How do you deal with claustrophobia... Any solution?
Patience.
You're just in a hurry.
Claustrophobia is an anxiety based on desire to escape a situation quickly. You must know that you will be able to get out, and simply do not need to be in a hurry to do so. It's the trick for many problems.
You're just in a hurry.
It is good to wait.
@@CalvinHikes omg youre right, thanks for replying...
@@CalvinHikes i have generalized anxiety, and this answer was just so soothing omg
Don't go in tight places 😂
@@antsfr1416 bro im even have small anxiety toward lift 💀
If there was ten million dollars , one hundred feet in , I would remain poor.
It's not that we think there is money in these caves, but whatever is at the back of them, we will find it!
😂
I totally agree 100 percent. And whatever is in the back of that cave my life is not worth trying to find it or to say I have ben there.
The money i spend buying heavy equipment to dig the Mf up will pay for itself 🤣
Me too for sure.
spiders be like: man i love this cave, tight space, no humans, no predators, huh thats a big spider...
thats- OH WHAT THE FU-
Lmao
LMAO
Human : …Hello there
@@ELi_Silver Spider: Ah, the crawler(because Humans crawl into the caves, okay I'll stop), General Human
Lol
When someone turns on the light in your kitchen at night, how long does it take for you to scurry back under the fridge?
Lol. That's a first. pretty good.
Still replying to a year old video. Good man. The relationship you and Jacob have is amazing. Keep up the good work and thanks for not only the entertainment but the knowledge along the way.
@@CalvinHikes respect for being able to take a joke, some people have difficulty doing that.
@@CalvinHikes very good, just like you 👉🏻
I basically dont scurry i run like sonic like hell nawh what the f goin out there john!,
I used to have claustrophobia, but after watching your videos and seeing how to be safe, go slow, and move systematically, i have more claustrophobia
Funny
😂😂
Nature: creates small caves for insects rodents and other small creatures. Humans:........I’m gonna wiggle my body through it
Exactly....
In order to discover and map out new cave systems. Nothing abnormal about this. Well, maybe for someone who only interacts with nature through a 📱 📺 .
Nature isn't creating it for rodents and insects, they just make best use of it. After your logic water should only be availabe to fish, lol.
@@helios1336 Exactly. Very well said!
@@helios1336 Really it more comes down to how your outlook on life is cause your example can be explained with a vin-diagram. If nature is conscious caves "could" be made for insects, rodents, and other small creatures. If nature is not.. random shit.
This how my dad went to school
Your dad must be a spider
🎵 Spiderdad spiderdad 🎵
Hi dutch :D
It's only the easyest part
According to my Dad, they collected fruits ob the way and it was always freezing too. And of course all on foot.
this is like watching a train wreck. i can't look away. with all due respect, you people are insane. subbed.
Welcome to the dark frontier. Of train wrecks.
Jake “There’s no reason to panic, what’s the worst that can happen? Getting stuck?”
In my mind the image of me getting stuck, cave collapses, heavy rain emerges, flashlight goes out all at once
You could still get out! ; )
@@CalvinHikes no
@@CalvinHikes Could you please share any tips, tricks, or techniques for getting out of a cave like that in the event that a flash flood occurs?
All I can say is John jones nutty putty cave...if you haven’t seen it be warned you may become claustrophobic after watching
I'm claustrophobic AF, but the fact is, you can't crawl into something that you can't crawl out, unless there's gravity.
You're only going to get thinner
A tight space full of spiders is literally what a majority of my nightmares are. Serious respect for this guy
Be careful...
ruclips.net/video/OQ7qRQNlghI/видео.html
It's a good thing there wasn't any spiders in there.
Those spiders cant bite you luckly so you would be fine, but i could understand how you would still be scared, but i dont have arachidphobia so i would be fine
They aren't even spiders, they're called daddy long legs and they're closer related to scorpions, they're also completely harmless to humans.
@@kit_kit4168 they aren't spiders but arachnophobia would probably still kick in for whoever has it, that would suck imo.
