Got lost in a complex lava tube cave system. Finally, I found my way out of the maze after tough crawling through endless, narrow tunnels. No one should go alone into a cave.
This is why I always bring 2 stacks of 64 torches whenever I go caving. Place them around as you explore and if you want to leave just follow them back out! They also stop Zombies and Skeleton Archers from appearing behind you.
J amie I lost my 93 yr old Gma in Walmart, I did 4 full laps around the store before coming across her looking at eye glasses near the checkout stands lol
Hell, alone or with partners....John Jones went with his brother, and there was a team of people trying to rescue him, and to this day he is still stuck upside down in an 18 inch space that lead to his doom....no thanks, bro. I’ll pass.
Imagine if the sunlight was all an illusion so was you getting out, and it turns out you were still back in that cave knocked out after hitting your head on a rock with your flashlight near dead.
And just imagine as you lay there thinking about how you decided to save $3 by buying the cheaper made-in-China lamp, the one with the "16 hour per charge guarantee" so you only bought one as it was only going to be a couple of hours exploring, and suddenly you realize the lamp is getting dimmer after just 2 hours and you still have no idea how to find your way out! So thinking fast you switch the lamp OFF to save the battery while you think of a solution in the dark, and then you flip the switch "ON" and nothing happens!!! Now you also have to think about how to get a refund on that cheap lamp!!!
InvictuZ right?! I’m so disoriented right now? I figure he’s got a helmet cam so if he’s looking at his hands he’s probably crawling but it seems like he’s crawling upwards and isn’t that technically climbing?
Actually this happens all the time, finding the cave entrance is often harder than navigating the cave itself even when you have a guide book. Most overdue parties that cave rescue are contacted about are down to the group having entered the cave far later than they expected because they spent ages looking for the entrance. A small hole in the middle of a large moor can be tricky to spot even when you've been there before!
Plenty I'm sure, lots of animals too have gotten lost in caves, there bones laying there for hundred or thousands of years. The worst was that chunky guy who got stuck upside down in the nutty putty cave, and for hours and hours rescue people tried to get him out but he died and they left him there and sealed the cave up!
Well it would have been filmed differently yeah there's better ones if you search there was one that was completely terrifying to watch I think there were Russian
Can you imagine after crawling through these tight passages and finally seeing the outside light only to find out that the entrance to outside is too small for him to squeeze through?
That's why cavers always carry back up lights. It's also considered bad practice to go solo, in fact the minimum group size should be four. So if someone does have an accident one person can stay with them and two go for help. Having two people go for help means they can help each other if they have any problems on the way out.
Invest in glow sticks, I would leave them like bread crumbs so I can find my way out. It might cost a little but watch this video and ask yourself how mad you would be if you got really lost and were dying in a cave like this because you didn't want to use a little money.
Underwater cave diving, the caves have a "main" guideline, a strong cord through the main passages. If you leave the main line, you connect a reel to that line, and place a plastic arrow pointing out, why isn't this done in confusing parts of dry caves?
My cat Midnight loved this video for some reason. He watched all of it and was tapping the screen. This is the first youtube video he’s ever been interested in for the 6 years he’s been alive rn. You deserve a metal.
Bromethius88 didn't realize how bad he had it sitting in bed when I read about him. Then when I went for a run and was dizzy and lightheaded as hell did I realize how lucky I was I'm not wedged upside down alone in a 18 by 10in hole unable to move. Jesus fucking christ
The way you look around before making a move, gives us viewers the chance to decide which tunnel we'd choose... makes it more horrifying. All I know is I wouldn't go in any tunnel I felt squished in.
