I remember these guys when I lived in Iowa down in the basements of my childhood home. 100's of them. Very docile spiders.
73 years old and doing things like this, what a absolute beast!
73 years old paah! Congrats!! Life is waaaaaaay to short!! God bless everyone!! enjoy every single second everyone!!!!!! ❤️✌️
Family togetherness is quite the challenge with my boys. They all love life on the edge. Bad dad.
@@billsanders9387 You guys are awesome ❤ I pray 🙏 that I can live a long and happy life like you sir ❤
I took my wife caving for her first time 7 years ago and she got hooked. I'm pretty good at controlling my fears but I get silently freaked out crawling underground. Keep it to myself so I don't get others nervous over nothing.
I just found your channels a month ago and I cant stop watching you and Jacob!
I used to sit on the edge of my seat and cringe and I've been starting to relax... and cringe hahaha!
I'm a little guy with a spinal cord injury and I'm extremely flexible so we are looking into some more intense crawls this year. Figured crawling could be good adventuring for someone like me lol
Love it guys keep crawling!
I like the less edited versions of your vids on Even Darker but I watch both perspectives.
We are all a bit silently freaked out aren't we! Thank you for the kind words. And good luck with all your adventures keep letting us know how it goes.
Your dad is hilarious, and an genuinely interesting fellow
Yeah he is quite the individual. And he has led quite the life and probably has much more to live and do.
Your dad has the right idea. Staying active at that age is key. I am about 15 years younger than your dad here. I do biking, swimming and always kayaking to the many islands that are a few miles away from my home out on the water.
You guys ever visit Florida, you're welcome to come adventure with us. We may not have any local caves where I am at locally. But lots of water based island adventures.
Almost equally as dangerous as the rip tides out here take a few souls every year for those who don't understand how it all works.
I make it a point to take my boat out and rescue the younger ones who foolishly kayak out to the islands and get stuck. The ones who try to "make it out" are the ones you have to save. I posted signs up on the islands warning people that if you get out here and the tide hits you wrong you should just spend the night on the island. I store water and leave maps to the buried water supplies for those who do end up out there over night.
Can't save them all, but gives me lots of exercise.
That's very cool and very interesting!
@@EvenDarker Adventuring spirits are always drawn to one another and tend to help each other out when they can no longer help themselves. It is part of our nature.
I hope that you boys start your cave touring business. Nothing better than doing what you love for work. Never have to work another day in your life.
I for one would be very interested in the prospect of something like that with people who are as experienced as you all are.
I sense you boys would do quite well if you did something like that.
That’s very decent of you
Calvin's TedTalk, from inside a lava tube! Great work!
Thank you! Dont throw babies!
My anxiety gets so crazy watching these videos. Idk how you do it. But I do want to say I enjoy the videos so much. This is a really cool channel
Thank you! Our anxiety is often through the roof as well.
I just wanted to say, I love watching you guys! Yes there is some right spots that I don’t breath and my heart races , but I always know you all will make it through!! A special breed , it’s amazing to see parts of the earth that I wouldn’t be able to otherwise! Thank you both!!
You're welcome!
Your dad is great the fake hair thing was so funny God bless u guys
Yes grandpa is the best. No idea where we got our sense of humor!
Calvin I absolutely like your insight on life and the way things are and just general insight too baah!! ✌️
Thank you!
Calvin, I absolutely love listening to you... Your babbling, your opinions, your rants, your philosophy, and your thoughts on "the inner self" .. what an amazing person and personality. I don't know you from Adam but the more I listen to you the more you make perfect sense and your sense of humour is so dry I love it. Thank you for been you and choosing to do these things you do. Oh and your dad is equally amazing. Must be a family thing. Xx
Thank you so much for all the kind words. It is enjoyable to find someone who you like listening to. Maybe who thinks in a similar way but words things slightly different so you learn something about yourself.
I do enjoy that about the Internet but it's entirely different phenomenon when people listen me. Humbling. Anyways, really appreciate the compliment, we enjoy caving and rambling.
Me too , awe ! : )
Can't wait to get back in to them caves. Thankyou for getting me back into something I loved as a kid and in to adult hood.
Thanks CJ 😎🥴☯️
Arwsome Calvin. Phone box in a cave was it doctor who. Hope so wicked.
WA/OR wooden areas like this are amazing. It’s crazy to think those small openings you can see out there can lead you into awesome places like that. Never would have thought.
