Discovery Travel is looking for Survivalist For a 2 hour special

A word from SurvivalForum.com:

We have recently been contacted by Ms. Michelle Mahoney regarding their desire to do a 2 hour special on "subculture" in America to include "survivalist."

Since SurvivalForum.com is The Online Survival Community, we wanted to let our visitors have an opportunity to contact Ms. Mahoney regarding their special. Details from The Discovery Show (Ms. Mahoney) are below.

Let's face it.. America is not only baseball and apple pie. Living among us are groups of people who practice rituals and behaviors sometime construed as a "subculture." Discovery Travel will produce a 2 hour special on subcultures of America. This will include so-called "survivalists".

"We are looking for individuals and groups of people in various US regions to tell these stories. The segments will be shot like a documentary and will provide a nice platform for explaining the beliefs of a given "subculture". If there is one particular region that attracts say, survivalists, then we would like to highlight that region. We are the Travel network, afterall. This is not a newsmagazine controversy piece, but really a way to show what each group is all about."

I am looking for a community of survivalists to profile for the Discovery Travel Special. I can fly to where you are. Shooting will take two days. I am looking for the simple survivalists as well as the extreme. I am looking for a story that hasn't been told yet. Please email me if you would like to help. I am based out of SF, CA.

Thanks, Michelle Mahoney

Hi, I'm not a survivalist but I play one on T.V..

-- SM Steve (Unreal@msn.com), April 01, 2002.

And how soon after the t.v. crew does the SWAT team show up??? Get real, like anyone who was really a survivalist would fall for this??

And show us where you stash all your guns & ammo....all the goodies...

Well my goodness, sign me up....

I can't wait.....

In the interest of self preservation, I attest and hereby do so swear that I am NOT a survivalist. I am, however, anti-social and really hate teevee, so I guess I will not bother signing up for the activities....it just kills me to decline, tho'.

I was going to suggest--- the men that sleep under the bridges in every city, county, and state. They know a lot about survival. Not interested yet ? Try the women with 5 kids down at the battered womens shelter because they know everything about survival !!

If I want to survive, the first thing I'll do is stay off prime time T.V. no matter how much they offer me. Anybody who calls themself a survivalist or is labeled as one has it easy today. Tomorrow may be a different world. Then the label will become instantly famous.

Well, I'm sure they are not looking for a real survivalist anyway. They are looking for a half-baked cracker-brained survivalist wannabee. Better entertainment value that way.
