ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly - and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test - one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

Y'all skip this. U don't see much of cave. Just a bleach blond woman yakking incessantly.
I was born and raised in Vietnam. I left when I was 13 and never had a chance to go back for over 30 years now. Didn't get to do any of these, but next time when I'm back I will. Thanks for sharing.

You should make a plan first, if you want to make a tour in this cave, have to registed for years before you go.

Did you get to see the jungle inside the cave? I heard they have their own cave monkeys… from what I’ve seen on KZread it looks like a scene from Avatar

@@greg6162 I'm guessing that's the more expensive caving, the one Tim wanted to do. I think it costs about $3,000+ and has a waiting list as only so many people can do it a year.
This is the best "Phong Nha" pronunciation by a non Vietnamese, hands down

One of my favorite comments ever! Thank you so much! 😊😊 cảm ơn 🙏
I enjoyed this video as I served in Vietnam in 1966, 1967 and again in 1968 as a Marine Grunt. The heat was unbelievable as you experience. Just try to imagine dealing with that along with the snakes, spiders, centipedes, wild animals, booby traps and someone trying to kill you. But the best beer I ever had was after my first patrol and getting shot at. For some odd reason their was gold beer waiting for us at our base camp. I can still taste how good it was 56 years ago. Thanks you for filming your adventure. Semper Fi

This has got to be one of the coolest adventures ever.
I’m in my mid 50’s and contemplating doing the 7 day Son Dong cave tour with my daughter and husband. I was going to really train hard to get my finest up for a year before we would book to go. After watching this, I know that I couldn’t manage these four days, let alone 7 days. Watching your video was kind of the next best thing though. Keep enjoying your travels and sharing with the world. Thank you

I did it at 61, NO problem at all, with NO training.
I never stopped smiling! What I loved was that Fin’s responses were so real like I would imagine mine would be. You all went so that I don’t have to-I’m way past the age! Thanks so much for taking me there. Superb!
Great video. Did a 3 day motorcycle trip through N Vietnam in 2016. Took a spill on a rainy road. Cut up my hand. Had to get a tetanus shot, stitches ...didn’t understand a word in some tiny village, but would go back in a second. The difficulty makes the experience worthwhile!

wow, thank you both for letting me revisit Tu Lan caves. I made the 3 days tour in December 2017 during the slightly more muddy season. Didn't have to fight the heat dough 🙏. How did you manage all the shooting for the blog besides following the guide. Fantastic videos. Stuck in the isolation for the pandemic now, I gonna watch all your other vlogs, since you were at some same places I had seen. Thanks again for all the work you did and sharing it.
This is the longest travel video I can watch on KZread without getting bored 💫
Did I just watch all of these episodes as they came out? Yes, yes I did. Am I watching this again anyway? Yes, yes I am.

Great vlog...Memories when looking back will be highlight of your life. I’ve been all over Vietnam except cave, Sapa, phu quoc. May need take next trip back to Vietnam again.
Thank you SOOOOO much for making this video!!! Ever since this new ecosystem was discovered, I’ve always wanted to see what the journey looked like and everything that was inside. The price and extreme physical challenge were not things I could endure. I’ve watched a few of your videos so was very happy when I came across this. My family is Vietnamese so thank you for pronouncing “Phong Nha” correctly! Your accent was spot-on, Fin! Btw, which month did you guys go?
That was amazing to watch. You both are so brave and courageous. Thank you for sharing this video with those of us that do not have these types of opportunities to travel.
I love watching your video, I love your sense of happiness and humor, no matter what the obstacles, hardship in front you two keep smiling and enjoy life at the moment. I love Fin’s smile. This is the second video of your that I watched. Love you both ❤️
you both are so brave! amazing videos! thank you both for bringing this dangerous adventure to us that are not able to see these beautiful caves and scenery.. thank you Tim and Fin!!
This was so much fun to watch! You guys are amazing!
What an amazing adventure you had, I loved watching this, felt I was there with you. This is one trip you will never forget. It was just stunning, would love to do something like this.
I loved it! Great having your thoughts while going along.
Love this style...thanks for all your brave adventures
Guys, that's the best trek ever, I love the videography, the music, the scenery. Wow, I'm glad Fin did it with Tim through the caves with giant spiders and venomous snakes couple feet away. What a lucky and happy couple! 👏 👍 🙌

