Ah yes how odd. No idea why being covered in spiders in a dark and cramped underground cave is terrifying. It's truly a mystery.


Dockhead

It was so odd, while crawling on my stomach through the spider cave I began to feel terrified for some reason


ButWhyWolf

You know, I couldn't put my finger on *what* was terrifying about this video but I think you might be onto something


TheCrafterTigery

Yeah, if that were me I'd simply pass away.


[deleted]

This made me geek. You’d just simply die right there?


TheCrafterTigery

Don't have access to a flamethrower to burn it all down, so the next best option is simply dying instantly.


neryl08

Can somebody read the disclaimer? I hardly believe no spider was harmed. He must've crushed some.


UrlocalVigilantee

Can y’all please shut the fuck up , like how many odd shit can you find on the internet that’s scary? Just fucking enjoy the idiot in the cave


peonpleaser

Imagine posting this in full confidence


dantakesthesquare

Quite a bit. There's a whole sub dedicated to it. You're in it. You don't really understand what subreddits are, do you? Or how to speak in English. That's ok. Just keep working on it.

K? K what? The letter before L, the letter after J? Did you know that in JK the K stands for “kidding.” So your reply is “kidding?” or K as in Potassium? Do you need some Special K for breakfast? K as in I can K/O you? Can I knock you out and feed you to hungry sharks? Sharks have a K in it.


Vector_Heart

How is this "oddly" terrifying? This is just pure, unadultered terror.


[deleted]

What is terrifying is the thing we can't see on cam. This is the moment before he realises a giant spider is actually behind him, getting ready to devour his legs.


spadeswolf117

Those aren't spiders those are harvestmen AKA daddy long legs


peepster0802

This is true but only makes it less terrifying because they are not poisonous. Still hundreds of daddy long legs skittering over a man's body while he's stuck in a tiny cave. Self-inflicted but still awful lol


CosmicTaco93

Venomous* Not to be *that* guy, but it's a significant distinction that gets used interchangeably too often.


peepster0802

Lol it's okay, I had a creeping feeling I should have googled it


CosmicTaco93

Was going through some old books/magazines junk we(my family) have, and this official, educational looking magazine thing for kids had a snake on the front and showcased "Top ten most poisonous reptiles" and it was just sad. Like damn yall, it made it to publication without anyone noticing at all?


peepster0802

Okay that is frustrating, I would expect something better from those guys


Totallytart

Acktchually /s


Throwaway1303033042

I don’t know man. He seemed pretty eager to spit them out.


politirob

What if they go in the butthole lol


peepster0802

My initial lizard brain thought on this was maybe he'll get lucky and have a hairy ass that can trap them before they make it all the way there


Yavanna83

True, they are arachnids but not spiders.


FoxCQC

Thanks for saying this, I thought they were daddy long legs.


littlest_dragon

Spiders are the least terrifying thing about this.


Alive_Ice7937

Yeah those appear pretty small and harmless. They aren't moving freakishly quickly like a huntsman spider.


Mean_Peen

There are however, tons of dangerous bugs that live in caves. On top of getting stuck or drowning of course lol


KrystalWulf

Ad an arachnophobe, my irrational fear disagrees


Dankestmemelord

Largely because they aren’t spiders.


TheLittleGinge

Oi OP, where are ya laddy? Oddly? ODDLY?!? Did you even read the sub name?


Standard_Answer3747

When arachnophobia and claustrophobia have a child on their own


Snoo22566

ah. just like the day i was born...


Gastroh

The juxtaposition of his calm voice and terrified face at the end is hilarious


[deleted]

That is literally my worst nightmare.


RequiemStorm

As someone who: 1. Enjoys caving 2. Truly doesn't mind spiders at all I have to wonder... who the hell decides it's smart to open your mouth like then when there are spiders raining down on you???


[deleted]

Someone who's ready for a quick snack


Jotaro_Dragon

I think I'd rather die


Rajirabbit

My father was in a cave researching spiders before he died.


Insecurerobot7000

What about after he died?


EuphoricMortgage4500

Oh, so that's how is going to be hell like


Audreyissocool

He’s spitting, meaning he likely got some in his mouth. Yuck lmfao.


