00:00:00
I don't
normally do intros like this,
00:00:01
but I'm currently descending
hundreds of feet into a cave
00:00:04
that runs over
five kilometers deep into the Earth,
00:00:08
and whether we like it or not.
00:00:10
As soon as my friends
and I touch the ground,
00:00:13
we are officially stranded here
for the next seven days.
00:00:18
That might have been the scariest
thing I've ever done.
00:00:21
First things first, we got to
get really far away
00:00:23
- from where we rappelled down.
- Why?
00:00:25
If it storms, this entire area
could flash flood,
00:00:28
fill up like an ocean,
and potentially drown us all.
00:00:31
Which is why we're going deep
into the cave to set up base camp.
00:00:33
Oh, this is just wicked.
00:00:35
Dude, this is like a different world.
00:00:36
This cave entrance may be beautiful,
but looks can be deceiving.
00:00:40
We didn't know it yet,
00:00:41
but the next seven days will by far
be the hardest of our entire lives.
00:00:46
Worst idea ever.
00:00:48
All right. It's going to get
dark in a couple hours.
00:00:50
If we don't have a camp,
we're screwed. Okay?
00:00:52
You don't have any idea
where you're going.
00:00:53
We're just looking for flat ground
to set up camp.
00:00:55
Upon entering the mouth of the cave.
00:00:57
We stumbled upon an area with high
enough elevation to protect us
00:01:00
from any flash flooding, meaning
that it was perfect for camp.
00:01:04
- Perfect is a crazy word.
- Good enough, is what I would use.
00:01:06
Good enough for camp.
00:01:07
We spent the rest of day one
00:01:09
grabbing our supplies
that we were dropped with.
00:01:11
Each one of these bags
weighs like 80 pounds.
00:01:13
And as you can see by the footage,
we spent around four hours.
00:01:16
This is very hard to traverse.
00:01:18
Getting all of it
back up to our base camp.
00:01:20
All right,
we've got some lights on in here.
00:01:23
Our supplies are finally
at our home base.
00:01:25
And if you point the camera over
there, you'll see it's pitch black.
00:01:29
It took all day.
00:01:30
And so we set up the bare minimum
for camping grounds.
00:01:33
We drilled holes
to hang up some ropes.
00:01:34
Grab this.
Pull yourself up.
00:01:36
It looks like the ropes will be able
to support hammocks.
00:01:39
And with the help of our survival
guide, Joel, we hung our hammocks.
00:01:42
This thin rope is what
holds up my hammock?
00:01:44
Yeah.
00:01:45
Ate some dinner and prepared
for a very cold night one.
00:01:48
Not gonna lie,
00:01:48
this hammock is way more comfortable
than I thought it would be.
00:01:51
Hey!
00:01:53
Oh, God.
00:01:54
Why is my head so big, bro?
00:01:56
This cave is 2.5
kilometers deep,
00:01:58
and we're basically camping
at the entrance.
00:02:00
Tomorrow, we have a lot of exploring.
00:02:07
How'd you guys sleep?
00:02:08
- Horribly
- I didn't.
00:02:09
It's a very perplexing environment.
00:02:11
The caves constantly
dripping water on us from above.
00:02:14
So we put a tarp over us.
00:02:15
But even still, the water's
dripping into our hammocks.
00:02:18
I have an idea.
00:02:19
Let's make our shelter
actually good.
00:02:21
I say we connect these tarps
so we stay dry while we're sleeping here.
00:02:24
That's literally genius.
00:02:25
I'm not just a YouTuber, okay?
00:02:26
My hammock gets out right here.
00:02:29
Are we serious right now?
00:02:30
This is where I just got out of bed.
00:02:32
And we didn't realize it at the time,
but this hole is almost 40ft deep.
00:02:35
So while Shawn and I got started
on the super tarp,
00:02:38
Mack and Karl went to see how dangerous
this hole was for themselves.
00:02:41
You see my hammock up there?
That is where I slept.
00:02:43
Now look at this.
00:02:44
And because everything
looks the same,
00:02:46
and it's probably pretty hard
to follow us in this cave.
00:02:48
On this map,
you could see our home base
00:02:50
and how far they're moving
away from it.
00:02:52
- All right, Mack. It's been real, bro.
