00:00I don't normally do intros like this but I'm currently descending hundreds of
00:04feet into a cave that runs over five kilometers deep into the earth and
00:09whether we like it or not as soon as my friends and I touch the ground we are
00:14officially stranded here for the next seven days. That might have been the scariest thing I've ever done.
00:21First things first we gotta get really far away from where we rappelled down. Why?
00:25If it storms, this entire area could flash flood, fill up like an ocean, and potentially drown us all.
00:31Which is why we're going deep into the cave to set up base camp.
00:34Bro, this is just wicked.
00:35Dude, this is like a different world.
00:37This 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.
00:49Alright, it'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?
00:54I'm just looking for flat ground to set up camp.
00:56Upon entering the mouth of the cave, we stumbled upon an area with high enough elevation to protect us from any flash flooding.
01:02Meaning that it was perfect for camp.
01:04Perfect is a crazy word.
01:06Good enough is what I would use.
01:07Good enough for camp.
01:08We spent the rest of day one grabbing our supplies that we were dropped with.
01:11Each one of these bags weighs like 80 pounds.
01:13And as you can see by the footage, we spent around four hours.
01:17This is very hard to traverse.
01:19Getting all of it back up to our base camp.
01:21Alright, we've got some lights on in here. Our supplies are finally at our home base.
01:26And if you point the camera over there, you'll see it's pitch black.
01:29It took all day.
01:30And so, we set up the bare minimum for camping grounds.
01:33We drilled holes to hang up some ropes.
01:35Grab these, pull yourself up.
01:37Looks like the ropes will be able to support hammocks.
01:39And with the help of our survival guide, Joel, we hung our hammocks.
01:42This thin rope is what holds up my hammock.
01:44Yep.
01:45Ate 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.
01:52Hey.
01:53Oh god.
01:54Why is my head so big, bro?
01:57This part of the cave is two and a half kilometers deep.
01:59And we're basically camping at the entrance.
02:01Tomorrow, we have a lot of exploring.
02:07How'd you guys sleep?
02:09Horribly.
02:09I didn't.
02:10It's a very perplexing environment.
02:12The cave's constantly dripping water on us from above.
02:14So we put a tarp over us.
02:16But even still, the water's dripping into our hammocks.
02:18I 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.
02:24That's literally genius.
02:25I'm not just a YouTuber, okay?
02:27My hammock gets out right here.
02:30Are we serious right now?
02:31This is where I just got out of bed.
02:32And we didn't realize it at the time, but this hole is almost 40 feet deep.
02:36So while Sean and I got started on the super tarp,
02:38Mac and Carl went to see how dangerous this hole was for themselves.
02:42Do you see my hammock up there?
02:43That is where I slept.
02:44Now look at this.
02:45Because everything looks the same,
02:46and it's probably pretty hard to follow us in this cave,
02:49on this map, you can see our home base and how far they're moving away from it.
02:52All right, Mac, it's been real rough.
02:54Oh, bro, this is crazy.
02:55While the boys are randomly exploring,
02:57me and Sean actually have to work on the camp.
03:01Why is there a sleeping bag over here?
03:03Uh, because it smelled like pee.
03:06Ew.
03:06Lesson number one, don't rent your sleeping bags.
03:08Why did we rent sleeping bags?
03:10Why did we not just buy sleeping bags?
03:12We're zip-tying the tarps together to create one mega tarp.
03:15Don't mind me, just trusting this rope with my life.
03:19And meanwhile, Mac and Carl were still in a hole.
03:22Oh, my God.
03:25And eventually, they finally made it to the bottom.
03:27Hey!
03:28We're supposed to be working on camp.
03:31We just wanted to show how dangerous camp was.
03:33Just don't fall. It's a skill issue.
03:35Oh, okay.
03:36And even though they should have been on their way back,
03:38Carl and Mac insisted on seeing how deep they could go.
03:41Bro, this just looks so crazy.
03:43You think you can make it through the river?
03:48Little do these two know,
03:49this river actually runs throughout the entire cave,
03:52which means we'll be spending some time in it.
