00:00I don't normally do intros like this, but I'm currently descending hundreds of feet into a cave that runs over 5 kilometers deep into the earth.
00:09And whether we like it or not, as soon as my friends and I touch the ground, we are officially stranded here for the next 7 days.
00:19That 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.
00:24Why?
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 7 days will by far be the hardest of our entire lives.
00:49Alright, it's gonna get dark in a couple of 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.
00:55Upon 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.
01:05Good enough is what I would use.
01:07Good enough for camp.
01:08We spent the rest of day 1 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 4 hours.
01:16This is very hard to traverse.
01:18Getting all of it back up to our base camp.
01:21Alright, 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, 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.
01:44Yeah.
01:45Ate some dinner and prepared for a very cold night 1.
01:48Not gonna lie, this hammock is way more comfortable than I thought it would be.
01:51Hey.
01:53Oh, God.
01:54Why is my head so big, bro?
01:56This part of the cave is 2.5 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?
02:08Horribly.
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 here.
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 Shawn 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.
02:45It's all red because everything looks the same.
02:47And 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.
02:53All right, Mac. It's been real rough.
02:54Oh, bro, this is crazy.
02:56While the boys are randomly exploring, me and Shawn actually have to work on the camp.
03:01Why is there a sleeping bag over here?
03:04Uh, because it smelled like pee.
03:06Ew!
03:07Lesson number one, don't rent your sleeping bags.
03:09Why did we rent sleeping bags?
03:11Why did we not just buy sleeping bags?
03:13इन लिए ख़ुशता भी है
03:15हमने इस थार्प सो काशिंग रही है
03:17बेलतरंड से चीज़ हो गाए
03:19जो जीवन पर बोलना था
03:21जिस स्पाफ़े की जिक्षा के बाद
03:23आमिश्किल बाद पहले बूढगा
03:25ने काम जीना होगा
03:27ये परचना के लिए पैट की।
03:29हम मैला पार ज़िना होगी
03:31कहाँ था क्या बड़ाया देखना लगा रही थी।
03:33जब नहीं ज़िला था, कहाँ तो छंड़ा एक एक डिकार था।
03:35और एक ज़िला था भी कि वे व्तर के लिए था,
03:37And they should have been on their way back.
03:38Colin 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?
03:48But little do these two know,
03:49this river actually runs throughout the entire cape.
03:52Which means we'll be spending some time in it.
03:55Oh, there they are.
03:56Oh, my God.
03:57Tell me you guys cooked.
03:58Oh, we cooked.
03:59That's right.
04:00A new home, am I right?
04:01Let's go.
04:02We now have a roof.
04:03Look at this.
04:04I'm not gonna lie, I'm actually kinda crushed.
04:05And we moved the fire pit
04:06प्र्क्रियम मुझे बक्षा हो गए।
04:08क्यों आप दोईंगे?
04:09अब यावजाद है।
04:10वो अपने भी वीडियों बग़ने हैं
04:12और विशेव पी पर लागिए हैं।
04:14इसमें यावजाद नहीं है।
04:15क्यों भी मैं कहता हूँ?
04:16I don't know, maybe rain or something?
04:18But it's not rain, it's rock.
04:19Wait, 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.
04:27Alright, it's rock pee.
04:28And after a much drier night of sleep,
04:31we 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!
04:41Let's see how deep in the cave we can make it.
04:43Now, keep in mind,
04:44we are still just at the beginning of this massive cave.
04:48And our goal is to make it all the way through it,
04:50without dying, of course.
04:51Oh my gosh, this is kind of steep.
04:53Bro, you ain't seen nothing yet.
04:54We're going deep in the cave.
04:56Alright, boys, suck in your guts.
04:58Before things get tight.
04:59I don't actually think I'm gonna fit.
05:00The interesting part about cave exploration
05:02is one second, you're barely fitting through cracks in the rocks.
05:05Oh my God, this is so tight.
05:06And 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!
05:23So 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 the most effectively.
05:30Lead the way.
05:31And so, we continued on.
05:33Joe, there's a really good handle up the top there.
05:36And then you can sort of swing a foot around onto this one.
05:38Like this?
05:38Yeah, yeah, perfect.
05:40Joe, the best caving guide ever.
05:42No one's died yet.
05:44Alright guys, this is where things get interesting.
05:46What?
