Matt dude, grease your backhoe. Actually go grease every piece of equipment you own, but especially the backhoe!

The only kind of gun Matt doesn't have... a grease gun 😂 6:35

The cave content is actually so awesome. Idk why, there’s just something about finding caves. It’s awesome.

Battery powered chisel would help a bunch, and just for further edification... grease is a LOT cheaper than bushings. Take care of your equipment so it will take care of you.

Matt: “I FOUND A POSSIBLE MEGA CAVE” Everyone: “GREASE THE BACKHOE”

Once you guys get it excavated you should build a small shed over the entrance so you can keep it locked when people aren't touring. Also would help prevent rain from flooding it

The time went so quick watching this, and I love that Matt always gets his hands dirty. I think that you need to name one of your lodges after the 'Cave Boys" - they are a great bunch of men, who are so knowledgable and willing to explore and have fun with you all, keeping it safe as well. Another great episode.

Mat that CAT needs some grease bad boss

I think a vac truck or hydro excavation truck would help a ton with the dirt and small rocks….. and maybe a grease gun

I never had so much fun just watching guys dig a hole. Can’t wait to see it all cleared out.

Can't belive a group of blokes digging a hole could be this entertaining!! 😮.

Matt, they make this stuff called: “grease” your heavy equipment loves the stuff. Get some!😂

We will come back and make it MEGA CAVE!

Hey Matt. Love your show been watching g for years. Love the resort episodes especially when looking for caves. I just wanted to mention that while digging out your newest cave you have multiple people down there with only 1 passage for air. It may be beneficial for you to invest in a small ventilation fan to pump fresh air down the hole. They are relatively cheap on Amazon I use 2 large ones for when I weld in overhead confined spaces 1 for exhaust 1 for fresh air. Just looking out for ya'll. Love your channel and what you are doing on the resort can't wait for more episodes.

Matt, you guys and gal digging out this cave as much and as far as you can is interesting and entertaining, good stuff! Keep going, and if it ends up being fairly big in the end, put an anchored, steel, welded ladder down into it so it can be a thing for visitors to your adventure ranch resort to check out. These caver friends you've made are a cool group and they are very knowledgeable, experienced and fearless. We like them.

MATT! 17:33 The squeakiest backhoe EVER! Grease that dirty shovel! LOL

6:42 Matt you need to start greasing that thing by 😂

That backhoe needs some grease! Milwaukee makes an electric grease gun that will make it easy and grease will make your equipment last a lot longer!

Matt, slow down swinging your gopro and look at the "ceiling" of the cave, @ 21:24, I saw either "RM" or an Anthropomorph and a Stylized Line drawn on the ceiling, plus look closer at the black staining, it's probably mineral leaching but it might be smoke/ soot staining. Other than that, stay safe.

The way Matt finds new hobbies and groups within the hobbies and instantly they just seem like part of the group is so fun to watch. It happens so often

When did this poor excavator see grease the last time? 😱😅 Evertime i hear this horrible sound, when Matt is turning the bucket sideways.... almost 😭😳🤣

Glad to see Fenix getting some love. Most underrated flashlight company out there. You should pick up one of their HT30R laser flashlights. It will change the way you think about flashlights.

This man has us all enthralled with a hole being dug 😂😂😂 good for you Matt 👍🏽

As someone that has worked in confined spaces. Get some air handlers and hose out there. You can either vacuum air out of the hole pulling fresh air down the hole or push fresh air down pushing air out the hole.

Matt buy a cordless chipping gun and a 2" or 3" spade bit for it. Not to break the rocks apart but to loosen all the dirt as you go. I dug out the crawl space under my parents house and we carried the dirt out in 5 gallon buckets. We filled 3, 27 yard bins and having the chipping gun made a HUGE difference!!. Also, grease your machines! Please grease your tools!!!! Love the content! Thank you for sharing.❤❤

As a professional in search and rescue I strongly recommend not trusting these caving fellas with your safety Matt.

