We all watch this and see how scary and difficult it actually is and none of us would actually do this but I would like to add one other difficulty factor that this man seems to take on with every video I want he can't even use his hands while he's going through these tubes if you notice one hand is on the camera most of the time and the other one is on in the light which means the only thing that could be pulling him through on the front end of his body are pretty much his forearms and his toes incredibly difficult I tip my hat to you sir
Thanks yo.
As levels of difficulty go, the caving is the easiest part by far. Editing the videos at home is the hardest!
One extra level of difficulty with holding the camera is the caves are freezing so I usually can't feel my fingers.
I simply appreciate that you noted this. So thank you.
The editing is outstanding I really love the parts where you show a picture diagram of how the body is positioned in the cave it really helps the viewer to understand the predicament that you're in
i would like to add he double caves there is no way he gets shots of him descending a cave or coming into a new shaft with out first doing it doubling back then doing it again simply amazing and pure dedication
Yeah I’m
You would have to have balls, to do this ..!?
i'd literally be shitting my pants and crying. fair play to you.
Things we outgrew in the crib.
@@billsanders9387 😂😂😂😂😂 id just not do this
I usually call out people for misusing the word “literally.” In this case, I can 100% affirm its proper use! I would be guaranteed to pack my pants with doodie as well. No daggum way Jose!!
You'd be crying, pooping, shitting, and farting?

@@billsanders9387 I rather the crazy one's
Help, I'm legally blind and I'm trapped inside my wardrobe
This is one of my phobia, other than heights 🤣
If it was tight squeezes, as I'm standing up, cool... I don't like laying down, in tight spots lol
The fact that this man went into the cave during a time when it was likely to flood ON PURPOSE instead of the flooding surprising him like I originally thought Is insane
Yeah we surprised the flood! Oh how the turntables
@@CalvinHikes Michael!!!!
Calvinhikes???
@@CalvinHikesbro your insane I love it!
@@CalvinHikes keep at it bro, untill whole rescue team has to save your asses. Definition of stupidity.
This is my worst nightmare! So glad I can see all these amazing “untouched” places without actually trying it and having an absolute panic attack!! Although I can feel my anxiety and claustrophobia rising while watching you squeeze through some of these unbelievably tight places. 😅 You are amazing! Be safe and Enjoy your adventures! Thank you for taking us along. 👍🏼
You are welcome, and we thank you for watching. Caving is an addiction for which the drug of choice is cold silent darkness
Never knew someone could be so happy to see rock. Then rock gets wet. Whatever satisfies you I guess.
Can't believe it finally happened! I remember one of my previous comments was about how this is literally my worst fear. Glad you're okay, but definitely convinced you're nuts!
We had to go look for it. Most of our caves don't fill with water. But we found on during a terrible terrible storm.
@@CalvinHikes how much do you make doing this?
@@harvester6635 not sure he even does this as a job I think it's a hobby, but not sure. (So only youtube money maybe?)
@@CalvinHikes you found it during a terrible storm and still went in?
Sheesh
@Arthur Rankin yep
Thanks for making these so educational. My grandpa used to always talk about caving and spelunking but now I finally understand how interesting it all is. Those tree casts are unbelievably cool.
Your welcome yes I agree the tree casts are a real phenomenon.
One of the more unique things of the caves in this area. Some are super complex. Theres a huge log jam here called complex city. Its miles of these logs all linked together.