03:55Oh, there they are.
03:56Hi.
03:57Tell me you guys cooked.
03:58Oh, we cooked.
03:59That's right.
04:00A new home, am I right?
04:02Let's go.
04:02We now have a roof.
04:03Look at this.
04:04I'm not gonna lie, it's actually kind of gross.
04:05And we moved the fire pit to this little cove we found.
04:08What do you think?
04:09It's warmer.
04:10Cozy.
04:11These rocks trap the heat here
04:12and block the pee from the rocks above.
04:14It's not pee.
04:15What do I call it?
04:16I don't know, maybe rain or something?
04:18It's not rain, it's rock.
04:19Maybe.
04:20Wait, point it up.
04:21Do you see clouds?
04:22No, you see rocks.
04:23It's not rain.
04:24Rock pee.
04:25Rock pee.
04:26Rock pee, fine.
04:27All right, it's rock pee.
04:28And after a much drier night of sleep,
04:30we decided to have Joel, our survival expert,
04:33help us get all the way to the end of the cave.
04:35Cave!
04:36Cave!
04:37Cave!
04:38Cave!
04:39Cave!
04:40Cave!
04:41Yeah!
04:42Let's see how deep in the cave we can make it.
04:44Now, keep in mind, we are still just at the beginning
04:46of this massive cave.
04:48And our goal is to make it all the way through it
04:50without dying, of course.
04:52Oh my gosh, this is kind of steep.
04:53Bro, you ain't seen nothing yet.
04:55We're going deep in the cave.
04:56All right, boys, suck in your guts.
04:58Before things get tight.
04:59I don't actually think I'm gonna fit.
05:01The interesting part about cave exploration
05:03is one second, you're barely fitting
05:05through cracks in the rocks.
05:06Oh my god, this is so tight.
05:07And then the next, you're in a massive chamber,
05:09so big that in order to see it all,
05:11we had to do this.
05:12Woo!
05:13Oh my god!
05:14I can actually see now.
05:16This is awesome.
05:17This thing is bright.
05:18Woo!
05:19Bro, look at how cool this is.
05:21Yeah!
05:23It's so bright, I can't even look at it.
05:24I feel like I'm getting blinded.
05:25Oh no!
05:26Oh no!
05:27In hindsight, we probably didn't use that
05:29the most effectively.
05:30Lead the way.
05:31And so we continued on.
05:33Joel's brain is a really good handle at the top there.
05:35Right there.
05:36Right there, you can sort of swing a foot around
05:37onto this one.
05:38Like this?
05:39Yeah, yep, perfect.
05:40Joel, the best caving guide ever.
05:42No one's died yet.
05:44Alright guys, this is where things get interesting.
05:47What?
05:48What is this?
05:49So from this point on, wetsuits,
05:51we're going for a swim.
05:53Yesterday, Mac and Carl were joking about doing this,
05:56but the rest of this cave adventure
05:57takes place in a freezing river.
05:59Oh my god, this is insane!
06:01Meaning wetsuits are the only way
06:03to not get hypothermia.
06:04Why are we doing this?
06:05This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
06:07Because 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
06:12and fight the rapids through this tiny hole in the rock
06:15and carefully squeeze our way through it.
06:17Take your time,
06:18it will take your feet behind you a little bit.
06:20Alright, I'm getting in the river.
06:22You want to follow the wall around.
06:24It's so cold!
06:26You got it, Jimmy!
06:28I don't know if I fit!
06:29Jimmy, I need you to pull yourself up out of the water.
06:32Oh my god!
06:33What's crazy about doing this
06:34Oh, it's so cold!
06:35is when you're completely submerged
06:37in freezing cold water,
06:38gripping onto the rocks becomes incredibly hard.
06:41Oh my gosh, that was crazy!
06:43Matt, Carl, let's go!
06:45I'm scared!
06:46You got this!
06:47Woohoo!
06:48Keep going!
06:49Look how crazy this is, dude!
06:50And even though this obstacle was difficult,
06:52it's nothing compared to what's up ahead.
06:54We did it!
