We're still out here having a good time. Production has slowed but it shouldn't end. As you can see Jacob has not stopped growing and there's no end in sight. How can we stop him? We've tried everything.
Is he the king of corn starch ?
oh my gosh He has grown!
@@DpliskinHe’s a gym rat when not caving.
Damn he has grown! Still not *too* big, but getting there. Thanks for recording your adventures - you guys are awesome 🤟
How come production has slowed? Just starting watching recently, love it!
Dear lord, Jacob's a giant, looks like he could eat his way through a cave. He's *your* caving guardian now 😂
Thanks for the content. This was awesome.
We should stop feeding Jacob, but he’s just eat cave creatures!
Jacob has grown !! My gosh, He is a young man now. It's crazy how fast children grow
He just hasn't stopped growing. He had a growth spurt but it just continues. He's just over 6ft now.
@@EvenDarker Damn, he's taller than me now, hahahha
I remember when being compact was one of his top caving assets, now you guys are on the same playing field.
I hope he continues caving, he seems to be a natural.
Amazing. The bit where Jacob went without sliders "because I want to" was so impressive. Thanks for sharing, guys.
He may not do that again. Skin is tough to replace.
Man watching jacob grow through these videos with you teaching has been truly awesome your a hell of unc
He graduates in a few weeks. Time flies of course.
And to start out the opening with Jacob wedged in…. Claustrophobia level 1k ..your so positive, encouraging and calm over all and beyond in these edventures with bean sprout Jacob and pops..be safe ❤️🇺🇸
And to think, this part of the cave was undiscovered until now.
You guys are absolute legends
Kind words. Just love exploring.
Jacob has really grown!
And that is a bit of a problem. Just passing 6 foot.
Time to get a support cave cat animal for a companion. Glad to see both of you back in the game
We never left the game, but making videos is the biggest challenge.
Jacob is still king of claustrophobia, and I still can't breathe when I watch these videos
He has no fear of tight places. He doesn’t care at all for spiders, however.
I don't think he has stopped growing! When I first started watching this channel he was just a little guy. Now he is a young man. What a great ride. Thanks for taking us along with you in this journey of life.
You have brought so much joy and light into my life by just watching and sharing these experiences with us all here. I am grateful for these things. Never forget that and always know it in your hearts folks. 🖤🤍🖤👌
Kind words. Jacob shot up and is a gym rat. His red mop is on top of a quiet and loving gentleman.
That makes my abdomen hurt. Lol.
Ours too.
This has to be the most wack video I’ve ever seen on RUclips and I am so here for it. You’ve got a new subscriber. As dangerous as this seems somehow it seems safe watching this. I went cave diving with a friend a few years ago and once we had to start squeezing through parts I was immediately ready to turn around. Props to you and props to your son.
Thank you! And this is our low tier channel with poorly edited videos. There is morel terror if you find our main page. And welcome to the dark Frontier.
u went cave diving with a friend? or do you mean caving?
Calvin constantly maintains that calm, reassuring voice the whole way through.
There's no panic, no stress, just take your time, remember your training, and keep moving forward.
This is therapy after two tours in the gulf.
Thanks for watching.
@@billsanders9387
I can only imagine.
That ending where Jacob keeps growing…hilarious !
We have given up hope trying to stop him!
So cool.. wish I had caves like this nearby to go and explore
You likely do. We live in one of the least cave areas of the united states. We have to travel hours to do any significant caving. Caves are the great secret of the underworld.
I wonder if this is the protected cave he talked about in another video. I love the fact that some caves are so beautiful and rare that real cavers hide the location to perserve the beauty. I dont love the fact they have to or else idiots would coke destroy it, tho.
This cave is protected. There are a few in the area. What's interesting is this specific cave received protection not because of passerbyers but because cavers were the ones that were messing it up. Back in the day prior to LED lights there was a lot of Lighting systems that required garbage dumps so to speak. Cave is relieving lighting leftovers as well as food packages and just generally trashing the cave. I thought that was odd.
Just goes to show it's kind of everyone's responsibility not to be a big fat jerk.
Wow we have watched Jacob turn from a young boy to a grown man! You guys are awesome!
Can we send you the food bill?
@@billsanders9387 I wish! I've got three of my own young men to look after.
@@benny-co2xb Our check is in the mail. 🤗
@@billsanders9387 Awesome thank you!
i always love seeing new videos from u two! love from canada :)
If we keep crawling, we may reach Canada!