@@Adeply11 I'm working on it. I make it a point now as soon as I wake up to think of my blessings and be thankful. I want to face each day as a new opportunity to help someone. Thank you for your encouragement! I hope you have a wonderful day
@@timeforachange237 Take it ez. Good luck & be blessed.
Your utter state of calm and patience is truly remarkable and admirable in every way, especially for a new caver like myself. Just to see you in a tight spot, not overreacting, not hyperventilating, just slowly inching your way to the next spot is so motivating for me and I have fallen in love with the caves all because of you. Thank you thank you! Thank you. And as always, safety first!
Well I'm glad that you're enjoying caving yourself.
"Happier people have low expectations"
My curiosity about caving is teaching me so many other little things about life! ☺️
This study was done in Europe. And it wasn't that people expected bad things it was more along the lines that they didn't expect everything to go their way. Expecting every traffic light to be green is a good way to get mad in traffic.
Something like that. The expectation for only good things to happen is the reason that we are all the entitlement generation. We feel entitled to goodness and happiness and it's just not true. Lowering that bar a bit actually results more happiness.
@@CalvinHikes So true! A little change in perspective makes all the difference and it's much harder to be disappointed if you don't have expectations going in.
Oh and congratulations on 100,000 subs! 🎉
@@CalvinHikes What Kind of Nonsense is this!??? How old you exactly?? Because you look my age or at least Close to it and I can tell you right away that my Generation Actually Worked for a Living and Expected Nothing but that which was due from Sacrifice and hard work.
I was Born in 68.
If anyone can Share the " little things about life " that Caving is " Teaching " them, that would be Wonderful! Happy to hear anything at all, even something as drole as Patience.
@@Cornelius456 your generation worked for a living just like every generation, except for some reason you also expect to be admired solely based on that. Sounds like entitlement to me. Also the guy was giving good advice, and you somehow made it about yourself and got mad about it (which also screams entitlement lmao)
@@CalvinHikes well said brother!
This cave allowed me to feel that I was in it. I almost completely felt the terror of being there. Very beautiful and amazing cave, but terrifying 😳 as well.
It's such an interesting and pretty cave
@@CalvinHikes shut up
Plus the music is perfect for it 🙈
You can tell he’s getting hypoxic when he starts convincing himself that wheat bread actually tastes good. 😳😂🤣
Lol! You are grasping the nuances of cave chatter quickly!
Whole wheat bread is the best thing ever, we make it at home all the time.
Taste like fart most of the time but every now and then, you crave it and it's amazing.
I went to a famous cave site in sweden and when I went caving in one of the tightest caves there I got stuck for a while. And then I saw a big spider crawling like 20 cm from me. And I just sat there frozen. I have never been scared of spiders. But now my biggest fear when caving is meeting a spider. Even if there are no dangerous spiders in sweden I was still terrified
We have clusters of spiders fall on our faces at times. You can see this on some of our videos. We are visiting their place. We tolerate each other
I would rather choose a spider rather than a snake yikes
@@billsanders9387 I'm not built like you guys im terrified of spiders
@@billsanders9387 I have a deep phobia about spiders. But, as a Mom I had to make some peace with them in order not to pass my fear along to Kidlet. When we moved to the farm, I made a deal with them. They get the outside 40 acres, I claim the upstairs in the house. We share the basement.
Occasionally I must evict a trespasser. I allow them to run across my body if I'm gardening outside. But. Falling on my face. Wow. Now that Kidlet is grown I don't think I could muster that amount of self control.
@@jamesm4871 if I was stuck in a cave and had a giant spider come at me I would just rocket out of the ground like a geyser lol
I came across your channel yesterday; and I would like to say how amazing you guys are at your profession, and I’m wishing y’all great cave sessions and safety! Thank you so much for the education as well
Thank you and...
Welcome to the dark frontier.
Man, Oscar is a legend. He's literally underground, in a cave with tight squeezes and tunnels, while it's flooding, and what is he doing? Calmly explaining how to make the quintessential PB&J.
He makes a GREAT PBJ
Came across a clip of yours on Reddit. Your channel fills my soul with something that i cant explain. I dont think id ever cram my self into the situations you get into. However, caving looks like something id do standing up. Keep up the fantastic content!
As a firefighter I need to get used to crawling through narrow spaces and your videos really help me building the right mindset for the Job 🙏
You are welcome to watch them all. Thanks for what you do. Let us know if you ever need a cave rescue team.

I love how he had to tell himself he was safe to calm himself down what a gut wrenching experience
The main thing about cave chatter is to calm the nerves and displace anxiety. Caveman’s dad
@@billsanders9387 I've heard this before! It's a way to trick your mind into calmness.. there is 0 room for error when you are caving
I love seeing how calm you are while doing all of this. And you also provide fun facts along the way!!! I'm glad I found you ❤️
Thank you! Calm is essentially what the channel is about. The caving a incidental.
I randomly found this channel, and I've been amazed ever since. It's great that you make these videos, because it lets me see places that I'd never see otherwise.
I'm hooked. Everytime a video of yours pops up, I have to watch it.
But it's incredible to see all of this, so thank you for making these.
Welcome to the dark frontier. Video production is slow these days but we are still out here. Second Channel as well.
This is brilliant footage and gives a very good look at what world exists beneath our feet .
The tree parts are fascinating.
Yellow tree molds are really an interesting part of this landscape.
Please Be careful with flooding caves..
The Mossdale incident is a good reminder...of what can happen.
Our preparation includes studying the mistakes of others. Caving is our life...not our death. Thanks for watching