- Bro, this is crazy.
00:02:54
Well,
the boys are randomly exploring.
00:02:56
Me and Shawn actually
have to work on the camp.
00:03:00
Why is there a sleeping bag over here?
00:03:03
Because it smelled like pee.
00:03:05
Lesson number one,
don't rent your sleeping bags.
00:03:08
Why did we rent sleeping bags?
00:03:10
Why did we not just buy sleeping bags?
00:03:12
We're zip tying the tarps together
to create one mega tarp.
00:03:15
Don't mind me just trusting
this rope with my life.
00:03:19
And meanwhile,
Mack and Karl were still in a hole.
00:03:21
Oh my God, Mack.
00:03:24
And eventually
they finally made it to the bottom.
00:03:28
We're supposed to be working on camp.
00:03:30
We just want to show how dangerous
camp was.
00:03:33
Just don't fall.
It's a skill issue.
00:03:35
Oh, okay.
00:03:36
And even though they should
have been on their way back,
00:03:38
Karl and Mack insisted on seeing
how deep they could go.
00:03:41
Bro, this just looks so crazy.
00:03:42
You think you can
make it through the river?
00:03:47
But little do these two know,
00:03:48
this river actually runs
throughout the entire cave.
00:03:51
Which means we'll be spending
some time in it.
00:03:55
Oh, there they are.
00:03:56
- Tell me you guys cooked.
- We cooked.
00:03:58
That's right.
00:03:59
- A new home, am I right?
- Let's go.
00:04:02
- We now have a roof.
- Look at this.
00:04:04
I'm not going to lie,
you actually kind of cooked.
00:04:05
And we moved the fire pit
to this little cove we found.
00:04:08
What do you think?
00:04:09
- It's warmer.
- It's cozy.
00:04:10
These rocks trap the heat here and
block the pee from the rocks above.
00:04:14
It's not pee.
00:04:15
- What do I call it?
- I don't know, maybe rain or something.
00:04:18
But it's not rain. It's rock.
00:04:19
Hey, point it up, do you see clouds?
00:04:21
No. You see rocks.
It's not rain.
00:04:24
- Rock pee.
- Rock pee.
00:04:26
Rock pee, fine.
00:04:27
All right, it's rock pee.
00:04:28
And after a much drier
night of sleep,
00:04:30
we decided to have Joel,
our survival expert,
00:04:33
help us get all the way
to the end of the cave.
00:04:35
- Cave!
- Cave!
00:04:37
- Cave!
- Cave!
00:04:39
- Cave!
- Cave!
00:04:40
Cave!
00:04:41
Let's see how deep in the cave
we can make it.
00:04:43
Now, keep in mind,
00:04:44
we are still just at the beginning
of this massive cave.
00:04:47
And our goal is to make it all
the way through it,
00:04:50
without dying, of course.
00:04:51
Oh, my gosh,
this is kind of steep.
00:04:53
You ain't seen nothing yet.
00:04:54
We're going deep in the cave.
00:04:56
- All right boys, suck in your guts.
- This is where things get tight.
00:04:59
I don't actually think I'm going to fit.
00:05:00
The interesting part about cave
exploration is one second
00:05:03
you're barely fitting through cracks
in the rock.
00:05:05
Oh, my God, this is so tight.
00:05:06
And then the next, you're
in a massive chamber
00:05:09
so big that in order to see it all,
we had to do this.
00:05:13
Oh my God.
00:05:14
I can actually see now.
00:05:16
This is awesome.
00:05:17
This thing is bright.
00:05:19
Well, look at how cool this is.
00:05:21
Yeah!
00:05:23
- So bright I can't even look at it.
- I'm getting blinded.
00:05:25
Oh, no.
00:05:26
Oh, no.
00:05:27
In hindsight, we probably didn't use
that the most effectively.
00:05:30
Lead the way.
00:05:31
And so we continued on.
00:05:33
Feel free, there's a really
good handle up the top there.
00:05:35
And then you can sort of swing
a foot around onto this one.
00:05:38
Yeah, yeah,
perfect.
00:05:39
Joel, the best caving guide ever.
00:05:42
No one's died yet.
00:05:44
All right, guys, this
is where things get interesting.
00:05:46
What? What is this?
