The Clay County Cavers Join Brad Halfacre To Discuss Making Caving Accessible For All

Loading player...
Brad Halfacre dives underground with Brandon Burris, Dustin Sells, and Misty Pearson of the Clay County TN Cavers for a look into the hidden world beneath our feet. What started as one expensive commercial tour turned into a mission to make caving accessible for everyone—no grotto fees, no barriers, just pure exploration. They break down the unexpected peace of mind caving offers, the essential safety must-knows, and why every cave demands its own gear and respect. The group also shares smart tips for approaching landowners, the importance of protecting natural formations, and how you can join their monthly adventures. Get ready for a conversation as deep as the caves themselves!