Whenever I have nightmares I often dream of getting stuck inside a cavern or a really narrow pipe system of sorts. I wake up sweaty, my pillow and sheets soaking wet and feeling forever grateful for it only being a dream. I cannot comprehend how people are willing to put themselves in situations like this. Absolutely appalling.
If that ever happened to me, when I got out I'd just start screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't know why but that just seems like it would feel right in that moment.
I live on the west side of Lake Apopka, where the springs that feed the lake are. So many divers have lost their lives diving in those springs. Diving in the springs here in Florida is pretty near suicide. I don’t know how many divers have successfully navigated those Apopka springs, if any? I’ve been living here for more than 30 years and it seemed like once or twice a year some divers would be lost to those springs, never to be found. I think that there are some underwater rivers there at the aquifer and one wrong move and they’re swept away by the currents. What a horrible way to die! They probably end up pushed against some rock face, unable to swim against the pressure, just waiting there until your oxygen runs out. I can think of better hobbies. There are also some monster sized gators around those spring heads, we’re talking 13 or 14 footers! I think the springs themselves are a far greater risk than any of the gators though. Even the gators are smart enough to avoid going down inside those caves.
I'm sure he learned from his mistake, but I have to commend him for remaining calm and collected and slowly working his way out of trouble. If he just succumbed to panic he might have gotten himself even more lost and disoriented.
As soon as I saw those tunnels branching I was thinking trail of breadcrumbs, no point in 2 people getting lost in a cave. Overall cool lava tubes, glad you made it out safe.
My friend and I got lost in a cave once. We entered through a crack into a circular passage and then couldn't find the way back out lol. After about the 5th trip around and starting to feel like the background on the Flintstones, I was honestly starting to freak out because nobody knew where we were. Then, we turned around and almost immediately found it. I was super relieved and from that time forward, I always carried a lot more food, water and lights/batteries with me.
That felt like the longest ten minutes ever.. I was feeling my anxiety levels rising.. why the F would anyone want to go down there.. it's a no from me!! Lol
This guy gives advice on the description about how he got lost and not to go alone in a cave and what's the first thing he those go in into a cave alone thanks for the advice! Smh! Lol
I got lost too. Inexperienced took no water no food. Thanks God had lighting. Got lost for over an hour in a cave in West Virginia. We climbed, crawed, jumped over deep crevices. Was bruised and battered. That was it for me. It was sooo interested and beautiful and amazing but from now on I watch it on RUclips.
Ideally you should cave with four people. If someone gets hurt one can stay with the victim and Two to exit the cave to seek help. Getting lost in a cave is the worst worst worst feeling.
INTENSE! INSANE!! Honestly don't know why or "how" I watched this. I am chronically claustrophobic!! When I saw that light at the end "throughout my hyperventilating" I realised there were tears running down my face. Stop it please!!! Climb a mountain or something! Lol
I would have turned into a frantic, inconsolable blabbering nutter displaying all characteristics of immediately going insane the moment I realised I was stuck...sink into the depths of despair and die......................... I can’t get into my headspace and try to understand how this man was calmly laughing about his predicament. I wouldn’t have even felt safe knowing I had cavers around me either.....Hooley Dooley ...hats off to you sir!
if you got lost there, how did you know which direction you choose, assuming that was the right path? did you choose the path that goes to upper one? just curious
Are you talking about the video about a guy who filmed strange voices in some mine? :D He said that he hears "birds or snakes"... ruclips.net/video/UVEU6n2eKtg/видео.html
This is why I always bring 2 stacks of 64 torches whenever I go caving. Place them around as you explore and if you want to leave just follow them back out! They also stop Zombies and Skeleton Archers from appearing behind you.
Josh s this IS not Minecraft
Really?.. Really 😑
Josh s stfu lol
Josh s hahaha I laughed way to hard at this
😂😂
After getting lost in Walmart I can sympathise.

