Living in the woods/The Bare Wilderness Numptys!

[Justin Case]

Strange thread to post such a request in, dont you think ?

[crashdive123]

Numptys probably would make for good ratings.

Yeah but he isn't looking for numptys, he's looking for pros. Something just don't sit right, y'all.

We've had about 15 or 20 of this type post over the years (maybe a few less). Nothing has ever come of them, but as Chris pointed out this is the type of forum/place that one without resources would naturally look to recruit from. With the success of some of the shows on Discovery, I'm sure small (very small) outfits are cropping up all the time to try and ride that wave to the nearest Emmy party - or at least the bank.

UM if he can afford to pay people for a TV show why cant he afford a real email address, Gmail is kinda like a hotmail addy , ya know what I mean.

Hey guys,
I can't provide more information because it's for a pilot, and thus there's no particular network attached yet. Also, we're using gmail BECAUSE it's so general, in that we don't want to specify which company we are. If I were trying to scam you guys, I would've asked for the your name, occupation, address, account number, social security number, etc. And I would've been some bank in Africa.
But seriously, if you're interested, send us a picture and just a short paragraph about why you think you're a wilderness expert, and we'll go from there. What can it hurt?
And I apologize for spamming a few threads. I have to get the word out. You might think companies would have more advanced ways of finding people, but seriously, this is how the REAL people are discovered.

You could always have a look at some of the Blogs here and read some of the posts, some of the Guys have youtube channel links in thier Sig file,,

BTW, How Much will this show pay ?

Well, he didn't respond to my request and he kept on coming. Guess he learned a bit about survival today.

YOU should take basic tools,knife,axe,fire starter,reasonable gun,rice beans or taters and stay for one week a peace of 12x12 plastic might come in handy if you dont need these things dont use them. Be honest with yourself allways

[maker_of_fire]

I,m sure you could think of a small list of things that mite come in handy if you had to have them We all might learn from this If you dont need them dont use them I trust you guys Be careful take all precautions

This is a pretty old thread with quite a story behind it! The two guys didn't do very well & had to quit half way through; they came home wet, cold & hungry. We have it up as a warning for all the Numptys who want to be a "real man" by going out in the wilderness with nothing more than a knife & the clothes on their backs. Stupid is as stupid does.

[rwc1969]

I bet they learned a thing or two as well.

[ATough]

[Sarge47]

Welcome back! Didn't you used to live over on the East Coast?

[Rick]

I was gonna let it go 'cause it's too easy and all....but what the heck?
