Gorgeous the way the light and the ice work together to create the “rainbow” effect! Awesome video guys!

[@whocares9672]

I thought you were the hiker that they just rescued 😅. You guys look very much alike !!

[@EvenDarker]

Did they rescue that dude? I haven't heard anything about except comments.

[@VERY_TALL_MAN]

@@EvenDarker I believe abc news recently posted an article about it! Unfortunately youtube wont let me share the link. Amazing story though!

[@khalings804]

He is the dude

[@cavemanjacob]

This man is handsome, Mark just doesn't share that same beauty.

[@MrKilobaked]

Glad to see ya out there doing it. Keep the good content coming, love to watch.

[@kuraiuchu]

that gorgeous view around 8m08s is wild. super glad you're uploading this content, couldn't appreciate it any more than i am!

[@EvenDarker]

Thank you. We were up here for Wildflower season but we were a week or two early. In full bloom it's just about unbelievable.

[@stephenpfeifer1019]

Hello. I hardly ever comment on KZbin, but I just wanted to say I love your content on both this and your main channel. It has inspired me to get into caving. I plan to join a grotto soon. Thanks for being such great ambassadors for the community. Say hi to Jacob for me!

[@EvenDarker]

That's great. We don't really have any goals but if we can be ambassadors for people to go outside and do something healthy I do think there's a lot the world has to offer besides just watching videos of other people's lives. Joining a grotto officially will open a lot of opportunities to you to see a lot of cool things. It's an eye-opener.

[@riverrat8693]

I ran into Jacob at the steel bridge the other day, cool kid.

[@husky6179]

Damn i remeber watching your content long time ago i watched half of your videos and im still watching it to this day

[@EvenDarker]

Nice. We'll be here forever. Slow but sure. But slow. ; )

[@rhondavail8679]

This counts as a cave!!! Totally my favorite so far.

[@sreckovicdejan]

What amazing nature. Beautiful animals.

[@MrRed-cf6gk]

Look how pretty that blue and green is on the walls at the beginning.

[@EvenDarker]

I got some great photographs of that. That was really the goal of that day is to get some of those snow pics from the interior. It's so strange how the blue and green and yellow is so prominent in some spots

[@theadventuretravelchannel]

Nice. I'm assuming this is near St. Helens. Lots of interesting things to see there.

[@EvenDarker]

If you live in Portugal this is near St helens. If you live in Washington state this is not near St Helens. So the distance is relative.

[@terranhealer]

Love your collection of flashlights and headlamps. Not cheap but looks great quality. Also, where is this video taken?

[@EvenDarker]

Most of this was taken at Rainier National park. Some of it was taken down close to the border of Oregon and California. Companies now send us a great arrangement of lights (for free) so we have like a lifetime supply of unnecessary lamps and lights.

[@terranhealer]

@@EvenDarker cool 😎 any chance you'd be able to sell those to a Patreon member?

[@cavemanjacob]

Finix lights may give you a discount if you say your with Cavemanhikes.

[@ten-tonnetongue]

That is some outskirts wilderness, you are OUT THERE, man. Where is this? What an interesting place to crawl around! I wouldn't expect caves to be near slides like that, unless I'm missing something. Is there a strong reason you're looking specifically in that area or is it just purely out of curiosity? I guess I only consider a cave something that goes into the Earth, not a coincidental cavity between fallen boulders. Still cool!

[@EvenDarker]

There are different caves with different names. Caves that are a result of bolders are called Talus caves. They're obviously generally not as big or extravagant as tunneling caves or lava tubes but sometimes they get bigger than you think. Some of those bolders there were 50 ft so... I suspect under that area which has about a mile of bolders below a cliff, there will be some good size cavities. If they are especially insignificant, nobody's going to care. We can find some big ones sometimes. But only if we look!

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

Are you ever scared of running into Bigfoot in a cave

[@EvenDarker]

What's a bigfoot?

[@dlsgrowyt2208]

​@@EvenDarkersimple answer : big monkey, complicated answer : big monkey creature that people say is real but has no true evidence except a few videos of "footage" but those are most likely fake. so basically an internet legend that some think is true and some dont. they say it lives in forests and caves and so on..

[@locolobomokato6057]

hey it juste me or at 0:45 you can see a broken sword whit a bronze handel or im crazy fker

[@EvenDarker]

Bro that is wild. I'm going to have to go back and see if I have any other photographs. I don't think I do. But I'll check. It's probably just a rock. But you are not wrong. *Yeah it's just a couple rocks. The orange rock looks like the handle and the other rock looks like a blade. But from that angle that looks like a sword. Crazy. Well now I want to find a sword!

[@navydogsadventures3500]

You must be way up on elevation there. Sure is some beautiful scenery where you were at.

[@EvenDarker]

Yeah was around 6500 ft I think. But we were also fortunate most of the snow and ice was up around 8k. This area was just in shadows and had a little snow left. The scenery in this area is nothing short of spectacular. The area of this specific video. It's unbelievable. We were up there for the wildflowers but they hadn't bloomed yet. They usually bloom in late August or early September. Then it snows again. It's a very short season

[@navydogsadventures3500]

@@EvenDarker was that eastern Washington or Oregon? Great place to hike for sure.

[@BrendaCreates]

Crawling in ice water is not my idea of fun.

[@EvenDarker]

It's so fun! It was hot out. So it was very refreshing.

[@BrendaCreates]

I love your content btw.

[@proudchristian77]

Beware of melting 🧊 ice ,💝

[@EvenDarker]

Yeah that melting snow creates caves annually which is pretty cool. The mountains larger glaciers actually grow every year. There are large ice caves near the summit but they are a booger to get to.
