Into The Labyrinth, Pettyjohns Cave

[@pepsigoodman99]

Your videos finally convinced me even go into a cave. Went to Dunbar in TN. There is a lot of history there but it was awesome. Im a big dude but ive been losing weight, might try to go find a guide and go to a cave that is way more harsh lol. You guys make amazing videos. Thanks.

[@SandraWho_71]

Omg! I was scrolling videos bored, came across this video and was completely hooked for thee entire video! Wow! You guys are amazing! Thanks for exploring & sharing, LOVE it! I was SO nervous the entire time! 🤭🤣😂

I am very proud of you guys. When I was your guys age I spent most of my time in the bars working. That was the 80,s. So thank you all for doing this.

[@jimbojet8728]

Don’t part company. Don’t allow yourself to be urged on, into tight squeezes alone. Being ‘pinned’ in that situation would be horrible. You’d be forcing your friends to come in after you, when they initially didn’t want to? You’re making really interesting vids, I am enjoying them, when I’m not cringing and peering through my fingers, that is. Thank you fellas.

Beautiful!! Ty so much!! I went on a tour in San Antonio to Inner space caverns years ago it was so so beautiful but strange cause the deeper we got in the cave I lost my balance and got dizzy Lol so weird but anyway, it's so beautiful how the water scoops out that stone and gives it such incredible texture 😍 wow!

The thing I don’t get the most is trusting mystery ropes. Like…. I don’t question anything else y’all do. I am a climber and I’ll tell ya I am not putting my body weight on a rope I just found in a dark wet cave.

[@sunnyscott4876]

That was my very first thought! 🤯

[@CaveChronicles]

we didn't need to use the sketchy Walmart rope, we could had freeclimbed it and were wedging ourselves up anyway. It just helped us get up easier, didn't put any faith in it.

[@lawrencetalbot55]

What a mud pit that was!! You're going to have to wash those clothes 25 times!! Squishy and smooshie, lol. I'm surprised there aren't little mud sculptures everywhere, I know I'd be tempted to model a little mud figurine... lol Thanks for sharing this little adventure, I'm claustrophobic and watching you guys is quite sufficient to quench my spelunking desires. Oh man!! Some of the tight places you go through would make me apoplectic, I'd just croak!! Thanks again and good luck and fine fortune to you!! You crazy cavers!!

Be cautious when you feel the cave urging you to separate from your friends!!!!

[@christinemerritt974]

@1found1 that’s not true! Caves are filled with mystery and intrigue. (Also I was kind of joking) in this video, one of the lads was being lured away from his friends….the cave was calling to him…it was enchanting him to become lost.

[@locabynature]

everytime I watch anyone go caving, I get an overwhelming sense that it must be hard to breathe down there. they're absolutely fine, so maybe it's just me. once they make it back outside, I get that "I just got back to fresh air" feeling. 🤣

[@robokid20001]

@@locabynature Cave air is usually pretty fresh cause there's normally a pretty decent draft through most caves.

[@CaveChronicles]

@@locabynature As someone allergic to pollen the air down there is actually easier to breath for me. ​ There's also a strong draft going through most of the cave. At 13:30 you can see where screech owl cave comes down from the surface as well, lots of flies coming in from there, and gets a lot warmer near it.

[@locabynature]

@@CaveChronicles I always thought it would be stuffy down there but it's good to know. I'm not so much claustrophobic as just not being able to breathe. I don't think I know the word for when you portray your own fears to someone else's situation.

I love your scary ass videos. I did a very small amount of amateur caving in my youth. Even on the guided tours I went on, it was very frightening at times. You guys are brave as hell! But, I wish you had a geologist with you on your cave adventures. The amount of beautiful stones are worth mentioning along with the crystals. I would love to know what types of rocks they are. And please tell me you take samples with you. Thank you for entertaining and scaring me at the same time. Peggyk.

[@Oliversfields7650]

Iv recently found your channel and love every video! My question is why don’t you carry a small foldable shovel or something similar in your pack? That’s got to be exhausting digging and dragging your way through different muddy sections.

[@robokid20001]

Digging and displacing material in caves is a *huge* nono for normal people (not necessarily expedition teams). Especially for relatively accessible caves like PettyJohn. The NSS would have your ass.

[@ActionAdventureTwins]

Petty johns cave is a sacrificial cave, that has had way worse done to it than scooping a little mud out of the way to get into new areas. And the area we were in floods everytime it rains so new mud will simply wash back into place eventually

[@robokid20001]

@@ActionAdventureTwins That is a fair point, Petty Johns has been pretty molested. They just drill it into our heads for most caves that if you're digging your route out, you're in the wrong.

Thanks for taking us on your adventure.

[@freestonew]

No wonder my FSU caving club would take special trips to NorthGeorgia/Alabama. I did not have back then the rope skills! Everyone of those waterfalls that stream into a room or passage comes from somewhere. Might be a long cave up above and the entrance too. I am curious as to why no one seems to find where all the waters go to! I suspect that many many springs that are at the bottom of a limestone layer of rock are the exit point for a cave. Probably the tunnel gets real small or that this tunnel goes underwater. Thus few caves have an exit that can be exited from. I once walked around a small cave then noticed as I came to a "T" intersection, a stream of water was in it. Come to find out that there was an exit maybe 1000 feet away, an exit that might have been all of 12" by 8". Also, the entrance maybe 2000 feet away was also the same size. If it were not for that middle large entrance this cave would be forever hidden from exploration.

unfortunately no it doesn't quite work like that! we don't even know who to tell when we do get in these new areas. right now we are just exploring and will figure out how to get back to these places easily, then eventually we can take someone else who knows mapping back there to see what it will all look like added to the rest of the cave

It's awesome to be able to get new people invested in it. And yeah, there's still a lot of PettyJohns past mile 7. I think there's a video on YT of a guy going out that far and there's still tons more passages. I really want to set up a trip to get out that far, but you need decent vertical gear past the 2nd waterfall.

@@robokid20001 we have been past the second waterfall and no vertical gear was needed! we made it all the way into high anxiety though the fissure lead it actually just connects into the breakdown pile shown in the stream passage! we havent made it too far into schreibers extension but if the character of the cave stays the same pretty much throughout; then it is mostly just very low crawls and ducking in stream passage, nowhere near as bad as getting out to the outer limits past pulverizer. let us know anytime you want to come out to these places with us we are starting to know how to get there like the back of our hand. we started by knowing nothing about the cave just a couple years ago but have almost explored all the known mapped portions by now just not the very ends and we are definitely ready to finish exploring them and keep pushing further
