I think I saw season one of this Pioneer series. Quite an eye opener as to how difficult it would be to rebuild, or forge a new life from scratch. They weren't trying to get rich easy, but try to start a new life in "the new frontier". I enjoyed it because it made me think.
If I didn't have a family who has no interest, I'd volunteer, IF I had more knowledge.
Bacpac: Are you referring to the Pioneer Quest series from some years ago about the 2 couples who did a year long pioneer living stint in Manitoba?
As for volunteering for these types of shows, my friend and his wife applied for spot on a similar type show about 6-7 years ago but they were turned down as the production company was only accepting people from the USA due to various legal reasons...