follow the flow of the water if you find any i think
@@tyronescott9009 yes take a pee on the ground and follow it.
I would carry an extra 19 for back up

I love watching these caving videos, they make me feel so happy that I'm not caving.
Anytime i feel the urge to do a little bit of caving i watch them.
Not everbody same... Some people they hobby and they get the fell
Chile with popcorn in hand… me screaming at him watch out on your left 😂
Much more scary than horror movies.
Same with climbing and diving.
I can truly understand what you went through, I got lost putting a sweater on once, it was crazy never again😱.
Simon w - we’ve all been there my friend. Terrifying. I told myself ‘never again’ ...I wear cardigans now.
Lmao someone give this man a medal 😂
Lmao. Me too. I'm traumatized forever now
@@sian2337 lol
This comment deserves many many more likes 😂
oh man it was so relieving to see the sunlight
shittyflute omg I'm subbed to ya, so weird seeing you on this video yet at the same time I should of expected it
PUT A SPOILER TAG YO!!!!
Bloody panic attack Mr your nuts xxx
He should send google location in whatsapp
shittyflute he didn't act to excited
One of the main rules of caving is “DO NOT DO IT ALONE”
Jellybean studios yeah that way if you get lost at least one of you has something to eat
Tim Colla 😂😂😂
Hell, alone or with partners....John Jones went with his brother, and there was a team of people trying to rescue him, and to this day he is still stuck upside down in an 18 inch space that lead to his doom....no thanks, bro. I’ll pass.
MT Cosplay yeah u go with at least 3 people for one if some one gets stuck the other guy can stay with the stuck guy and the 3rd guy can get help
Your rules not his.
6 feet is the deepest I'm ever going to be in the ground. Until then, I'll have a beer and enjoy the ride.
1,120 feet is the deepest I've been. Ruby Falls,TN.
pinkfreud62 hard to get lost there lol...
Not a fan of basements??
pinkfreud62 😨😩
pinkfreud62 ruby falls was lit especially the waterfall at the end
I once looked down the tube of a toilet roll.
After that I would never go into a cave.
Daniel Baker savage!!!
If you want to go real hard, try the tube of a paper towel role!
I put tips of my index and thumb together. That was enough for me.
Daniel Baker
OMG! What a coincidence! That forced my early retirement as well!
Why did i laugh so hard at this..?
Imagine if the sunlight was all an illusion so was you getting out, and it turns out you were still back in that cave knocked out after hitting your head on a rock with your flashlight near dead.
Mysterious Box *pulls out gun*
the descent LOL
Is that a desent referance
And just imagine as you lay there thinking about how you decided to save $3 by buying the cheaper made-in-China lamp, the one with the "16 hour per charge guarantee" so you only bought one as it was only going to be a couple of hours exploring, and suddenly you realize the lamp is getting dimmer after just 2 hours and you still have no idea how to find your way out!