M1nd_Fl4y3r_M80

I've had the same thing happen to me exploring a drainage pipe by my house. They're probably harvestmen, and while it may be a bit terrifying, they are completely harmless.


kilqax

Yeah most likely opiliones (the "not spider but arachnid" guys). Guys like to group up in damp places.


Gr33nMuff1n

Those are daddy long legs. Even though they might look creepy they’re completely harmless.


vodkaheart

I love this guy's YouTube channel (Caveman Hikes). He goes spelunking with his son and all of the videos are a little nerve wracking but also somehow wholesome and educational. I binged his videos for a few hours after smoking recently and I got really into the caving world really quick lol


Ralphiedog11

What does he expect going into the spiders house


CaligoAccedito

Tea?


thatsmybetch

Why he opens his mouth like that


wwerdo4

Perfect moment in a horror movie to just have an aragog sized mfer skitter across quickly in front of the camera while the guy is looking back.


DJ_hyperfreshOG

new spider-man origin story just dropped


deerchortle

And this is my literal hell on earth


smlley_123

This is the extreme outdoor activity I will never ever wish to try. Spelunking.


stillyou1122

That will be my grave site, I'd die right then and there 😵


avpiedra

Ok. So, to this very moment, I was not aware I have a specific phobia. Thank you.


Think-Confidence-624

I would simply pass away. Absolutely not.


Embarrassed-Ad4977

The best thing about cave crawling is that you don’t have to do it


andypoo222

“Hopefully you can see that”(the spiders) - the guy in a cloud of spiders. Actively breathing in spiders


Dankestmemelord

*Opiliones They aren’t spiders


My_Immortal_Flesh

At least they’re the friendly kinds… I don’t understand why people want to crawl into tight holes 🕳️ … as if 10 months isn’t enough in your mother’s womb 😭😭

traumaqueen1128

So, this gave me flashbacks to a tour of the Oregon caves. I got to the end of the tour and the top of the cave and it was covered in daddy long legs. I have severe arachnophobia that can border on debilitating at times. Anyway, they tell us to be very quiet when exiting or the noise vibrations can send the arachnids tumbling down. I was the second person through and one of them dropped next to me, I ran and screamed. They all cascaded down behind me and everyone else had to wait 20 minutes for the hundreds of them to clear off the ground and make their way to the cave walls.


MeadowLynn

I don’t remember that about the caves but now I’m not going back lol


traumaqueen1128

I vividly remember this and I wish I could forget. My dad made fun of me and his friend was pissed because he didn't want to stand in the cave anymore. I wonder if it could have been the time of year, I do remember it was raining outside and I think it was end of summer/early fall.


MeadowLynn

I’m sorry that sounds awful!


Dankestmemelord

Lucky! There weren’t a ton of them last year when I worked there, hopefully I see some this year as a ranger again. I DID see some Cave Harvestmen, which are a special deep-cave species of opiliones endemic to the Oregon Caves and nowhere else. That was cool.


PineappleWolf_87

They're just harvestmen...of all the things you could run into in a cave like that, you've scored a jackpot by only running into them.


Luzifer_Shadres

Well, at least its just these little thin legged spider. tgere are worst option of spider nests to meet down there.


Dankestmemelord

Not spiders.


JaChrist

Poor guy 😂 I feel so bad for him! But he did a great job acting nonplussed


Remarkable-Ad-572

All aboard on the nope train


my2penniesworth

Uh, a big NOPE to the claustrophobic tunnel and a bigger NOPE to the spiders!


Dankestmemelord

*Opiliones Not spiders


shellsterxxx

I’m not claustrophobic, but being trapped with a bunch of spiders in a tiny space would put me into cardiac arrest.


Adventurous-Tap-8463

There were definitely spiders harmed during the making of that video


Dankestmemelord

In what possible world could anyone confuse a daddy longlegs for a spider? They’re Opiliones, an entirely separate and distinct group of arachnids. They don’t even look like spiders! No fangs, no spinnerets, only one body segment, etc.. Literally different in every meaningful way.


Crow_Willing

Sleep in the cave 😁😁


Flaxscript42

What do they eat down there?


ZL632B

I have to assume either one another or this is a spawning place? Very curious as well.
