    I saw them and wondering what those were. Could you expound on them are their purposes. Great video with equal documentary. Thanks for sharing.

    Canaries are trained from birth to detect low O2, and high CO levels in mines/caves. Actually I am going to have to look at the video again to see what Mike was talking about.

    Well, I see the canisters on the scooter, but I am not sure what they are. There were some scooters that were converted to heavier batteries, so had buoyancy tubes to make them neutral. They could be that, or just a way to carry supplies for the "dry" part of the cave.

    congratulations!
    Thanks, that was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. I think Rick and John are interesting people and I wanted to try and dig a bit deeper and understand their motivation, which i hoped might be of interest to a broader audience.

    Excellent video. Thanks for posting it. But the big question is: did they go back? I haven't been able to find anything on the internet.