I'm not what you would consider claustrophobic BUT this gives me MAJOR anxiety! Major props to y'all!
Appreciate the viewers
As someone who never really knew their father, I really respect the bond you share with Jacob. The way you reassure him of the situation, and he to you, and how you remind him to keep talking to you. You guys are a solid team, and I enjoy seeing you guys communicate and accomplish what you set out to do.
Uncle/nephew. In some videos you will find Jacob’s father, sister, other Uncle and Aunt, and even grandpa. Caving goes back 65 yrs in the family history.
How some people think this is “FUN” is beyond me.
What else is beyond you?
@@CalvinHikes Understanding subjectiveness
Skydiving and similar
@@xkarea2 skydiving i understand why people might find that fun but thid stuff i cant i would be panicking the whole time
@@mmmmmm2718 I feel you.
Its weird that this is the embodiment of horror and terror to me and this man is loving every second of it. Im getting claustrophobic thinking about it and im not even claustrophobic. 10/10
I’m claustrophobic and this sucks
Its like...
I like this but aghughhgghugh
Жиза получается
Everyone's claustrophobic on tight caves, still love em lol
Impressive right? I am instantly in love with this channel, I came from Dive Talk, lol, somehow found myself in love with caves, really because they lead to areas un-tarnished by man, letting us view a bit of God's beauty in his creations.
I appreciate this form of artistry. The mental discipline gained from these challenging caves can be used in every walk of life. Nothing but respect
…and in the days that life slows down to a crawl.
This one was particularly unsettling watching it because if Jacob got into difficulty both of you were stuck. Everything was dependent on Jacob for a time. This must have been very difficult psychologically with someone in front blocking the only way out. But wow, you guys are really tough and brave, I will never do what you guys do but I find it fascinating to watch. It's because of you guys the rest of us get to see what lies under the ground without taking the risk, but I guess thats the decision we all have, to take the risks and be adventurous or just be content watching whatever video you guys present to the world. I am definitely in the latter camp. 🙂
We love the discovery AND the risk. It’s our family tradition for as far back as we can trace.
“What’s the worst that can happen?” Oh I don’t know? Literally one of the most slow, excruciating and mentally shattering deaths imaginable?
That sounds fine.
@@CalvinHikes Seek treatment, or just do it the fast way. ;)
@@Quiksilversurf311 why would you even say something like that. Yea it’s crazy but it’s something he enjoys and he’s not forcing anyone else. You’re just uncomfortable because this guy doesn’t have fear and for some reason that offends you
@@angelv5170 he's just upset he will never be brave as him and his son.
@@Quiksilversurf311 the point of life is to take risks. if he dies doing this i’m sure he won’t regret the years he spent honing his craft and the memories he made along the way.
This is literally more scary than any/every horror film I have ever watched.
Is perfect! That's high praise!
@Needii I’ll do that. Thank you!
Watch The descent
@@MassHysteriaHD ya this reminds me more of the descent not as above so below like the other guy suggested that's still a great movie but more just underground tunnels and passage ways more than this crazy nature made cave shit
I never realized I was claustrophobic until I watched some of these videos. They are fun to watch though!
"Don't get distracted, keep talking" now I see how you guys get through it in order to do what you love, you're upbeat, stimulated but collected under the surface in order to keep panic and fear from entering your mind when the going gets tight
Exactly. Cave chatter helps too.
Different strokes for different folks. I’m not sure there’s any amount of money on the planet that I could be paid to go into one of those holes… nothing but respect for you guys. The courage is immeasurable
As is the thrill of discovery. Thanks for watching and commenting

I am a skydiver and i was only a little bit nervous at my first alone jump from 4000 meters. But never ever I would even try do what you guys do. Not for a million dollar.
