YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

For the past 18 years, Clifford has been living in a cave on the edge of a small town called Wilderness. What was once a popular restaurant and tourist stop is now home to a man on a mission, one who believes he was called by God to give up everything and live here. Over time, others have joined him, turning the cave into an unofficial refuge for people with nowhere else to go.

In this documentary, I travel to Wilderness to find Clifford’s Cave, meet the man himself, and get a rare look inside his world. From his unbelievable backstory to the way he survives off curious visitors, this is a story you won’t forget.
