That is brutal. Worst way to go, gives me a panic attack just thinking about it.

My uncle and aunt are really into it and have caving crews they roll with. I meant a bunch of them and they’re a strange crew. Mostly stoners and off grid types.

Did it quite a bit while in college. Tons of caves in the North Alabama area. I even got to go to several closed to the public. And yes, crawling on your stomach with solid rock pressing down on you is unnerving.

Doubt I could do it today.

I'll take the lighted tours in the large areas of Mammoth Cave but that's it.

Only the kind I can stand up and walk around in with bats hanging from the ceiling.

Only with my eyes closed, I am definitely claustrophobic.

Caving isn’t that bad, just need work your way up to get in some of the tighter areas you hear about.

It is also good for exercise and can be relaxing as well. Pretty rare to have tragedies like this.

Yep. There's something about how he presents it that brings it to "life". I had a sick feeling when I first saw that video, and I still get it now.

i'm an ncrc - national cave rescue commission - rescuer
it's wild. there are several routes in the tag (tn,al,ga) where if you go in, you have to sign a waiver saying we will not come rescue you. it's impossible to do so

Just enough to get it out of my system.

Quickly found out it’s a lot like rock climbing and bouldering without being in the dark and constantly dirty. Like filthy dirty. Above ground was much more fun.