And I would not skydive.
i actually would enjoy sky diving i am dying to do it but i might panic
Skydiving is so much less scary than underground
I'm counting down the days till I turn 18 to go skydiving. Never been scared of heights and cant wait to learn
@@siegfriedschmitz5260 thanks man
Love Jacobs narration, really helps to know what is going through your mind and why you’re doing things. Amazing work Jacob and Calvin!!!
However dangerous, however "insane" all this may look like, it is thanks to people like you, who dare to explore places and things no one else dares to, that humanity evolves. Thank you for exploring. Thank you for sharing your experiences, discoveries, fears, knowledge and all that goes with it.
Well that's all very nice you are welcome and thank you
Agree. I have no desire to descend deep into the sea or ascend to space yet it’s the explorers who have given us our world today.
we are all explorers
In what way does humanity evolve doing this?
@@skyvader1238 "This" is a consequence of humans will to explore, ant that will is one thing that make us evolve.
This is like your dad saying "hey son let's go swimming" and then taking you to a major shipping port with container ships and jumping over the side. Seems like there is safer waters to swin so to speak
Lol. That's a funny illustration though.
For the record we did start easy and we've just ended up here.
Lol 100
@@CalvinHikes hey I'm glad you enjoy it . Thanks for sharing stay safe!
When I 1st went in a tight cave the only thing that freaked me out was when I wanted to get out I wanted out instantly! I realized how long it took me to crawl in and it will take the same amount of time to crawl out if not longer, like Jake said stay calm & breathe slowly.
Exactly. It's a little bit like rock climbers who at some point... The body begins rejecting what you are doing and wants down. You have to remain calm and leave slowly and there is no other way.
@@CalvinHikes That's actually a good comparison. After spending a 5 hours climbing a big wall, being 150m above ground and feeling only numbness and pain in my fingers and toes, i discovered some inner strength i didn't know i had. Those last 20m were a torture, but i knew i had to finish and the 2 other guys with me were in the same condition. And there still was the loooong walk down that lasted a good 2 hours.
Staying calm and focused in these conditions requires nerves of steel, but you need it because you have to continue without forgetting about security rules and getting everyone to the end and home safely.
@@sazam1966 this is also why it's good to test your skills gradually rather than making big jumps.
I had this issue the first time I slept in a mummy sleeping bag. I had to tell myself to calm down and relax so I could get out.
Could not imagine this in a deep cave.
Why didn’t you rappel down?
The way you always talking and complimenting your son is just so good.He will come back to this video when he grow up,and realize how proud you are of him.
I love your channel, I am super claustrophobic in my old age but I can't get enough of your incredible channel.
You and Jacob are awesome dudes and whatta a team you make!!
Keep up the good work and stay safe!
Greetings from Australia....🇦🇺
What is “old age”? Grandpa here, still caving in mid 70’s.
When i was in the young marines, we went in a cave in Pennsylvania and they had us crawl through a small, quite long spot. We all had to turn our headlamps off, because the leaders didnt want the kids to panic when we saw how tight it was . We were belly crawling and you could lift your head up 5 inches and your helmet would hit the top of the cave. Then one of the bigger kids up front turned his light on and everyone could see how narrow and claustraphobic is was, and he started panicing and wouldnt move, so we sat there for like 10 min. They finally got him to move and finish the course lol. What a ride!
That is crazy. great story. And it confirms one of my techniques of closing my eyes when I minute tight passage. I wouldn't call ignorance bliss but it's certainly better than knowing the truth in some situation.
@@CalvinHikes yes forsure!! And they deff knew that lol
I went through the Vietnamese Tunnel tour. I’m never gonna do that ever again.
I also was in the young marines and we did the same thing
@@natepascal8055 sick bro!! I think i went in 2005
Your Son has balls of steel.. and a calmness that can’t be taught
I don’t think that’s actually his son, I’m pretty sure it’s hit nephew or something
@@vinceemery5943 it's his nephew.
You can teach it.
That why they get stuck. Because of the brass balls they have to carry.
This is how you teach it
The algorithm blessed me yesterday and ive been binge watching your videos, great stuff!
