What Would You Ask??

This past week I tweeted (@YOUCave) “If you could ask a panel of experts anything about taking kids caving, what you would ask?” I had a couple really good replies.

@A1TopCatDesign asked, “Any one thing would be, what is my liability?” This question I hear all the time. I would like this to be an easy answer, but it all depends. There are a lot of “ifs” and variables to consider and no one answer, much less a tweet, can answer this question.

@silvermanphoto asked, “What age is appropriate to start vertical training for a kid that’s been caving since a young age?” I’ve been pondering this myself. Even the question of what age to start kids caving is a common question. I’m going to fall back on my all inclusive answer, it all depends. There are a lot of things to consider other than just the age of the child. I’m assuming we’re talking about our own kids. But this question comes up with youth groups too. And again that question of liability comes into play again.

I’m going to hold onto these questions for our “panel of experts” video podcast that’s being put together along with other questions to be presented to them. We are still accepting questions if you still have them. I’ll post and tweet when panel discusses these topics and more live.
