HI guys.
After 6 years research Ive finally applied for funding an archeological/historic research expedition to national geographic.
Most of the theoretical research has been done, but seen as the expedition is planned to start april 2014 till the start of june 2014. it leaves a bit of time for final tidying. and preparation of the primary paper work.
if funding goes through a national geographic media team will be part of the expedition.
Obviously the team will have to be made up of people who have qualifications in fields of study relevant to the expedition subject matter.
some of the work may be carried out from a chartered vessel some but the majority will be land based.
aside from the nat geo team im planning on a number no greater than ten individuals myself included.
Ive never planned anything of this level before, and as far as i can see im looking for individuals who have expertise/ qualifications in these areas.
Interest in archeology and history essential!!!
Tropical medicine and disease prevention and treatment. i think the skill level required would be gp. or nurse.
Qualified and licenced open water divers. two of.
Experienced and qualified climbers at least two of the team.
Person with experience in ground survey and navigation. credentials important.
Person with knowledge of 17th century sailing practices.
I am also looking for sponsership from companys which supply major expedition equipment and supplies.
because the more sponsership I can get the less I have to ask nat geo for.
I was at a loss as to where to find such people then realised many bushcrafters have such qualifications and experience.
The exact location and purpose of this expedition cannot be revealed at this time but a rough idea of destination is allowed
southeast asia and possibly the coast of africa.
if any members have the relevant expertise and would like to be considered for inclusion on this expedition. please contact me.
I cant guarantee everyone a place but no doubt some of the team will be members of this forum.
note to moderators if this post is in the wrong place please would you move it for me.
Thank you all GB