05:47What is this?
05:48So from this point on, wetsuits,
05:52we're going for a swim.
05:53Yesterday, Mac and Carl were joking about doing this,
05:56but the rest of this cave adventure takes place in a freezing river.
05:59Oh my God, this is insane!
06:01Meaning wetsuits are the only way to not get hypothermia.
06:04Why are we doing this?
06:05This 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
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.
06:21You've got to follow the wall around.
06:23It'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.
06:31Oh my God!
06:32What's crazy about doing this
06:34Oh, it's so cold!
06:35is when you're completely submerged in freezing cold water,
06:38gripping onto the rocks becomes incredibly hard.
06:41Oh my gosh, that was crazy!
06:43Mac, Carl, let's go!
06:45I'm scared!
06:46You got this!
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!
06:56Yes! Yes! Yes!
06:57Hey, boys!
06:58We're now 10% done!
07:00Which means we've only scratched the surface of this expedition
07:03and we still have over 2 kilometers remaining to reach the end.
07:06As you can see,
07:07it rains in this cave 24x7.
07:09So I'm making a chill spot for us to hang out in and not get wet.
07:13I 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.
07:20Why don't 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 every 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.
07:39Is that a spider web?
07:41Why not? It's not a spider.
07:42That means it's probably on us.
07:43It'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 gonna have to turn around for today and head back to camp.
08:01I disagree!
08:02You can't disagree with a safety expert!
08:05I disagree!
08:06Well, 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.
08:18Sean, we're back!
08:19What did you do while we were gone?
08:21Hopefully nobody gets wet now.
08:22I didn't even know we packed lights.
08:24Yeah, they're awesome, right?
08:25Sadly, 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,
08:35and then on day five,
08:36try 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.
08:41I'll see you guys tomorrow.
08:45And after a third miserable night in the cave,
08:47the next morning, we only had one thing in mind.
08:50A hot shower would literally save my life right now.
08:53Oh, showering would be awesome.
08:55I haven't showered in three...
08:57four days!
08:58As you can imagine,
08:58showering inside a cave isn't easy.
09:00We had to hike all the way back
09:02to where we rappelled in to safely reach the riverbed.
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!
09:13Alfredo, stop, 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 because of the fast-moving water.
09:26But the rains have been slowing,
09:27so we might just get a window to reach the end by tomorrow.
09:30Dude, this is about to be wild.
09:32First, we'll need to pass some of those same rapids from yesterday,
09:35dive off massive cliffs and avoid jagged rocks.
09:38And if we can make it past all that,
09:40we will finally make it to 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?
09:49Nah, 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 to regain our energy.
09:56Everyone, cheers!
09:58Oh, Joel's about to have his first feastable s'more.
10:01All right, Joel, be honest.
10:03Joel approves?
10:04Why didn't we whip this chocolate out earlier?
10:06This just got like 10 times more fun.
10:08Guys, for real, if you've never tried s'mores with feastables,
10:10you're really missing out.
10:12Tomorrow, 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
10:17and prepare for tomorrow's journey to the end of the cave.
10:20We're about to embark on one of the most dangerous journeys of my life.
10:22Because of our experience from day three and focusing less on filming,
10:26we were able to make progress way faster.
10:29This water's cold.
10:30Just like the other day, bro.
10:32No, it's not easy.
10:33And to ensure our best chance of survival,
10:35in addition to Joel, we brought another survival expert with us.
10:38This is where we had to stop on day three.
10:40How are we doing?
10:41I think we're making much better time.
10:42Behind us, it's pitch black.
10:44Where do we go?
10:45This area gets narrow and the current's strong.
10:48So we're going to use the walls and kind of climb our way along.
10:51Yep, through we go.
10:52I got it.
10:53I'll go.
10:53Yeah, jump for that first rock.
10:55There's a couple of good rocks around the corner as well 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, this meant that if we let go now,
11:07we could get swept away by the strong current directly beneath us.
11:10Joel, what are we doing?
11:11I'll go into here if you can, that's a good one.
11:13I can't even see where I'm going.
11:14The current is taking me away.
11:17You got it, you got it.
11:18Get yourself in there, it's going to get way gentler.
11:21I go in here?
11:21Yep, in the hole.
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 is recirculating, so if you fall in,
11:37it takes you to the bottom and 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.
