7 Days Stranded In A Cave
Category
😹
FunTranscript
00:00I don't normally do intros like this, but I'm currently descending hundreds of feet into a cave that runs over five kilometers deep into the earth
00:08And whether we like it or not, as soon as my friends and I touch the ground
00:13We are officially stranded here for the next seven days
00:18That might have been the scariest thing I've ever done. First things first, we gotta get really far away from where we rappelled down
00:24Why? If it storms, this entire area includes flash floods
00:28Fill up like an ocean and potentially drown us all, which is why we're going deep into the cave to set up base camp
00:33Bro, this is just wicked. Dude, this is like a different world. This cave entrance may be beautiful, but looks can be deceiving
00:40We didn't know it yet, but the next seven days will by far be the hardest of our entire lives
00:48It's gonna get dark in a couple hours. If we don't have a camp, we're screwed, okay?
00:52Do you have any idea where you're going?
00:53We're just looking for flat ground to set up camp. Upon entering the mouth of the cave
00:57We stumbled upon an area with high enough elevation to protect us from any flash flooding, meaning that it was perfect for camp
01:04Perfect is a crazy word. Good enough is what I would use. Good enough for camp
01:07We spent the rest of day one
01:09Grabbing our supplies that we were dropped with. Each one of these bags weighs like 80 pounds. And as you can see by the footage
01:14We spent around four hours. This is very hard to traverse
01:18Getting all of it back up to our base camp. Alright, we've got some lights on in here
01:23Our supplies are finally at our home base
01:25And if you point the camera over there
01:27You'll see it's pitch black
01:29It took all day. And so we set up the bare minimum for camping grounds
01:33We drilled holes to hang up some ropes. Grab these, pull yourself up
01:36Looks like the ropes will be able to support hammocks. And with the help of our survival guide Joel, we hung our hammocks
01:42This thin rope is what holds up my hammock. Yeah. Ate some dinner and prepared for a very cold night one
01:48Not gonna lie, this hammock is way more comfortable than I thought it would be. Hey
01:52Oh God
01:54Why is my head so big bro?
01:56This part of the cave is two and a half kilometers deep and we're basically camping at the entrance. Tomorrow
02:01We have a lot of exploring
02:07How'd you guys sleep?
02:08Horribly. I didn't. It's a very perplexing environment. The caves constantly dripping water on us from above
02:14So we put a tarp over us, but even still the waters dripping into our hammocks. I have an idea
02:19Let's make our shelter actually good
02:21I say we connect these tarps so we stay dry while we're sleeping. That's literally genius. I'm not just a youtuber
02:26Okay, my hammock gets out right here
02:29Are we serious right now?
02:30This is where I just got out of bed and we didn't realize it at the time
02:33But this hole is almost 40 feet deep
02:35So while Sean and I got started on the super tarp Mac and Carl went to see how dangerous this hole was for themselves
02:41Do you see my hammock up there? That is where I slept. Now look at this. And because everything looks the same
02:46It's probably pretty hard to follow us in this cave. On this map
02:49You can see our home base and how far they're moving away from it
02:52Alright Mac, it's been real bro. Oh bro, this is crazy
02:55While the boys are randomly exploring, me and Sean actually have to work on the camp
03:00Why is there a sleeping bag over here?
03:03Because it smelled like pee
03:05Ew. Lesson number one. Don't rent your sleeping bags. Why did we rent sleeping bags?
03:10Why did we not just buy sleeping bags? We're zip-tying the tarps together to create one mega tarp. Don't mind me just
03:17Trusting this rope with my life. And meanwhile, Mac and Carl were still in a hole. Oh my god
03:24And eventually they finally made it to the bottom
03:28We're supposed to be working on camp. We just wanted to show how dangerous camp was. Just don't fall. It's a skill issue
03:34Oh, okay
03:36Even though they should have been on their way back, Carl and Mac insisted on seeing how deep they could go. Bro, this just looks so crazy
03:42You think you could make it through the river?