Thank you. Welcome to the dark frontier.
You're living the life, man! Keep going and keep having fun!!
I have chronic anxiety and a panic disorder, and this is my worst fear. I'm also a masochist, apparently.

@@yapzor2623 ooh okay sTrOnG gUy
You're a brilliant teacher. Constantly asking Jacob how he's feeling, what he's feeling and making him question different things. And also redirecting him when he gets distracted. Bravo to you both, my diving instructors were similar, I'd never have the courage for this though! 👏
This is how our parents went to school
Both ways. Great comment.
You’ve given so many people (including me) a window into something that we would never, under any circumstances, do ourselves. So badass.
Great comment.
@@billsanders9387 truly good job... your insane to me though...
true
the way this video was shot was incredible. the music gives off the feeling like one of you is going to to get fatally stuck, and induces fear and a surreal feeling of the reality of the dangers of this activity. when you talk tell jacob about how he could get wedged and die folded up adds to that feeling. this is a very good video
Thank you! Taking videos is the hardest part about the caving!
Interesting, I almost didn't post this one because I didn't think it was good enough. I think perhaps people like it for its simplicity. Just a real grinder.
@@CalvinHikes hey hats off to you both. That’s insane. Talk about keeping panic at bay. I guess once you’re in there in the moment it might not affect one the same way. Crazy.
I love living vicariously through you! Thanks for all you do man. I’d love to get into spelunking and possible diving one day but I’ll admit it scares the shit out of me
Very insightful commentaries. Thank you for your bravery
One of my favorite parts about this channel is the honesty. You don’t act like what you’re doing doesn’t have people shaking in their chairs, instead you give tips and work through that panic with them. I used to not be able to make it through even half of the types of videos, incredibly well done
Thank you! That's a great compliment we appreciate it. We do try to be honest. Even in the way a video is constructed. We figure the caves are crazy enough we can just be pretty straightforward and it will be entertaining without us attempting to make it more or less dangerous.
We even have videos on the 2nd channel where we literally quit out of fear.
Im getting better at watching longer and longer.
Its a process
@@CalvinHikes what's your 2nd channel please

It's amazing seeing how much you can talk yourself calm.
But holy HECK you guys such strength of will! It's not that you're not scared of caving anymore, it's that you are able to control your fear, and know how you react under that stress.
"Cave Strip Club, come today!"
I love these guys 😂
Just no decent music for the show. 🙄
Thinking of the poor man who died stuck down a gap he could not retreat out of... shit, that's the stuff my nightmare are made of !
John Jones
Had to watch chill videos to make myself go to sleep after i saw that video.
Nutty putty
That video haunts me still. Watched it years ago.
The Nutty Putty Caves…
Just watching you two fills me with primal terror. And yet, I can’t stop.
Perfect. We like to think, we are the primal terror.
I've watched a handful of videos about caving, and the descriptions of crawling through a space where you're forced to belly crawl have always terrified me. really just twists my stomach. normally enclosed spaces aren't a big problem for me, hell sitting in a closet is actively comforting. but it's when I can feel something pressed around my body that I just lose it. always reminds me of that time as a kid I was trying to make a snow fort, but upon realizing I'd made a tunnel I didn't fully fit through it felt like I had a damn heart attack
rambling aside, one of the things about caving that's always stuck with me is the idea of "why is this just big enough for me to fit through? why wouldn't it just be too small?"
and this video really put that feeling into perspective for me. caves like this were never made with humans in mind, but not only is it just big enough to get into - there's even this convenient little "room" that's just big enough to manage to turn around. just wild to see
This! Along with losing my parents, it literally my worst fear. I would rather be mauled by a lion than do this. This combines my claustrophobia, with my fear of drowning with my fear of suffocation.
“No one wants to back out, thats not fun”
Wait, this is for fun?
It's the most fun I've ever had.
@@CalvinHikes THE MOST FUN ?
