense but not every cave is. This was just a very pretty cave.
What an amazing cave and video. Thank you for this!
More to explore here. Thanks for watching.
“It’s caving day and the group has assembled”, with one in a big blue one piece, he will be the leader.
Fantastic video! Great to see the subs up and up while you guys keep caving down! Nice work!
Life has it’s ups and downs for sure.
I get really strong Steven "Trevor" Ogg vibes at the end of the video.
I remember the first time I watched y’all at 500 subs crazy to see y’all grow
Jacob was so excited about 500 subs he wanted to celebrate. I told him to strap on your boots buddy we are going for a ride! But all this I didn't expect. We're still just down here having a good time.
Recently found ur channel and I’m addicted !!
Welcome to the dark frontier
What an absolutely superb video, well done 👏
Thank you. We would still cave without kind viewers, but you are appreciated.
Your videos are so great Calvin! You are giving people who fear these things, a chance to see and experience them for ourselves, even if its through a phone or computer screen, you are GREAT at making all of us feel included.
Thank you for bringing us along mate!
Thank you for the kind words
I love watching your videos. Keep ‘em coming!
Will do. (Snow, please melt)
These lava candles are incredible. What a beautiful cave.
The underground is just incredible. Thanks for watching
Best part about these videos isn't the awful squeezes or clickbaity dangers but rather the passion and excitement you show for caves and cave formations.
That’s an awesome comment, and that is exactly how we feel. Thank you
I wish had the courage to go into these caves. I'm to classophobic to afraid. I would have a panic take. I get to see these beautiful caves. The rock formations are amazing. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Courage can be built, you don't have to go caving for it.
Hey, Caveman Hikes. I'm just a dude in Australia. Just want to say to you and your son - the connection is inspiring.. My father was a domestic abuser who I'll happily never see again for the rest of my life, just want you guys to know you have something really beautiful, and for you guys it might be so natural.. But from where I sit, it represents the connection with my father I dreamed of having, but unfortunately never will. Thank you for representing to me, what being an incredible father is.
Of course I'm sorry your childhood was not what you would have it to be. But you certainly seem to have turned out as a kind and caring adult. Thank you for the kind words. And welcome to the dark frontier family.
*I visited Australia several times some years ago. Sydney on one side and Perth on the other.
@@CalvinHikes Thanks man, not to get dreary, just wanted to share how cool this was to see, loved the reply. Just a question when you have time; how do you get into it? Go on tours with guides ($$$) or find explored caves and go with a buddy (less$).. pretty curious, seems very cathartic. Peace from Aus.

This is so fun to watch. Couldn't do this myself, especially not the tight crawl spaces, but it's pretty awesome to watch the videos.
Well, we thank you for watching.
Those corridors full of stalagmites are truly something else. The remind me of something churchlike.
Yea, this one has a lot going on. Considered a pretty special cave, as far as lava tubes go.
@@CalvinHikes And thank you guys for going in! Otherwise we little nervous types would never get to see it.
My hat goes off to you guys. I can’t even go into an MIR Machine without freaking out they have to knock me out. Sometimes I watch his videos and I get all panicky my heart starts to flat flutter and I get sweaty I’m so claustrophobic but I still have to watch.

Since I discovered your channel, I can't get enough. You guys are amazingly awesome and courageous. I am so claustrophobic I can't believe I love your channel so much.
Stay safe and greetings from Australia! 👍
There are caves in Australia where people occupy them as a residence. We’re looking for our new home here. 🤗
dudes super awesome video, that cave was beyond amazing. Wow those lava candles, roses, and chalices were insane!
And the cave is extremely remote or these things may not have survived
@@billsanders9387 oh absolutely.
I get happy everytime I see you get outside again at the end of your videos
As do we. Then, off to find another hole in the ground.
1:26 "No, no. No, I think this is the wrong way."
It's quotes like this that make me say no to caving. The thought of going down a narrow path like that is terrifying enough, add in having the lingering thought of going the wrong way is in the back of your mind. It's admirable how calm you guys are even when you don't know which path is the correct one.
We eventually get on the right path. It kinda like life.

