Evan I've been watching you and Jacob for over a year. Many thanks for all the adventures. I am claustrophobic and when I I first started watching I would pace in front of the TV watching snippets building up my tolerance. Months of watching allowed me to watch the entire adventure with moments of uneasy. Today I believe you are by yourself and that was tight. Only flashes of uneasy for me at your tightest moments. My uneasiness arises knowing your exploring new areas that might not allow you to turn around after having passed through very tight squeezes. Your attitude, spelunking knowledge and one with your capabilities display a consummate professional. Thanks for sharing.

Average driving age has been set back 2 years over the past generation. When I was a kid at least half kids had their driver's license at 16. That age is now 18. No need for desire to go outside and explore the world. There's a clean comfortable warm world in your house on your couch with your phone. And then everyone's sad and no one knows why.
@Siberius-

A lot of this is also FROM car-centric urban planning (I'll talk about the U.S.). People used to play outside and explore a lot more, but NOW if kids go out and play, it's often a nightmare of giant roads, no footpaths, everything is designed for cars and the road rules are also dangerous for pedestrians. Giant sprawling suburbs with nothing to see and do, there's often one strip mall servicing a huge suburb where every house looks the same, but you generally need a car to even get there, or anywhere (the birth of the "soccer mom" in her giant SUV to make her feel more safe compared to what they used to drive, a station wagon), and then the teenagers get told to leave the shitty strip mall anyway because they're loitering. Things have changed a lot in many ways. THEN yea the internet, but it's not like the outdoors (reachable by foot) for most teenagers is competing in the slightest anyway. If it was better, and allowed for more social spaces for the community, that would at least help. Ideally there would be quality public transportation everywhere like in Europe, etc. and urban planning would prioritise people and walkability and small businesses, etc. It's a disease in society, among other things that alienate people from one another. Both parents needing jobs, only the kids and maybe 2 parents per suburban house separate from other people. What ever system that makes people have to work the most, have the least personal time, and need the most money to pay things off due to not pooling resources, is where society gravitates towards.

I'm not claustrophobic, but something about those kinds of tight squeezes tells my entire body to nope out of there. This one though... I just felt like that cave was not very stable, and like it could just crush you at any moment. Part of it could because they're not that deep. The rock is brittle and one good tremor could just collapse it all. Otherwise, it's all just a fascinating experience to watch you sloth your way through fully aware of the dangers and but having pushed through enough situtations to know that it's essentially always navigable so long as you keep your wits about you. You guys really need to be given a spot on mainstream media. The wealth of knowledge and advice and level of calm you bring is invaluable and needs to be shared

I like that... sloth my way through. We've received offers from Disney and Netflix and the other streaming companies. We say no. We like our lives as they are. *And for the record our videos are about calmness. The caving is incidental. I promise!

Ive been watching this channel for a few years and i have to say that what he does is very insane and i dont think people really realize how bad this could turn out if he makes 1 wrong move. There are some videos ive seen where its just him and im hoping there is someone else with him. 1 wrong move and he would be trapped for life if he has no one to back him up even tho he is very experienced

@@CalvinHikes i apologize cause i didn't mean to make it sound like you dont know what your doing. I dont think you thought i ment it that way either. But i didnt say it and ment to. You are a beast and i do know you are very experienced as well so you know what your doing. I couldn't even do what you do. But i fear that people not you. Do the crazy stuff just for views and get way over there head or ego. Thats when they fail. I feal some people do push them selves which is good but if people doubt something they should stick to that and not attempt. Sorry to blab on lol but awesome videos you are incredible please stay safe and cant wait for the next video.

Maybe do a tier list of the caves you explored and put it in a list and give a reason why it belongs there whether you just had a good time with Jacob or it was a cave with a lot to see.

A ranked list is not a bad idea. It's simple enough. A list of the caves in one lava field here would have at least 600! Featuring the two longest suffosional caves in the world... buried beneath the lava.