Wow kinda like that movie 1408
Best part about this caving is I can just watch it on RUclips and never physically go in a cave! Screw that!
How it feels when you loose your mom at the grocery store
toomey06 _ It's lose, not loose
I thought you were about to say, “how it feels to chew 5 gum.”
🤣🤣🤣😩
How loose is your mom?
The entire time I couldn't tell if you were crawling or climbing.
InvictuZ right?! I’m so disoriented right now? I figure he’s got a helmet cam so if he’s looking at his hands he’s probably crawling but it seems like he’s crawling upwards and isn’t that technically climbing?
He wasn't grabbing anything at all (his hands are open) so I believe he was crawling all the time.
InvictuZ crawling upwards i believe
BOTH.
I think he was first crawling, climbing and at the end again crawling.
I thought caving sounded cool untill i watch the video on the guy who died at nutty putty cave .... after that not so much
Scott Macleay honestly I would do it I would just never go some where tight
YoungBoy UNKNOWN most caving is squeezing through barely.
I saw it to. plus I am afraid of heights!!
It was only one dude....... People die more casually walking on the streets
@@rpalacios4215 bullshit.
My favorite part is when he gets out and his friends are just chilling 😆
His 2 friends relaxing outside the cave was like, hey does Bob no his way out... Nah let him figure it out.
my excuse is, I got lost driving to where the cave is, so I went back home, have fun guys.
(I never left the house)
Actually this happens all the time, finding the cave entrance is often harder than navigating the cave itself even when you have a guide book. Most overdue parties that cave rescue are contacted about are down to the group having entered the cave far later than they expected because they spent ages looking for the entrance. A small hole in the middle of a large moor can be tricky to spot even when you've been there before!
Correct
I wonder how many people have been lost forever in cave systems
geckomom74 that would result in death and it wouldn't take that long.
Plenty I'm sure, lots of animals too have gotten lost in caves, there bones laying there for hundred or thousands of years.
The worst was that chunky guy who got stuck upside down in the nutty putty cave, and for hours and hours rescue people tried to get him out but he died and they left him there and sealed the cave up!
Victorian Sculptures the hole John Jone got wedged in was only 18inches x10inches. He wasn’t a chunky guy.
Victorian Sculptures That animal fact made me feel sad...
There have been a few bodies found, skeletons as well.
When the expression: "The light at the end of the tunnel" applies so hard here, wow scary stuff
This is why you shouldn't cave alone. Additional members increase the likelihood of remembering the route you took to get in.
I always remember how to get out.. when I turn RUclips off and go to bed 😂
Imagine hearing someone said “hey! Wanna play?”
Omg, this is better than any horror movie
not really. Watch The Descent.
Zenzuu ✌on netflix now
Well it would have been filmed differently yeah there's better ones if you search there was one that was completely terrifying to watch I think there were Russian
@@Zenzuu Thats a good movie indeed
That was so disorienting. I can't even tell which way is up 😱
In that case, you drop a rock to find the down direction
@@gravitasonline6760 That's so Creepy. But thanks lol
Lol u will always know which way is up when u fight against gravity xD
You could tell by the way you go if you feel like your body is going down then that means to go up . It’s gravity
Spit
Can you imagine after crawling through these tight passages and finally seeing the outside light only to find out that the entrance to outside is too small for him to squeeze through?
at least its a meter away out and a breathable air. Finding pointed rock to use as excavator
if my flashlight died in a situation like this I would panic
Bogan Danić If your flashlight dies while your in this you also die so I would panic too lol.
Anton Danić, I would scream mommy, and if no one come in an hour I would die.
I'd panic with or without flashlight
you would have died as well. No way to get out:/
That's why cavers always carry back up lights. It's also considered bad practice to go solo, in fact the minimum group size should be four. So if someone does have an accident one person can stay with them and two go for help. Having two people go for help means they can help each other if they have any problems on the way out.
Got lost in a cave on my own myself once. Its one hell of a feeling. Always go with others
why don't cavers bring a large spool of fishing line with them, tie it off at the entrance, then follow it back out when they're done?
soccermastax..... many do
just call an Uber ..
Gliding Squirrel yessir eskettit
Uber couldn't find the address lol
Smart ones do.
Spoiler alert. He makes it out. I never get lost in lava tubes. I just don't go the right way sometimes.
Duh. He wouldn’t have been able to post the video if he was still stuck in there
Invest in glow sticks, I would leave them like bread crumbs so I can find my way out. It might cost a little but watch this video and ask yourself how mad you would be if you got really lost and were dying in a cave like this because you didn't want to use a little money.
Kind of a waste and bad for nature if you just leave em there, classically people trail a rope or string behind them so they can follow it back
Underwater cave diving, the caves have a "main" guideline, a strong cord through the main passages. If you leave the main line, you connect a reel to that line, and place a plastic arrow pointing out, why isn't this done in confusing parts of dry caves?
Arrows are drawn and white stripes on routes
My cat Midnight loved this video for some reason. He watched all of it and was tapping the screen. This is the first youtube video he’s ever been interested in for the 6 years he’s been alive rn. You deserve a metal.
How funny and unsurprising. Dark, narrow, confusing tunnels must be a cat's dream.
RIP JOHN JONES

I was praying your light wouldn't go out
That's kinda like praying the Union wins against the Confederacy....doesn't really matter if you pray or not...shit is already set in stone.