03:47But little do these two know, this river actually runs throughout the entire cave, which means we'll be spending some time in it
03:56Tell me you guys cooked. Oh, we cooked. That's right. A new home, am I right? Let's go. We now have a roof
04:03Look at this. I'm not gonna lie, it's actually kind of gross. And we moved the fire pit to this little cove we found
04:08What do you think? It's warmer. It's cozy. These rocks trap the heat here and block the pee from the rocks above
04:14It's not pee. What do I call it? I don't know, maybe rain or something? It's not rain. It's rock
04:19Point it up. Do you see clouds? No, you see rocks. It's not rain. Rock pee. Rock pee
04:26Rock pee, fine. All right, it's rock pee. And after a much drier night of sleep
04:30We decided to have Joel, our survival expert, help us get all the way to the end of the cave. Cave!
04:37Cave!
04:39Cave! Cave!
04:41Let's see how deep in the cave we can make it. Now, keep in mind
04:44We are still just at the beginning of this massive cave and our goal is to make it all the way through it
04:50Without dying, of course. Oh my gosh, this is kind of steep. Bro, you ain't seen nothing yet
04:54We're going deep in the cave. All right boys, suckin' you guts. Before things get tight
04:59I don't actually think I'm gonna fit. The interesting part about cave exploration is one second
05:03You're barely fitting through cracks in the rocks. Oh my god, this is so tight. And then the next you're in a massive chamber
05:09So big that in order to see it all we had to do this
05:13Oh my god, I can actually see now. This is awesome. This thing is bright
05:19Wow, look at how cool this is
05:23So bright I can't even look at it. I'm like getting blinded. Oh no. Oh no! In hindsight
05:28We probably didn't use that the most effectively. Lead the way. And so we continued on
05:33Joel's brain is a really good handle at the top there
05:35And then you can sort of swing a foot around onto this one. Like this? Yeah, yeah, perfect. Joel, the best caving guide ever
05:42No one's died yet
05:44Alright guys, this is where things get interesting. What? What is this?
05:49So from this point on, wetsuits, we're going for a swim. Yesterday, Mac and Carl were joking about doing this
05:55But the rest of this cave adventure takes place in a freezing river
05:59Oh my god, this is insane!
06:01Weeding wetsuits are the only way to not get hypothermia. Why are we doing this? This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
06:07It's because you die after you do it!
06:09So in order to get to the end of the cave
06:11We have to hop in this river and fight the rapids through this tiny hole in the rock and carefully squeeze our way through it
06:17Take your time, it will take your feet behind you a little bit
06:20Alright, I'm getting in the river. You want to follow, follow the wall around. It's so cold!
06:25You got it, Jimmy
06:27Ah! I don't know if I fit!
06:29I need you to pull yourself up out of the water
06:31Oh my god!
06:33What's crazy about doing this
06:35Is when you're completely submerged in freezing cold water, gripping onto the rocks becomes incredibly hard
06:41Oh my gosh, that was crazy!
06:43Mac, Carl, let's go!
06:45You got this!
06:47Keep going!
06:49Look how crazy this is!
06:51And even though this obstacle was difficult, it's nothing compared to what's up ahead
06:54We did it!
06:57We're now 10% done!
06:59Which means we've only scratched the surface of this expedition
07:02And we still have over 2km remaining to reach the end
07:06As you can see, it rains in this cave 24-7
07:09So I'm making a chill spot for us to hang out in and not get wet
07:12I wonder what it would look like if I wasn't here to build all this
07:15Pretty sure they'd just be sleeping in a pile on a wet rock
07:19The water will keep moving now that the bodies are wet
07:22Temperatures are going to drop quickly
07:24Why is this so difficult?
07:29The worst part is, every inch we go this way
07:32Is an inch we gotta go that way to get back to camp
07:34Our next obstacle may be out of the water
07:36But that doesn't make it any easier to get through
07:39Is that a spider web?
07:41That means it's probably on us
07:43It's on you!