06:55Yes! Yes! Yes!
06:57Hey, Floyd!
06:58We're now 10% done!
07:00Which means we've only scratched the surface of this expedition
07:03and we still have over two kilometers remaining
07:05to 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
07:11and not get wet.
07:13I wonder what it would look like
07:14if I wasn't here to build all this.
07:15Pretty sure they'd just be sleeping in a pile on a wet rock.
07:19How long do we keep moving now that the bodies are wet?
07:22You got it!
07:23Temperatures are going to drop quickly.
07:24Why is this so difficult?
07:29The worst part is,
07:30every inch we go this way
07:32is an inch we gotta go that way to get back to camp.
07:35Our next obstacle may be out of the water,
07:37but that doesn't make it any easier to get through.
07:39Oh, is that a spider web?
07:41Why not? It's not a spider.
07:42That means it's probably on us.
07:43Oh, it's on you! It's on you!
07:44I hate my friends.
07:45This cave is like a Mr. Beast video.
07:48The further you go, the harder it gets.
07:50Just straight up, if we didn't have Joel,
07:52I'd be dead.
07:53And after three hours,
07:55Joel had some bad news for us.
07:56The water's too high and we've taken too long.
07:59We're going to have to turn around for today
08:00and 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
08:10and 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!
08:19What'd you do while we were gone?
08:20Hopefully nobody gets wet now.
08:22I didn't even know we packed lights.
08:23Yeah, they're awesome, right?
08:24Sadly, we only made it 20% through the cave today.
08:27But mark my words,
08:28we will go the distance in a future day.
08:31I doubt it.
08:32That's not gonna happen.
08:33We might rest on day four,
08:34and then on day five,
08:35try to go all the way to the end of the cave
08:38and see what's there.
08:39Day three was a lot of fun.
08:40I'll see you guys tomorrow.
08:44And after a third miserable night in the cave,
08:47the next morning, we only had one thing in mind.
08:49A hot shower would literally save my life right now.
08:53Oh, showering would be awesome.
08:55I haven't showered in three, four days!
08:57As you can imagine,
08:58showering inside a cave isn't easy.
09:00We had to hike all the way back
09:01to where we rappelled in to safely reach the riverbed.
09:04It's so cold!
09:05Oh, my God!
09:06I feel my brain.
09:07I've never felt my brain like this.
09:09My forehead is frostbite!
09:10Let's use the drone to dry our heads off.
09:12Come here, drone!
09:13Stop, stop!
09:14It's actually working.
09:15Yeah, it is working.
09:16Who needs a hairdryer when you have a drone?
09:18And after we dried off,
09:19we sat down with Joel to plan our journey.
09:21What is this, Joel?
09:22This is the map of the cave.
09:23Last time, we had to stop
09:24because of the fast-moving water
09:26but the rains have been slowing
09:27so we might just get a window
09:29to reach the end by tomorrow.
09:30Dude, this is going to be wild!
09:32First, we'll need to pass
09:33some of those same rapids from yesterday,
09:35dive off massive cliffs,
09:37and avoid jagged rocks.
09:38And if we can make it past all that,
09:40we will finally make it
09:41to the beautiful glowworm chamber.
09:43Don't tell us what that looks like.
09:45I want us to be surprised.
09:46Do you think we're going to make it?
09:47Whoa!
09:48Nah, let's not play that game.
09:50We're all going to make it.
09:51With tomorrow's plan thoroughly mapped out,
09:53we rested up and made feastable s'mores
09:55to regain our energy.
09:56Everyone, cheers!
09:57Yippee!
09:58Oh, Joel's about to have his first feastable s'more.
10:00All right, Joel, be honest.
10:02Joel approves?
10:03Joel approves.
10:04Why didn't we whip this chocolate out earlier?
10:06This just got like 10 times more fun.
10:07Guys, for real,
10:08if you've never tried s'mores with feastables,
10:10you're really missing out.
10:11Tomorrow, we're going to explore the entire cave.
10:14We'll see you guys then.
10:15So we tried to sleep as much as we could
10:16and prepare for tomorrow's journey
10:18to the end of the cave.
