Awesome Cave 😍 Your subscribers will likely enjoy my caving channel here is a link: youtube.com/@cravingcaving
Thanks for the post guys 🙏
If is anyone is craving more caving, Dean is a friend, very ambitious caver and a good video maker.
@@CalvinHikes ❤️ Thanks Cal!
Will sub!
@@hellosunshine2826 thank you so much!! 🙏
I saw his grandpa at the store
These guys are the real deal, these guys literally map caves for USGS! Professionals 100%!
And then, occasionally have to update them. Thanks for watching.
@@billsanders9387 so is this an update for the mapthen
I wonder if a person is obligated to tell their life insurance agent about this hobby.
@@Nightmareman3 Only when he joins us in a cave.
Of course I am the leading authority on such matters. For me it all started when I was in the military and became a combat and wilderness survival expert after years of extensive battle action in war zones and it made me the elite , simply the best of the best, Then I decided to travel the world and of course I was damaged from all the war zones I had been in so I got in trouble as I roamed the world and this put me in the most dangerous maximum security prisons in the world were I didn't just survive but I thrived and became the top of the food chain in prison. But I paid the price for my ultimate indiscretions , then as I got freed the UFC was just starting a woman division and I said to Dana no need to pay me I'll do this stuff for free. Naturally the woman division was in its infancy so I dominated and there was talks of me fighting men because I was that SUPERIOR . These days I live off the grid in a life of solitude with nature. BUT of course with all my training I am the best of the best, so if I ever see a chopper on the horizon followed by a squad of police I know I am about to be summoned on a mission of madness to save people stranded in caves. I am the very best and when all else fails they come and get me to take care of business
Hot off the press we just finished this cave! Merry Christmas and happy New Year.
Currently outdoing some great lowland caving during Jacob's Winter break. Found some super dangerous caves! Those adventures coming soon.
Happy New Year, Crazy Cavemen ✌🏻😄
Is Jacob your son? sorry new here
Mad respect for the older fellow traversing that cave like a boss!
Thanks, Miles. Did my first cave in 1957. It’s a great addiction. BadDad.
@@billsanders9387 respect 😎
@@billsanders9387new fans here sir
@@raudatuljannah6916 I usually wear orange so they can locate my carcass if necessary. Knowing the Great Creator is essential.
@@billsanders9387stay safe buddy. Not many things I won't do. I skydive, I hang from the edge of roofs every day with no harness 50-60 ft high. But no way will I try to squeeze through a crack like a mouse. NO WAY JOSE
I don’t understand how this is fun. It is giving me nightmares just watching it.
And that’s the fun of it. Welcome to the darkness underground.
The way these are narrated is SO FUN! Listening to the creative narration is honestly half of the enjoyment for me!
Well that is a great compliment thank you very much. We're still learning how to make these videos but it is fun. And the caving is fun too!
I can't get enough of these videos. As much as they give me anxiety. It's mind blowing. Thank you for taking us with you 🙏🤍
Love the prayers. Can’t get enough of them.
Just the way I feel
Thank you for coming along as we are still out here adventuring to the best of our abilities. There was a lot to see in this cave. But there's very little life to see if you only watch others.
If you guys ever need a hole watch, I am in the area and met Grandpa Bill and have his phone number, ill give him a call this spring. I am an outdoors guy and hunter for 31 years. Or maybe I can go with Grandpa and keep him company, but ya won't see me doing the things you guys are doing, this is really a VERY VERY UNDERRATED EXTREME SPORT!!! It takes extreme energy, strength, smarts and very few people in the world can do this! I liked the Ape Caves a few times but that's about all I am going to do LOL I just love being in the woods exercising and enjoying the fresh air and wildlife. I know where there's some old mines but looks like you guys are doing more natural caves. Seems to be a LOT of caves near big mountains the old Volcano lava flows. Great entertainment watching lol I also have extra hand held radios and other outdoors stuff, I'm pretty strong if needing to pull a fella up by rope or what not. Keep up the great content guys!
@@miketyson8933onsidering that you’re only a subscriber for 38 minutes I can make the conclusion that you don’t really follow their content but ok
@@Alex26894 nah dude youre a bigger fan for being subbed longer man! grow up lmfao.
@@miketyson8933 Grandpa here. I look forward to sharing a cave or two when the snow leaves. There are a few we snowshoe to in the Winter, as the underground temp down not vary much in the caves.
Stay in touch and God bless.
You guys should upload on this channel again, it's much more popular than your other one and would make more income.