I wake up sweaty, my pillow and sheets soaking wet and feeling forever grateful for it only being a dream. I cannot comprehend how people are willing to put themselves in situations like this. Absolutely appalling.
I wouldn’t mind a wide cave and I don’t want to go too far, but this us crazy
Yeah man that made me cough in the late night..
Some people are men.
You can hear the relief in his breath after seeing light
If that ever happened to me, when I got out I'd just start screaming at the top of my lungs. I don't know why but that just seems like it would feel right in that moment.
This feeling of finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel!! I was breathing with him!
I thankfully never have to worry about dying in a cave system.
Who else saw the entrance and was like hmmmm . Maybe I WOULD go cave exploring .
Mmmm no.
Did my first cave last summer, a great experience! With a guide is much safer.
I get lost in a stupid block games caves and can't find my way out but this dude does it in real life. God I would've been so dead!
Mother Nature: You Scary
It will never cease to amaze me why people do this. You were extremely lucky.
That was only 10 minutes, just watching it felt like 6 hours, imagine how he felt
In Florida our caves are filled with water and have Alligators in the top :D
Mac Hawkins so true

I'd go caving, when I can get a drone in there.
Thank God you didn't get stuck down there.
I didn't know I can be so scared from a video. Glad you made it out. Definitely changed my mind about being too explorey
I wanna sleep in a cave like at the entrance so I don't get confused when I wake up
phew! so glad you found your way out of those pesky lava tunnels!
I'm sure he learned from his mistake, but I have to commend him for remaining calm and collected and slowly working his way out of trouble. If he just succumbed to panic he might have gotten himself even more lost and disoriented.
Got lost dirt biking once never thought id find my way back. The relief when you finally make it is like winning the lottery.
When u realise the diffrence between a cave and a cavern
hmm! Once I lost myself in Dubai Mall, experience is almost same ;-)
As soon as I saw those tunnels branching I was thinking trail of breadcrumbs, no point in 2 people getting lost in a cave. Overall cool lava tubes, glad you made it out safe.
That was better than any suspense thriller. Real Life with a happy ending:D I like--Thank you Ellert.
there's got to be a better system than just memory.

Lost in a cave and climbing alone, what a brave man. I salute you.
As an underwater cave diver , we ALWAYS run a line from the service and tie into existing lines or run a continuous line at all times.
going alone into this king of place is pure suicide
why didnt he just tower up with cobble?
or break some blocks with a pickaxe!
"im lost in a cave where do i go" CAVE: "back the way you came"
I would have panicked. You are so lucky to have found your way out. Can you imagine getting totally lost in there and have to die in there. WOW
That felt like the longest ten minutes ever.. I was feeling my anxiety levels rising.. why the F would anyone want to go down there.. it's a no from me!! Lol
That cave is beautiful, if cramped. Would have loved to grab samples.
The only happy moment is when you see the light where you can get out of the he'll hole cave you crawled into.

Imagine finding the light only to see its shining through a hole you can’t even fit through
after watching "the descent" there's no way in hell im exploring a cave system, especially alone.
I've never watched it...or caved...only logical solution is to watch it alone in a cave
Beware the 'crawlers...'
ugh just watching this makes me feel a bit sick
Mates are like "why do you do this everytime? No one is going to believe you magically got lost then found your way out."
Ideally you should cave with four people. If someone gets hurt one can stay with the victim and Two to exit the cave to seek help. Getting lost in a cave is the worst worst worst feeling.
This is what you see going through alcohol Withdrawls 😬
INTENSE! INSANE!! Honestly don't know why or "how" I watched this. I am chronically claustrophobic!! When I saw that light at the end "throughout my hyperventilating" I realised there were tears running down my face. Stop it please!!! Climb a mountain or something! Lol
This is a lot more fun in Minecraft
If that was me I would literally curl up on the ground and cry, because I am terrified of getting stuck worse knowing I’m lost.
Insane!
Never dig straight up thats rule number 1
How did I get here from watching motorcycle videos at 2 am..
with that narrow field of view and constant cuts to a different perspective, its no wonder you got lost
My guy you were there all by yourself???
If I was lost in there I would probably cry myself to sleep then die of lack of oxygen because there's probably not enough down there
Good.
I would have turned into a frantic, inconsolable blabbering nutter displaying all characteristics of immediately going insane the moment I realised I was stuck...sink into the depths of despair and die.........................

My favorite way to keep from getting lost in a cave is to Not. Go. Caving.
if you got lost there, how did you know which direction you choose, assuming that was the right path?
did you choose the path that goes to upper one? just curious
by the way, you are so lucky that you always succesfully choose the right tunnel, imagine if you accidentally get wrong for for only once...