10:19We're about to embark
10:20on one of the most dangerous journeys of my life.
10:22Because of our experience from day three
10:24and focusing less on filming,
10:25we were able to make progress way faster.
10:28This water's cold.
10:30Just like the other day, bro.
10:32Nice and easy.
10:33And to ensure our best chance of survival,
10:35in addition to Joel,
10:36we brought another survival expert with us.
10:38This is where we had to stop on day three.
10:40How we doing?
10:41We're making much better time.
10:42Behind us, it's pitch black.
10:44Where do we go?
10:45This area gets narrow.
10:46The current's strong.
10:47So we're going to use the walls
10:49and kind of climb our way along.
10:51Yep, through we go.
10:53Oh, God.
10:54Jump for that first rock.
10:55There's a couple of good rocks around the corner
10:57is all you can get a hand onto.
10:58It's so dark down here.
11:00There's no bottom right now.
11:01My feet aren't touching the ground right now.
11:03Because we couldn't reach the ground,
11:05this meant that if we let go now,
11:07we could get swept away
11:08by the strong current directly beneath us.
11:10Joel, what are we doing?
11:11I would go into here if you can.
11:13That's a good one.
11:14I can't even see where I'm going.
11:15The current is taking me away.
11:17You got it, you got it.
11:18Get yourself in the air.
11:19That's going to get way easier for us.
11:21I go in here?
11:22Yep.
11:25Yeah, 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.
11:34Basically, the water's recirculating.
11:36So if you fall in,
11:37it takes you to the bottom,
11:38and it keeps you there.
11:40If we fall, we would die.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Okay, so death is on the table.
11:43This is just not what I thought I was signing up for.
11:49Yeah, perfect.
11:51Yep, perfect.
11:54Woo!
11:55Caving is a lot harder than I thought.
11:57You can tell how strong this river is
11:58because it created this entire cave.
12:00And fun fact, we're not as strong as a cave.
12:03I'm barely as strong as a human.
12:05Well, fortunately for us,
12:06rather than Carl leading this expedition,
12:08we've got the literal Avenger, Joel.
12:10And just to prove how much of an expert he is,
12:13this man literally flexed on us
12:15by jumping off a cliff.
12:18Oh, my God.
12:20You're crazy!
12:21Who else is a bit crazy?
12:23Surely one of you guys are keen.
12:24I'm crazy!
12:25No shot you want to do that.
12:27What are you talking about?
12:28I'm doing it right now, baby!
12:29Let's go, Joel!
12:30Godspeed, man!
12:31After everything Jimmy's put me through.
12:33This ain't that scary for me.
12:35Three, two, one.
12:37Woo-hoo!
12:41Oh, yeah!
12:42You doing it?
12:43No, we got to keep going,
12:44or we will hit the end.
12:46Oh, 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.
12:57You cannot see them,
12:58so watch your step.
12:59Oh, my God.
13:00It's getting deep again.
13:01I can't.
13:02I 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...
13:08Oh, bro!
13:09I can't see anything.
13:10This is terrifying.
13:11...the caves became darker,
13:12tighter,
13:14and ruthless enough
13:15that we began to question
13:16if we could even get to the finish line.
13:18Oh, God.
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.
13:26Joel, can I see your bag?
13:28You know what you've been carrying?
13:30What have I been carrying?
13:31The brand-new Mr. Beast Lab Swarms.
13:34I'll be honest, guys.
13:35As you can see,
13:36because of what I've been going through
13:37for the past five hours,
13:38I'm clearly in no shape
13:39to tell you about this right now.
13:41And so a month after we filmed this,
13:42I built an entire cave set,
13:44threw on my Future Jimmy name tag,
13:46and then said,
13:47Hey, Future Jimmy here,
13:48and I'm gonna tell you about my brand-new toy line
13:49of Mr. Beast Lab Swarms.
13:51It'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,
13:59you pour water into this tube,
14:01shake it up,
14:02and the swarms will appear
14:03in front of your very eyes.
