This is exactly right. Following Colorado cavers around with a camera might make for entertaining television, but all the drama seems to occur on the surface. At times it's like watching Jerry Springer. When we're underground everyone mellows out and gets along.

I completely understand your concerns. The purpose of the show would be to promote good caving practices and show the community the importance of cave conservancy. How the WNS is affecting bats, and to show the destruction from people dumping garbage and spray painting the caves. My intentions are for the good of caves. No locations will be given. And I would certainly ask for donations at the end of every show to help the NSS.
ian1210,
Thanks for the suggestion Ian. I have all the equipment to make sure we are all safe. Even if not, the producer would have to buy it all I'm sure. lol

. The fact that I would be traveling the U.S.A. (maybe the world) meeting the greatest cavers/Grottos and learning about caves and caving from them. Which in turn, would be a good way to get cave conservation and safe caving a spot on T.V.. So as you see, I would just be the guy like Mike Rowe going around meeting different cavers and Grottos, and you all would be the people teaching myself and the world about safe caving and conservation.:
