This video follows a group of cavers underground. For two of them it is their first ever caving trip. The video is aimed at potential cavers and shows what to expect on a novice caving trip.

My first (and only) guided caving trip had "squeeze" passages FAR smaller than this. Ex: lay on your back, go inverted down a tube - one arm MUST be up, one arm MUST be down at your side. We had to scoot our bodies using the tips of our heels for about 15 meters. If you panic and breathe too deeply, you are stuck, until you calm down. I would go caving again if it was like this video. I had no idea I would be going through the "tube" type of cave system I did my first trip. Next time I go, if I see a 10-12 inch diameter tube - I'm camping there. I would love the other stuff. Water, climbing, ledges, etc. But, I'll pass on the "birth canal" as they called it in TN, USA.

Raccoon Mountain. I figured by the name and looks of the place it would be more like Ruby Falls.. LOL! No really, I wanted to get muddy, and hit my head, and get into some little spots, maybe even swim in some dark nasty water. But, not squeeze through what I refer to as a tube. If I can see a larger area just slightly ahead, I'll go through a tight squeeze. But, this was insane. It was like sticking a meatball in a garden hose made of stone. Luckily I was with a bunch of 120 pound college kids and my sons that were maybe 90lbs. So I had to suck in my 215lbs and man up. heheheh. Roller coasters don't even phase me. But, I felt near death in this. Maybe I'm claustrophobic now. Who knows.

@alexmccarthy757 жыл бұрын
Well, I'm 6'0" and 215lbs, so I'm kinda big, and I had the pleasure of being with a bunch of skinny college kids, and my two youngest sons, who are like 90lbs and tall. So I'm guessing the guide just looked at me, as the only "challenge". When entering the cave system, I watched two muddy older folks (like me) come out, and the male, was FAR bigger than me. So I thought I was good. Well, AFTER the 3-4 hour crawl/squeeze tour, I saw that the cave system is HUGE on the map, our tour guide just wanted to show off, and give me a challenge (from hell). I was the only jackass with a fanny pack too. In the "tubes" I would tie it to my foot, and drag it. I thought it best to bring ziplock bags in case of water to protect our cell phones (thin HD camera), protein bars, and extra headlamp batteries. I had no idea what we were in for. Figured if I had to ditch the pack, no big loss. We did end up getting somewhat lost, and trekking through an under ground river that was about 18 inches deep. Everything was awesome, minus the 3 parts that were the diameter of a damn medium pizza for 10-15 meters. Now I know some of my limits. We also had to ascend a knotted rope, only about 3 meters, but... Yeah.. Haven't done a pull-up since highschool, and no ascension gear. But since that trip, I've gotten better by rope climbing in trees in the back yard. Still old and fat though.. LOL

Excellent video, I think I subscribed around six or seven months ago, but this is the first time I've commented. Around the time I subscribed I was desperate to experience caving, and have been ever since. I attempted to contact the North Wales Caving Club via email a few months ago, but never got a reply. I'm not sure whether they're inactive, but from the look of their website it hasn't been updated in a while. Seeing this video really makes me want to have another go at getting into this. Are you aware of any groups in the North Wales area that are active and would be willing to take a novice out? Obviously I don't have any of the correct kit, so I'm concerned that this could be a problem. I live in the Blaenau Ffestiniog area, so obviously I'm near a lot of old mines which I believe are fairly popular.

The air quality in caves is generally very good. Caves are full of holes and air can flow quite freely. It is very rare to encounter bad air in natural caves. The only times I have experienced a CO2 build-up is in digs when we've been removing blockages to try and find new cave passage. In these occasions we have used pumps to circulate the air.

The "squeezes" and "tubes' would be my issue, I'd like to think I'd be ok otherwise. I went on a 3 night camping trip with 2 other classes in 6th grade and they had us going through a split rock that required shuffling sideways through a maybe 15" crevasse for about 15 feet, dropping down onto our sides, then a crawl through a small hole of maybe 2 feet(?) so we could be pulled up and out by one of our chaperones. I forced everyone behind me to back up and out of the crevasse at least twice before I finally found the resolve to make it through and even now 30+ years later I get very anxious just thinking about the odyssey...

This is overdramatized, I assure everyone here that it’s not really a big deal. Not much different than having sheets too tight on your bed. It’s the exertion that should worry people. Just be in shape and willing to work for an extended period and it’s all good. I’m 205 pounds and never had an issue with 978 confined space caves done to date. It’s literally a patience and frustration thing, if you can’t control either it’s a panic thing. Remember, at least one person made it through before you because it’s mapped out. Pay attention to the map, don’t be all eager to determine a new route in a mapped cave because, trust me, it’s been mapped within tight resonantly. You want to be a cave explorer instead of a caver, that’s on you. And if you do, be smart and be good at mapping it out for the future cavers. FYI, wet hard caves are easier, more rewarding, and less stressful than dry desert caves. Just be seasonal about it and monitor conditions and the forecast beforehand. The amount of deaths or accidents vs successful cavings are just like every other “extreme” activity.....low. Common sense, capability, and ability to resist panic is fine. Peer pressure should never be an issue, like he casually notes here with, “do you want me to lie to you?” Go with friends who have the same values and don’t pressure you to go further than what you are comfortable with, just like mountaineering or vert climbing.

keith, last time i went to a cave, i didnt need to risk my life for it or get all rusted and muddy. Its granny proof. If you want to know more about it google on images "grutas de garcia" not even need for flashlights. pretty safe and amazing if you ask me.

Yikes, much of this made me "squirmy." I could never do this but I'm grateful for those who do and share it with the rest of us. Thank you for posting.

Caving in a pretty wide ass big cave would be pretty cool, those tight ones are horrifying though. Happy my hobby is rock climbing and not caving.
