Way back in the olden days (the 70’s) a bunch of us would go exploring caves in our home state of Missouri. There are literally 1000’s in Missouri. I’d crawl through holes like this that would open up into a massively huge cavern. Sometimes with lakes sometimes just a big mud pit. I really don’t recall being nervous or freaking out. Now I’m watching this and wondering how did I do that. 😂. .
the way that was done was sketchy as hell, ive been diving on and off for 13 years and the first thing i was taught was dive planning, i saw no dive planning at all, to include no Nitrox, or emergency air or re breather, no emergency planning, i highly doubt many or any of them are actually certified for cave diving or exploration. all it would have taken was for him to freak out and get knocked out and that would have been much much worse.
It was an absolutely imperfect representation of how quickly things might take a turn for the worst. Because it didn't. I was on a bus the other day and if it had driven into the sea it would be dangerous but it didn't and it wasn't. Beware the next time you go to get some stuff from a shop.
@@JAMSARTCHANNELhow do you think pros become pros in these situations? By DOING IT! They do dumb, dangerous things and survive them and learn for the next time 😂
If it weren't for cameras and crazy people, I'd never get to see inside of caves like these because there is no way in hell I'd be crawling in there. Thanks for sharing these adventures guys.
100% it's exceptionally dangerous, right up there with base jumping and hang gliding. They need to just rent an 8"-10" pump and pump all that water out. Then set up a large blower fan with a long/fat flexible exhaust hose on it for ventilation. That last part was seriously scary, he said he was inhaling water? It doesn't take much. Best case scenario, you have to drag him all the way out just to start resuscitating him. A family friend died cave diving in Costa Rica and by the time anyone realized anything was wrong he was gone. They never even recovered him. Obviously that's a much smaller cave but either way cave diving is exceptionally dangerous.
@@SaltNBatteryive been commenting to just run a pump for a few days and water will drop at least a foot. will make the “swim” easier. hell it might drain alot more
Matt, I hate getting lawyers involved in stuff but in this rare case, I think you should talk to one about liability if one of your guests gets hurt. Even if they're cool, their next of kin may not be so cool while they're grieving. Also you might want to reach out to your local EMS and Fire/Rescue to see exactly what they're willing and able to do.
They do have other caves in the locality, so I'm quite sure EMS/FIRE/ RESCUE can handle it. It's worth mentioning that Matt runs multiple businesses (he's no David Dobrick). They know what they are doing. I's dotted, t's crossed etc.
Matt, you. Struck. GOLD. With this property!!! How amazing is it to have a resort, with hiking trails, a BEAUTIFUL river, AND cave systems! Wow. Super happy for you man! (I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous)
Not like this, this was super dangerous and I think Matt was under the assumption that these kids knew what they were doing. They didn't. That could have been a really bad situation. He just needs to pump the water out and set up a big blower fan with a flexible exhaust pipe for ventilation. Trying to underwater cave dive in that thing is suicide. Not to mention a massive liability when he has guests, some little kid or drunk person is going to die down there and their family is going to sue the place out from under him.
I hope it was also a learning experience. Get yourself on a cave diving and certification course, some proper gear, and you'll hopefully have fewer close calls. Also think about how useful a snorkel might be in an unknown or badly charted sump or syphon when the water is up to the ceiling, and you have no way of knowing what the air quality will be if you manage to make it to the other side on a breath hold. There's a few caves around Texas pretty notorious for HS, and if you surface into a pocket of that, it really won't end well.
@@UncutCaving man, I wouldn't waste my time with that dude. I doubt he's been in a cave before. No one can claim you're inexperienced with over 100 miles of cave exploration filmed and posted to your channels. They're just jealous your job is cooler than theirs.
@@jjoohhhnn sworn to secrecy on the cave info. ;) But everyone will get to see some really cool stuff. It was fun hanging out with Matt and look forward to more Texas caving in the future. :) Thanks for the comments.
Matt, thank you for being an overachieving every day man. Not a superman but also not afraid of a challenge. Friend of animals and land. Humorous and self depricating when appropriate. Family man. Your content is top notch and as a fellow Texan I hope what we see is true. Keep on building on.
Because it is. Cave exploring is fun and almost anyone can do it. BUT once you try and dive in a cave, it becomes deadly. Especially if you are not trained and have proper gear. Never free dive a cave. One second it can be clear but one wrong move and the whole passage can silt out. once that occurs you are doomed. there is no way to tell which way you came from. you will panic, bump into walls and run out of air. could even be 3 feet from the exit. Happens all too often.
