Digging Open A Hidden Pit Cave... What's Below? | #caving

If you enjoy cave exploration, cave hunting, vertical caving, and underground adventures, this is one you don’t want to miss. Join us on another cave hunting adventure as we search for a never-before-explored cave in the forests of North Alabama. After discovering a tiny hole hidden in the woods, we launched an excavation project to carefully widen the entrance and investigate what lay below. We suspected the opening might lead to a pit cave—but there was no way to know how deep it went until we geared up and dropped in. In this video, you’ll see the tools, digging techniques, and vertical caving gear used to safely explore a potential new cave. Did this small opening lead to a significant underground discovery, or was it a dead end? Watch the video to follow the excavation and find out what we uncovered beneath the surface. #verticalcaving #caveexploration ▶️CHAPTERS▶️ 00:00 – Searching for a New Cave: Excavation Project Begins 01:34 – Drilling, Hammering & Chiseling the Cave Entrance 07:08 – Breaking Rock to Open the Hidden Passage 08:50 – Sending a Spot X Satellite Message Before Caving 09:53 – Tight Rappel Into an Unexplored Pit Cave 11:50 – First Look Inside a Brand New Cave 16:07 – Climbing Out & Post-Exploration Debrief PRODUCTS: Spot LLC is not a sponsor of this channel, and the Spot X device featured in the video was purchased with our own money.