Its so fun. Even the small caves. Now and then, one a small cave opens up into HUGE elaborate ones.
Your filming is actually first class I gotta say
Thank you!
Daddy you sly ole dog.....
I saw you make the "call". 😂😂😉
Love your work guys, Dad your a total and utter legend.. Stay safe guys
8:28 "oh cool theres spiders"
me: oh cool, I'll see you at the exit!
We encounter cave spiders so frequently that one just ignores them...until a whole beard of spiders fall on your face. They do not taste like chicken. Bad dad.
Everytime I see you going through those caves I'm kicking my feet up and down cuz like I'm going crazy imagining if I was in the same situation
Just inspiring. Thank you.
Just found your channel, love it though I would have a full blown panic attack if I was in there 😂
Welcome to the dark frontier
I can only hope to be as agile and energetic as your Dad when I’m at his age! Kudos Caveman Dad ❤️
No kidding. I think the trick is to never stop hiking and being active.
Dad here. Rumor has it, if we stop moving, someone puts us underground. I’m just checking out the choices.
@@billsanders9387 Love your sense of humor!
I watched all your and Jacobs videos! I wanna go caving now with you two! Be so fun, keep up all the great content.
I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you for the support and the encouragement.
The more i watch your channel the more closer i get to wanting to go caving. Thats the real fear lmaoo
Let's get you all the way there.
You give me sleepless nights. I start watching your videos at 22.00 and when I look at the clock again it is suddenly 04.00. I love your videos. Greetings from germany
My mother's side of the family is German.
You can watch the videos in the daytime too. You can also find lots of wonderful caves in Germany.
ruclips.net/video/9VmzivD3qA4/видео.html
I prefer to watch the videos in the evening because I have more peace. Have you ever been in Germany on a cave hunt?
For being 75 he gets along very good in a jam .He probably has the most calmness of all yall 😅
We're like the least calm family but we fake it pretty well. Honestly! I think we find the outdoors to be a calming influence.
@@EvenDarker yes outside in the nature & in natures doorways to the unknown.
Check out grandpa, still having a go at 73...what a lad!!!
This is anxiety inducing but you guys are super likable and your content is super interesting. Cheers!
Thank you so much that's very kind of you!
The first few times I found your videos I had to close them because they made my stomach churn and my pulse increase. Very much anxiety inducing. Now I can't stop watching them. For the sake of making me feel sick again.... Have you ever gotten stuck for an extended period of time?
Glad you are enjoying the videos! No we've never been very stuck. It's extremely uncommon. We really push the boundaries of safe caving and it's likely that we will never have any problems.
I like too imagine thousands of years ago there’s was a family of hunter and gatherers living in places exactly like the
They would store their food in places like this because it's a freezer.
This lava field is relatively new at about 10,000 years.
You live in an amazing area for exploring new and undiscovered caves! Watching your channel has inspired me to go and check out some of the caves in my local area here in the UK... unfortunately there's noting like this around me, and anything good has to be booked as a tour as far as I can tell, which isn't quite as fun... gonna keep looking though
Maybe try with a tour would be a good beginning ?
Theres hundreds of massive cave systems in the UK. Step one is knowing, step two is finding them. ; )
Glad youre getting out there.
*No, tours arent fun. But hint: where theres tours, theres often other non-tour caves in the area.
@@EvenDarker Oh yea there's definitely many cool caves here in the UK, no fields of lava tubes near me tho... I'm actually hoping to try the Lost Johns Cave, where the guy famously gets 'stuck', once I have a bit more experience and kit. For now I'm starting local and working my way out, I live near to the Peak District and I reckon there may be some lesser known caves, caverns and tunnels to explore first
Your dad is awesome
Yes! I can't believe hes still making these crawls.
73 years old and he went in that cave? thats badass
Yeah he refuses to give up
This reminds me of Working in the Refineries in Houston TX, and we had to work in these very tight and claustrophobic furnaces with masks on, and my immediate thought was Fear and danger. Anyway, looking back I don't know how I did it, but after a few times of going in and out I got used to it. I'm extremely claustrophobic, but at the time it was my job and I had to push through, or go home basically. It's just amazing what the mind can do! I also didn't want to be the scared guy in the Team 😂
Keep up the great work and informative videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, that's one of the tricks! Just getting used to it. I mean even one specific space. Sometimes I will go to a cave and I don't like an area. And I go back and I'll go a little further in. And then I'll go back again and I will make it through the passage and then once I'm comfortable and no I can make it no longer scares me.
