There is a tool we use on the construction site, to look into walls, as an electrician, we use it when pulling wires in walls to make sure there’s not obstructing our path we plan on pulling the wire through. It’s called “Ferret Pro Wireless Inspection Camera”. It packs up pretty small, and you could use it to look in caves you haven’t entered yet, and figure out if there are any dangers ahead. Just a thought.

[@CalvinHikes]

We have quite a bit of similar gear. Which I'm probably now gonna call our ferret. We use it when necessary but it's rare. And every cave is so different that we have to modify in specific passages. I've even simply attached a go pro camera to the end of a rotating plumbing line.

Thank you! The biggest factors make it a little easier where that it's not a terribly rugged cave and it's much warmer than our lava tubes. But there is vertical so a person needs to climb to be able to get in there. Otherwise it's also very small compared to caves we are used to. There was maybe a 100 feet (30 m) of crawlway in hellhole. We commonly do over a 1000 feet at a time.

Great video keep up the great work! My friends and I actually did this not too long after your success on July 31 and took the same route you did! I personally had claustrophobia and when I saw these sort of videos beforehand, and I shivered at the feats y’all take and never saw myself doing anything of this sort in a million years. The first couple rooms were scary at first with the body-tight crawls, especially corkscrew being disoriented for part of the time, but then I turned on some relaxing music and we had a good time to the bottom and put our names in the log! We had great guides so everything went relatively smoothly just rather slow, because we had more people in our group, but the experience was definitely one to remember! I think one thing that was really useful was having lots of light, especially on the vertical sections where the headlamps sometimes wouldn’t make do, which was where our extras lamps held by people above or below us really helped! Good luck in your future adventures and stay safe :D P.S. I also learned not to bring good shoes the hard way! I brought a pair of running shoes and they now have holes all over so I now need new ones haha

[@CalvinHikes]

That's awesome to hear you did it. It's a great cave to learn in because it's relevant yeah relatively safe but still quite tight in a few spots and it does require pretty athletic climbing. Most caves are pretty hard on shoes and clothes in general. Yes, We think more light is better as well. When we finally start taking big flashlights it kind of changed the way we cave. Yet with less light my own tolerances for darkness is less. With good lights the caves are prettier easier to navigate and I can stay in them for days.

The video is enough for me lol im 6 foot 4 and 240 lbs I don't squeeze into holes as a rule.

[@bisonxdvr]

i used to be terrified of this stuff but it has always fascinated me. after watching your video of how unrealisticr most fears about caving are I really want to try a proper cave now

[@CalvinHikes]

Its super fun

[@jbvap]

I feel the same way man, I imagine that it’s something you work your way up too.

[@tomerhesed3364]

Wow you guys are crazy! How old is London? She looks really young

[@anshdharmadhikari1913]

Loved the energy of the video

[@CalvinHikes]

Thank you. We dislike slow paced... time wasting videos.

[@SyntheticaShow]

I really love how enthusiastic you are. It must be awesome to go with you into one of those graboids tunnels

[@CalvinHikes]

It's very fun

[@isctony]

Nice of you guys to do this and film it so I can sit on my sofa eating Doritos and have no danger of getting stuck whilst still experiencing the cave

[@tgoodfella4290]

Iv been waiting on u guys to go there

[@evanbarnes9984]

Yes dude! This made my day! I went to the college this is near (kind of secret cave), and took a bunch of hikes to find the entrance. I eventually did it with two friends, and it was incredible! I'd love to go back some day, that was something like 9 years ago now. I had to abandon my helmet at the birth canal because i have a big head, and my helmet got stuck. Seriously, this absolutely made my day! So psyched

[@evanbarnes9984]

Oh my god I want to come on your return trip! I'm good with technical rope work, been rock and tree climbing (arborist techniques) for years

[@ISA-bw2yg]

As scary as it is (just for the spiders at the beginning) it's interesting to do some radical exploration. But since I'm chubby I can use this as an excuse not to go in even though I'm small.I would use that as an excuse not to be afraid haha. But there isn't even Hell Hole in Brazil *my dear country* ...am I scared or just too worried?😐

[@CalvinHikes]

No excuses! There's plenty of things you can do and there is plenty of larger caves. Whenever I see a book or a video or pictures of some exotic place I just think, why not me!?

[@McCoveyBergman]

“Do we like it no we don’t do we love it yes we do”😂😂😂Lamo

[@jekster]

Put Hell Hole in the title for the algo!

[@CalvinHikes]

OK. The algo put this pretty high already.

[@jekster]

@@CalvinHikes Awesome! You deserve it. :)

[@Fuhgit-lu4tj]

If you made it that far down, put up any art you want. A very huge minority of people will ever see it. Props to the artist. Props to the folks who actually see it too

[@cyborg5088]

I just started watching your guys videos and I was like they should go to hell hole. (What a coincidence 😂)

[@CalvinHikes]

Well, we've had about 10,000 requests so we finally made the trip.
