I'm really glad that guy could go in there and take pictures of it for me to look at... I'd be good as far in as I can go and still see the light of day, but that's it!

I’m glad he wrote what it takes to get there so I can figure out if I’ll do it or not

Makes me wonder what hasn't been discovered. Most of SE Asia is riddled with caves small and large. But just look at Angkor Wat. Very heavily traveled tourist destination, but part of the temple complex still goes largely unexplored, buried in deep jungle.

I've scrambled around in a cave just 30 miles outside a major city. A couple hundred feet it it was blocked by massive boulders. Not much more than a small garage at the entrance. But geologist have determined that a valley convergence about a half mile away has an artesian water source that is so far an unlimited water supply that very likely connects to that cave. So somewhere under that hill complex is a lake of mammoth proportions, quite possibly with air pockets but entirely inaccessible.
Within a couple miles of that hill are seven other similar caves.

Troglodyte paradise. The caves in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam were in part why the South Vietnamese and American military were never able to dislodge the Viet Cong. A fruitless hopeless waste of time, effort, and money against an implacable enemy that employed guerilla warfare and could simply vanish.

They want you to believe everything has been explored, prospected.

but its not. If you have enough money, you could find anything.

so many species still not discovered yet in south american. Even more so with spiders.

just save money, and then go turning over some logs in a tropical forest.

then you’ll get to name that nee
tarantula, The Snark.