But the first time is always pretty scary.
You never come acrox snacks and all.....or what. Enjoyed watching.
There's nothing down here but very cold air and bugs
I wish I had a guts like you....
Dad is hilarious! The moss hair?!
Growing up on a farm, and seeing the piled up lava you came upon, I would call it "cow pie lava"!!!
Yes! Some of it looks exactly like that. I spent half my life on a farm puttin fire crackers inside cow poop. And run!
Too late, babies already tossed
See, they love it.
😂😂😂 he had her before he went into the cave. 😂. another great video!
Many many years before! Bad dad
That 11:05 moment. it was so heartwarming to see.
He hikes great and is in great shape... but at his age, making it through a belly crawl like that is really something.
I need a cure for my anxiety- psychiatrist, " ever tried caving"
That's not terribly far off from my personal journey.
Love this man
Thank you
Thanks for the thrills!
You are welcome. Who would have thought thrills and solitude could be found together. Bad dad.
whered the orange monster go lmao
Hes somewhere. Alive.
thank you so much for your work Calvin!!
i really get so much joy from your content, you’ve enlightened me (& so many others) on the true ways of the caves.
p.s-
i’m also from PNW, do you know of any good caves near southern Washington? (aside from ape caves)
Awesome, thank you!
Lately, this channel and your caveman hikes channel are the only ones i stop and hit play pretty much immediately once i get the notification. Also, can you ask your dad how he maintains such luscious locks on top his head? Gorgeous (lol)
Same here. Both awesome channels
This channel is WAY more fun. Casual and personal. Smaller audience that cares about each other.
The main channel is cruel, but we're using it to make Jacob the most popular caver in the world! : D
@@EvenDarker i am finding myself lately really enjoying this channel, and i hate to say more than it's predecessor, but i just really like the longer raw videos 👍 either way great stuff on both. Jacob, you are a star by the way! 🤘
Ask Calvin to take his hoodie off. You’ll see the family resemblance.
@@billsanders9387 😆 Too-Shay Sir! 👏
u could hide from the universe living in this first cave 😮😮😮
The formation at the end there looks to me that the initial passage had hardened then the magma popped through and poured in to the hardened portion.
It could be. That happens in these lava fields. It's actually clever of you to notice that. We call them intrusions sometimes. There were probably several lava flows over a short period of time. And there have been other lava events on top of that so they get layered and they do intrude upon one another
"What happened to your hair?" Lmao! Can tell he said "fuck you" in his head knowing you're recording.. 🤣
I cannot express how impressed i am of your dad. Unfortunately i think caving is starting to look fun since i'm to fat to to do this 😁
Lol you guys are awesome!!
We are quite normal...which is just a setting on a dryer. Where we live begs to be explored.
Lol I love your dad.
He's really got a second wind out here in the lava fields.
Bad Dad: 73 years old crawling around caves and having fun.
Me: 73 years old sitting on my couch watching Bad Dad.
One of these things is not like the other....😕 smh.
I’m waaaay too ADHD to sit anywhere very long unless waiting outside a cave with extra sandwiches. Bad dad
6:50 smoking like a vampire in a church
This may be funnier than you will ever know.
I hope I can get around like bad dad when I'm 73
Stay active. I’m an avid swimmer, but not at the same time as caving. 🤪
it's very difficult to tell where ground level is maybe in the funky shots you could edit it in just a line for reference
We edit references in some of our videos on the main page. When it is especially hard to tell which way is up.
Our edits on this page are going to be extremely limited by time.
The caves could cave in at anytime right!
Mines cave in. Caves are pretty stable.
@Even Darker ow ok 👍
You could market that moss as a great hair loss cure-all.
Instant hair loss cure!
I’ll try that. Caveman’s bald dad. Btw, thank you for your faithful following and comments.
Spiders in a cave can be dangerous..... Not only Black Widows, brown recluse spiders can be found in some caves, hundreds of them, and they are really dangerous....
I figure I can take a spider in a fight.
Ever thought about getting your hands on a remote camera of some sort (Even handmade) for getting to see those places you cant personally go at the end of caves??
We have a lot of that equipment. we use it when necessary. And we've used it in some of our videos. The camera footage is usually good enough for us to look at but not very fun as RUclips presentation.
@@EvenDarkerThat makes total sense! The best explanation I could ask for! Keep on going what you're doing, giving me and many other crazy anxiety! 😁😉
At the end, I suppose Calvin does look a bit like Sean Connery with the English accent
I'm willing to allow it
happy pretzels! lol
Haven’t had good ones since NYC.