@@CalvinHikes this man needs help
@@CalvinHikes
I would rather get bit by a snake then to ever go near one of these caves I would literally break down internally
"You can get unstuck the same way you got stuck." Why do I feel like that's not true at all? Lol
Because it was spoken by a 15 year old boy who is trying to speak while wandering through a cave.
@@CalvinHikes Fair enough 👍💯
@@CalvinHikes nah, trust me just laugh it off. You can never win the internet. All I can say is, you are brave enough so the rest of us can be driven into madness by anxiety.
It actually has a lot of truth to it, If a series of actions led to one being stuck, reversing those actions could in fact get you un-stuck, of course there are variables in play such as not being able to reverse the actions, but id say it’s a great mentality to have especially at his age
@@coreygreen4756 Yeah that is all true. And that n.1 variable is, we can't reverse gravity.
Dang, nice video! Thank god I found this channel and this video in my home feed!
Love your content. Very thought about and enlightening.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate you guys are having fun, and i imagine youre following the propper safety procedures, but theres no way in hell i would ever get into a space like that, it terrifies me and its hard to understand how anyone can have fun like this.
Anyway, cheers mates, hope you keep doing what you find fun.
Thank you so much! If safety was a superpriority we would just stay-at-home I suppose. but we're just out here having a good time.
@@CalvinHikes glad to know, all fun comes with a small degree of risk, but taking the propper measures is always important, it is a bit hard to watch for me, but you guys seem to know what youre doing and having a good time while doing it, and thats what matters.

I struggle to watch your videos, but i had to go under my house the other week(im 6ft and 275lbs) and got kind of wedged and started to panic then thought of your videos and tips and was fine thanks my man! stay safe.
That's pretty cool. There's no trick. You get in a tight situation either under your house in a cave or even in life... And the choice is to panic or stay calm. Only one of those results in the ability to make good decisions.
Yeah my remote fell behind my bed I had to crawl under to get it ...Never again.
Thats my tolerance level LOL

I don't know how to express this...
I've been looking for an adventure deep down inside the earth. Most are over edited and just unsatisfactory. I haven't seen a video quite like this. To the point and It's scary af. You have guts. I admire that and I can only imagine how awesome but scary this must feel.
THANK YOU. My bed time viewing has a new home for thrills.
Cool. That means a lot to us I assure you. There's a certain kind of content that we just don't want to watch... A kind of whininess... Begging for subs... Fake adventures. We decided to do it the hard way and it's it's just so fun.

You guys are seriously on another level of human. Your comment about it makes the brain do some very interesting things blue me away. You are searching your own souls in those places and it's probably exhilarating.
Cave chatter is calming.
@@billsanders9387 haha I can't find anything calming about being in a cave. Or any right place for that matter but I get why it works for the select few that can take it.
I have pretty bad anxiety issues. I watch cave videos because they activate it. As much as I hate having anxiety I like to practice facing it head on. Thanks for daring content! ❤️
If the claustrophobic feeling of the cave wasn’t enough for you, it also includes spiders. Good luck 🕷
omg lol
Yeah, often they'll camp out in massive groups and cover one wall and the second you touch it, they all start running around like tiny little tumbleweeds lol. I'm not afraid of spiders so that doesn't make me uncomfortable but I can imagine how it could put off somebody else.

But it's cool they respond to so many people.
11:10 DAAAAAAAAAAAAMN I Was not expecting you to be that jacked!! O_O Great video!
This kind of caving is like doing an eternal plank. You should see Jacob currently he could rip a bear apart.
One of my irrational fears is being trapped in a coffin, completely unable to move, i guess this helps ease it off a little bit
Also, as a viewer, Jacob's an inspiration of sorts, if he can keep calm and rational under such circumstances, we probably can too, i like the humour from you both, good stuff
"I am fat." Then shows 6 pack abs lmao!
Yeah fat is the word we use for whoever is the largest caver.
Strong man!