TY much
It is so interesting to learn about how cave formations like these are formed. These are beauties of nature that not many people will ever see :)
This one is very unique in features. Thanks for watching
12:53 so impressive scenery
I have always felt claustrophobic. I dunno why now it all seems fun to do. I know its not easy and that is what makes it seem fun.
Be careful or your curiosity will have you looking for a cave. That’s how we got started
@@billsanders9387 Yup Ill always be careful about that. I won't go looking for a cave without a cave guide👍
Just gonna go ahead and binge-watch all these lol
There's a second channel if you run out.
Amazing formations! Spectacular! The lava stuff isn’t in caves where I live.
Yeah we all have to accept the caves in the areas we live. We don't have a lot of limestone.
@@CalvinHikes what area do you all exploring in?
Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho...so far. There are caves pretty much everywhere
Those Lava Dripped rock formation are so cool! (I don't know what you call them so forgive me please)
That's basically what we call them. They just have a bunch of nicknames like lava candles. Or we just call them formations.
I like them because they form in an instant when the cave is being formed. It's not the thousands of years like limestone. Its one fiery moment.
11:00 so informative !!!!! Thanks !!!
My buttcheeks are sore from all the clenching I've been doing watching these videos
Never had that comment before. Even got a laugh from a caver. Thanks for watching
@@billsanders9387 thanks for being crazy enough to go caving 😵💫😵💫
Love the videos!! Keep them coming
If you keep watching, we will.
I love the natural beauty of caves and these videos help me get the experience without doing it myself. But I was wondering, because it's kind of my worst fear if I ever decided to try: can talking loudly cause an avalanche to happen? Or just the cave caving-in on itself from loud noise? These videos are so cool to me and I love the way you guys find beauty in something that terrifies others.
Good question. Lava tube caves like this are quite safe. We chatter to keep the nerves down, and add to video quality. Our rare instances of rock falling missed us and camera.
@@billsanders9387 I see !! Thank you:)) hope to go into a not-so-small cave one day just to see what it's like. Definitely an interesting world !! Thank you for educating people!!
glad to see you still going out and enjoying the challenge constantly man!
Now, if the snow will please melt!!
Ever feel like you’re between a rock and a hard place?
Am I claustrophobic? YES Am I gonna stop watching? NO… might as well have some little panic and heart attack while watching it
You’re training yourself to be a caver. Glad we could help.
amazing!
You guys are crazy. I’d never dream of going into the lava tubes in SE Idaho.
Are you saying that there's caves in Idaho you don't want to go to? I'm sure they're fine though I've never been in that area.
@@CalvinHikes if you ever make it out that way. I’ll leave the spelunking to you. There is a few caves I’ve been in. Nothing very tight.

@@billsanders9387 Would love to!! Greetings from Brazil! Don't know where you live, but wouldn't miss a chance to join you if I was nearby
We live in Northwest US, and cave Calif, Oregon, Idaho, and Washington primarily. Find us some caves in your beautiful country and we’ll learn Portuguese. 🤪
I love ❤️ his voice. He needs to have a podcast. Just a very educational type voice
Thank you!
That’s some amazing geology! The lava tubes
You guys are crazy
We consider that a compliment.
Watching these videos gives me a fun dose of adrenaline. I would never want to be there myself, but watching it is great. Stay safe.
Adrenaline is our drug of choice too. Thanks for watching
i’m actually scared watching these,
Relax and enjoy. We cave for the sheer joy of discovery, and we take care to make it out safe.
Love it, so relaxing to watch
And to experience too. Silence and solitude.
this channel is my comfort place. i really like your narrative and how you explain everything! lots of love!
Great comment. It’s a unique kind of fun.
I am sorry but as soon as you see a crack like in the beginning of video, you should not proceed. never.
Also please visit those alpine and caucasus caves that are miles deep and long. Do an expedition and record everything. Source equipment through funding sites undercover like indiegogo etc. and sell your footage through them as well. (by undercover I mean say it is like a vr experience project or something and only let your immediate fans know through word of your own) Make a tier where you give them the uncut experience for like 1k dollars each and scratch the names of the highest tier backers inside the farthest point in those caves (like 10k each) You would become a BILLIONARE I swear.
We do caves that are miles long, and many that had never been explored previously. Our intent is just to provide a visual for those interested in our crazy hobby. It will never be about the money. Glad you enjoyed the video.
This Man has no fear !
Wanna bet? 🤪. Living life in a unique manner may harness some fear, but we are all human. Thanks for watching
"The lost souls of the under world.
I'd turn off the light and take a nap before I came out! Lol
Sometimes we do.