He clearly thought these kids knew what they were doing and quickly realized they were just dudes who bought some stuff on Amazon and started making videos. None of this was safe and I hope if he ever does anything like this again, he finds people who actually know what they're doing and aren't a danger to themselves and others.
Underwater cave divers tie ropes when they go scuba diving so theres theres a chance it wont always open up into breathable air. It could go forever you never know. A robot would be nice
Holy sh*t I'm having a panic attack just watching them in the first few minutes down there... I had to pause it to catch my breath. Thanks, Matt, for saving me thousands of dollars on therapy to figure out I'm claustrophobic! I'm legit freaked out right now, and I'm a Marine - nothing scares me... nothing but this stuff. Geeez. **twitch**

I used to cave and climb when I was young and had no problem with tight spaces or heights but now I have problems watching things like this and I'm now extremely claustrophobic.
I went into a cave in the Ardennes in Belgium about 40 years ago. It was a rabbit hole we had to enter through, like this but more horizontal. I remember wondering if I would be able to get out again, it was so narrow and tight. It felt like there was 60 feet of soil on top of me. I found out two things that day: a human being is able to push through openings that you’d think your cat wouldn’t get through and that I would never ever enter a cave like that again. And I haven’t the past 40 years. 😅
I went in a cave that was very very open compared to these ones and were lit with handrailing etc and only a few narrowish areas even the fat peoole could get through. And there was people still having panic attacks 😂
And Matt is a muscular dude, those young folk were very thin. I was surprised Matt followed through. The sheer thought of going in that tiny hole, to another tiny hole was scary enough, then the cracks they shimmied through, ugh, no thanks. Sounds like what you did. Now you can say at least you did it!😊
Dude I didn't even know I was this claustrophobic before watching this episode. Man.. You're a beast, honestly. Doing this totally outside your comfort zone - you inspire us! Thanks for being who you are, brother. /From all of your brothers in Sweden
You did a great job for not ever doing that before! I’m so glad you had the Action Adventure Twins and friends) come out! I’m with you. I am glad they go places I would never go!
This has to be one of the COOLEST things you have ever done on this channel! You need to have all these boys out for like a week every year doing events!
Yeah the tight congo line was a bad idea, disturbing the water made others unable to breath, if they had also lost it someone was drowning and potentially dying there.
No need for gear and the time spent in the caves is essentially training. It's so much better in my opinion without "proper training" That's what exploration is all about
When I was young, and... ahem... my intellect and wisdom weren’t as... refined as they are now at age 50, I was certified in cave rescue, swift water rescue, high angle rescue (rappelling), Hazmat Technician Level II, etc. Watching Matt descend into this narrow chimney makes me yearn for the old days of my youth.

Matt you really need dive talk or someone like them to go in and film rest of cave and explore. They are solid cave divers that use rebreathers and can get some footage before the place gets silted out.
It's too tight and too sharp for a rebreather or a normal SCUBA rig. They need to just rent a 10" pump and pump it all out.

@@Ammoniummetavanadate Do you mean when they have a tank, but push it in front of them? I've seen it, but idk all the terminology. I'm still thinking a rebreather wouldn't fit through. I only have a super basic dive certification.
Thanks for these videos. It’s been reminding us of our Nutty Putty cave that we used to enjoy while growing up. We were so ignorant of its potential dangers. I’m glad to see you’re taking precautions and raising awareness.
Great to see the Action Adventure Twins join. I remember a months ago someone commented mentioning you found a cave and they should reach out. Great to see you collab with some smaller creators who I enjoy as well.
29:55 build a one-way gate. Sync two poles in the ground, mount a piece of plywood to it with a hinge the only allows a piece of plywood to open in. Another option is to build a ramp on the outside that ends with them, jumping off near the food.
@@frankm3204 if the water is coming from a aquifer there is no way that will even make a difference. That cave could run for miles. You could pump for weeks and never see a difference.
He could have chosen a different silly insult that was still hilarious yet tasteful at the same time. Dudes acting like they don't know any gay people in 2023.
Not gonna lie, I'll be glad when y'all get done exploring these caves because they really set off my claustrophobic tendencies. I know I'm not forced to watch them, but I hate missing the stuff you do. I just watch them on double the speed so they go by quicker. Love your stuff!