@@CalvinHikes Of course I'm a huge fan! You guys are inspiring ❤
I love your videos Caveman Hikes! I'm extremely claustrophobic so its a very nice sense of relief watching you, your friends, and your son all bravely go through these impossibly closed corridors of these caves. What a beautiful craft you have perfected. Have fun spelunking! Keep up the great content guys, liked & subbed. 😁
Thank you and welcome to the dark frontier
This is actually my worst nightmare. Either to be buried alive or stuck in a place where I cannot move underground. I once wrote a quote in high school that said "to travel through the essence of darkness, beyond the shadows of light, is the only way to overcome your fears". I would try this at least once but not in this tight of spaces
There are worse fears.
@@CalvinHikes shut up
My worst fear is getting kidnapped by people who proceed to blind me, jab out my ear drums, cut off my tongue, and my arms and limbs and have a doctor present keep me trapped alive in my own body with no way to communicate anymore
Thank you so much for all the time you put into your videos! I love watching them.
Thanks for understanding the challenge. The time factor Calvin puts into making the video is at least 10 times caving hours.
Caveman’s dad.
Glad to see a new post during winter, stay safe and keep exploring!!!
We've been doing some lowland caving lately and really having fun.
I really like your combination of live commentary and voice over you have a really great way of explaining things for the layperson
Thank you so much
Amazing, fascinating and terrifying in equal measure! I was scared just watching it on a screen and you really brought it to life. You show the rest of us places we'd never normally get to see, so thank you and stay safe!
Great comment. The Great Creator does some amazing work. We are just enjoying being first ones to visit these museums.
It's amazing how you guys always seem to find the exit. It's like you have "escape rope" from pokemon or something
Once we are in a cave basically all we are doing is looking for a way out.
This is so cool! Thank you filming this and posting it!
Thanks for watching
Man your vids have me on the edge of my seat the entire time, thanks for videoing your adventures, definitely the only way I'm ever seeing any of those places!!!
These videos brought right to your home by your crazy new friends. Thanks for watching.
You seem like awesome people. I admire your passion for pushing yourselves through these caves
Love this videos! I would love to see more mapping of new caves! Extraordinary, educational, and jaw dropping content.
We map all the new caves, but it takes a great deal of time. Remember, it is very cold underground. 🤪
I am obsessed with your guys’ channel lol. When I first started watching I would squeam the whole time, now I actually kind of want to try myself
wonderful. It's super fun!
I've _once_ gone in a cave that involved squeezing through a narrow, partially submerged passage on my belly... glad I had the experience, but also completely satisfied never to do it again. Even without claustrophobia (and knowing this cave system was thoroughly mapped) it's hard not to be aware the margin of survivability is just a couple inches - that much more water or less headroom up ahead would mean you're scooting into your tomb. No thanks.
whoa, I almost started crying like a little b****, and I'm not even inside the cave. Getting stuck in some tight cave with water flooding must be the absolute scariest experience ever, I mean why do it... wow.
No one understands our answer to “Why?”
Hi from the UK! So I stumbled across your channel and decided to give a video a watch. Absolutely INSANE! I absolutely love nature and exploration but no way I would do this or what you have done in your other videos! Mad respect guys! Keep the amazing footage coming but keep safe!
Appreciate you watching and your comments. We are just having fun in our weird underground way. Sorry about out terrible attempt at UK accents in the outtake.
I'm glad that you are very cognizant of the risks involved, and take precautions to err on the safe side considering the conditions. Thank you for providing great footage and educational dialog to further the understanding of caving.
Great comment, my friend. We love caving, but love life even more. God bless.
Every time I see one of your videos and hear you say "why aren't you panicking" I know the answer is supposed to be "because if you get stuck you just get unstuck the same way" but this video title is one of the first things I think about.
So cool to see the tree casts (and everywhere else y'all go), but my breathing gets labored just watching.
We deal with similar heart and breath rebellion, but the mind is key to success. We mitigate danger. Just enjoy.
Those squeezes freak me out the most, and also the hidden drops. I can’t imagine what it would be like to get lost and end up in a spot where you can’t turn around or inch your way back out. If you keep going, the odds are not in your favor that you will not eventually encounter something like that...
We really prepare better than most understand. Caving is a bit crazy, but we mitigate the big risks. Thanks for watching
Althought sometimes I feel anxious watching your videos I still can't stop because it really amazes me! I wonder if you guys work out and stay fit for caving, I imagine you would need some strenght in your arms and legs to push through those caves! I love your work, keep it up! Much love and support from Italy!
Yes general health is usually fine. I know that the guys I cave with including myself all are actively exercising.
Most of the exercise simply allows me to cave more often as it is exhausting. So I can cave several times a week all day without getting too tired.
For the past 2 weeks I'm watching your channel and I really like your videos I'm learning about different types of cave.
wonderful! Welcome to the dark frontier.
@@CalvinHikes Thanks for having me it's a blessing
I can already imagine how scary this would be, also maybe you could explore more of hell hole. I really like the little cool figures like in Bhuda room. It would be cool if you explored a mine.