11:48Well done.
11:49Yeah, perfect.
11:50So now I put my foot here?
11:51Yeah, correct.
11:52Nice.
11:55Caving is a lot harder than I thought.
11:57You can tell how strong this river is
11:59because 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.
12:11And just to prove how much of an expert he is,
12:13this man literally flexed on us by jumping off a cliff.
12:18Oh my God.
12:20You're crazy.
12:21This is a bit crazy.
12:23Surely one of you guys are keen?
12:24I'm crazy!
12:26No 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.
12:42You doing it?
12:43No, we got to keep going or we will hit the end.
12:46Oh my God.
12:50Can we go downstream?
12:51Why are we always fighting the current?
12:52I might just start drifting away.
12:54I might just give it up.
12:55There are sharp rocks underneath the water.
12:57You cannot see them, so watch your step.
13:00Oh my God.
13:01It's getting deep again.
13:02I can't. I need to put my feet up.
13:03And if the sharp rocks weren't enough of a challenge,
13:06it seemed like with every step we took...
13:09Bro, I can't see anything.
13:10This is terrifying.
13:11The cave became darker, tighter,
13:14and ruthless enough that we began to question
13:17if we could even get to the finish line.
13:20This is...
13:21This is awesome.
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?
13:28Thank you.
13:29You 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, because of what I've been going through
13:37for the past five hours,
13:38I'm clearly in no shape to tell you about this right now.
13:41And so, a month after we filmed this,
13:43I 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
13:50of Mr. Beast Lab Swarms.
13:52It's a collectible toy line
13:53with over 119 uniquely designed characters
13:56that you can collect.
13:57And the coolest part is,
13:58to find out which character you got,
14:00you pour water into this tube,
14:01shake it up,
14:02and the swarms will appear in front of your very eyes.
14:05And to demonstrate the product,
14:06I made this giant life-size version of the swarms tube.
14:09Fill the tube with water.
14:12You won't need this much water.
14:13This is just a giant tube.
14:15All right.
14:16Now that this is filled with water,
14:17Max is gonna give it a little shake-age.
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 will be revealed
14:30which two swarms you got.
14:31This is the rarest one, the 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, just 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
14:52everywhere in the world you buy toys.
14:54They're all out now.
14:55Go give them a try.
14:56And after more brutal trekking throughout the cave,
14:58we finally arrive at the Glow Worm Chamber.
15:01Man, this better be worth it.
15:03All righty, team.
15:05Welcome to the Glow Worm Chamber.
15:08Whoa!
15:09Holy crap.
15:10That is crazy.
15:11Dude, this does not look like it's Earth.
15:13All of the lights you see here
15:14are actually created by tiny bioluminescent glow worms.
15:18That kind of looks like the Milky Way Galaxy.
15:20Wow.
15:21At this moment,
15:22this view honestly made that trek worth it.
15:25While making it to the glow worms
15:27was definitely worth the trip,
15:28our journey was still not over
15:30because we had to go all the way back to base camp.
15:34It's almost day six.
15:35They're not back, and I'm exhausted.
15:37I don't know if I'll be able to sleep, though.
15:38I'm just worried with them being gone so long.
15:40The trip back is way easier
15:41because we're just floating with the current.
15:43Now, because you guys have already seen the trip,
15:45we're going to expedite the way back.
15:46But seriously, this whole journey took so long,
15:49we crossed into day six before reaching camp.
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 thaw out by the fire
16:00and 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.
16:08Yeah, maybe today.
16:09I 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 to fall asleep.
16:26I spent seven days in 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 than all of those.
16:34You're constantly soggy and cold.
16:37I just keep hitting my body
16:38on these hard rocks and it hurts.
16:40Ninety percent of the time,
16:41this cave is miserable.
16:43But between me and you...
16:44Jimmy!
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 in this cave.
16:52Woohoo!
16:53From conquering rapids
16:54300 feet underground.
16:56Woo!
16:57Me and the boys laughing in our hammocks.
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 until 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 back to the mouth of the cave,
17:34Oh, it looks so good up there.
17:36we had one more surprise for 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 for every human you didn't let die.
17:46Oh gosh, thanks so much, Jim.
17:48We love you, Joel!
17:50Now that we got that out the way, let's leave.
17:52Woo!
17:53After seven long days,
17:55we're finally leaving!