Not being in a cave helps me feel calm, oh yeah, I'm not there, ill avoid caves like a plague, makes feel all peachy inside to not, not , not be there, , like oh my gosh u r , y I won't, i see & it's all i needed , tyvm 4 da heads up ! ☕🍯🍶👍👍 💖🎄
If you can give more camera view of what you see in front of you in these tight squeezes would be great and appreciated. Thanks
Do you ever get so tired that you get stuck? Caving in those tight spots looks utterly exhausting. Also where was the tightest spot you have ever been in? Still enjoying all your hard work by the way 😊
When we get tired, caving is much harder. I work to be in good physical condition as well as I try to measure how much energy I have so I dont run out when Im in the back of a cave.
I’m sure there’s a way of telling but how go you know if something that will eat your face off isn’t living down there
Mostly because we are the monster in the cave.
But also because the caves are inhospitable for animals. They aren't chilling down here. Animals who wander in accidentally almost always die. Within a short amount of time.
Have you ever fallen into a cave hole while out exploring above ground ?
No. We do look where we are stepping! But there are a lot of holes. Deer and elk fall into some of the cave pits and die often enough.
Poor Bambies!
Omg you guys, you walk around for holes to get yourself inside OMG 😳 you can get smashed and trapped at any time.
I would want to cave, finally a hole I don’t need permission to squeeze in ;)
GO GO GO BAD DAD😆👍❤️
Would be awesome if you went to egypt and found caves no one went in
Someday!
I’m for sure too fat for this 😂 I’m 5”10 and weight 195, so I’m not fat. Just a little chubby, but these holes make me nervous as fuck 😂
I don't guess those spiders are poisonous? 🤷🏼♀️
No they're pretty harmless. There are some spiders that eat those spiders that you wouldn't want in your face but I still think I could take a spider in a fight.
@Even Darker hahaha omg it freaks me out seeing it, especially when they are hovering over your head 😬😬😬 lol
how da hell are you getting service in a cave!?! what sorcery is this!? Btw why dont you get like a intel realsense lidar point cloud camera and map the caves exactly in 3d instead of sketching?
We usually don't even get service outside so it was a bit of an anomaly. It has never happened before and very unlikely to happen again.
I now have a lidar scanner. For my purposes it will work for many of these smaller caves. But there are reasons the larger caving community has rejected 3-D modeling thus far. The main one being that the technology is not streamlined for everyone yet. But there is also some unwritten rules about cave mapping. One of them is about limiting information to only what is necessary. They literally don't want too good of a map. Maps are to only show the basics of the layout of a cave and not exactly what it looks like. I think the reasoning is for the protection of the caves but also so if you want to know what a cave looks like you have to go inside. The private world!
But there'll be nothing they can do to stop technology once the 3-D modeling becomes super easy to use.
@@EvenDarker Yea i guess that makes sense, i would use it as a system by getting an outer "rib cage" for your DSLR and attach the lidar/laser camera to it, then you could also get like textures (basicly pictures) ontop of the point cloud, i would think it would be easierthen sketching all the time, instead you run thru the cave and once you get the data back you can constrain the lidar point map to be simple or only show outline or whatever your needs, but you would always have the data, so if its ever needed in the future you wont have to keep goin back if lets say a client wants something you didnt log... Lol i am in the 3D industry so i guess i am bias...🤣
you guys always say pnw how close to port angeles? wa
We're in the Portland vicinity. But I've hiked the Olympics on a number of occasions and I've also taken a boat through the straits there outside Port Angeles.
@@EvenDarker very cool lots of intresting places around hear that is for sure
Was this up near St. Helens?
Probably
5:57 phone call
I've never got any reception in the cave ever. But we were right in the entrance.
"We've been trying to reach you concerning your vehicle's extended warranty."
@@EvenDarker Hey what’s that song called my family used to play it all the time when I was young and it brought back so many memories I thought I was tripping
And where are these two gentlemen from? :D
The pacific northwest of the USA.
Bad dad here. Originally, probably from Pluto, or some other cave-filled planet.
22:14 !
We got new exit clips! We're gunna wear those suits in a HORRIBLE cave.
@@EvenDarker Well Done! Funny cavers are cool!
After surviving another tight cave, Calvin waxes eloquent and fun. A lot of stress is released. These lava tubes are quite a challenge. Bad dad.