FIN, i dont think you get enough credit for how hard you push yourself out of your comfort zone especially when you're afraid. you'll never know how inspired i am by you
Tim, Fin, ya'll made watching this so much fun. Ya'll must be such great friends. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the amazing amazing experience guys!!!
One of the best videos I have seen. This was assumed.
What an awesome adventure!!! Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
You guys. WOW!! Another amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. We LOVE your channel and are so glad we've found you guys!! Some of the places you squeezed through did NOT look easy. AMAZING!
Such an amazing video of a super interesting trip! Thanks for filming and editing all of this
This is on my list! Now that I've we seen this.. Its gotten me more excited
You guys are just brilliantly adorable, relatable, fun, and a joy to view your incredibly adventurous and inspiring lives! Thank you
First of all, I love you guys and your videos! Second, both of you are effin CHAMPS for doing this!! As soon as I saw a spider of that magnitude, I would have started questioning my sanity for doing something like this and probably would have turned around lol. Then doing it in that high heat and humidity, no way. You guys rock for completing this adventure. I can't wait to keep watching the rest of your videos. Love from Michigan! =)
This is a compilation video of all of the Rugged Underground episodes on a 4 day Vietnam Cave Trek. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you for your efforts in filming your memorable adventures - Cheers
I guess the question is, will Allison go with you if you do decide to go on a 2 day trek? Allison was a trooper and I think she did great on the 4 day trek.
Loved this video. Thank you for taking us along with you on the trip❤
I love your dynamic in this video. Lots of fun!
what a mad thing to do ! Nice vlog, and what a trooper doing this when you are not feeling 100 % 🍻
I watched the vlogs as they first came in. Yes I watched this again. Also will probably watch in again too. 🙃 You two are freaking amazing!! Thank you for sharing. I felt your fear Fin, the bats would have sent my husband screaming out of there never to return!! 🤣🤣 How are you going to be top this one? I can't wait to see....

This was so beautiful and real. Thank you.
It was pretty intense and crazy, I actually felt your anxiety and I don't think I need to go on a cave trip now, but definitely an above ground adventure, some moments lagged a little but overall I enjoyed it.
You guy are really a cutest couple. I enjoyed watching your awesome journey and your mixed fun expressions. Thanks for sharing adventurous details. Love you both 💗💝
Loved this format where you watch along and we get background. Just found your videos and am really enjoying watching them.
Beautiful video. Thank you for sharing 💚
Great Video loved it. I had to watch the whole thing. It was very interesting.
I prep for the day in the mornings, and then work afternoons, into the evenings. This vid killed my morning productivity. I couldn't stop watching the cave adventures. I like both your short form and long form formats. Honestly, you are both so adorable, I enjoy pretty much any living of life camera interactions that you do. Have you thought of focusing more on food next? I think getting a feel for the local dishes could be a very interesting video. Lastly, with regards to sleeping on a trek like that, a 20$ pop up mosquito tent would probably save you a lot of pain if you do anything like that again. Thanks for the vid. Your far away friend, The Lord of Death. Love and bubbles.

Great Video. Thanks for sharing
thanks for making the video; i enjoyed watching it; i am a bit old for this kind of adventure; thus watching this video is the only way i can see the cave so thanks for uploading; also, it is very well put together. keep on exploring guys....we only live once.
Was so cool.
This cave expedition is insane 😳!!! I'm claustrophobic...wouldn't have made it , but incredible footage!!! 💗the retrospective commentary with the video!!
The best trips I ever had were discounted with a scruff group lol.
Enjoyed it, both formats.
love this style of video, keep it up!
What a great experience for you guys Thanks for your video
You guy's are so much fun! Thought I was gonna see a trip to that Son Doung(?) Mammoth cave but I stayed w you to the end! Awesome cinematography!"You compliment one another perfectly!😘

I'd like to see you guys do Son Doong next time you're in VN. Expensive, but well worth it. No bugs or creepy crawlies in the cave so Fin would like it.
You guys are awesome. Very nice video 👏🏼👍🏻
this is a great video about cave hiking. i really admire how you guys travel the world as a living. I am from tRinidad and Tobago. there is a cave in Trinidad that has the second largest colony of bats in the world. and every day around six oclock in the evening there starts a torrent of bats flying out of the cave for hours.
Thank you for doing this because I would not. Loved seeing it all.
You guys are amazing.
You guys are awesome!
I've got 1 word AMAZING
I Hope I can go there some day, it’s the most beautiful cave over the world