@@CalvinHikes makes sense
When Jacob is older he is definitely going to be the guy to call when dealing with caves. You guys are studs
Thank you. Sometimes, people call Jacob now! He definitely knows a lot about what he is doing.
I come by to check and make sure this dudes still uploading 💯💯💯
The whole caving team is doing fine. We rescue each other for sport.
The Mrs. here. :-) Your channel is amazing! You all are so brave! What a life exploring. Thank you for sharing.
I literally paused the video and looked away almost immediately because of the intense claustrophobia it caused me, how can this man do this without fear
We have fear. ; )
I’m sure the fear is all part of the rush
@@CalvinHikes you may have fear, but not the "OMG IM CRYING SO HARD AND PANICKING AND I CANT BREATHE I CANT THINK IM DYING GET ME THE FUNK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME IM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING IVE EVER DONE OH GOD DID I JUST PEE MYSELF OR IS THAT A BUNCH OF WARM CRAZY-@$$ CREATURES RUNNING DOWN MY LEG" sort of fear a lot of us would have. Or me at least. The sort of fear *I* would have. The sort of fear I almost had just watching you in a video.
Because you can't look away haha
"Your shirt is shredded just like you" what an compliment, really made me smile :D
I know I didn't know how to react. I think he had that line prepared but Jacob is usually pretty good with words.
Jacob is mature well beyond his years!
Think that comes from a great family and uncle...
Carry on young man...outstanding!
Jacob is a prodigy and this guy is one of the best coaches, of anything, that I've ever seen
Jacob is quiet, shy, and reserved until he sees a caving opportunity. He’s becoming a master underground.
"How tighter and small you want the caves"
These Humans: "yes"
11:12 "your shirt's shredded just like you" haha what a legend lmao
I can assure you going forward is no more fun for 75% of us 😆 kudos for doing what you do. I would never! Good video 🤘🤘
Make that 99% and we agree.
This is just insane and fascinating.
I watched your video about the guy who died and I'm pretty convinced you are pretty safe. But still this feels ridicilous
We have a few decades of experience. It’s not a sport for amateurs. Thanks for watching.
Not a chance I would ever consider doing that! Glad you have a hobby you're passionate about, I'll stick to fishing
Yeah, chasing sea trout is much more fun!
Me 2 fishing
This may be the most horrifying video I’ve seen yet 🤣 I could NEVER.
this is unbelievable! props to the kid for doing that! he’s gonna be a great explorer when he grows up!
if he grows up
Found your channel a few weeks ago, and almost watched it all. Really intriguing. I wish i could come down and join your for a session, trying out some basic caving just to get the sense of it. Seems like a lot of fun, and especially mentally challenging and physically ofcourse. But the overall experience seem controlled, and i get the sense that you know what youre doing (obviously) which will also help with the calm nature of how things are handled. Which is probably what woulve have gotten me going, trying to do something so "unatural" i guess. Love it, really intriguing, keep it up. Stay safe from Norway.
Welcome to the dark frontier.
It's not unnatural. These formations are 100% natural. Living in a house is unnatural. Mining is unnatural. Driving a car is unnatural. Hiking and caving is perfectly natural!
@@CalvinHikes Yeah true, I may have worded it badly because English is only my second language, but still. I agree with you. And thanks, maybe one day I find myself in one of those dark caves trying to slide in some cracks. : p keep posting your adventures! Thanks for the entertainment, ill sub for sure :)
Imagine you hear pouring sounds and realized it's raining. Andrenaline pumping into my veins would drive me nuts if I'm in that situation heck I can't even stand being stuck inside a closet.
In this video we talk flooding.

'I'm fat so I'm pretty scraped up'
*Pulls up his shirt to show his abs*
I love that you enjoy life this way.
I have been caving but in my youth, 62 now so it’s been a while.
I think that if anyone is able to be at peace with themselves while doing something that represents a serious risk it provides ‘self esteem’
Love your work…..it terrifies me but I love that you can do it.
Me I love riding motorcycles really fast…😋
THIS MAN IS FEARLESS
