Charming place..

Dan’s cave and Sawmill sink are nice finds even without scuba gear.

It was an honor for Shaun and I to be a part of this survey. I learned a tremendous amount of information giving me an even deeper respect for caves and caving. Profound gratitude from the both of us! Well done guys! Can’t wait until this one is framed and on my wall!❤

Well done Kelly and your merry band of adventurers! What great cave!

Y'all are SO BRAVE! thank you for sharing!

Great work. Imagine the challenges of filming underground with no light except for that which you bring. I didn’t know flashbulbs were still a thing.

Which cave is this.? Thanks for sharing! 😊

Wow!!! That was fascinating!!!! Great video you guys!

Here becuase Of Cave Hobbies

The biggest problem with CO2 is that it binds with the red blood cells extremely easy. It's just how gas exchange works inside of your body. But add extra to the air that you are breathing and its lights out for you. It does not take much to get to the dangerous area...

This is so 70s man...what in thee el ess dee is going on here! 😂 great music btw🌹😘🤣

The looks on the faces during the “one more dive” pep talk say most had their curiosity well met already.

Like if here from divetalk!

Here because of Dive Talk

Fairy tales are cool 😊

You could set up a dozen solar stills, and have all the fresh water you could use. The US Navy even developed a inflatable still for lifeboats. Its pretty easy actually.

42:50 that’s Jim Ridgwell in orange at the top of the rope!

How long do those PEDICAP respiratory CO2 monitors last outside of the bag? Are they still functional?

what is guano

Es ist nicht so geglückt das man den sprechertext selber (also ohne professionellen übersetzer) vom deutschen auf englisch übersetzt hat, da gibt es jetzt recht viele sonderbare ausdrücke die deutsch sind aber auf englisch nicht richtig funktionieren, sowie einige grammatische fragwürdigkeiten. Als beispiel, "überall" bedeutet auf englisch nicht "overall" sonder "everywhere". Mal umgedreht bedeutet das englische "overall" ausser dem kleidungsstück auch "gesamt" oder "im grossen und ganzen", aber halt nicht "überall". 'Falsche freunde' wie man solche direktübersetzungsfehler im linguistischen nennt, sind bei der übersetzung von deutsch auf englisch ein sehr grosses problem und die meissten deutschen sind sich dessen nicht bewusst. Durch schlechte übersetzung verlieren deutsche dokumentarfilme an attraktionskraft im ausland und viel von dem was man versucht auszudrücken geht komplett verloren. Auch den namen der höhle in diesem falle ins englische zu übersetzen und dann in gekürtzter form, wie in deutsch schon manches mal üblich, weiter im sprechertext zu benutzen ergiebt für englischsprachige keinen sinn. Mehrere male ist von "the thing" die rede ohne den kontext das damit der name der höhle gemeint ist und der text wirkt dadurch sehr dilettantisch. Das ist als hätte man im deutschen sprechertext erzählt "Das seil haben die kletterer in diesem dingsbums da unten liegen lassen!" ungefähr so versteht das ein englischer zuschauer. Das ist schon recht fürchterlich übersetzt. P.S. Wurde da gerade wanderweg in "wanderwalk" oder "wonderwalk" übersetzt? Die korrekte übersetzung währe "trail" oder "hiking path". Und [fels-] nase ist nicht kontextlos "nose" denn das ist die nase im gesicht. Passend währe da "rocky outcrop". Es geht langsam eher in richtung ungewollte komik als in richtung informativ. Ein gewisses gefühl des fremdschämens setzt leider ein. Tip: Google Translate übersetzt recht solide und man hätte sich bei dessen benutzung 80-90% der fehler sparen können. Katastrofal das sowas von ZDF/Arte kommt... Eine deutsche version habe ich jetzt nicht gefunden, die hätte etwas mehr spass gemacht. Natürlich en faszinierender dokumentarfilm ansonsten.

