[@CantrellCaving]

We should had hit up the slots in uncle Jed’s. No wonder the odds didn’t work out in our favor!

[@Mineral_dude]

100% next time I’m bringing my life’s savings with me to dump into those slots 🤑

[@Objectivityiskey]

🤩 Great content!!!

[@Mineral_dude]

Thank you!

[@kensmith8832]

If you like deep holes, there are tons of caves like that around Nickelsville, VA. I heard stories of those holes, 35 years ago.

[@Mineral_dude]

….hit me up on Instagram? I’d love to find out more about these

Jay man this vid had my anxiety rising. When your bag slipped bruh I held my breath. Yall have fun and stay safe pls. 💓 Ps love the intro but Alex knows he too young to drink that kinda tea. Lol 😁

[@Mineral_dude]

Dude! I saw that thing going over and my brain was like “you’re dead” but then I came back to reality and realized all my gear could hold up a semi truck in the air still in the process of learning to trust my gear… and bro straight up calling Alex out 😂😂😂

[@MFL1985]

​@@Mineral_dude you already know 🍭👩 had too. 😊😂

Like this style of video

[@Mineral_dude]

Thanks for the feedback! I really want to show more of our personalities in the video cause we’re a wild bunch 😂

[@ZPDSurvival]

Intense.

Forsure, I couldn’t imagine life any other way

[@rjypsiesmith3244]

As we used to say back in the day... deadly! (excellent! lol)

[@goosebumps768]

Going up and down rope some of those climbing makes butt cheeks pucker. 😳😳😳

[@Mineral_dude]

Same lmao

[@donaldtank]

You have replied into a cave more than my last cave back in 1999

[@Mineral_dude]

I’m not sure I understand?

[@Craving-Adventure]

@Mineral_dude, first I just want to say that I love the videos. Keep 'em coming! If you ever get a chance I would love to see some Shorts or videos on how you repel. Like, the types of knots you use, the safety checks you perform before starting your descent, etc. You know, kinda like a show-and-tell. Anyway, please keep those videos coming and I'll keep watching and thumbing them up. :)

[@Mineral_dude]

You know that’s a brilliant point, I’ll definitely play around with that idea! Do you have a specific questions I could answer for you right now?

[@Craving-Adventure]

Nothing specific since I don’t know enough about the rappelling gear and how to use it. I really want to get involved with my local grotto but until I do any knowledge you want to drop I’m totally down for. Maybe in your next video you can explain how the bars work. How do you decide how many bars to use? I imagine more bars means more friction which means it’s easier to control your decent?

[@gordtron]

The Upside Down reminds me of The Unknown from that crappy knockoff Willy Wonka production recently.

[@Mineral_dude]

Jesus that sounds awful 😂

[@gordtron]

@@Mineral_dude look up "willy wonka its the unknown". was viral a few weeks ago, so funny. so many upset kids and parents.

Duddeeeeeeee

[@Mineral_dude]

Dooooooooood

[@laurahaaima1436]

Yall make my squiggle like a worm in my chair.. Those ledges look unforgiving..

[@LowRangeOutdoors]

Next time we’ll have a rope pad and we’ll do the whole drop!!!!

[@Mineral_dude]

💯 😄

[@atibbet]

Have you ever heard of the deepest AirBnB? It’s overseas but it’s supposed to be like 1300 ft down in a mountain.

[@duaneayers6117]

QUESTION FOR Y'ALL. What the heck was that loud bang we all heard at (TS)9:45 JUST CURIOUS

[@Mineral_dude]

That was the rock he dropped off the top of that ledge finally hitting the bottom. That’s fantastic pit and it’s 586 feet deep

[@kick8472]

What shoes do you typically wear going in? Are the Adidas your standard footware?

[@Mineral_dude]

Light weight boots, nothing too crazy so you can climb and be limber, I personally am not a fan of the sneakers like you’ll hear me say in this video but a lot of people swear by em

[@Craving-Adventure]

Do you guys ever drink the water in the cave without filtering it? I'm guessing it's probably not safe to do that if you are bringing lots of your own water or that water filter bottle.

[@Mineral_dude]

Yeah in an emergency I would drink the drips from the ceiling, but you really never know what’s in that water, yes always filter it or bring fresh unless you know the cave has safe water (some caves do)

MY X HAS THE DEEPEST HOLE I EVER BEEN IN AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY

@@Mineral_dude Just saying he puts people to death for taking his name in vain. You wouldn't use your mothers name as a cuss word would you?