00:05:49
So from this point on, wetsuits.
00:05:51
We're going for a swim.
00:05:52
Yesterday, Mack and Karl
were joking about doing this,
00:05:55
but the rest of this cave adventure
00:05:57
takes place in a freezing river.
00:05:59
Oh my gosh, this is insane.
00:06:01
Meaning wetsuits are the only way
to not get hypothermia.
00:06:04
Why are we doing this?
00:06:05
This is a once
in a lifetime experience.
00:06:07
Because you die after you do it.
00:06:09
So in order
to get to the end of the cave,
00:06:11
we have to hop in this river
and fight the rapids
00:06:13
through this tiny hole in the rocks
00:06:15
and carefully squeeze
our way through.
00:06:17
Take your time.
00:06:18
It will take your feet
behind you a little bit.
00:06:20
All right. I'm getting in the river.
00:06:21
You wanna follow the wall
around to the left.
00:06:24
It’s so cold!
00:06:26
You got it, Jimmy.
00:06:28
I don't know if I fit.
00:06:29
Jimmy, I need you to pull yourself
up out of the water.
00:06:31
Oh my God.
What's crazy about doing this,
00:06:34
Oh, it's so cold.
00:06:35
Is when you're completely submerged
in freezing cold water.
00:06:38
Gripping onto the rocks
becomes incredibly hard.
00:06:41
Oh, my gosh, that was crazy.
00:06:43
Mack, Karl, let's go.
00:06:45
I'm scared, bro.
00:06:46
You got this.
00:06:47
- Bro.
- Keep going.
00:06:49
Look how crazy this is, dude.
00:06:50
And even though this obstacle was
difficult, it's nothing compared
00:06:53
to what's up ahead.
00:06:54
We did it!
00:06:56
- Cave, cave, cave.
- Cave, cave.
00:06:57
Hey, boys,
we're now 10% done.
00:07:00
Which means we've only scratched
the surface of this expedition.
00:07:03
And we still have over two kilometers
remaining to reach the end.
00:07:06
As you can see, it
rains in this cave 24/7.
00:07:09
So I'm making a chill spot
for us to hang out and not get wet.
00:07:13
I wonder what I would look like
if I wasn't here to build all this.
00:07:15
Pretty sure they'd just be sleeping
in a pile on a wet rock.
00:07:19
It's important that we keep moving
00:07:21
now that the bodies are wet.
00:07:22
Temperatures are going to drop quickly.
00:07:24
Why is this so difficult?
00:07:29
The worst part is, every inch
we go this way is an inch.
00:07:33
we got to go
that way to get back to camp.
00:07:35
Our next obstacle
may be out of the water,
00:07:37
but that doesn't make it
any easier to get through.
00:07:39
Is that a spiderweb?
00:07:41
Spider? I don't see the spider.
00:07:42
That means it's probably on us.
00:07:43
It's on you. It's on you.
00:07:44
I hate my friends.
00:07:45
This cave is like a MrBeast video.
00:07:48
The further you go, the harder
it gets.
00:07:50
Just straight up.
00:07:51
If we didn't have Joel, I'd be dead.
00:07:53
And after three hours,
Joel had some bad news for us.
00:07:56
The water is too high,
and we've taken too long.
00:07:59
We're gonna have to turn around
for today and head back to camp.
00:08:01
I disagree.
00:08:02
You can't disagree
with the safety expert.
00:08:05
I disagree.
00:08:06
Well,
we can't really disagree.
00:08:07
It turns out we wasted
way too much time
00:08:09
filming and playing with flares,
00:08:11
to the point
where we now had to restart
00:08:13
and attempt
this mission another day.
00:08:17
Shawn, we're back.
00:08:19
What'd you do while we were gone?
00:08:21
Hopefully nobody gets wet now.
00:08:22
- I didn't even know we packed lights.
- Yeah, they're awesome, right?
00:08:25
Sadly, we only made it 20%
through the cave today.
00:08:27
But mark my words, we will go
the distance in a future day.
00:08:31
- I doubt it.
- That's not going to happen.
00:08:33
We might rest on day four
and then on day five,
00:08:36
try to go all the way to the end
of the cave and see what's there.
00:08:39
Day three was a lot of fun.
