The Greatest Discovery

[@CalvinHikes]

Jacob was running around in the cave for a little bit while I was opening up the entrance before the exploration and mapping group arrived. So I gave him my camera and she to off to make his mark on history.

[@DanielDooijes]

Loved the tour Jacob gave us through the tubes!

[@BobthePilot]

That's was the best I've watched Jacob speak on camera. I enjoyed his solo exploration providing references to height, grade, difficulty and features. Camera manipulation, like Evan's took me along. Vicariously.

[@billsanders9387]

Thanks. He has become a pretty fair voice for the sport. He also has a sense for finding caves.

[@claudioduarte6451]

Hello from Portugal. Jacob is gonna be one of the best in the world, thanks for the claustrophobia therapy videos

[@billsanders9387]

Jacob has it in his genes. The family has been into challenging pursuits as far back as we can trace. Grandpa did his first cave at 9 yrs old in 1947 and is still caving. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@TravisBon615]

I was honestly worried . I realized I haven’t seen a video on the Caveman Hikes Channel in half a year and then I remembered the second channel and seen yall posted this recently . Glad to know all of yall are doing well and having fun still

[@billsanders9387]

Extreme snowfall on this volcano has blocked access until late Spring.

[@yosoyyuenyuen]

Me too !! So happy they are actually active on another channel ! Wish they group all the videos in one channel to increase click rate !

[@navydogsadventures3500]

Jacob did a great job. He is ready to take over. Love seeing grandpa/dad still going strong.

[@billsanders9387]

Grandpa here, still up to caving, but a bit slower at times.

[@navydogsadventures3500]

@@billsanders9387 I understand the slower.

6’1”?!?! Your crazy bravery hasn’t diminished with your height gains

[@rudyschurmann6211]

This was really a beautiful recording. thank you everyone. Greetings from my little country Belgium 😉

[@EvenDarker]

Belgium is a beautiful place

[@ten-tonnetongue]

8:47 That is crazy. I'm just imagining the lava being sucked down into some cavity way down and is why the tube is heading down so steeply. Could be a cavern down there! This is really exciting.

[@billsanders9387]

Extreme snowfall on this huge volcano is slowing us down a bit. There is much yet to discover in this massive cave system.

[@fastenuf]

This is fantastic and I'm looking forward to more!

[@billsanders9387]

This cave has more to give. We just gotta beat the snow.

[@xBINARYGODx]

Jacob should take command, so to speak, more often. Although still the heart of the channel is uncle-nephew dynamic.

[@EvenDarker]

no

[@donnyboy311]

Congrats on your find guys!

[@billsanders9387]

This one will keep giving!

[@Dobakk]

this channel should be on everyone’s home page ❤

[@billsanders9387]

Kind words indeed, and appreciated.

[@reinoob]

Very cool adventure.

[@hypergamy5901]

Jacob's voice is getting deeper than the caves

[@billsanders9387]

Yes. He has a greater depth of cave knowledge too.

[@Trashslinger007]

Been laid up with shoulder surgery and have been binge watching your videos. Great stuff, great videos, and beautiful caves

[@billsanders9387]

These caves cure shoulder problems. Numbness is a cure, right? 😂

[@yosoyyuenyuen]

Love you guyz ! Why not include these videos in the old channel ? Can increase more click rate ! ( I mean why a new one ? It may distract the views ? )

[@EvenDarker]

We don't want an increased click rate.

[@scootermitchel7045]

How’s the oxygen levels and air quality down there ?

[@EvenDarker]

Same as outside I guess. I never check I just breathe. It's cold in these caves though. Right above freezing

[@lootwijk]

Wonderful work, fellas!

[@billsanders9387]

Thanks. Fun new cave

[@chickendinner2562]

Excited to see where Jacob was going to go in the continuance of 'Jacobs Ladder's' pathway. Release the video!

[@pierre-alexandreclement7831]

❤❤❤❤

[@fortyozsteak]

What happened to the other channel?

[@EvenDarker]

Its still there.

[@paulflur4519]

It’s good to see Jake back it again. Do you guys have a request list for equipment?

[@EvenDarker]

No we don't. We just like to use cheap sloppy gear for the most part. You're welcome to ask specific questions about gear if you want I don't have any broad recommendations

[@paulflur4519]

@@EvenDarker any flashlights, batteries or protective gear you need? I get paid Thursday from Textron building hovercrafts for the navy and would love to donate something.

[@billsanders9387]

@@paulflur4519 Grandpa here. We use Fenix LR40R handheld lights. They are 12,000 plus lumens, and when you mention Caveman Hikes, the give you a 25% discount.

[@ten-tonnetongue]

17:07 F yeah - stoked for the full release!! Man, that cave looks amazing. Fascinating to think you're standing where once was roiling with molten stone.

[@EvenDarker]

There's some really neat stuff in this cave. It's the biggest cave Discovery in a very long time around here. And it just happens to have really great formations.

[@proberush]

Jacob is the MAN

[@EvenDarker]

Correct

[@garyclemons1129]

Nice job keep up the good work buddy be safe

[@EvenDarker]

I'll tell buddy

[@ten-tonnetongue]

5:52 ...wow. 😮

[@ten-tonnetongue]

15:55 I like this stop-and-explain segment.

[@Tina37212]

Me too. Educational.

[@ten-tonnetongue]

2:00 Big money! That's what you've been looking for, no? Tiny little entrance, massive network beyond.

[@billsanders9387]

We just cave for the joy of discovery. We even send sponsors away. They would interrupt the show.

[@ten-tonnetongue]

0:40 Looks cozy.