One side of mom’s family is from Saskatchewan. Great people.
Jakob has become a real man meanwhile. Time sure flies. 😅
Shot up over a foot very quickly. Cave air must be healthy.
There's no way I can get through that I rather watch you guys go through that because there's no way I I don't know how you stay so Calm. But I guess you have to not panic,,
To panic would be very dangerous. We just don’t!
You guys are crazy brave...or just crazy. Love the videos.
Lol! Great comment. We live in the wild area of the Northwest, and exploring is our joy.
jacob gettin big he was just young eating a lunchable in the last vid hey guys .. scary vids ... nice tho ... i watch them becuase id never do this .. because i have u all to do for me so thank u all
Jacob seems to grow from breathing cave air. He won’t stop.
Have you ever found an new, unexplored cave?
I ask because sometimes it''s disheartening to find an awesome cave and then see graffiti and needles everywhere.
It's almost like junkie hobos are the best cavers, they are everywhere.
Most of the caves we are in are new and unexplored. That's all we look for. I was with the group when we opened up this cave. Jacob is actually the fifth human in it ever. And it's likely that no one else will ever get in it. It's too narrow.
There are more caves on this Earth than you probably would be willing to believe if I gave you a number. But if you're able to explore and find caves to others have entered there's a good chance there are more caves in that area where people have not entered. Shouldn't be that difficult but learning geography or joining an organized caving group are helpful to finding undiscovered caves.
I couldn’t do this knowing I had to go back through the same tight spot to get out that I had to go through getting in. I know my limits!
We push our limits. That’s the best way to know them.
Oh wow Jacob has really grown! Always amazes me how fast boys turn to men.
Waaaay too fast!! Thanks for watching.
my lord, I keep forgetting how easily the shirts/etc. rip - for the love of all thing - WEAR A CUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send shirts! The local thrift stores ran out. 😂
hi guys great video.
Thanks for watching. Amazing cave. Never entered previously.
It would be really cool to have a rough idea of how far underground you guys are. I know when you see roots that means it’s relatively shallow, but what about other areas?
Not that this isn’t awesome in and of itself!
If we ever get real deep, we would let the audience know. Most caves follow the lay of the land. They go downhill if the land goes down here. Most natural caves don't go straight down like a mine or a digged well.
Real deep caves are rare. There's one around here that is about 1,600 feet deep and we'd like to visit that some day.
Yall are wild
But very slow!
Morning guys, that was a very cool cave. Yeah way to tight for me. Hood job Jacob. I have been watching you for a year at the most but Jacob has aged me 10. Lol
Great comment! Teenagers will do that to you.
@@billsanders9387 They sure do.
I watch this to see how good my anxiety medication is
if i came out to the dark frontier... and some1 much worse at caving kept telling me to watch my head... and underhandedly micro managing my movements... i would eat them... it is a testament to how much jacob must like calvin...
or how much control calvin has over jacob...
Well done Jacob....we love you in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Jacob tries to fake your accent. It sounds…um, fake. 😂
Always frightening and impressive. Side note, you guys could probably do great in arm wrestling.
I do love me some good arm wrestling. Trying to teach Jacob technique as he's getting stronger and I'm getting weaker. Rise and pronate!
Jacob out here looking like belongs in a teen boyband idol group! Boys glowing the hell up
I don’t have any suggestions but I can see how this “growing” phenomenon might be a problem 😂
I am not a minute in and my stomach is already cold as gosh darn ice. Cheers, Jacob!
Cheers
Great videos guys. I often wonder, what would you do if your light(s) stopped working.
They will not stop working. We have too many backups and too many batteries and light sources that aren't battery powered. And also we can get out in the dark.
I can't put odds against it but the odds of losing light down there are astronomically low. We just have too many sources.
And, I've never had a flashlight fail. Modern LEDs are quite reliable.
We have a list of concerns but light is not one of them. The trick is to try to guess what we're actually concerned about. It's not light and it's not animals and it's not getting stuck and it's not getting lost.
I would never fit thru that tight sqeeze but I'm also disabled, i use a rollator and wheelchair 😂
It must be horrible for Jacob knowing how much easier these squeezes were when he was younger.