00:08:40
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
00:08:44
And after a third
miserable night in the cave
00:08:47
the next morning,
we only had one thing in mind.
00:08:49
A hot shower would
literally save my life right now.
00:08:53
Oh, showering would be awesome.
00:08:55
I haven't showered in three,
four days.
00:08:57
As you can imagine, showering inside
a cave isn't easy.
00:09:00
We had to hike all the way back
to where we rappelled in
00:09:03
to safely reach the riverbed.
00:09:04
Oh, no.
Oh my God.
00:09:06
I feel my brain.
00:09:07
I've never felt my brain like this.
00:09:09
My forehead is frostbite.
00:09:10
Let's use the drone to dry our heads
off.
00:09:12
- Come here, drone.
- Stop, stop!
00:09:14
It's actually working.
Yeah, it is working.
00:09:16
Who needs a hairdryer
when you have a drone?
00:09:18
And after we dried off, we sat down
with Joel to plan our journey.
00:09:21
- What is this, Joel?
- This is the map of the cave.
00:09:23
Last time we had to stop
because of the fast moving water.
00:09:26
But the rains have been slowing,
00:09:27
so we might just get a window
to reach the end by tomorrow.
00:09:30
This is going to be wild.
00:09:32
First, we'll need to pass some of
those same rapids from yesterday.
00:09:35
Dive off massive
cliffs and avoid jagged rocks.
00:09:38
And if we can make it past all that,
00:09:40
we will finally make it
to the beautiful glowworm chamber.
00:09:43
Don't tell us what that looks like.
00:09:45
- I want us to be surprised.
- Do you think we're going to make it?
00:09:49
No, let's not play that game.
We're all going to make it.
00:09:51
With tomorrow's plan
thoroughly mapped out,
00:09:53
we've rested up and made Feastables
s'mores to regain our energy.
00:09:56
Everyone cheers!
00:09:58
Joel's about to have
his first Feastables s'more.
00:10:00
All right, Joel, be honest.
00:10:02
That's good.
00:10:02
- Joel approves?
- Joel approves.
00:10:04
Why didn't we whip this
chocolate out earlier?
00:10:06
This just got, like,
ten times more fun.
00:10:07
Guys, for real,
00:10:08
if you've never tried s'mores
with Feastables,
00:10:10
you're really missing out.
00:10:11
Tomorrow we're going to explore
the entire cave.
00:10:14
We'll see you guys then.
00:10:15
So we tried to sleep
as much as we could
00:10:16
and prepare for tomorrow's journey
to the end of the cave.
00:10:19
We're about to embark on one of the
most dangerous journeys of my life.
00:10:22
Because of our experience from day
three and focusing less on filming,
00:10:25
we were able to make progress way
faster.
00:10:28
Ooh, this water's cold.
00:10:30
Just like the other day, bro.
00:10:32
Nice bro, easy.
00:10:33
And to ensure our best chance
of survival.
00:10:35
In addition to Joel, we brought
another survival expert with us.
00:10:38
This is where we had to stop on day
three. How are we doing?
00:10:41
We're making much better time!
00:10:42
Behind us, it's pitch black.
Where do we go?
00:10:44
This area gets narrower,
the currents strong.
00:10:48
So we're going to use the walls
and gonna climb our way along.
00:10:51
So here we go.
00:10:53
Oh, God. Yeah.
00:10:53
Jump to that first rock,
00:10:55
There's a couple of good
rocks around the corner
00:10:57
as well you can get a hand onto.
00:10:58
- It's so dark down here.
- There's no bottom right now.
00:11:00
My feet aren't touching
the ground right now.
00:11:03
Because we couldn't
reach the ground.
00:11:05
This meant that if we let go now,
we could get swept away
00:11:08
by the strong current
directly beneath us.
00:11:10
Joel, what are we doing?
00:11:11
I would go into here if you can.
00:11:12
That's a good one.
00:11:13
I can't even see where I'm going, Joel.
00:11:15
The current is taking me away.
00:11:17
How do I do this?
00:11:18
You've got to get yourself in there
and it's going to get way gentler.
00:11:21
- I go in here?
- Yeah, in the hole.
00:11:24
Yeah! Well done.
00:11:26
This might be the most
insane thing we've ever done.
