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
The Unsolved Mystery of Josh Day: A Fiery Gizzard Cold Case
Today’s video is a little different than what we normally do. Most of the time, we’re out exploring caves, showing you the beauty underground, and sharing what we love about caving, especially here in Tennessee. But this time… we were contacted about something much heavier. Jason and I were recently reached out to by a special investigator with the Grundy County District Attorney’s Office regarding a cold case. A missing person. A man named Josh Day. This case hits close to h
This Tennessee Pit Shouldn't Exist
Join Jason and I on his BIRTHDAY as we head out to explore a truly unique pit here in the TAG (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia) region. This 100-foot drop is located in Tennessee and is formed entirely in sandstone, something you just don’t see often around here, as the majority of our caves develop in limestone. Even getting to the pit was an adventure, navigating through a maze of fallen trees that made the approach just as memorable as the cave itself. The rappel starts off wi
We Rode ATVs to the Middle of Nowhere... Then Went DOWN
Join Jason, myself, and our friends Dave & Kelly as we head deep into the remote Alabama wilderness in search of off-the-beaten-path caves. This adventure takes us over 15 miles across rugged terrain, riding 4-wheelers through mud holes, past blooming wildflowers, and into some truly beautiful backcountry. We explore TWO known caves along the way, one that doesn’t quite match its description, and even stumble onto something unexpected… a small opening that just might lead to
Do NOT Enter This Cave Without a Net (Swarmed)
g with us as we explore an Alabama cave… along with about 50,000 tiny gnats. Yep, these bugs followed us over a mile underground, drawn to our lights the entire way. This trip was a special one for our friend Rhiannon, who wanted to take her dad caving. He had been caving when he was much younger but this was going to be a first for them going caving together. She originally reached out to us last spring while working on a documentary for her Capstone project, so it was aweso
Chasing a Lost Cave in the Sequatchie Valley
Jason and I set out along a remote ridge in the Sequatchie Valley with one goal in mind, find a cave that shouldn’t exist. The Sequatchie Valley stretches roughly 150 miles long and 3–5 miles wide, cutting through the Cumberland Plateau. It was formed by the erosion of the Sequatchie anticline, a long, narrow fold that shaped this unique landscape. Because of this geology, the ridges throughout the valley are typically riddled with caves. But not here along this 8-mile stretc
Civil War Saltpeter Relics Discovered Inside this Tennessee Cave
Join us as we venture deep into a historic cave in Grundy County, Tennessee, where hidden remnants of the past have survived for more than 160 years. Inside this cave lie well-preserved saltpeter vats used by miners during the Civil War, when caves across the region were mined for the nitrates needed to produce gunpowder. As we explore this cave, we also discover a variety of fascinating markings and signatures left behind by those who came here long before and after the Civi
How we Mapped Our Newly Discovered Alabama Cave!
A few days after digging open that tight little hole on the Alabama ridge, we knew we had to come back. When you open a cave that’s never been entered before, the real work is just beginning. This time we returned with survey gear, vertical gear, and the same question every caver asks after a discovery… How big is it, really? Join us as we head back to the ridge to begin the first survey of this brand-new cave and start pushing the passages beyond the entrance dig. What start
