Recently had the privilege to take a friend and his daughter on their first wild caving trip and explore a cave that's been on my list for a while! This cave was huge, full of life, incredible formations, and stunning crystals! Working on the footage now so stay tuned for an epic adventure!

The Caving K9, Doggo El Speleo, Cavin Cally! She'd follow me to the ends of the earth, and well kinda has on this recent adventure with ‪@ActionAdventureTwins‬ 😅. Calypso or Cally for short has actually been in a few caves believe it or not. This one however was definitely the longest wild cave she's explored. We crawled (she walked upright like it was nothing), climbed, and hiked miles through this massive cave full of unique formations and rooms the size of football fields! Check out the full vid now!

These tracks were found deep inside a cave. Like we're talking hundreds of feet into the earth. Climb downs, multiple rappels, and a crazy hike to get to this spot. What do you think they are?

Stay tuned, I've got a pretty neat video coming out soon! I wonder what it could be about? 🤔

Stages of cave squeezin:

1. Excitement (This is gonna be a fun one!)

2. Misery (Why have I voluntarily done this to myself!?)

3. More Misery (How long is this passage?)

4. Joy (We made it through alive!)

5. Repeat (Yeah we just keep doing this.)

Not sure if this was my tightest cave squeeze to date, but it definitely ranks up there! I know a bit of you couldn't watch the whole video due to claustrophobia and whatnot, but don't worry I'll be posting some shorter vids from this trip for those that couldn't make it through the full thing. 😅

I heard there were sand dunes out off Lake Michigan, so I had to check em out while I was up there. This is Warren Dunes State Park in Michigan. It's a really unique ecosystem. Giant sand dunes right next to deciduous forests! Feels like being in two states at once! I'd never hiked sand dunes before. Only did 2 or 3 miles, but it felt like more. Like walking in snow or slow motion 😅. Also tried to sandboard with a skate deck. Didn't work too well. It'd be worth coming back with a skimboard or snowboard!

A bit cold, a bit murky, but an incredible experience! Went scuba diving for my first time on Lake Michigan thanks to ‪@funfinding4two955‬. I've been in caves, up cliffs, down rivers, backpacking, almost every kind of adventure possible on Earth, but never underwater. It's a whole new level of exploring! Can't wait to go again!