I think when I was a young fella, I would have enjoyed diving into that cave and filling buckets and barrels with a shovel. Today, not so much. I'm glad to see someone else still enjoys this type adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Literally just watched an hour of hole digging... Was awesome!

I can see ALL the equipment operators gritting their teeth at every grinding sound those pins are making. Then looking at all the comments below LMAO yup Matt GREASE THOSE ANGRY BUSHINGS AND PINS !!! Please

Thank you for the cave content Matt I'm absolutely loving it.

I love these longer videos. Can't wait to see the cave when you guys are all done with it!! Definitely a cool spot to hang out in!!💪☝🖒😎

35:02 - David's failed fist bump had me laughing more than anything else in this episode.

Mikey needs his own channel. Its a must at this point. Oh.... and get some grease my guy please!

I can't tell you how much I would love to help dig this out with you guys Love your videos

A tip... keep at least a couple of feet of flat ground between your dirt piles and the edge of the hole. It keeps things from falling into the hole as easily... (and its actually an osha regulation for that reason)

You make that cave much bigger, a Dollar General will be moving in!

Matt didn't buy an abandoned resort. He bought a real life version of Minecraft.

I absolutely love the cave stuff!!! Can't wait to see how this turns out!

The digging team is on fire ! I can just see it a pic of you and the Cave Boys on the wall of the cave .

A little grease on the machine goes a long way

OMG GREASE that boom! Ive been operating heavy equipment for 38 years, GREASE that boom, dipper arm and bucket connection!

Lol I could watch this content all day. I just love the vibes y’all have!

a full dig-out of that cave would be soooo awesome but also sooo much work :D

Matt, buddy, that backhoe was screaming... Have mercy on that poor thing! They have this new invention called GREASE. Please look into it. It's really cool stuff made from dead dinosaurs. 🤣

I think your backhoe needs some grease it really squeaks. It's going to wear out and cost more to fix than the grease love your channel be safe my friend.😊

Dude i am so freaking out the whole time, that there is a very big opening right under you and every time you dig deeper i fear it’ll collapse down … Wish you guys all the best out there! Please stay safe and keep my future wife out of this danger!!!! 😜

got to admit that cave is pretty cool, worth digging for sure, keep up the good work lads

Somebody grease that machine. 😂

I really enjoyed listening to the clear communications between everyone. Getting the job done while protecting each other. This is a great example of teamwork.

For some reason this was super entertaining and calming to watch ❤

These cave videos are great. Can’t wait to see more of them.

This has mad 'group of middle school boys who dedicate all their summer break to digging a hole in someone's backyard to see how deep they can go' energy! XD Loving' it!

4:00 wonder if Matt's thermal drone could find some of these Holes

One of my favorites so far from the ranch

Besides the greasing of equipment.. Cordless fans.. All the good cordless got them.. Good luck!

Loving this content. I came here years ago for the pew pews, then I stayed for Renovation Mansion, then I got suckered into the Renovation Ranch and now I am addicted to the caves.

Matt! Look into ground penetrating radar! You could get your entire area scanned! Find that cave!

This is totally awesome!! This cave looks like it’s gonna be a really cool addition to the resort!

It took me all day at different stages to watch this entire video. Love it.

Poor Cat is screamin for some greasin!!!😹

35:48 “here’s some gloves” slaaaap “I gotchu” “thats why you wear a helmet man” 😂🤣😆

Holly cow! Grease that machine! Your pins and bushings are screaming for it lol.

Watching a bunch of dudes digging in the dirt. I'm here for it.

Who would have thought watching a group of dudes digging an under ground hole for an hour would be so interesting. More please lol.

Absolutely love the longer videos!!!

18:14 Mikey almost dropped the impact into the cave😂😂

Build a tripod set up over the key of entrance and use a winch to pull the Rocks up make it a lot faster and easier. You can also extend the Boom for the backhoe Over the Hole a chance of snatch blocks to that so you can use your winch to pull up from that too.

I'm so invested in this hole in the ground, it's ridiculous.

