Going Into A Low Airspace River Cave In A Thunderstorm

[@CaveChronicles]

This was a scary one! 0_o

[@sudonymh]

Please be safe. We all love watching your videos, but *WE* are not worth your lives. 😕

[@TheHungrySlug]

I really enjoyed watching your video. I love how you check out all the little things like scum lines, crystals and all the types of calcite formation and flow stones. I think I would have wussed out on going in there with rain on the forecast, that or how close to the cave ceiling the water level was, or how deep it got. Looks like you were have some great fun swimming around down there. Cheers mates, from Australia.

**blinks twice, sips soda** nope. **Walks away**

[@sidkear9743]

As an old caver (72) I don't get to get underground anymore but I really enjoy your channel, although you sometimes worry me. one thing we used to do to avoid getting turned around in an unfamiliar cave was to use tongue depressor sticks (big popsicle sticks) we put orange reflective tape on half of one side and white reflective tape on the other side. when we came to a split in the passage we would place a reflective stick in the rock, orange means you are going in white indicates you are headed out. last man pulls the sticks and nothing is left behind, and your ready for your next adventure. these are especially helpful if you find yourself in a stressful situation. Hope this idea is helpful. be safe,

[@nefariumxxx]

Good advice. Things can look different on the way out leading to confusion and wrong choices. I would not have even gone there with rain in the forecast. An hour later and it may have become a search and rescue/recovery.

[@Getyourmomoffmygrom]

I will definitely be adding this to my cave bag.

[@S550STANG]

Some good sound advise for people just learning. Good way to mark the route!

Scary how fast that could have turned into a tragedy. Just recently found your channel and it's great man. Please don't drown.

[@Equinox601]

“It all worked out” is not the most reassuring thing to be relying on. It’s probably worth getting a better system for way marking guys.

[@mykolatkachuk7770]

[@brooklyngraham1151]

I think the sketchiest feeling in the world is being in a cave and knowing you’re lost. As hard as it was raining when you guys got out, I bet that thing was flooded to the ceiling not long after. Great video as always!

[@kspen6110]

Even though I know you're safe because you released this video, I was still anxious that you had no idea what time it was, kept pushing further into a flooded cave, started shivering and couldn't find the way out. Thank goodness you didn't stay in there longer with that pouring rain.

[@liamterry5301]

I've been commenting this on your page for a while now about this. After your experience here I hope you take this to heart. You have to start following some safety protocols because at this point it's just a matter of time before you or one of your friends gets hurt or killed in one of these caves. I know you've been doing it for actually not that long but a little while but it would be a tragedy for something serious to happen just cause you're not taking a little extra time to put some safety steps in your cave experience. Accidents that lead to death happen to often in caves don't be the next news headline it would break a lot of people's heart's.

[@Whickedlee]

[@joshhigdon4951]

I bet you're a lot of fun in person. You dont understand the mindset. This is living for these guys. Maybe reckless at times, but that's life. Eating fast food, drinking, smoking, vaccines, etc are all bad for your health.

[@happybone1978]

Guys.....I absolutely LOVE your channel. However....I am seriously worried about your luck running out one day. You only beat the odds so many times until finally one day your luck runs out. If you both knew that this cave had even the possibility of there being water all the way to the ceiling, you should have been more prepared and brought some sort of scuba gear. I also want to know if you guys make it a habit to always check the local area news station doppler radar before you go into a wet cave? Guys that is something that can save your lives......I love watching you guys and I watch these videos with my family....The last thing I want to see is bad news that one or both of you lost your life in an accident that could have been prevented. STAY SAFE!

[@rpglennj]

Thanks for documenting your journeys. As an educational aside, I continue to encourage you guys to shore up your safety protocols. GROUP SIZE: You need at least a minimum of 3 in a group so if there’s an injury, one can tend to the injured and the other go for help. WEATHER: The cave is known to flood/sump and even if there’s a just a 15% chance of precipitation for the forecast area, you should take into account the area that drains into the cave too. Summertime convective storms- even if a slim chance and isolated- can be disastrous if the storm is geographically placed right. Know the type of storm mode predicted too…….are they going to be progressive and be on the move? Or will they be air-mass type and sit over one area for a time (and produce higher amounts)? When are they expected (typically late-day)? Know how to read the local National Weather Service forecast discussion so you can be informed early as to whether it’d be a good idea to enter a wet cave on that forecast day. CLOTHING: In this day and age with the technical synthetic clothing materials available for adventure recreation, there’s no reason to be in jeans in a wet cave. TIME: Always have a reliable way to monitor time underground and it should be attached to your person. MONITORING PHYSICAL CONDITION: If your extremities are losing feeling due to cold after being submerged, you’re compounding your ability to mitigate an emergency should you need to exit quickly…..or negotiate technical moves requiring manual dexterity of foot and hand. NAVIGATION: I agree with others that you need a systematic way of marking your exit in major junctions in a new cave. This only ensures your quicker exit should you need it and conserves energy wasted down dead-end/wrong passages. At the very least, periodically looking behind you to making mental note of key formations since the passage will look different on the way out.

[@Beaneabean]

They wont listen lmao

[@kevinfelker5544]

You had my heart rate raised up. This was a great video. I'm happy you are safe.

It would be cool if you guys did a video explaining your gear and the techniques you use while caving. Maybe you could upload it to your second channel for those who want to learn more about caving.

I've never done what you guys do, so I can't explain why I'm compelled to watch. I've been watching your new and old videos for a few months now. I can't comprehend what your drive is to go deeper and deeper into smaller and smaller spaces. You guys never stop until the path is impassable. Is this a divine form of madness? Y'all don't seem insane, but still, haha hehe, CARRY ON!!