07:44I hate my friends
07:45This cave is like a Mr. Beast video
07:47The further you go, the harder it gets
07:49Just straight up, if we didn't have Joel, I'd be dead
07:52And after 3 hours, Joel had some bad news for us
07:55The water's too high and we've taken too long
07:58We're going to have to turn around for today and head back to camp
08:01I disagree!
08:02You can't disagree with a safety expert!
08:04I disagree!
08:05Well, we can't really disagree
08:07It turns out we wasted way too much time filming
08:09And playing with flares
08:11To the point where we now had to restart
08:13And attempt this mission another day
08:17Sean, we're back!
08:18What did you do while we were gone?
08:20Hopefully nobody gets wet now
08:21I didn't even know we packed lights
08:23Yeah, they're awesome, right?
08:24Sadly, we only made it 20% through the cave today
08:26But mark my words, we will go the distance in a future day
08:30I doubt it
08:31That's not gonna happen
08:32We might rest on day 4
08:34And then on day 5, try to go all the way to the end of the cave
08:37And see what's there
08:38Day 3 was a lot of fun
08:40I'll see you guys tomorrow
08:44And after a third miserable night in the cave
08:46The next morning, we only had one thing in mind
08:49A hot shower would literally save my life right now
08:52Oh, showering would be awesome
08:54I haven't showered in 3-4 days
08:57As you can imagine, showering inside a cave isn't easy
08:59We had to hike all the way back to where we rappelled in
09:02To safely reach the riverbed
09:04It's so cold! Oh my god!
09:06I feel my brain
09:07I've never felt my brain like this
09:08My forehead is frostbite!
09:10Let's use the drone to dry our heads off
09:11Come here, drone!
09:12Stop, stop!
09:13It's actually working
09:14Yeah, it is working
09:15Who needs a hairdryer when you have a drone?
09:17And after we dried off
09:18We sat down with Joel to plan our journey
09:20What is this, Joel?
09:21This is the map of the cave
09:22Last time, we had to stop because of the fast moving water
09:25But the rains have been slowing
09:26So we might just get a window to reach the end by tomorrow
09:29Dude, this is about to be wild
09:31First, we'll need to pass some of those same rapids from yesterday
09:34Dive off massive cliffs and avoid jagged rocks
09:37And if we can make it past all that
09:39We will finally make it to the beautiful glowworm chamber
09:42Don't tell us what that looks like
09:44I want us to be surprised
09:45Do you think we're gonna make it?
09:47Nah, let's not play that game
09:48We're all gonna make it
09:49With tomorrow's plan thoroughly mapped out
09:51We rested up and made feastable s'mores to regain our energy
09:55Everyone, cheers!
09:57Oh, Joel's about to have his first feastable s'more
09:59Alright, Joel, be honest
10:01Joel approves?
10:02Joel approves
10:03Why didn't we whip this chocolate out earlier?
10:04This just got like 10 times more fun
10:06Guys, for real
10:07If you've never tried s'mores with feastables
10:09You're really missing out
10:10Tomorrow, we're gonna explore the entire cave
10:12We'll see you guys then
10:13So we tried to sleep as much as we could
10:15And prepare for tomorrow's journey to the end of the cave
10:18We're about to embark on one of the most dangerous journeys of my life
10:21Because of our experience from day three
10:23And focusing less on filming
10:24We were able to make progress way faster
10:27This water's cold
10:28Just like the other day, bro
10:30No, it's not easy
10:32And to ensure our best chance of survival
10:34In addition to Joel
10:35We brought another survival expert with us
10:37This is where we had to stop on day three
10:39How we doing?
10:40I think we're making much better time
10:41Behind us, it's pitch black
10:43Where do we go?
