I have a confession, I did talk to the producer. While on the phone I did comment about regional knowledge and the such. The person assured me that they would pair teams together with complementary skills.

Though it is a man and a woman supposedly alone naked in the woods.

I was interested, until the naked part came up then I was left thinking, "well if they put me on it, it would go from survival show to horror movie!"

LOL!

Survival "experts" who are willing to be the Naked Survivors, is a tiny universe.

So are these people supposed to be the new Adam and Eve? Or is the premise that a bear ran off with their clothes while they were preoccupied?

I heard that not only would the contestants be naked, but the filming would be in Minnesota in winter. George Costanza was not available for comment.

Hmmm. If it's like most Hollywood stories, the woman would be attractive while the man would be kind of gnarly. This could be my big break...in more ways than one! laugh

This just sounds more wrong the more I hear! Naked in the woods and having to survive? Hmmm, sounds like they packed too light to begin with.

I am sure they'll do the show, it sounds like a lot of the other garbage on air these days.

What is the name of the show? How about "Hanging Out In The Wild". No, that's wrong too. What has this world come to.

Ahahaha Chaos! Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

But seriously: I think the problem with these shows is that they can give some inexperienced people the impression that they can trek into any wilderness without having a minimum of necessities. I.e., "I don't need to pack a lighter. I'll just make a bow and drill to make a fire like (insert reality show personality) does." "I don't need to pack extra heavy water; worst case scenario, I can always drink my own urine."

It boggles the mind, frankly...
