    Wonderful you share your passion of caving with your nephew Jacob and give him such an heritage : the caving skills.
    You will have both many unforgettable shared memories!
    I discovered what a passion I have for caving just a few months ago, I'm 28yo. Nobody in my family would want to go with me for the moment, because of claustrophobia and the fear of getting lost. I met a friend, more experienced in caving than me (I'm just a beginner, he has 40 years of experience of caving), who helps me to learn caving skills and to explore caves safely.
    For me, caving is like discovering a treasure!
    I wish you happy new year!

    • @CalvinHikes
      @CalvinHikes  3 года назад

      I assume that in most cases there's a kind of self safety perimeter. In other words if someone actually finds a cave there is a fairly high amount of natural fear that keeps people out of them, and if people go in them it's not for very long.
      The other safety barrier is that caving is fun in theory but going and finding a cave is extremely extremely rare. I have been caving my whole life and never randomly stumbled upon a cave.

    • @CalvinHikes
      @CalvinHikes  3 года назад +5

      Yeah we have to do a lot of exiting setting up a camera re entering re exiting. That part is miserable because it requires much less payoff for a lot of hard work. It also slows down the experience because we have to stop and set up the cameras.
      But Jacob has been very patient and he has also learned to use the camera gear.