Mike Young is the best cave explorer in the world! He’s friends with a diving podcast channel called “Dive Talk” and they explore with Mike some times. Their names are Woody and Gus!
It's been 15 years since I've been inside a cave. Before that, I was a hardcore EMT caver, certified in cave rescue, vertical rescue, and advanced single rope rescue. Watching this video sure brings back some fond memories of caving and repelling. Combining the two and rappelling inside of a cave was my absolute most favorite thing to do. It also makes me think about some of the techniques needed if Matt or one of the guys were to get injured and need rescue. Oh the good old days!
We as TAG caver learn alot of 3 man rescue. And a lot of prep went into preparing the cave for Matt to not only learn how to repel but be safe while doing so.
You and 31 percent of the American population. Idk how you can have anxiety about something you're not even remotely involved in but whatever floats your boat.
Oh my gosh I could have passed out seeing what you came down into!! my stomach started hurting as you continued down your cave!! I can't believe we used to climb thru caves as children!! we did find a cool cave looking for our pregnant cow...she was hiding her new born. We blamed our long day looking for the calf. Really we got our little brother stuck...pushed him thru to the other side...he turned around coming out hands first. We must have pulled his shoulder out of the socket as he was in terrible pain. He tripped over a rock on our walk home into a pile of rock...came out saying his shoulder was ok now.
They're dangerous. They're deadly if you go into them unprepared. There's a reason cave divers have the Reaper signs warning non-cave divers to stay away until they've had proper training and brought the right equipment.
People talk about their fav youtubers collabing and I always though it was something the young kids got to see on RUclips. I'm on my 40s and only follow half a dozen channels and suddently here we are. Awesome to see AATwins and OTR doing a video!
38:49 I've been there, I was in a reactor vault, unable to hook up to the air hose, with my rad suit slowly filling with co2. The lizard part of your brain takes over, and ALL logic and reason go out the window. It's a level above panic. Scary stuff.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Both of my favorites in one colab! I love both Demo and AA Twins. Awesome content between the two. Good Job Matt. I know I couldn’t have done the rappelling one but the water, I would have pushed it too far.
It’s so dumb they demonetized this video!! If anything it teaches you that even with experienced explorers it can be dangerous and you should never attempt yourself. This was very educational and awesome. RUclips needs to rethink this and monetize this video.
Maybe it was the line @39:33? RUclips isn't exactly known for tolerating things that could be interpreted as bigotry... It's 2023, the world sort of expects us to find other ways to rib each other that don't involve accusing one another of being a homosexual, even if people believe it's in good fun.
Yeah we're just so progressive... Letting tech companies decide for us what we're allowed to say.. Sounds like freedom to me! Now back to your regular scheduled TV PROGRAMMING...
You should really take this as an inspiration to make a cave styled obstacle maze or some similar attraction for visitors, Or maybe a cave themed room for events or photoshoots. Those cave rocks are stunning and really call for adventure
I’ve been following @Action Adventure Twins. They explore some of the coolest places! I still think you guys should pump down the water cave so you can go further.
You are absolutely nuts Matt!!! That's so crazy I mean it's cool and all but no way I could climb through that without freaking the hell out 😂😂 you guys are brave earned my respect
Been watching some of your videos and decided you earned my subscribe when you went into that tight cave series of tunnels. Wow! I totally could not do that. Respect!
I can't believe you guys were just supporting yourselves on the walls of that first cave without being secured to a rope. It was educational seeing how even an experienced caver's body reacts when deprived of oxygen underwater for just a few seconds. 'Nuff for me not to ever want to go into either of those caves.
I was scared with the new vertical cave.. But damn if that water cave wasn't one of the scariest things I've seen. And he's so embarrassed for panicking. No hate I would have never went in lol
@ActionAdventureTwins, we could've carpooled from Georgia!

Great to see the Action Adventure Twins join. I remember a months ago someone commented mentioning you found a cave and they should reach out. Great to see you collab with some smaller creators who I enjoy as well.
29:55 build a one-way gate. Sync two poles in the ground, mount a piece of plywood to it with a hinge the only allows a piece of plywood to open in. Another option is to build a ramp on the outside that ends with them, jumping off near the food.
Mikey is such a funny guy! Great addition to the family! ❤
I fully agree. When he flips his shirt over his head and starts running, I lose it!
"shark attack"
I've been binging adventure twins the past couple months. Its awesome you got all these guys to come down and do this. The cave content is great.
So have I. Their videos are all amazing.
