It was really dark and I saw that the ceiling and walls had this weird "grass" all over them. It was not grass, it was milions of these arachnids and when I touched the ceiling they all fell on me and some got into my mouth and everything. I ran back to the house as fast as I could and I brought hundreds of them inside the house in my hair and clothes and everyone got so mad at me.

Very nice comment. I’m Caveman’s dad and Jacob is his nephew. We all cave, (see Even Darker) and the preparation is extensive. I did my first cave in 1957. Calvin and Jacob take it to a different level, however.

[@god8348]

[@CATASTEROID934]

Harvestmen are a gregarious bunch and form these dense, dark bunches that look almost furry from all their long legs. They can pack themselves into a surprisingly small volume which makes it even more dramatic when they are disturbed and they begin to scatter and flee, it's just a shame how fragile they are- they drop legs so easily when pinched or dragged and I feel terrible when I clumsily damage them like this. That cave has likely been a popular overwintering spot for myriad animals including all the Opiliones for the entire time it has been open to the surface (and it may have been blocked off for some periods by movement of soil or debris), the temperature is likely quite stable if somewhat cool in the lower portions year-round.

Well probably the biggest reason is because if they weren't human size we wouldn't go in.

At 10:53 it literally looks as though you're crawling out of the mouth of a demonic face, what you've done there is unintentionally opened the entrance to hell the spiders are just the welcoming party. But with 99% of my free time away from work being on the internet for the last 14 years there's almost nothing that gives me genuine anxiety in video form but God damn these videos put me on edge.

[@billsanders9387]

Thanks much! Great compliment. High praise indeed. B

Looks very awesome. Any caves near ottawa?

[@billsanders9387]

I’m sure there are. Caves are hiding nearly everywhere. Find a Grotto group and start looking.

[@Teborasaur]

Wow this is insanely impressive.. You found a new cave never discovered from looking at the ground and knowing where to dig. Then went in, unknown, into a tiny passage 😱 It was terrifying watching you go down.. Thinking OMG how are you going to get back up! What if there's a sudden drop and you're going backwards.. Very cool. Very scary!

[@billsanders9387]

These extremely remote areas are still so undiscovered. A lucky hunch on this lava ridge paid off in spiders. Glad you enjoyed the terror.

[@SloBurn6969]

Dude. You got a sub and like out of me, as a man that has worked in mud holes and crawled under houses, you are definitely reliable and relentless. Those are some of the best traits to have as a genuine person.

[@parabolicpanorama]

hey guys i have a question. is a full crawl cave more rewarding as an experience or is it better if it opens up to a gallery? thank you so much for filming the depths of the earth for us folk too scared to venture in ourselves!

[@billsanders9387]

We always like discovering the uniqueness of each cave. Large open areas are enjoyable, but so are copious stalagmites and stalactites. Springs underground are fun as are their resulting streams and waterfalls.

I love you guys, I really do. I've been into caves with my son here in Idaho and we have so much fun. I'm originally from Oregon and haven't explored many caves in Oregon yet though. I've been to the lava tubes outside of Bend and done some stuff at Spencer's butte. I love the feeling, I love the videos you guys make. I love the messages you give. It just makes me smile. I could say more but I'll leave it at that. Thanks for sharing what you do, thanks for being amazing!

[@CalvinHikes]

Cool. We do quite a bit of caving in Idaho.

[@DangerZone_KT]

Man you guys are a unique breed of humans. It’s so wild you do this stuff for fun. I consider my self a pretty brave dude but just watching these caving videos gives me anxiety! Then throw in the spiders… no way!!

[@HandsThatCan]

3 questions: Are there any stories where you were stuck in a spot in a cave to the point where you needed help from someone? And have you ever gotten lost when exploring new caves in your earlier or recent adventures? Your videos are so interesting and very well narrated. - Peace Be The Journey

[@billsanders9387]

[@rodd555]

one of those things that requires so much self knowledge that I fell like it is ignorant of peole to critisize

[@CalvinHikes]

You are very correct and I appreciate your comment. However I think that's true of almost everything people see on video. There's just such limited information there's no way a person watching could have any idea what's going on. So it's interesting to learn not what a person criticizes but why they criticize it. What do they think they are watching or what do they think is going on. It's definitely an interesting social study from this side. *very very few reasonable human comments like yours.

[@rodd555]

​@@CalvinHikes I usually like watching those urban climbers. kind of similar but completely opposite at same time. as a kid I would have been up for this up to a point . did crawl through a muddy water tunnel once for no reason

[@catpoke9557]

There are some things laymen can criticize. I saw a video just earlier of a guy going into a cave with fast flowing water in it, and all the water was basically ice cold since it was freshly melted snow. He went in this cave (that he could tell might be flooding) without a wet suit, so he wound up extremely cold and, risk of drowning aside, could've also gotten hypothermia and maybe even frostbite. He came out fine thankfully. But it's pretty clear why going into that cave in that condition was a bad idea, even if you aren't a caver.

[@Nameless_Strinova]

yeah i do alot of rooftopping but i would never in my life do this maybe due to my whole fear of not being able to move that why i prefer being on roofs@@rodd555

[@CalvinHikes]

​@@catpoke9557nope! Still just a video. It might have been our video. We have a video of going into a freezing cave that's full of water and swimming through it. But it's still almost a charade. We do it all the time. It's presented as dangerous but in reality nobody is putting themselves in that much danger for a video. I can at least speak on behalf of caving videos.

[@susanfrancisquez6190]

You are really brave sir lmao! I like how you were all happy and said, "Cave dig"! Then smashed your way in haha. Cool

[@williamburnett5337]

I am extremely claustrophobic, like I can't do a MRI without having anesthesia. You have me wanting to push myself and do something like this. I'm 49 and had a widow maker heart attack almost a month ago, once I recover enough to get myself in the best shape I have been in since my 20s I plan on going caving. Thank you and Jake for the inspiration!

[@CalvinHikes]

Thank you and you are welcome. It's not even really about caving but pushing to improve oneself physically and mentally and get out in the fresh air. It is a better life. There are answers to questions that we just aren't going to find by sitting at home slowly dying.

[@redbeardsbirds3747]

Love this channel and subscribed! I’ve got a deep fascination with caves and the overall geology of our Earth’s crust. I find your philosophy on fear and conquering it very interesting and it caused me to be interested in human psychology. Do you think that exploring those tight caves could actually help someone with claustrophobia… I guess you might call it “exposure therapy”…..expose yourself to what you fear until you train your brain to realize that it’s no longer as scary as you thought it was? Yes you might have a wave of panic but you learn to ride the wave and let it come and go until your fight or flight symptoms lessen? Sorry if that’s a strange question…..what y’all are doing is very inspiring especially the fact that you have fun doing something that would otherwise be horrifying to many ! 😅

[@CalvinHikes]

Exposure therapy works for a lot of people. Even just watching videos helps some

[@ByGraceIGo]

Man that's just crazy especially since no one else has been in there! I would not want to go in a passage that tight. I would not want to get stuck and you don't know how stable the place is. I pray you will be safe! And also you really should have an O2 meter.

How do we stop our addiction? Thanks for watching.

[@thomasveilleux9681]

When you're crawling through a cave you seem to have to look up quite alot, it seems like your neck would get fatigued sooner than anything else. You must develop some incredibly strong neck muscles exploring these kinds of caves.

[@CalvinHikes]

It is fatiguing in the neck. It's not important to be strong so much as it is important to stretch out and be limber.
