NO Going Back: There Was Only ONE Way Out of This Cave
There is only one way out... and it’s straight down. Come along with us on an adrenaline-fueled caving adventure deep into the heart of TAG (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia)! In this episode, we are tackling a punishing and highly challenging through trip, one that we have never attempted before. A through trip means there is no turning back. Once we pull our ropes, our only option is to navigate entirely through the mountain to exit out of a completely different opening on the o
65 Years Later: We Mapped a 100-Foot Pit Discovered by Tom Barr
Join Jason and me as we travel into the far reaches of Marion County, Tennessee, to survey one of the last remaining 100-foot pits in the area that had never been mapped. To gather our data underground, we used the Bric5 Survey Tool to instantly and accurately capture distance, compass readings, and inclination, while Jason utilized TopoDroid for the actual survey mapping. To measure the pit depth we use a Keson 200' Fiberglass Tape. This cave was originally discovered in 196
20-Year Breakthrough: Mapping Past the Tight Squeeze
We’re BACK in Alabama to continue our ongoing cave survey project, and this trip is all about making one final push through the squeeze that has been slowing our progress. This time it's just the three of us, myself, Jason, and Robby, as we head underground determined to reach the other side and continue mapping this incredible cave. Before we could survey, we still had one major obstacle standing in our way. After spending several hours carefully modifying the tight passage,
How a Subscriber Tip Led to a MAJOR Alabama Cave Discovery!
After discovering THREE caves on a subscriber's property near Arab, Alabama, there was one cave we simply couldn't stop thinking about. In our previous video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B70PiU_3jTU), we found a large walk-in cave that just kept going. What started as a quick look turned into an exciting discovery as passage after passage opened up before us. Unfortunately, we weren't prepared for a full exploration and had to turn around, leaving hundreds, possibly thous
A Landowner Told Us To Dig Here... Look What We Found!
Can a 5-inch crack lead to a massive underground discovery? 🏔️✨ When a local landowner reached out to us about a "blowing lead" on their property, we knew we had to check it out. Finding a tiny opening blasting out a strong wall of cold air can only mean one thing: there is a cave system waiting to be found. In this video, join Jason, myself, and our good friend Angel as we head out on a Thursday afternoon to tackle the project. The entrance was a mere 5 inches wide and impo
Inside Alabama's Most EXTREME Cave Dig Project
We are BACK at the most extreme cave dig project in Alabama, and this time, we brought reinforcements! Joining us for this massive push is a crew of Hoosiers, our good friends Robby and Leanne, and a newer caver, Brandon, who was eager to get some hands-on experience under his belt. To tackle this project efficiently, we split into two dedicated teams: The Dig Team: Myself, Robby, Danny, Danny's son Jonathan (JD), Greg, and Val. The Survey Team: Jason, Leanne, and Brandon. Th
A Subscriber Sent Us Here... & We Found 3 NEW Alabama Caves!
A huge shoutout to one of our amazing subscribers who reached out about some potential new caves on their property in Arab, Alabama! Jason and I were recently contacted by a landowner about a pit they believed might qualify as a cave, and they wanted to find out what was inside. When we arrived, we met up with Lindsey, Joey, Lauren, Robert, and 13-year-old Rayne! Since none of them had previous rope experience, we spent some time in their horse barn teaching them the basics o
The Secret Cave No One Knows About
After work on a Friday evening, Jason and I loaded up on the 4 wheeler and headed down into the cove behind our house with one goal in mind… finally begin surveying a secret cave we’ve known about for years. We’ve owned this property for over 12 years and built our home here nearly 9 years ago. Over the years, we’ve visited this cave a handful of times and always knew it deserved a proper survey. Right now, the cave is listed as a 40-foot pit with roughly 600 feet of known pa
Lechuguilla Aquatico: The Most Beautiful Cave in Mexico
Join us as Jason and I explore one of the most beautiful caves we have ever visited in Mexico! On this special trip, we were invited to tag along with a speleologist and his university students as they traveled deep into the cave to collect water samples for research. Along with our friend Roberto leading the way, we swam what felt like over a mile underground through crystal clear water, surrounded by some of the most incredible cave formations and massive amounts of calcite
Exploring a Massive 40,000 Foot Long Cave
Come along with Jason, myself, and a few of our good buddies (Robby, JP, & Kim) as we explore a massive 40,000-foot long cave near Sevierville, Tennessee. After getting a late start we arrived at the cave and met with two of the landowners. They had expressed some interest in going into the cave with us so we spent a little time gearing them up and getting them on rope in a tree for some practice. We then all headed underground. Not far in, we stumbled across something unexpe