You need to get Dive Talk to do the underwater cave portion. They are real cave divers
I’m pretty sure they pumped the water out now.
@@frankm3204 if the water is coming from a aquifer there is no way that will even make a difference. That cave could run for miles. You could pump for weeks and never see a difference.
I couldn’t stop watching but the anxiety was overwhelming
Holy crap
😮
Good to see your brother at the end of the video. Hope his family is well!
He could have chosen a different silly insult that was still hilarious yet tasteful at the same time. Dudes acting like they don't know any gay people in 2023.
Not gonna lie, I'll be glad when y'all get done exploring these caves because they really set off my claustrophobic tendencies. I know I'm not forced to watch them, but I hate missing the stuff you do. I just watch them on double the speed so they go by quicker. Love your stuff!
EXACTLY! Couldn’t say it better!
@@kathleencarpentier3397 When they were in the skinny one today, I had to keep looking away and reminding myself to breath.
I thrive on the adrenaline. Couldn’t look away
Hell yes for action adventure twins, ive been watching these guys for years and they are pros!!!! Also, all you're channels are fire. Just saying.
Mike Young is the best cave explorer in the world! He’s friends with a diving podcast channel called “Dive Talk” and they explore with Mike some times. Their names are Woody and Gus!
Yeah I was hoping dive talk were the guys who Matt got to help out. Woody is a trip
That is one of the, if not the, most terrifying feelings I have ever felt! I use to go cave diving "spelunking" back in the early 80's! 😱🤣
Potentially the best crevasse ever posted for public viewing. Bless you
Your cave explores ,is the content I didn't know I needed.
It's been 15 years since I've been inside a cave. Before that, I was a hardcore EMT caver, certified in cave rescue, vertical rescue, and advanced single rope rescue. Watching this video sure brings back some fond memories of caving and repelling. Combining the two and rappelling inside of a cave was my absolute most favorite thing to do. It also makes me think about some of the techniques needed if Matt or one of the guys were to get injured and need rescue. Oh the good old days!
We as TAG caver learn alot of 3 man rescue. And a lot of prep went into preparing the cave for Matt to not only learn how to repel but be safe while doing so.
Those cave guys are awesome... some intense moments, glad the 2 are OK!
Get dive talk out there they are great cave diver would be sooo fun
Thank God you got the experts.
Thanks Matt... that's just triggered my claustrophobia that I've worked years on to over come 😵💫
Close your eyes then
The anxiety these tight spots give me…… anyone else have anxiety?????
You and 31 percent of the American population. Idk how you can have anxiety about something you're not even remotely involved in but whatever floats your boat.
The cave videos freak me out
Yes absolutely
100%
Yup, struggling to watch
I love this. Great collab with the caving homies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely enjoy these types of adventures. I liked it so much that I went and spent some cash on some merch!!
Demolitia, We are still here!!
I really need to thank you again for bringing vise grip in I love Derek I love his family and thank you Matt.
"I guess we dont tell Mere do we?" Absolutely sent me
You got some big balls Matt, ain't no way I would ever go into a cave like that lol
He has big balls both figuratively and literally lol
Not a chance.
I’d absolutely love it tbh
Forsure especially with him not being experienced
It’s just stupidity
All I can say is WOW. And Amazing all of y'all. My heart started beating faster and I'm so glad all of y'all are good.❤❤
Nothing can top this, having my to favorite channels together! Super cool❤
Oh my gosh I could have passed out seeing what you came down into!! my stomach started hurting as you continued down your cave!! I can't believe we used to climb thru caves as children!! we did find a cool cave looking for our pregnant cow...she was hiding her new born. We blamed our long day looking for the calf. Really we got our little brother stuck...pushed him thru to the other side...he turned around coming out hands first. We must have pulled his shoulder out of the socket as he was in terrible pain. He tripped over a rock on our walk home into a pile of rock...came out saying his shoulder was ok now.
Im just watching and feeling panicky.......and i worked in underground mines 35 years ago!
You guys are NUTS TOTALLY NUTS!
when you were young and stupid. the stupid subsides with age
You actually collabed with the twins, I knew it was coming, and the fact almost one of them drowned shows how dangerous caves are
They're dangerous. They're deadly if you go into them unprepared. There's a reason cave divers have the Reaper signs warning non-cave divers to stay away until they've had proper training and brought the right equipment.
People talk about their fav youtubers collabing and I always though it was something the young kids got to see on RUclips. I'm on my 40s and only follow half a dozen channels and suddently here we are. Awesome to see AATwins and OTR doing a video!