I tried to resist watching RUclips tonight... but I caved 🙂 Another awesome video!
Great comment. Thanks for caving.
Punny he he
Nice play on words.
:3 I would bring very strong nutritional supplements (especially for non-vegans who barely consume veggies and fruits, and the fact soil is so awful in most of the world, leading to high deficiencies), power banks, several long-range walkie-talkies, extra flashlights, pepper spray (I carry that in general), loads of water (especially since about 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated, etc.
Make sure to alert others above ground in case you don't come back at a certain time. I've never explored caves, but that's what I would do.
I really appreciate your vlogs and the ambient sounds you add into the edits. There is a supreme sense of peace and joy when watching your cave vlogs, despite the looming sense of claustrophobia that is felt through the screen. Merry Christmas. Stay safe!
Awesome! Thank you so much. Peace and joy are what our videos are all about! The caving is incidental I assure you.
That's living.
Merry Christmas.
It’s a great way to live indeed!
Man, this looks intense. You guys keep doing what you're doing!
😁👍
Thanks and we will
Ever since discovering your channel a little while back it's been amazing to go through and watch the adventures yall go on. Seeing Jacob grow up and maybe even a little bit of living vicariously through you guys. Cheers, unc! And happy holidays. Glad you 3 are safe and ready to find another cave for another day.
If Jacob doesn’t stop growing, we’ll leave him at home! 🤪
I just found this ever since I watch the last decent it’s crazy how people can be down there in narrow caves like I get claustrophobic not for me
@@kevintrejo6714 We tried driving in cities and on freeways. Even our caving gear had road rage! That wasn’t our cup of tea at all. Back to the mines!
"I'm out of metaphors, but Jacob continues downwards." Love the narration, sir. Certainly made me smile.
Thank you! I'd like to keep it serious on the narration most of the time but I am no longer able to help myself.
@@CalvinHikes Comedy is food for the soul. Feel free to feed us.
jacob is such a professional at his craft. excellent video
Thank you! Yes he's a very reliable caver. I trust him
Just found the paper with your number on it from our chat at the Columbia River there. Im a subscriber now! Keep up the safe work fellas!
So glad you followed up, Mike. We are real, and the invite means we hope to show you a hole in the mountains one of these days.
Thank you for the Christmas present. I needed this. Such a beautiful cave. I know the pictures absolutely do no justice to the colors. Always love your adventures. Be safe and merry Christmas and happy new year.
Angela, we always appreciate your comments. This cave has so much to offer. Merry Christmas.
Caveman and the cave rats
I pray that you guys stay safe and never get stuck
We are hoping that we do, so we will see who gets what.
Love you guys! It makes me so happy seeing families do things together like you guys do! Stay safe!
The family that caves together…is strange indeed! Thanks for watching.
I used to hardly be able to even watch this, and now I find it enjoyable, so I'm convinced that maybe someday I could stomach crawling through a cave too 😂 thanks for all the awesome content!
We started with easy but remote walking caves, and gradually advanced to the more challenging ones.
@@billsanders9387ur not even the real account
This is one of the coolest videos yet! Thank you guys!
Nice comment. Thanks much.
Was so happy to see this video posted today.
Merry Christmas!
Right back atcha, Brian.
Merry Christmas to Jacob & your family!!! WR🇦🇺❤️🙏🏻👊🏼🔥
Wait til the family opens their gifts. We gave cave maps this year.
This stuff is absolutely terrifying and I'm happy you guys do this stuff so I don't have to, great content!
Glad you enjoy watching. We just love the great dark underground.
Tbh it’s really not that bad, the worst stuff is when you can’t see where your feet are going but if you got a guide then you’re chillin
Your videos never disappoint. I always look forward to seeing what cave adventure you guys embark yourselves on. This cave and surroundings looks like my home state of Oregon. The greenery is identical.
Keep pushing awesome content, 2023 is the year you reach 1 million subs! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
We do quite a bit in Oregon. This one is not too far North of the Columbia. Merry Christmas.
That's quite the squeeze!! Awesome video guys. Hope your family has a safe, happy, healthy Christmas and new year! 🥰👍
Wish we could get thru the snow to cave on Christmas.
You guys are incredible. Absolutely love the videos, every time I'm shocked at the places you put yourself in the name of geology and exploration
And in the name of the most relaxing pursuit on the planet.
Big fan of the song you used at the end, twilight train🤠
Great stuff as always👍
Yall are awesome ❤ i found your videos about 1 week ago and I love them. ❤️ im very claustrophobic but i can't stop watching. Yall stay safe ❤
Awesome guys!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!🔥🔥🔥💯
🔥
Amazing video! Super interesting as always! I love you guys, looking forward to the next adventure!