10:44This area gets narrow
10:46The current's strong
10:47So we're gonna use the walls
10:48And kinda climb our way along
10:50Yep, through we go
10:51I got it
10:52I'll go
10:53Jump for that first rock
10:54There's a couple of good rocks around the corner as well
10:56You can get a hand onto
10:58It's so dark down here
10:59There's no bottom right now
11:00My feet aren't touching the ground right now
11:02Because we couldn't reach the ground
11:04This meant that if we let go now
11:06We could get swept away by the strong current
11:08Directly beneath us
11:09Joel, what are we doing?
11:10I'll go into here if you can
11:12That's a good one
11:13I can't even see where I'm going
11:14The current is taking me away
11:16You got it, you got it
11:17Get yourself in there
11:19It's gonna get way gentler
11:20I go in here?
11:21Yep, in the hole
11:24Yeah, well done, well done
11:26This might be the most insane thing we've ever done
11:28We are much deeper in the cave than we've ever been
11:31And we're now approaching our first serious obstacle
11:33Basically, the water's recirculating
11:36So if you fall in
11:37It takes you to the bottom
11:38And it keeps you there
11:39If we fall, we would die
11:41Okay, so death is on the table
11:42This is just not what I thought I was signing up for
11:47Well done
11:48Yeah, perfect
11:54Caving is a lot harder than I thought
11:56You can tell how strong this river is
11:58Because it created this entire cave
11:59And fun fact, we're not as strong as a cave
12:02I'm barely as strong as a human
12:04Well, fortunately for us
12:05Rather than Carl leading this expedition
12:07We've got the literal Avenger, Joel
12:10And just to prove how much of an expert he is
12:12This man literally flexed on us
12:14By jumping off a cliff
12:18Oh my god
12:19You're crazy
12:20Who else is a bit crazy?
12:22Surely one of you guys are keen
12:24I'm crazy
12:25No shot you want to do that
12:26What are you talking about?
12:27I'm doing it right now, baby
12:28Let's go, Joel
12:29Godspeed, Matt
12:30After everything Jimmy's put me through
12:32This ain't that scary for me
12:34Three, two, one
12:36Woohoo!
12:41You doing it?
12:42No, we've got to keep going
12:43Or we will hit the end
12:45Oh my god
12:49Can we go downstream?
12:50Why are we always fighting the current?
12:52I might just start drifting away
12:53I might just give it up
12:54There are sharp rocks underneath the water
12:56You cannot see them
12:58So watch your step
12:59Oh my god
13:00It's getting deep again
13:01I can't, I need to put my feet up
13:03And if the sharp rocks weren't enough of a challenge
13:05It seemed like with every step we took
13:07Oh, bro, I can't see anything
13:09I can't see anything
13:10This is terrifying
13:11The cave became darker, tighter
13:13And ruthless enough
13:15That we began to question
13:16If we could even get to the finish line
13:20This is exhausting
13:22This cave is about to get a lot harder
13:24And I have something I need to show all of you
13:25Joel, can I see your bag?
13:27Thank you
13:28You know what you've been carrying?
13:29What have I been carrying?
13:30The brand new Mr. Beast Lab Swarms
13:33I'll be honest, guys
13:34As you can see
13:35Because of what I've been going through
13:36For the past five hours
13:37I'm clearly in no shape to tell you about this right now
13:40And so, a month after we filmed this
13:42I built an entire cave set
13:43Threw on my Future Jimmy name tag
13:45And then said
13:46Hey, Future Jimmy here
13:47And I'm gonna tell you about my brand new toy line
13:49Mr. Beast Lab Swarms
13:50It's a collectible toy line
13:52With over 119 uniquely designed characters
13:55That you can collect
13:56And the coolest part is
13:57To find out which character you got
13:58You pour water into this tube
14:00Shake it up
14:01And the swarms will appear in front of your very eyes
14:04And to demonstrate the product
14:05I made this giant life-size version of the swarms tube
14:08Fill the tube with water
14:11You won't need this much water
14:12This is just a giant tube
14:14Alright
14:15And now that this is filled with water
14:16Max is gonna give it a little shakeage
14:19Oh
14:20Is it shaken up enough?