I need to be honest with you, I get horrible anxiety watching this but the way you talk to the camera you’re so sure of yourself that I actually feel pretty damn good watching your video at least this one you show a lot of confidence which helps me breathe
It helps us breathe too. We plan each adventure well, as mitsakes are not allowed.

Those are very kind words!
Excellent adventure as usual. I always enjoy the talks you give while in the worst possible position.
It keeps my mind off being in the worst possible position. Thanks for watching
So my first and really only caving experience was Cumberland caverns going through a beginners passage called Fat Man's Squeeze. They called it that because even a bigger person could fit through it with some effort and without the claustrophobia. I couldn't imagine having to basically flop like a fish to make a millimeter of movement to get through some of these squeezes. I'll happily watch from behind my screen.
Thanks guys!
This channel was recommended to me, it seems interesting and your passion for it is obvious. That being said... my heart race is increasing and some scenes make feel literally sick watching from the claustrophobia. Hats off to you, they look like amazing places but I think its not for me xD
If you can just imagine the joy of first discovery, all while very well prepared for any situation, you may enjoy it some.

Great comment. We’re not all wired the same. Hope you enjoy our flavor of crazy. Caveman’s dad
I certainly get the desire to explore, but I would never do anything in a place as tight as this.
Many folks say how terrifying all this looks... But I would like to point out how cool is that we got to see an underground water erosion in process. Such a unique footage .Also reminds me about those underground rivers that we have beneath our feet.
This is the second longest erosional cave in the world. The first longest is just a few miles down the hill. These water piping caves are usually subject to collapse pretty quickly. But not when they're ceiling is lava!
This channel just absolutely terrifies me. You both have balls of steel
The fact that you have the time to reply everyone:' ) how beautiful
Sometimes. We like answering questions and giving weirdos a hard time. ; )
Been here since before 100 subs and I'll say it again: in a short time your channel will be famous in YT. Thanks for the awesome content as usual!

We were equally as happy with 100! Still just out here having a good time. Thank you for your support.
Calvin I´ve Said this before and i will say it again, Your channel deserves millions of views and subscribers. Truly Scary video but still very interesting! Keep it up!
Thank you.
I don't really know what deserve means. We feel fortunate that anybody is interested. We like sharing but our lives are not different for the amount of people that watch. We are just out here havin a good time.
I get the feeling this channel will blow up in no time at all, which I agree they absolutely deserves, this is high quality and extremely unique content!
for me there isn't anything important enough in a cave to risk dying, and there are so many stories of people dying from cave floods
Sounds scary.
This Vid definitely got the heart rate up 😂 Awesome Vid, keep the content coming! 👌
TY. Caving gets our heart rate up.
Reminds me of the Bonnechere caves in Eganville Ontario that flood every year and are pumped out in the summer months for tourists to wander.
Always a great adventure to watch your videos.

I'm claustrophobic but love watching your videos. I do get a little anxious just watching you guys..LOL..watching you, I get anxious. I grew up in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area and as kids, we used to go down to old coal mines. These were made by families during the depression for coal so they were not professionally dugout. It was scary but fun! As I got older I noticed my claustrophobia. I would love to cave dive with professionals like you guys.
Relax and enjoy the show. These caves were made by the Pro of all pros.
This is a great video it's very interesting the best I've ever watched so far thank you I'm learning a lot.
Thank you so much! It was a very pretty cave. And it's actually extremely long. There are 2 different kinds of caves that intersect to make one huge cave. Is half erosional and galf lava tube.

Absolute mad lads. Being inside a flooded cave is nightmare fuel. Here you have these guys out searching for water in these tight passages. I'm going to have nightmares of this after just watching safely from my home.