The one that you accompany us? 🤔
Beautiful cave. Thanks for taking us along.
So much mor to explore in this beast.
Awesome view from in there....
Thanks for bringing this to us viewers as it's the only way I'd see this. Again THANKS GUYS!
Fun cave. Turned out to be quite long. Over 3000 feet.
Some of those rock textures are wonderful
Beyond imagination at times.
Thank you guys and merry Christmass
2U2.
OMG I always fast forward to the end to make sure you all made it out then start over and watch the whole video.
I've never met a dead caver. So I think they always get out.
@@CalvinHikes that’s a very positive way to look at things but it helps with my anxiety while watching. Great vids, thanks.
Another 16 minutes of great entertainment! Thanks
You can’t believe how many hours of caving are reduced to 16 min. Merry Christmas, and thanks for watching.
Nice video as always! You guys rock 💪🏻
And on rock too. Thanks much!
You guys are wild!
This is safer than freeways.
Glad to see you guys back. Top quality content and always gut wrenching to watch 😂
Toughest on knees and elbows to do.
I loved the editing and narration of this video and all your videos I've seen so far. "I've ran out of metaphors" LOL! You guys are absolutely amazing. So skilled and so tough under pressure. Keep it up.
Thank you. I really did just get bored narrating this.
Top notch narration my guy! Great job
Thanks. That part takes much longer than the cave exploration.
Merry Christmas guys I’ve been waiting for another AWESOME video❤️✌🏽
To you too.
What makes your videos amazing is the graphics that show the tunnels and the person in 2D. I like these diagrams!
Thanks. It takes more time, but also created more accurate maps.
ohhh i like the soundtracking.
well done, guys! Merpy Holimas!
Lil sus but I'll accept
Man some of those spots were tight. Freaked me out a little. Good shot of St. Helens. My favorite mountain! Merry Christmas!
We work the “Helen”quite a bit. Grandpa explored old mines on it in ‘66.
@@billsanders9387 very cool, I love it up there.
This is nuts!! You have to have nerves of steal… I freak out just watching this!
Christmas morning upload - yes please!
Haven't seen a video in my subfeed in months. Glad to finally see this one.
We've posted several videos in the last few months.
@@CalvinHikes RUclips has been selectively putting videos in subfeeds lately. A few channels have been giving me the same issue where I'm subbed but don't see videos.
U guys are funny .. 3 generations of cavers thats just too cool. If i ever went into a cave id have to go with u guys..
Which generation would you be most like?
Awesome photo of you 3 at the end, great vid guys 🤙
Thanks much. Three generations in the dark.
I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. Take care of you...
Thanks you too
you guys rock ! keep up and happy holidays !
So, we rock on rock. Merry Christmas to you.
@@billsanders9387 than you !
Merry Xmas Calvin n Jacob 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thanks, merry Christmas Siyabonga
Fantastic narration! Great geological info too (from a geologist). Subscribed and looking forward to the end of Spring when I can go caving again!
I'm positive you can go caving now! Get out those snow shoes! Let's go...
@@CalvinHikes I wish! :) There aren't any actual caves in my area outside of one park in the next state over and it's expensive to get in and closed for the season because of the snow. When the weather gets better I can go south and west to get to the other caves :)
Love your channel
Why thank you
love your videos
Kinda bat crazy, eh? 😂
Thanks for bringing us along with you😎👀
Next time we’ll bring an extra sandwich for you.
Awesome cave
Be safe always cave man
11:58 I love this part where the metaphors are being dropped, left and right, and then a fourth wall was broken.😂 I could never do anything like this, but I enjoy watching these videos so much.
Nice comment. Enjoy the show.
amazing and I kept thinking om... boys... you need to go back... Hope you all have a good holiday.
We have returned, and explored more. It is incredible. Holiday blessings to you too.
Let's just paws for a moment
Our humor needs some work, but it isn’t natural for us. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Europe has some of deepest caves in the world, have you ever considered travelling over to explore any of them? Love the channel, always so impressed by your passion to explore and bravery while doing so.
Waiting for the tickets. 🤪
can't believe i haven't found this channel earlier! learning all about caves while watching you guys explore new areas is incredible
+1 for the orange monster
You're right on time
Orange monster here. First cave was in 1957. Welcome to the dark side.
I'm really surprised how much lighting you have to share your experience with your viewers. It actually feels like we are crawling through these nooks and crannies by your side.
