Thread: Discovery Channel - DUAL SURVIVAL

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Discovery Channel - DUAL SURVIVAL

    My name is Adam Neuhaus and I work for Original Media (*************).

    We are casting for a new show that is going to be on Discovery Channel in the beginning of 2010 called DUAL SURVIVAL.

    The show takes two people with differing survival techniques and puts them into the same environment. It is not a competition show.

    We are are looking for candidates who are willing to put themselves on tape as part of the casting process.

    We are looking for dynamic personalities with survival skills as well.

    Please contact me at adam @originalmedia.com if interested.

    Would this fall under the soliciting rule or does this count as job offers? Chris? Rick? Crash? Sarge??

    Help-- I need an adult!
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    an opertunity to experss our knowledge is what Adam is offering to us "the basis of this site" is to educate and offer guidence, I sent my video to Adam. i can reach a lot more people if i am selected. i fully support Adam and him posting the opertunity in not soliciting. @#$& posted a site selling things just a few days ago in chris's forum rule reminder i guess that slipped by everybody

    Personal perspectives I guess erunk. I don't have any particular desire to use my skills to compete for anything, whether he calls it a competition or not, I don't have any sense that I need an audience to re-affirm for me what I know about surviving in the bush and I sure as he** don't want someone tramping around in the bush and making all kinds of mess and racket with their cameras and taping equipment. I group those folks with the people I go out to the bush to get away from, not about to change my perspective on that. Anyone else wants to go for it, fill yer boots, have a nice time, bon voyage....

    Actually, based on Chris's clarification of rules, this post is just fine (at least I think it is).

    Yes, it is fine. Adam wants to pay you buggers a sack full of money and put you on the TeeVee.

    I want you guys to all become rich and famous so when you go on TV and do interviews you can say "blah blah blah wilderness-survival.net blah blah" or perhaps, during filming, wear a T shirt with the site on it. Hey, I'm flexible...

    If someone posts wanting to hire forum members for what would be paid jobs (and or, nice opportunities) it is okay. It benefits you guys to have exposure to these opportunities.

    Just my opinion... I don't have any faith in the media/Hollywood types. Things always seem to get hyped up and personalities are exaggerated etc. it's all for ratings anyway. Anyone that tells you otherwise is delusional or works for the networks.
    My wife and I were approached 5 years ago to film our experience in Southern Colorado for a reality type show and we declined. Just not our cup of tea, I try and get away from those types, not invite them into my happy place. Just use caution if you subject yourself to this, and for God sakes if you are on one of these act like an adult!
    Just my rantings...

    I sent the guy an email asking for info on the show. I'll post if he responds.
    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    At least they picked two real people who know something.
