Why not combine opportunities?

You could almost kill yourself with hypothermia on Extreme Survival ... then hop over to Bar Rescue Season 3 for a good martini. Hmmm ... maybe skip the ice, bartender :-)

Lauren,
A survivalist is bunker buildind,gun hoarding,rice and bean eating,tin foil hat wearing type.It is a term we try to avoid here.The very word is considered an insult to many on this board."Elite survival experts"are men like;Mors Kochanski,Larry Dean Olsen and John Lofty Wisman.They are the Elite through a lifetime of study.Their experience is more than the age bracket you are looking for.And "reallity TV" has ran its course.The networks should try to produce a show that actually teaches some thing.Instead they placate to the lowest denominator.

I hate "reality" TV as well, and there is not much else on lately that I like. Why would anyone with a reasonably stable and good job give it up for a very questionable shot and a questionable fame (or notoriety)?

Complete detatchment from objective reality is my only guess.

IMO, while genuine survival experts may choose to do hard-core trips to test technique as well as physical and mental stamina, they will be first to lecture you on rule #1: the best way to handle a survival situation is to avoid getting into one in the first place.

But that makes for lousy TV. Sorry.

Didn't you try out for something about 2 years ago?

Don't we have a maximum try-out per member?!? whistle

I'm pretty sure my job won't give me time off, so I'm out!

Yep, "The Colony II". This is the same production company. Last time the deal was $10,000 for ten weeks away from my family and job. Fools, I would have offered them $15,000! laugh