14:04And to demonstrate the product,
14:05I made this giant life-size version
14:07of the swarms tube.
14:08Fill the tube with water...
14:12You won't need this much water.
14:13This is just a giant tube.
14:15All right.
14:16And now that this is filled with water,
14:17Max is gonna give it a little shakage.
14:21Is it shaken up enough?
14:22I think it's shaken up enough.
14:24Then you pour out the water,
14:25do the honors, Joel.
14:28And out of the water
14:29will be revealed which two swarms you got.
14:31This is the rarest one,
14:32the Hyperchrome,
14:33that I only made 1,000 of.
14:34Joel, you can have it.
14:35You can have that one.
14:37Who does Carl get?
14:38I only have two.
14:40And we didn't just stop with the swarms.
14:41We also made these action figure panthers
14:43that are in these briefcases
14:44and this mutator that,
14:45just like the swarms,
14:46has a really cool reveal when you buy it.
14:48Where do I buy them?
14:49I'm glad you asked.
14:50Mr. Beast Lab toys are now available
14:51everywhere in the world you buy toys.
14:53They're all out now.
14:54Go give them a try.
14:55And after more brutal trekking
14:57throughout the cave,
14:58we finally arrived
14:59at the Glow Worm Chamber.
15:01Man, this better be worth it.
15:02All righty, team.
15:04Welcome to the Glow Worm 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
15:15tiny bioluminescent glow worms.
15:17That kind of looks like
15:18the 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 glow worms
15:26was definitely worth the trip,
15:27our journey was still not over
15:29because we had to go
15:30all the way back to base camp.
15:33It's almost day six.
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
15:41with the current.
15:42Now, because you guys
15:43have already seen the trip,
15:44we're going to expedite
15:45the way back.
15:46But seriously,
15:47this whole journey took so long,
15:48we crossed into day six
15:50before reaching camp.
15:51Sean!
15:52Sean!
15:53What's up, guys?
15:54I was starting to get worried.
15:55Happy day six.
15:56Day six, let's go.
15:57All we had energy to do
15:58was stall out by the fire
15:59and finally eat some food.
16:01That was a very adventurous day.
16:03I'll see you guys tomorrow
16:05or later today.
16:06It is day six.
16:07Yeah, maybe today.
16:08I don't know.
16:10Despite being physically obliterated
16:12from our excruciatingly long hike,
16:14no matter what I did,
16:15I was really struggling
16:16to fall asleep.
16:26I spent seven days
16:27in solitary confinement,
16:28seven days buried alive,
16:29seven days on a raft.
16:31And I'm going to be honest,
16:32I think this is harder
16:33than all of those.
16:34You're constantly soggy and cold.
16:37I just keep hitting my body
16:38on 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!
16:45Yo!
16:46Carl!
16:47Can you see me?
16:48Ah! Ah!
16:49It's the world's brightest flashlight.
16:50There are moments of fun
16:51in this cave.
16:52Woo-hoo!
16:53From conquering rapids
16:54300 feet underground...
16:56Woo!
16:57...to me and the boys
16:58laughing in our hammocks...
16:59Ha-ha-ha!
17:00...all the misery is worth it.
17:01Because when you're
17:02in good company...
17:03Let's make whale noises.
17:05...this wet, cold, rocky,
17:07miserable cave
17:08can easily transform into...
17:10The most beautiful trip
17:11of our lives.
17:21We cannot leave
17:22until everything is picked up.
17:24And when I say everything,
17:26I mean everything.
17:31Let's get out of here.
17:32And after our journey
17:33back to the mouth of the cave...
17:34Oh, it looks so good up there.
17:36...we had one more surprise
17:37for Joel.
17:38And before we head out,
17:39Joel, as a show of gratitude,
17:41we got you 50,000 New Zealand dollars.
17:43So it's 10 grand
17:44for every human
17:45you didn't let die.
17:46Oh, gosh.
17:47Thanks so much, Joe.
17:48We love you, Joel!
17:49And now that we got that
17:50out the way, let's leave.
17:51Woo!
17:53After seven long days,
17:55we're finally leaving!