Water caves are extra dangerous
I’m glad to see you never stopped creating amazing content
We need u with DIVE TALK thereeeee!
Dudes wholesome laugh when he said he didn’t trust half of them had me going.. good timing Matt
38:49 I've been there, I was in a reactor vault, unable to hook up to the air hose, with my rad suit slowly filling with co2.
The lizard part of your brain takes over, and ALL logic and reason go out the window. It's a level above panic. Scary stuff.
Dude no kidding, I’ve never experienced such a intense mindset, glad you’re alright man 👊
I’ve been waiting for this one! Both of my favorites in one colab! I love both Demo and AA Twins. Awesome content between the two. Good Job Matt. I know I couldn’t have done the rappelling one but the water, I would have pushed it too far.
I loved his giggle when you said, "I dont even trust half of them"
It’s so dumb they demonetized this video!! If anything it teaches you that even with experienced explorers it can be dangerous and you should never attempt yourself. This was very educational and awesome. RUclips needs to rethink this and monetize this video.
YT will demonetize videos for the absolute dumbest reasons. Kinda like how they hide/delete totally innocuous comments.
Maybe it was the line @39:33? RUclips isn't exactly known for tolerating things that could be interpreted as bigotry... It's 2023, the world sort of expects us to find other ways to rib each other that don't involve accusing one another of being a homosexual, even if people believe it's in good fun.
Yeah we're just so progressive... Letting tech companies decide for us what we're allowed to say.. Sounds like freedom to me! Now back to your regular scheduled TV PROGRAMMING...
Love your content, keep safe always matt and buddies! 😊
From 🇵🇭
You should really take this as an inspiration to make a cave styled obstacle maze or some similar attraction for visitors, Or maybe a cave themed room for events or photoshoots. Those cave rocks are stunning and really call for adventure
Great idea.
Love This 😊 would help with this. 😊
My anxiety was ripping the whole time. God bless those guy's and keep them safe
Love these cave episodes
Thanks
@@Underground_Adventures y’all are awesome
@@drakeslocum2564 stay tuned there's more to come
Id love to see a 3d map of the resort, of all the caves, and just to see how the tunnels wind underground
I’ve been following @Action Adventure Twins. They explore some of the coolest places!
I still think you guys should pump down the water cave so you can go further.
From the time everyone went into the 1st cave, my anxiety level was through the roof for the rest of the video. You guys ( including Matt) are crazy!
Matt was a great sport the entire time. And we love to do this for fun.
Thanks for the comment.
Adventure twins are crazy dudes , many many others too underground Pennsylvania is another
Y’all are grown ass children and I’m here for all of it lol it’s like I’m watching a documentary of my friend group
So stoked to see the adventure twins!!!!
this is sick wish I had something like this on my property.
Matt, you’re a brave dude going threw that as a beginner. Holy crap.
I'm completely obsessed with this cave stuff. Love it.
You are absolutely nuts Matt!!! That's so crazy I mean it's cool and all but no way I could climb through that without freaking the hell out 😂😂 you guys are brave earned my respect
It's a shame you didn't invite Dive Talk.
Fun to watch but was very nervous for you! No way I'd go down there 😮
These keep getting better Matt.
Thanks for sharing.
The water cave is the best cave ever, i can't imagine how cool and cold the environment could be in the summer down there 🌞
Awesome adventure guys thanks for taking us along for the ride with y’all …👍🏻👍🏻
The amount of sweat on Matt's hands and arms when he was going through the tight cave🤣
Damn, reminds me of watching Brent crawling around the Cerro Gordo mines.
yeah 700 feet underground with antique equipment. he looks like a soy boy, but he got some cajones. wouldnt catch me down there
Been watching some of your videos and decided you earned my subscribe when you went into that tight cave series of tunnels. Wow! I totally could not do that. Respect!
He's a very brave man. 😊
Great video guys 😀👍❤️
I can't believe you guys were just supporting yourselves on the walls of that first cave without being secured to a rope. It was educational seeing how even an experienced caver's body reacts when deprived of oxygen underwater for just a few seconds. 'Nuff for me not to ever want to go into either of those caves.
I was scared with the new vertical cave.. But damn if that water cave wasn't one of the scariest things I've seen. And he's so embarrassed for panicking. No hate I would have never went in lol
This is the stuff nightmares and bad movies are made of. Glad everybody made it out alive!