00:11:28
We are much deeper in the cave
than we've ever been.
00:11:31
And we're now approaching
our first serious obstacle.
00:11:34
Basically, the water's
recirculating, so if you fall in,
00:11:37
it takes you to the bottom
and it keeps you there.
00:11:40
If we fall, we would die.
00:11:41
- Yeah.
- Okay, so death is on the table?
00:11:43
This is just not what I thought
I was signing up for.
00:11:48
Well done.
00:11:49
Yeah! Over!
00:11:50
- So now I put my foot here?
- Yeah! Correct.
00:11:53
- Oh, yeah.
- Woo!
00:11:55
Caving is a lot harder than I thought.
00:11:57
You can tell how strong this river is
because it created this entire cave.
00:12:00
And fun fact,
we're not as strong as a cave.
00:12:03
I'm barely as strong as a human.
00:12:05
Well, fortunately for us,
rather than Karl leading
00:12:07
this expedition,
we've got the literal avenger, Joel.
00:12:11
And just to prove
how much of an expert he is,
00:12:13
this man literally
flexed on us by jumping off a cliff.
00:12:18
Oh my god.
00:12:20
You're crazy.
00:12:21
Who else is a bit crazy?
00:12:23
Surely one of you guys are keen.
00:12:24
I'm crazy.
00:12:25
No shot, you want to do that.
00:12:27
What are you talking about?
00:12:28
I'm doing it right
now, baby. Let's go, Joel.
00:12:30
Godspeed, Mack.
00:12:31
After everything Jimmy's put me through,
00:12:33
this ain't that scary for me.
00:12:35
Three. Two. One.
00:12:42
Are you doing it?
00:12:42
No. We've got to keep going
or we won't hit the end.
00:12:46
Oh my God.
00:12:49
We go downstream?
00:12:51
Why are we always fighting
the current?
00:12:52
I might just start drifting away.
I might just give it up.
00:12:55
There are sharp rocks underneath the water.
00:12:57
You cannot see them.
00:12:58
So watch your step.
00:12:59
- Oh my God.
- It's getting deep again.
00:13:02
I can't, I need to put my feet on
something.
00:13:03
And if the sharp rocks
weren't enough of a challenge.
00:13:06
It seems
like with every step we took.
00:13:09
Bro! I can't see anything.
00:13:10
This is terrifying.
00:13:11
The caves became darker, tighter
00:13:14
and ruthless enough
that we began to question
00:13:16
if we could even get
to the finish line.
00:13:20
This is exhausting.
00:13:22
This cave is about to get a lot harder.
00:13:24
And I have something I need to show
all of you.
00:13:26
Joel, can I see your bag?
00:13:28
Thank you.
00:13:28
You know what you've been carrying?
00:13:30
What have I been carrying?
00:13:31
The brand new...
00:13:32
MrBeast Lab Swarms.
00:13:34
I'll be honest, guys.
00:13:35
As you can see, because of what I've
been going through for the past five hours,
00:13:38
I'm clearly in no shape
to tell you about this right now.
00:13:41
And so, a month
after we filmed this,
00:13:42
I built an entire cave set
threw on my Future Jimmy name tag,
00:13:46
and then said: hey, Future Jimmy
here, and I'm going to tell you
00:13:48
about my brand new toy line
up, MrBeast Lab Swarms.
00:13:51
It's a collectible
toy line with over 119
00:13:54
uniquely designed characters
that you can collect.
00:13:56
And the coolest part is to find out
which character you got.
00:13:59
You pour water into this tube,
shake it up,
00:14:02
and the swarms will appear
in front of your very eyes.
00:14:04
And to demonstrate the product,
I made this giant life sized version
00:14:08
of the swarms tube,
fill the tube with water.
00:14:12
You won't need this much water.
00:14:13
This is just a giant tube.
All right.
00:14:15
And now that this is filled
with water,
00:14:17
Mack's going to give it a little shake.
00:14:21
Is it shaken up enough?
00:14:22
I think it's shake it up enough.
00:14:23
Then you pour out the water.
Do the honors, Joel.
00:14:28
And out of the water
will be revealed.
00:14:30
which two swarms you got.
00:14:31
This is the rarest one,
the hyperchrome.