[@Twas-RightHere]

"a divine form of madness"... I love it haha

I have never done most of the stuff ive seen on TV and on the internet. That is no barrier to my watching it. Ive never been hired to solve the mystery of a missing dolphin and subsequently uncovered the evil of a disgraced football star with a secret. i have enjoyed the watch.

[@Theideaman]

You know all your videos are awesome! Especially since we are able to watch them through our computers and phones in the comfort our homes, BUT fellas please consider a few safety tips from your fans. Check the weather, check the weather, check the weather before exploring AND have some type of markers to find your way back out!! Safety first guys!!!!💪🏼

[@rogical4929]

These are so fun to watch. Puts you on the edge of your seat sometimes. But it's just lovely watching this with headphones on. It'll be the closest a lot of us come to this.

Bro, you guys should really consider some form of direction marking in the cave. Don't gamble with your life. And knowing you could be underwater at any time since rain can be unpredictable.

Rain isn't that unpredictable 😂 not like they're down there for days, and did you not see the guide wire?

Man, cave diving that labyrinth when fully flooded would be so fun! Crystal clear waters, a sandy beach floor, the cute cave corals sprinkle on the ceilings, the constant splits, could definitely get lost, but dude, such a beautiful system! A good time for sure! Love it! Be safe and keep on caving! Love this channel!

[@Sights-and-Sounds_777]

I watch these when i dont have enough anxiety in my life 😅 even though it seems reckless at times im not saying do this, dont do that, cause ive done so many sketchy solo hiking adventures without even telling anyone where i was, let alone filming it, i should be in a David Paulides video. The best times of my life were often the most naive and unprepared. Never the less, i dont do that stuff unprepared anymore and caves freak me out, so thanks for these adventures! Super cool 👍

[@craig4557]

The instant you started shivering you BOTH should have turned around.

[@Shawn-yp9ic]

"Check this out" is such the perfect first words for a caving video. The cave gave me the creeps, but IT IS a cave and you guys sent it man, with the deep water and ear-dipping it, then cold and lost, concerned about predicted rain, so glad you die the exit cause the rain was coming down when you did!

[@mrjacktraeger]

At first i thought the other kid just couldnt catch subtle hints but then quickly realized his complete disregard simply cuz he wanted to keep going. Ngl i dont like this one, from the cold to if your lost and stuck treading water with nothing to grab& boots on, to the fact that you guys were in there while its pouring rain. I know u guys know what your doing but sometimes feel as though youve done it so many times with no hiccups youve forgotten how fast things can go wrong in a split second and get a bit of thrill goin in with no markers or anything. The main guy filming is usually down for everything & for him to have to mention hes cold multiple times & his mate just completely ignores it because hes got a divesuit & wants more footage is just total reckless abandon for situational awareness that can either prevent or cause catastrophe . For u guys to be just winging it on directions in the ones not filled with water is one thing but caves like this demand their respect. Awsome vid as always though

[@t.m.1377]

I agree. I was pissed. I really like these guys and don't want to the b to die. Young people often don't stop to think of the consequences of their actions

[@ChucksGhost01]

There have been a few hiccups like the cave where the water was rising and dudes head went under, or the occasional panic attack with no room to breath between the water and the ceiling. Good thing I'm on this side.

wow! I'm tripping along with you guys, loving the color of the water, and how smooth this cave looks...it doesn't look like it's out for blood... then I hear - I think we got turned around.... I don't remember seeing a smiley face ... that just got super tense for me... since I started watching your vids, I have always been amazed at how you seem to have this infallible sense of direction! always upbeat, and always ending with the relief of seeing you exit the cave. but to hear the word ...lost... if you guys would have run out of batteries and not shown your exit, I think I would have had some serious anxiety until you posted again! was that a rock or mud bottom river? the water seemed to stay so clear, like there wasn't much sediment getting stirred up. we need to find a bright underwater light for you guys, caustic lines are amazing - and seeing them in a cave would be other worldly! ok... how often do you guys get lost on the surface,?😃

Imagine ur on the news, “this person was found dead in a cave whilst in a thunderstorm, and tragically died”, please be more careful, u don’t wanna put yourself on the news headline for tomorrow, just keep this in heart and promise to go in caves that are more safer or doesn’t cause any claustrophobic problems that could lead to hyperventilating which technically leads to death, due to loss of breath because of panicking. I don’t mean you should stop doing it, I just mean that maybe caves that gives anxiety/claustrophobic problems aren’t really good for you, because you don’t wanna die because of having fun. It’s tragic.

I thought you were getting close to this being a "found footage" film.

[@deandeann1541]

I didn't like that cave. I couldn't see any part of the cave that looked like it couldn't completely fill up - it looked like if it started to flood the part nearer the entrance could fill before the deep part did, leaving you stuck in the deep part with no way out as it slowly filled to the ceiling with nowhere to go that was safe to wait for the water to go down - also, it was so wide that it could look way different when the water rose 3 inches which could mix you up more. It won't break my heart if you never go back to that one.

My son and I rented a lantern at the entrance (of course we had headlamps too) it was very fun. But then also on tht mountain in another spot is a lava tube maybe 25 feet long, about 15 feet underground only big enough to crawl through. It is a little attraction with signs and stuff. My son really wanted to try it so I did but I still habe nightmares about that horrible closing in feeling under the ground. The walls were totally smoothe volcanic glass. It was neat but I prefer big giant tall caves lol
