I was so interested that I looked up that translucent crawfish. It’s an Orconectes sheltae, which was thought to be extinct until very recently. What a neat capture!

I used to have dreams when I was kid about finding a Goonies style cave in my yard. I am so jealous😂 thanks for sharing

crawling in a cave is one thing but crawling under lose boulders is what gets me.

This is SO incredibly cool. This is, Imho, the best sort of thing YouTube can be: real people sharing real experiences!

Thank you all so much for sharing and i wish you all many more happy explorations!

That waterfall looked like it was full of gold! Sweet cave!

Why don’t we see piles of dirt & debris after 3 days of digging? The entrance looks natural to years of looking like that!

Imagine having that in your backyard! Survival shelter palace!

U can see just how fast an adventure can turn into a rescue

3:09 was a nearly a possible serious injury. Excellent recovery though. Three points of contact rule: you should be as sure of your handholds as much as you are your footholds.

Watching this again but I find it really interesting because most cave explorers know each other and often spelunk together or soon after each group. And having all of your friends I get to see them caves from multiple perspectives

You guys should take a black light with you. I can totally see some of those caves coming to life under a powerful black light.

8:58 I was wondering why the crayfish was moving towards his finger but then backed off real quick. Then I realized that cave animals have evolved to have small eyes and thus very limited vision. It probably saw parts of his finger in the water or something and thought it was piece-sized food, until it got close enough to realize that the "food" was much bigger than it was and decided to back away.

It's very hard to find passages that nobody's ever been in these days.

After a few more months, that cave should be huge.

"To the Batcave Robin!"

This was so exciting. How lucky you are to have that on your property. Its always been a dream of mine. Thank you for sharing this journey.

man if i found this in my private secluded back garden.. what a dream. id make the entrance hidden and spend my life making it nice and comfy inside, always developing it

I've always remembered the difference between stalactites and stalagmites is simple to stay connected with the roof you need to hold tight and to grow up strong and mighty

3minutes in, already getting heart palpitations....😂😂😂

Bring a Gold Pan next time, place is filled with Gold!
