Merry christmas, happy New Year. I've considered further editing this and putting it on the main channel. It was certainly scary for us but I'm not sure that its scary or entertaining for the viewer. And we had limited camera viewpoints. Let us know! Thanks to Bad-Dad for helping me with this difficult bottomless pit drop. Managing things topside bares responsibility and requires a lot of patience.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I look forward to anything you guys put out

[@fastenuf]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family!

Thank you merry Christmas and happy new year

That last laugh sounded like Chucky😂

[@6AlphaMikeCharlie9]

Hey guys, did you have anyone to show you the ropes like you do with Jacob? When Jacob gets to your age he's gonna be a real Master cave explorer ✌🏻

[@maxiom7476]

I think that even with the limited camera angles, your voice over commentary explaining the situation you're in combined with the graphic/animations you make successfully convey a scary feeling. I'm always excited to see any video you post though haha

[@EvenDarker]

Thanks so much for the specific input. That's what I would do is narrate some and use some graphics to show what was going on. It takes a lot of work and it's way less fun than actually caving!

[@xXCigarXx]

​@@EvenDarkerWe all appriciate the effort you put in to share your adventures.

[@kuraiuchu]

That was a really exciting adventures, despite the fears that must have kicked in going down. Congrats on the Jeep and that's so exciting for the graduation! So many things to come for Jacob.

[@billsanders9387]

Kind words are always nice. You have a blessed year!

[@BrendaCreates]

Would you say man made structures, mines etc. are more dangerous than natural caves?

[@EvenDarker]

Yes by far. Mine's are extremely dangerous and caves generally aren't. I don't know what the stats are but it's got to be a 100 times more dangerous at least. Dilapidated man made structures are subject to imminent collapse. Caves almost never collapse. Mine's can dig into places with bad air. Caves almost all have good clean air. The list goes on and on.

[@NEON_187]

Thank you merry Christmas and happy new year

[@billsanders9387]

And to you too. It will be a great year for caving.

[@spoony01428]

I think its pretty darn cool and unique content, just as interesting as your other stuff. at the very least you could make a nice short out of the descent!

[@EvenDarker]

Yes thank you. That is why we pay you the big bucks. Good idea. I don't know why it didn't occur to me that I couldn't just make a "short."

[@4s-ter]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I can make myself motion sick just by thinking about a shaky camera, and yet I can enjoy your videos. I am so impressed by how smooth you are able to keep it, given all you are dealing with at the time.

[@EvenDarker]

Thank you. I'd say the reason we're able to accomplish it is because any video that is too shakey, we simply dont use.

Happy holidays caveman family

[@billsanders9387]

And to you too.

[@navydogsadventures3500]

Very sketchy place you were. I'm glad you made it out safe.

[@billsanders9387]

That it is, bro. Some company tried to re-open it about 20 years ago, and left a ton of pipe and such. Cave-ins stopped their gig. It’s a strange mix of fun and risk.

@billsanders9387 Really need to know what you're doing on the rope. You have to pay close attention to everything while climbing in that shaft.

[@billsanders9387]

@@navydogsadventures3500 I asked Calvin. “Why am I stuck feeding rope and monitoring the triangle harness.” He never answers me. 🤪🤪. It’s very cold and damp in this.

I love all your vids I got mad respect hit me up some time I live here in Clarksville Tn …I no of a cave that u might like not to many people go to it a place my dad and his friends went as kids I been a few times it accessible right off the road it a lime stone cave

[@EvenDarker]

Tennessee is literally considered the mecca of caving for the world.

[@mangamaniaciam]

Ya know Cal; I can BARELY recall what I learned years ago about mountaineering and rappelling! What ever you do though: DON'T lose that equipment you've got! That stuff ain't cheap!!😶

[@EvenDarker]

Its cheap relative to getting injured.

[@mangamaniaciam]

@@EvenDarker Oh believe me: I know what kind of pain you get having titanium alloy screws installed in your leg !!😅

[@fastenuf]

Very creepy cave/mine. That's a nope from me! Jacob, congrats on graduation and the Jeep!

[@EvenDarker]

This was mined out beginning in the 1920s! We don't have any idea how deep or long it is.

[@donnawheeldon9880]

For you to say its one of the scareyest things you have done got to have been terrified has it seems to amaze me out those tight squeezes are not enough 😮

[@EvenDarker]

Tight squeezes are forgiving. Falling down a 100 foot mine shaft is not. My concern in here was debris falling down on top of me since it was unstable and water was pouring out of the sides. It was slippery and rocks were falling all around. And I couldn't see where I was going because the shaft curved at the bottom.

[@michaelkaiser85]

Do you guys use any gas monitoring equipment when exploring those mines out of curiosity, haven't done much in the way of mines.

[@bartas_aventure]

Cool drop, do you know how deep it actually is? It looks like a mining shaft to me, but is it a natural cave?

[@EvenDarker]

It's a mining shaft. It's a gold mine from the 1920s. That pitch was about 100 ft exactly. 30 meters. There are several pitches and we have not fully explored the mine. It's super fun and we should have a lot of cool video.

[@bartas_aventure]

@@EvenDarker damn that’s a long way. Good job getting through the gate with that pit below, must have been scary

[@Obnoxers]

Are you able to say th name of the cave or the location, or do you intentionally omit that information so amateurs don't get themselves killed?

[@EvenDarker]

We omit intentionally for the sake of the caves not necessarily the sake of the people. People are welcome to go die if they want but they are not welcome to frequent private caves. This is not necessarily our decision, this is standard protocol within the caving community.

Perfect. We don't want subscribers. Also I have no idea how this is clickbaiting. This is literally the most dangerous thing i've ever done underground. Would appreciate if you would consider blocking us and never watching again. Thank you!