We carry enough light to last about 2 weeks. Lots of big bright lights for the sake of the video. It actually makes it more fun when we are on the cave as well. Because the darkness can get to a person after a while.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Merry Christmas to you too.
"i'm out of metaphors" lollll
And we’re out of knee pads.
Guys, you blow my mind ! Bravo !
*bows*
You guys are incredible I like your philosophical breaks in between too. Thanks for reinvigorating my exploratory spirt.
You're welcome! That's really what it is is that Spirit of discovery. Just wild exploration is so fun.
thanks for showing this .
A very fun cave. We’ll go back.
your passion is inspiring. i like how you explain your situation through out your vids, it brings ease that its not some random guy going in a cave but a professional!
I appreciate that!
May God bless you!
He loves us for checking out His creation!
Thank you for the upload, I will be watching this tonight.. in my wide open bed😊
Well, thanks for watching. Rest well. B
thumbnail giving strong nutty putty cave picture flashbacks!
The cave that is bringing so many curious viewers.
Truly inspirational to see a 76-year-old man down there doing that it just amazing. And that was something I would never see in truly awesome witness.
Much respect for Jacob.. Going threw those tight spaces.. I no he is safe cause you would never put him in danger.. Even tho if I went with you. You couldn't get me to go threw the tight spaces he goes threw.. RESPECT
Jacob picks his challenges very well.
OMFG you guys have nerves of steel.
And knees of scar tissue!
Love and respect you lads and you're uploads please be careful brothers 🇬🇧 🏴
Thank you! We will not be careful.
Nice video Merry Christmas 🎄 🎅
And New Year’s blessings to you.
I'd love to see you guys backing up from long, tight places.
We do some backing up in a few videos. But it's rarely necessary.
I hope you guys had a good Christmas and New Year ♡ I hope to see more great content soon.
Santa gave us more caving gear!
When you popped out the hole at 4:28 ish it reminded me of Ace Ventura 2 when he came out the arse of the rhino lol. Great videos and much respect for what you do
Awesome analogy. Your kind words are appreciated.
Im never sure whether watching your videos makes me really want to do this or really want to never ever do this😂 Either way, you guys are incredible! So cool that y’all have multiple generations doing this together. Sending love♥️
Well, you may have to try it and see how you feel. Hint: We haven’t encountered others in our caving pursuits. These are very remote.
There's some Gold in some of those reactions! Would be cool to do some test drill holes ; )
We leave only footprints, and take only memories. That’s why these caves are kept secret.
12:30 kinda looks like a xeno hive. If ya know, ya know. Wonderful adventures chaps, thanks for sharing.
Yeah that's one of my favorite parts about the caves. It's like one big naturak Gieger art exhibit.
Our newest video is a cave thatOur newest video is a cave that is the most like that i've ever seen. All that dripping lava turned chromish.
I'm out of metaphors, but Jacob continues down. Haha love your added humour
As Jacob at 3:36 it sounded like a body was being dragged xD This is so cool to watch! I loved these videos
Jacob is just as cool in real life. Super laid back and quiet.
That is a beautiful cave
8:51 *precedes to crawl through it*
That’s how we think…every day!
Love the Herzog narration! I'm out of metaphors. Lol!
It's funny I was not trying to be like her dog but... I always aspire for any style that resembles Herzog.
I love that blend of bizarre documentary and reality. Sometimes breaking the 4th wall sometimes building new walls just to break them down. He's my favorite film weirdo. Your comment makes my day.
Jacob is a mad lad! Crazy crack to attempt
His mind has to know. His body follows.
Such an amazing cave.
Jeff, this cave is still amazing us.
What an amazing cave wow
Still showing it’s beauty. Thanks for watching
I wish I could have a family as trusting and brave as yours. Cheers to the still nimble Orange Monster and Jacob!
Make that family.
NEW VIDEO YESSIR
Game on!!
I really enjoy watching your videos, once I'm done hyperventilating. I know I don't have to say be careful, but I'm going to say it anyway, "Please Be Very Careful"! I want to continue to watch these exciting, heart racing videos. So again, be safe and take care!
We cave to relax. The rest of the world makes us hyperventilate.
We will not be careful!
❤these guys are the goat
Thanks buddy, we wouldn't be the Goat without people like you.
I could never do it. So I love watching people that can.
There are probably things you can do that we cannot do. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas
The title looks like something from an appropriate website
that older fella is badass ! huge respect from 🇮🇳
Thanks…from bad dad. 75 with no intentions to quit. First cave was in 1957.
