And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I know a woman, she's in her 80s now who has a newspaper clipping calling her "Cave woman, 1954" for all the spelunking she did back then. Days spent underground mapping caves.
If that was in Texas that hole would be full of rattlesnakes and skunks and tarantulas and black widows and brown recluse and yellow jackets and copperheads and God help us all giant red headed centipedes and I'm not kidding. https://www.safehavenpest.com/blog/texas-redheaded-centipede
I was an amateur spelunker once, when I was about that guys age. I have squirmed through many a hole like that to get into a walking cave on the other side. I am not claustrophobic, obviously. (I was a submariner when I was in the Navy.) The only time I ever got scared while I was in a cave was when my light quit. I had two backups so not really that big a deal, but you have never seen dark until your light fails while in a cave. After recovering my light, I hightailed it back to the surface post haste.
Those days are long over for me. I no longer have the strength or the stamina to squirm into and out of a place like that. It also helps if you're a skinny beanpole. (Those days are also long gone for me.) It's been over 30 years since I have been in a wild cave, but I still have my carbide miners lamp.
Oh hell no. I visited Vietnam in 2003 and went into the tunnels at Cu Chi. We were told that the tunnels were enlarged so larger American and European frames could make it through the tour. That was tight enough for me.
Not a snowballs chance!! ge
ReplyDeleteNot a snowballs chance!! ge
ReplyDeleteNope...nope...nope!
ReplyDeleteThat puckers me up more than the extreme exposure postings.
Why? Why would you even want to do this? 😳
ReplyDeleteNope, un-huh, not a chance, hell no, ya gotta be kidding, a snow balls chance in he&*, ain't no damn way, outta your damn mind, yeah right....
ReplyDeleteCan't say no enough time or enough ways. Been in places that were easy enough to get into but getting back out? Too damn old for that foolishness.
I'm guessing it opens up once inside and he knows it, or he's just insane. Not claustrophobic though, that's for sure!

ReplyDeleteNotice how in the final second as he clears the hole he vanishes? That's called gravity. Wonder how far he fell?

ReplyDeleteThere is not enough space in the comments to type out the number of NOPES.
ReplyDeleteHad to let his wind out to get smaller.
ReplyDeletePortal to HELL.
ReplyDeleteDid that once...now I'm permanently claustrophobic.
ReplyDeleteI get into some small spaces, but I wouldn't have tried unless knew the other exit was much bigger.
ReplyDeleteI like visiting caves on vacation, but here, NFW.
ReplyDeleteNFW.
ReplyDeleteGuy eats a candy bar while he's in there and he aint getting out this week.

Only a good idea if you are being chased by zombies.

ReplyDeleteI served on Diesel Boats and never once had a problem with claustrophobia. This, uh uh.