Gracias. Todos es Verdad!
I have caved for many years and been through some tight squeeze but never through a tree cast and I never will. You boys are hard core lava cavers. Y'all wouldn't catch me in that kind of cave, I'll stick to limestone.
The advantage of limestone is that it's pretty easy to slip through well crawling. But it's also easier to slip downward into a dangerous crack. We mostly have lava tubes here and while they are super rugged it also allows plenty of grip against some dangers. So we take the good with the bad.
I’ve just found your channel. I am amazed at what you guys do.
Thanks. Welcome to the dark frontier
This makes me miss caving so much! Although I'd never go as far as you did here. If I see too much moving water I'm gone haha. Balls of steel on you mate!
Get back underground bro! There are many dry caves and much larger ones out there.
I admire what you do.
Since when I was a kid I always wanted to know where a path in the woods is heading etc., so I know very well this urge to explore, which can be stronger than other fears we encounter during the exploration. Finding the heart of a cave must be a priceless thing.
Priceless indeed. Our whole family is wired that way. If it’s our in the boonies, it needs to be explored. We saw a sign pointing to a waterfall near a busy highway. It was nice, but we went back with climbing gear and have found 13 more major falls up the box canyon. Life is to be lived exploring. Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing to the end when they get out. Its so consoling
People beg for that. So we show it. But it's the worst part for us. The best part is going IN the cave!
mannnn been binge watching your vids lol still freaks me out but i love it!
Welcome to the dark frontier
Calvin: "Water is one of the real, actual dangers of caving"
Also Calvin:
Yes! I was wondering about the hypothermia he mentioned in the video you’re referring too
When you said "let's talk about forgiving yourself", I was like oh gosh here we go and was about to stop watching, but then you quickly said "I'm just kidding" I was excited to stay and it made me laugh a bit
Well I do like to poke at philosophy now and then, but not too much on these videos. We may be silly but we take our caving pretty serious.
Well I was expecting the opposite, if someone is at peace enough to philosophyze in a place like this I'm willing to listen carefully.
I get stressed out watching these, thinking of everything that can go wrong, even though I know I will never put myself in this situation. You guys have balls of steel 👍
But it goes according to the incredible preparation. Thanks for watching
I can't stop watching you guys go through the caves it's very educational you're very good at narrating your progress Jacob is awesome sometimes I feel bad for him going in first and to the small areas but after seeing him do it through a few caves I could tell he just loves doing what he's doing and Calvin I could tell you do too so keep up the good work be sure to give all the warnings about caving with a guide you guys are great

"It is our way of living, not our way of dying"-Caveman That is probably one of the most meaningful lines I have heard in my life, idk how to describe it, but whenever watching your videos all I sense from you is feelings of joy and peace as you explore these caves. Not sure if you will see this comment, but I just wanted to say thanks, your videos give me courage in a sense to continue to do even the most difficult things. Think I'll take a shot at cave exploring sometime in the near future, thanks for being you and stay safe
Thanks!
It's not even about exploring caves it's about getting outside yourself and possibly outside your house.
It's funny the diversity of opinions. Many people see our videos and think we are absolutely suicidal. While they sit at home motionless and watch videos of other people's lives. And they ask what's the point in what we are doing.
Since I’ve never been caving I would really like to know specifically how taxing it is on you, and has there ever been a caving situation where you didn’t think you had the strength to continue? Btw keep up the great work and of course stay safe👍
I think it's important to maintain pretty top notch health. But like any activity you have to know your own limitations. Caving is not hard if you just take a small chunk. I can do pretty hard core caving for days on end without much recourse.
Very much enjoying your videos. What I like to do is wait 'til you're in a particularly tight passage, and then leisurely stretch my arms and legs out and thank god I am not there with you :) I'm never going to be the sort of person that does this, but I am very grateful that you do so we can see all the interesting things. Keep up the great work !
Sorry about being so slow to comment. Our legs and arms took a while to get operational again.
Literally anxiety in a youtube channel, yall are crazy man.
Keep up the awsome content!
Tried normal once. Didn’t work. Thanks for watching
I watch your videos during my anxiety attacks and they help a lot but the weird thing is I’m claustrophobic but don’t feel it watching y’all lol
They make it seem fun and not so dangerous
Your comment is really cool. Caving demands strong mind control, and we have overcome much in the process too. Good on you!