14:22I think it's shaken up enough
14:23Then you pour out the water
14:24Do the honors, Joel
14:27And out of the water
14:28Will be revealed which two swarms you got
14:30This is the rarest one
14:31The Hyperchrome
14:32That I only made a thousand of
14:33Joel, you can have it
14:34You can have that one
14:35What does Carl get?
14:36I only have two
14:38And we didn't just stop at the swarms
14:39We also made these action figure panthers
14:41That are in these briefcases
14:42And this mutator
14:43That just like the swarms
14:44Has a really cool reveal when you buy it
14:46Where do I buy them?
14:47I'm glad you asked
14:48Mr. Beast Lab toys are now available
14:50Everywhere in the world you buy toys
14:52They're all out now
14:53Go give them a try
14:54And after more brutal trekking throughout the cave
14:56We finally arrived at the glowworm chamber
14:59Man, this better be worth it
15:01Alrighty, team
15:02Wow
15:04Welcome to the glowworm chamber
15:07Whoa!
15:08Holy crap
15:09That is crazy
15:10Dude, this does not look like it's earth
15:12All of the lights you see here
15:14Are actually created by tiny bioluminescent glowworms
15:17That kind of looks like the Milky Way galaxy
15:19Wow
15:20At this moment
15:21This view
15:22Honestly
15:23Made that trek worth it
15:25While making it to the glowworms
15:26Was definitely worth the trip
15:27Our journey was still not over
15:29Because we had to go all the way back
15:31To base camp
15:33It's almost day 6
15:34They're not back
15:35And I'm exhausted
15:36I don't know if I'll be able to sleep though
15:37I'm just worried
15:38With them being gone so long
15:39The trip back is way easier
15:40Because we're just floating with the current
15:42Now, because you guys have already seen the trip
15:44We're going to expedite the way back
15:45But seriously
15:46This whole journey took so long
15:48We crossed into day 6
15:49Before reaching camp
15:51Sean!
15:52What's up guys?
15:53I was starting to get worried
15:54Happy day 6
15:55Day 6, let's go
15:56All we had energy to do
15:57Was thaw out by the fire
15:59And finally eat some food
16:00That was a very adventurous day
16:02I'll see you guys tomorrow
16:04Or later today
16:05It is day 6
16:06Yeah, maybe today?
16:07I don't know
16:09Despite being physically obliterated
16:11From our excruciatingly long hike
16:13No matter what I did
16:14I was really struggling to fall asleep
16:25I spent 7 days in solitary confinement
16:277 days buried alive
16:287 days on a raft
16:30And I'm going to be honest
16:31I think this is harder than all of those
16:33You're constantly soggy and cold
16:36I just keep hitting my body
16:37On these hard rocks
16:39And it hurts
16:4090% of the time
16:41This cave is miserable
16:42But between me and you
16:43Jimmy!
16:44Yo!
16:45Carl!
16:46Can you see me?
16:47Ah! Ah!
16:48It's the world's brightest flashlight
16:49There are moments of fun in this cave
16:51Woohoo!
16:52From conquering rapids
16:53300 feet underground
16:55Woo!
16:56Me and the boys laughing in our hammocks
16:58Yes!
17:00All the misery is worth it
17:01Because when you're in good company
17:03Let's make whale noises
17:05This wet, cold, rocky, miserable cave
17:08Can easily transform into
17:10The most beautiful trip of our lives
17:21We cannot leave
17:22Until everything is picked up
17:24And when I say everything
17:26I mean everything
17:30Let's get out of here
17:31And after our journey
17:32Back to the mouth of the cave
17:34Oh, it looks so good up there
17:35We had one more surprise for Joel
17:37And before we head out
17:38Joel, as a show of gratitude
17:40We got you 50,000 New Zealand dollars
17:42So it's 10 grand for every human
17:44You didn't let die
17:45Oh gosh, thanks so much, Joel
17:47We love you, Joel!
17:49Now that we got that out the way
17:50Let's leave!
17:51Woo!
17:52After seven long days
17:54We're finally leaving!