00:14:33
That I only made a thousand of.
00:14:34
Joel, you can have it.
00:14:35
- You can have that one.
- Who does Karl get?
00:14:38
I only have two.
00:14:40
If we didn't
just stop with the swarms.
00:14:41
We also made
these action figure panthers
00:14:43
that are in these briefcases
and this mutator that, just like
00:14:45
the swarms, has a really cool reveal
when you buy it.
00:14:47
Where do I buy them?
00:14:48
I'm glad you asked,
00:14:49
MrBeast's Labs Toys are now available
everywhere in the world you buy toys.
00:14:53
They're all out now.
Go give them a try.
00:14:55
And after more brutal trekking
throughout the cave,
00:14:57
we finally arrived at the glowworm
chamber.
00:15:01
Man, this better be worth it.
00:15:02
All righty team.
00:15:04
Welcome to the glowworm chamber.
00:15:08
Holy crap!
00:15:09
That is crazy.
00:15:10
Dude,
this does not look like it's Earth.
00:15:12
All of the lights you see here
00:15:14
are actually created
by tiny bioluminescent glowworms.
00:15:17
That kind of looks like
the Milky Way galaxy.
00:15:20
At this moment, this view
honestly made that trek worth it.
00:15:25
While making it to the glowworms
was definitely worth the trip,
00:15:28
our journey was still not over
00:15:29
because we had to go
all the way back to base camp.
00:15:33
It's almost day six.
00:15:34
They're not back and I'm exhausted.
00:15:36
I don't know
if I'll be able to sleep though,
00:15:38
just worried with them being gone
so long.
00:15:39
The trip back is way easier
00:15:41
because we're just floating
with the current.
00:15:43
Now, because you guys
have already seen the trip,
00:15:44
we're going
to expedite the way back.
00:15:46
But seriously,
this whole journey took so long.
00:15:48
We crossed into day six
before reaching camp.
00:15:51
Shawn.
00:15:53
What's up guys?
00:15:54
I was starting to get worried.
00:15:55
Happy day six
00:15:56
Day six. Let's go.
00:15:57
All we had energy to do
was thaw out by the fire
00:15:59
and finally eat some food.
00:16:01
That was a very adventurous day.
00:16:03
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
00:16:05
Or later today,
it is day six.
00:16:07
Yeah, maybe today,
I don't know.
00:16:10
Despite being
00:16:11
physically obliterated
from our excruciatingly long hike,
00:16:14
no matter what I did, I was
really struggling to fall asleep.
00:16:26
I spent seven days in solitary confinement,
00:16:28
seven days buried alive,
seven days on a raft.
00:16:30
And I'm going to be honest, I think
this is harder than all of those.
00:16:33
You're constantly soggy and cold.
00:16:36
I just keep hitting my body
on these hard of rocks and it hurts.
00:16:40
90% of the time
this cave is miserable.
00:16:42
But between me and you...
00:16:44
- Jimmy!
- Yo!
00:16:46
Karl, can you see me?
00:16:49
That's the world's
brightest flashlight.
00:16:50
There are moments of fun
in this cave.
00:16:53
From conquering rapids
300ft underground.
00:16:57
With me and the boys
laughing in our hammocks.
00:17:00
All the misery is worth it.
00:17:01
Because when you're in good company.
00:17:03
Let's make whale noises.
00:17:05
This wet, cold, rocky,
miserable cave
00:17:08
can easily transform into the most
beautiful trip of our lives.
00:17:21
We cannot
leave until everything is picked up.
00:17:24
And when I say everything,
I mean everything.
00:17:31
Let's get out of here.
00:17:32
And after our journey
back to the mouth of the cave.
00:17:34
Oh, it looks so good up there.
00:17:36
We had one more surprise for Joel.
00:17:38
Before we head out, Joel,
as a show of gratitude.
00:17:41
We got you 50,000 New Zealand dollars.
00:17:43
So it's ten grand for every human
you didn't let die.
00:17:46
Oh, gosh.
00:17:46
Thanks so much, Jim.
00:17:48
Let's go. Joel!
00:17:48
We love you, Joel.
00:17:49
Now that we got that out the way,
let's leave.
00:17:53
After seven
long days, we're finally leaving.
