Description: "To use this video in a commercial player, advertising or in broadcasts, please email Brave Bison at licensing@bravebison.io ***Read The Description*** The full version. In this full version, you see nearly the entire hike minus the occasional camera get adjustments like battery changes, etc... I often pause to show the interesting sections in more detail. My first in a long series of Hawaii lava tube hikes on the Big Island of Hawaii. Sorry, I don't show the location of these lava tubes to keep them protected. As you'll see in the following video they are very fragile. Lots of stalagmites and stalactites. These were formed by lava oozing down through the porous layers of the lava tube ceiling. This first part is much more open than in the next section. I enter via the same skylight. I move slowly as most of the hiking is technical and tripping and falling is a real danger. Also to show you as much detail as possible. No respirator is needed as it's an old tube system with plenty of ventilation. If it's windy sometimes I cover my face to prevent breathing in dust and lava shards. No helmet either as the sections are too fragile to damage. It's also a low ceiling area. I've been hiking this system since late 1991 and 99% of the ceiling sections that collapsed have been there since then. Even our 2006 6.8 and 6.7 earthquakes did little damage. The same with the 2018 6.9 earthquake. This area should never be developed. It should be an extension of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This is yet another addition to my new series of hiking videos. They will appear in my Hike-U-Mentaries playlist. If you're staying at home due to the worldwide pandemic, go on a hike with me. No fancy editing or cool music. Just everything I heard while out there. Wear headphones or watch in a quiet place to avoid distracting sounds and take in the peacefulness of the area. Taking social distancing to the extreme. Why would I show an area I love to hike that I never see other people at? I'm hoping that it helps to preserve this location by becoming a park status of some kind. I used the GoPro Hero 7 Black and a Holhem iSready Pro 2 stabilizing gimbal. No enhancements. The rest of my gear list is shown near the end of the video. I'm not sponsored by anyone. These are just the items I use. All of the gear was purchased by me. The nice thing about watching videos is you can skip ahead and watch at any pace you want. Photos in my website gallery were shot with my Panasonic GH5 and the Leica 8 - 18mm. Dual image stabilization. I'm really enjoying the micro four-thirds camera system. My entire kit weighs only 7.5 lbs covering 8mm - 400mm (16mm - 800mm 35mm equivalent). lavapix.com/gallery/hualalai-volcano-1801-lava-tube-gh5 The volcano stopped months ago and it could be years before it gets going again. I have tons of other videos I've been wanting to make so, now I can get busy on them. Thanks for subscribing.