You fit through what you fit through. And that's it. He can still generally squeeze through stuff better than the rest of us. Being young and thin
Tru spec pants... I bought several pairs of those when I worked at a fabrication company. Any other pants I'd wear I'd come home with a new hole but the Tru spec ones come with lots of pockets and are extremely hard to rip.
I checked them out and they are fairly similar to what we wear. Ripstop Tactical pants. The only problem I have with most of those tactical pants is the pockets catch. If they don't rip that means we crawl out of the pants, if they do RIP that means we have pants with big holes in them. And they rip a lot! But they are what we wear because they rip less than pretty much everything else.
I'm not actually positive what brand we buy but maybe our next cycle we will take a look at the tru spec. Another issue is that they aren't very warm. Denim is fairly warm. These caves are freezing. So I often wear a layer of warmth underneath the Tactical pants. But then if it all gets wet it weighs a lot.
All that being said, I might check out the true spec pants on the next pants buying cycle. So thank you for offering an actual brand with your suggestion.
Кака вы еще не боитесь лазить в пещере 😱
Things our father taught us. “Fear not”! Now you figure out which father.
Does Jacob also have a map of the caves you explore/know how to get out when it's just the two of you? If not, what would he do if (God forbid) you had a heart attack or something and he needs to get out to call for help?
It's a fair question but it's no different than if someone had a heart attack while driving. It's so desperately unlikely that nobody gives it an extra thought. And they shouldn't.
That being said Jacob's fully trained to get himself out of a cave. He's as good a caver as anybody. Like, in the world.
Is air quality ever a concern in these caves? When you showed the draft all I could think about was breathing all that dust in
Air quality in the cave is probably better than the air quality in most homes. It's a little cold though and sometimes that bothers people's breathing.
Why would you risk your life like this really? What you going to do if you get stuck?
Make another video. We get stuck quite a bit. We get unstuck the exact same amount. Thanks for watching.
@@billsanders9387 fair enough lol 😂
@@naocam1 The hammer drill in the backpack isn’t shown on video. We use it only if necessary. C’mon and try a cave. 🤗
just a question. how many T-shirts or sweaters do you wear out in the caves on a yearly basis? ;) and what was those red streamers where you said to your son pay attention? On 14,21 I think it was
The local thrift stores love to see us coming. Hoodies may be destroyed in one cave, or last several trips. It just depends on the crawling. Streamers are used to mark fragile formations that we never want to damage.
A Yoga class or two would be really helpful to keep your joints all flexible.
I used to be stiff as an ironing board until I started going to yoga,
Plus you get to meet a lot of women. 😂
I'm naturally pretty flexible. When Yoga, is available at the gym I take it and yes, it's a lot of ladies.
I suspect men don't because it's hard.
Calvin i have a question for you if you were one of the rescuers for john jones would you have done anything different to try free him? or do u agree that there was no way to get him out?
I’m Calvin’s father…first caved in 1957.
Having insufficient rescue gear was a huge error. However, inexperienced people trying to cave alone is beyond our imagination.
@@billsanders9387 nice to hear from you bill and thank you for getting back to me 👍
What about crazy-carpets? Those snow-sled things. Too long? It'd probably be really cumbersome to carry around. Have you tried it before?
We've tried almost everything. We use the plastic sliders because they are light and they fit in our backpack and they work pretty well. It's really revolutionized our caving. Jacob didn't really even need them in here.
@@EvenDarkerHow many tshirts do you go through a year?
@@sarahkearns1073Ask the local thrift shops.
You need to invent some Kevlar caving shirts
That sounds comfortable.
it would be good to see where you are in rleation to entrance , distnaces and stuff.
We offer some of that editing on our main page.
80? Damn. How long has grandpa been caving? Since the 50s?
Yeah I guess so. He has wild outdoor adventure stories from when he was a kid which was the early 50s.
How do you guys not get lost honestly?
We memorize the cave.
Are you looking for Agartha?
Never heard of her.
Nah, man. Nah.
omg he has GROWN like a weed!!!!!
Like a terrible terrible weed that won't stop growing yes.
ur carzy thier Jacob 😮😮
It's worth it
I like your shirt Jacob.
Thank you, the shirt is no longer
god thats too much
We take Him with us.
how cut was your body on way back . if it tore up clothes on way in
We carry an extra hoodie to use when needed. Extra skin is hard to find in shops.
@@billsanders9387 ah ok you got it all covered.
