Who knows - maybe this is how Dave and Cody were discovered for Dual Survivor.:innocent:
Strange thread to post such a request in, dont you think ?
Numptys probably would make for good ratings.:innocent:
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.
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
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. :cool2:
I bet they learned a thing or two as well.
this threads still going? wow haha
ive been good, just busy with work and promotions, but i did get to spend the last week hiking part of the AT in NC.
Welcome back! Didn't you used to live over on the East Coast? :cool2:
I was gonna let it go 'cause it's too easy and all....but what the heck?
Did they move Florida?!
thanks sarge. hahaha and rick i'm pretty sure even after all the hurricanes we are still on the east coast.
Whew! Had me worried for a second.
Thanks for the link,,,, Interesting guy !
Here is the Documentary,, (It says full movie) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss
Adrian you don't have to have or make tools to survive, but you must have knowledge. Not knowing which plant to eat may poison or kill you. Plants can trick you, you may accidentally eat a poisoned plant that looks like a non-poisoned. Ever thought of anti-venom? The rule be prepared is applied on both animals and humans. I know only one anti-venom INFORMATION REMOVED BECAUSE IT IS INCORRECT.
That's not only completely wrong but dangerous to be posting that kind of information. Someone may believe you and try it. Since your posts have been so off the wall and so wrong you need to start posting supporting documentation. Maybe if you actually do a search to support yourself you might learn something.
I've edited your post because it is totally wrong.
Phew!! BH You are gonna' Get someone killed!! Please stop with the Nonsense!! Right now the biggest poison around here is your false notions of how to survive.
Not to mention that you're posting to someone who hasn't been around for several years. Both of them failed on their mission because they wouldn't listen to others. Also, like Rick said, you need to do some research and post that, or links to it. :cool2:
You all seem very well versed in self-subsisting survival. I'm not asking about anything as extreme as two people walking into Northern Canada with nothing but a camera, clothes and a knife. I am a 19 year old female. I ask that you do not hold my gender against me. I understand my age may be of concern, but I don't feel as if me gender will hinder me at all. I'm curious about spending a month, perhaps two during the summer in the Appalachian Mountains alone. I would be in a cabin, but would like to be as self-subsisting as possible. Do you have any general recommendations of items that may not come to mind immediately that would be helpful?
Yes, several. First, why not stop by our Introductions section and tell us a bit about yourself. What kind of outdoor experience do you have? Can you identify wild edibles? Having you done any camping? Extended camping? The more we know about your background the more we can help answer your questions. What I would tell someone with no experience is vastly different than what I would tell someone that has spent multiple weeks camping in the wild.
Neither your age nor your gender make a difference other than some precautions that any woman would want to take when she is alone in the woods.
You might also want to review this thread. While it doesn't specifically apply to you it will give you some general ideas what we are looking for in terms of experience.

Not that this is the case to which you are referring, but some internet providers do not have servers, so provide no email. Up here in Alaska, some of us are just lucky to get the "internet waves over an antenna". So if we want email we have to use something such as gmail.

Plenty of documented cases of people going out into the wilderness in Alaska unprepared thinking they were just going out into the woods and subsist and live off the land...and died! Even in the summer! You have to do your research and be prepared! Also, a lot of folks just can't wrap themselves around the isolation, even for just a week can really mess with your head if you aren't ready for it.
And Gmail? What 1stimestar said... Gmail is far superior to hotmail or yahoo, no comparison at all. I have a server email but I prefer Gmail email to anything else I've tried so far...No spam what-so-ever, and I can access my email from any computer.