This is one of the coolest videos on the internet Just digging out a cave and chilling with your boys ❤

I used to work for sewer clean out company years ago, and we used trucks that had massive vacuums attached. You could use one to vacuum out most of the loose dirt out of the cave. Just a thought

Poor ol girl needs some grease 🤣

You have come so far from when I started watching you 10 years ago with microwave Monday putting bullets in there. I'm so glad for you and yours

Its cool to see you guys digging the tunnels out. I wish brent at cerro gordo will be able to do the same and clear the mine out. Its so cool to see them opened back up and useable. Be cool to have little underground cave rooms everywhere possible

I need more of this!

You guys need to enlist the services of a vac truck to get all that dirt out

Ive only been this invested in one other type of hole in my life. Keep going!

You need to get one of the portable fans like the utilities use with the flex duct on it to ventilate the dig, cooler and fresh air!

Thats awesome that you’re digging it out

Sounds like you need to grease some zerk fittings on that backhoe

I just watched an hour long video of the boys (and Jenna) digging a hole. I need a part two.

Dang dude, two days and yall really made a dent. Id go down there now as it is with a couple friends and feel good hanging out in there. A little cramped but some foam pads, a speaker, and some of gods green plants, already a very viable spot for a chill session with the boys.

Y'all are crazy!! When you're in the cave I'm holding my breath feeling it close in. But kudos to you guys and you're cracking me up.

Watching a grown man dig a hole for 56min was not on my list of things I thought I would ever watch 🤣 Good job Matt

That was awesome. Just hanging out with the guys watching huge rocks being lifted out. I was honestly laughing out loud so many times. It's easy to forget how well this video is made. The multi views are genuine genius. Hat off (and then quickly put back on) to all of you for this. It may just be a hole being dug but the content and quality of the friendship and and the length is perfect. Though I could of watched this all night. And a quick shout out to Mickey, you made me spit my Tea out....more than once. And Matt. I hope you get your dirty man hole cleaned up AND I hope you get your dirty man hole clean.....yeah it works both ways. Thank chaps. Love from Liverpool UK.

This is so interesting! I am glad you are sharing!

People are really digging all of the cave-related content big time in the comments...cave stuff IS A HIT!

Big hammer drill with a spade bit would definitely help break that ground apart faster. Love all the content Desperado brings to the masses. Thanks Matt and Crew!

Mikey deserves a raise ! When are you going to come out with demolition resort safety helmets ?

I could just watch this for hours. Feel like one of the guys and it's like building forts as a kid

Fellas, its Limestone!! Of course you will find "caves" and "rooms". But its fun exploring with you in the comfort of my clean room and A/C. 😄

Love how humble you are towards cave diving, it's the right approach listen to the professionals and understand your not at their level but also understanding that theses guy are driven by passion and are doing everything they can to get you comfortable enough to enjoy yourself

Love these longer videos, just enough to crack a few cold ones and get some meat on the fire! Eating meat, drinking beers and watching some wild a$$ texan with big holes on his ranch.. lovit!

Make a skip ladder which looks like a regular wood ladder but with rails up that the bucket or barrel rides on. It can be left in place to make it easier to get in and out.

Looks so fun, y'all are awesome 🎉🙏😁

Y'all need to contact a hydro excavation team. They would empty the cave in an afternoon

You actually doing it matt. I think the cave is going to be bigger than expected. You might hit water at some point too. It would be a nice start for some resort dwellers to come and take a look, even if its small it might be less scary for people that are scared of caves. Definitely repurpose the rocks, maybe make a retaining wall around the hole with it or structure around the hole or use it to builda house or use the rocks to rebuild the restaurant.

Matt, gonna need you to do an equipment-lubing montage.

Before Silver Dollar City in Missouri was a theme park it was a huge cave tour for many years before they started adding rides and other amusement activities. You may just be on to something that will help your resort really take off.

I'm gaining more and more respect for Mickey. That man is a WORKER!

I always smile when I read Thank You For Watching . Watching ,I was not simply watching, I was absolutely transfixed. What fabulous progress .I am soooo looking forward to the next cave scouring out video.❤