I came across a pin 📌 i had to look up what it was and now im intrigued 😊

My Bric5 just arrived, and I'm so very, very ready to go get some data!

I have to go here before I die

This is truly a remarkable video, that cave has to be the wildest cave I have ever seen!! Even though it's terrifying looking, I am still drawn to wanting to experience that cave.

what is the water temperature?

I swam in the underground lake back in 95, bloody freezing, but so invigorating.

Hazel, Just watching this presentation (almost three years after your presentation. We are fortunate to have your background and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it. (I've been watching this channel from the first video chronologically). It's unfortunate that some still refuse to trust those that put time and effort into their career. In my career, there was always learning and improvement. Data driven decisions most always are better than emotional driven decisions.... I'm not sure if you presented on this topic in the future from the date this was posted. I did watch the previous presentation you did... Thank you

Doug Medville was my Group Leader & Department Head at The MITRE Corporation. I remember when he turned 55, he said, "We hit our 401k goal. My wife & I are going to retire and spend the rest of our lives ...caving." A man of great enthusiasm for Life. It was an honor to work for him, meet his daughter, and see what he has accomplished since retiring a decade earlier than most. A highly intelligent and curious human being, physically tough, caring, and one that has left legacies in myriad areas of expertise. When they speak of people that are, 'outliers,' Doug Melville is one such person. I would not be surprised to see him one-day competing in the Centenarian Decathlon. Great job, Doug. You've made the world a better place. Best, to Hazel & Susan.

So they are testing the resistance of bat shit. Sounds like crucial data.

I really really want to find people in my area that know about caving. I would love to do this so bad

Fascinating update (for me). Did a lot of caving in the VA/WV area back in the day (1970's-early '80's). Caving in those days with our old-timey (sometimes sketchy) NSS Guidebook maps, could be quite a challenge. Fortunately back then, most caves were wide open, largely unvandalized, and most land owners welcomed visitors displaying a NSS patch on their coveralls. One of our all-time best trips was visiting Newberry-Banes for the challenge presented in the old guidebook of entering Newberry, finding the connection, and exiting Banes. With all the pre-rigging and gear retrieval required, it made for an incredibly long but very interesting day! Glad to see younger generations still pushing the limits of cave exploration through the NSS. Looks like connections to Buddy Penley and Banes Spring will someday be found. We have visited both of those caves as well.

This is so inspiring!

Great Presentation on Wonder Cave ! I was able to view Wonder Cave in the early 1970s. I don't remember much about it as i was young. My mom was raised in the Monteagle Assembley and my dad always talked about the cave. Dad told me that the National Geographic Society did documentation on Wonder Cave, and they explored further than anybody had sometime in the 1970s early 1980. My dad was part of the National Geographic Society at the time, as he was in the military, and said lots of photos were made of the areas they explored. They stayed a week in the cave. Dad was not allowed to keep any of the photos or documentation. Just curious if anyone has seen this documentation or any of the photos.

Fascinating a shame its not developed it could bring tourism and dollars to the community.

This...this is amazing. Thank you youtube rabbit hole.

Way cool presentation! Thorough!

How dare you guys not show us the Shangri-La system that you went 80 times to ???

Way cool presentation! Thanks for sharing

interesting

nice pictures, impressive narration, thank you for this video.

It would be interesting to know what they found with the information they obtained with this research.

Glad the public can't trash the place, least not at the moment.

Spectacular!!

Outstanding production! This short compilation should entice anyone to want to "duck under" and see the sights for themselves.

This was a really cool talk. I would love to be able to find artifacts like the ones at 8:20 while caving.

That was fascinating and extremely well done. Who knew something so beautiful was underneath that farm in Virginia. Also impressed by the fortitude of the cavers. Do you know if there are cave systems in Strasburg, Va?

What amazing life around the caves. What a spirit of Dave. An example of how you should live your life, around your dreams!

any orcs or balrogs discovered?

Thanks for sharing.

Alright!
