I remember seeing a video of a dude exploring a cave and he was crawling through some narrow ass space tighter than under my bed. Why would one want to do this??? What if it was a dead end? How tf are you gonna turn around? Crawl backwards? I just can't with any of this
You will never reap the rewards of being trapped under water for hours with that kind of attitude.
The Eternal Reward, that is.
I've seen such video. The dude struggled to move because he just barely fit in enough to still be able to breathe. There was water in there, and he said he has to return because it's starting to fill with water.
Fill with water? Nope. Nope. Why would I go in such space.
Edit: Maybe this could be it: https://youtu.be/6Yf0gDzUMFA
Funny thing is I'm terrified of spelunking, but actively working towards being certified for cave diving.
Fill it with water and I'm interested!
I think part of it is that I can't get stuck as easily with scuba gear strapped on my back, and I don't have to worry about gravity fucking me over.
And I'll never go anywhere that requires squeezing my fat ass through a crack.
I can relate. I did some cave diving in Mexico, and it was incredible. Having said that, there are some locations I would dive again, and some I definitely would not.
Those guys got blessed by the algorithm or something I recognize the channel and video. Don’t know why YouTube decided I would be interested in spelunking but their videos are pretty entertaining at least. Personally I’ll take heights over tight spaces anyday.
How about this, there's people that do this underwater. They take the tank off their back, push it out ahead of them. If they get stuck, they don't have 27 hours to try and figure their shit out, they have a couple hours at best
That's where I draw the line.
Normal spelunking, minimal vertical work, the occasional belly crawl no smaller than a manhole. That's actually a pretty good time. You get wet, dirty, have a few laughs with your friends, and then shake it off with some beers back at the campsite. No need to go aggressive with ridiculously tight crawls and/or 100's of feet of vertical work, etc.
Cave diving? Let's take an activity where it's very easy to loose track of time, and add SCUBA which requires time management down to the minute for your health and survival. Nevermind getting lost, disoriented, or wedged underwater somewhere. I get that this is very intrepid stuff, and the very distant corners of cave systems are being explored this way. But it's a big no for me; the risk does not justify the reward, IMO.
SCUBA is even worse because any movement kicks up sediment, so that visibility quickly turns to nil. Cave diving has a very, very high mortality rate; BASE jumping is safer.
at least in a water cave you die with a predictable speed.
Not to mention unexpected currents that can either smack you against nearby rocks or sweep you further downward in an uncontrolled manner.
I used to go spelunking... I honestly can't answer you. Kinda neat but mostly just being in the total dark in a tiny space surrounded by rocks.
On the plus side i can basically fall asleep in an MRI
I don't think the main problem to fall sleep in an MRI is the small space.
True. They are very noisy but the nurses all seem initially concerned with claustrophobia.
Don't forget the spiders
