Tv casting call for any one interested .

[Bluffer]

To be fair, it's a bit of a standing joke that most users of that particular forum have never been anywhere near a Patrol Base so they'd have been lucky to find anyone interested anyway ...

Seeing as I don't intend to apply for Ashley Banjo's street crew anytime soon, I might apply to get my 15 minutes of fame on a desert island instead?

It's being filmed early 2014 from what I can make out?

I wonder if it will be one of those take nothing with you set ups or if you will be aloud to take at least a small pack of handy kit.

 

[Bluffer]

The clothes you are stood in and 'a small survival pack' will be issued.

Unfortunately, I have had to drop out of the selection process for this because I was unable to get 5 weeks off work ... very disappointed as it will be a genuine challenge for the lads who are selected to go.

I had a nice chat with one of the production team and so I knew that I was applying for all the right reasons and had a good chance of getting out there.

Thanks to Woody for signposting it; and good luck to anyone else still in the running, look forward to seeing how the lucky 12 lads get on when it's screened in 2014.

I would love to do this but i dont think my hunting skills are up to bat for it

 

[Bluffer]

Neither are mine mate, I was just planning to fatten myself up and grizz it

 

[nettles150390]

saying that though, desert island and im pretty handy at diving so maybe fishing could be in order, and as for water well theres the sea and theres rubbish gunna be on the island hmmmm maybe

I hope nobody on here is daft enough to sign up for this, we had this a few times on other forums i'm on. the thing to realise is they are there to make a tv programme NOT to make anyone look good, if they can edit it to make someone look a prat they will, its all about ratings and nothing else, don't be a sucker!!!

 

[nettles150390]

i wonder why people are soo worried about looking a prat, you can do that well enough on a night out after a few beers you dont need to be on tv to do it. and just think of the expirence though, getting to go to a desert island to try to survive

 

[VANDEEN]

I'm really hoping to get the job interpreter if Chiseller gets selected, some who have been to Brockers may have already enjoyed a taster ;-)

 

[Hagrid]

getting your gob on tv is not good opsec is it??

What utter rubbish !

 

[Hagrid]

What utter rubbish !

whats rubbish about it? tell that to the bloke in America who once he was on Youtube got raided by the fuzz and got his guns taken away!!

 

[Bluffer]

Mate, they are not looking for zombie-slaying jungle ninjas, they want 12 average blokes to have the trip of a lifetime by meeting the challenge of surviving.

You've missed the deadline now anyway.

Perhaps they should have added "Paranoid Preppers need not apply" ? At least their 'opsec' integrity is maintained that way

ok you lot, have it your own way but watch them look right tossers on the programme cos that's the way it will be edited!!

That rather sounds like he needed to have his guns taken off him !

that's just about the remark I was expecting.

 

[nuggets]

Has anyone who applied ,heard anything`Positive` back from them yet ?? The thought of a `freebie` holiday on a tropical island early next year certainly sounds good from where i`m sitting ,no matter how much a prat they make me look , wish i applied now

Bushcraft and survival fantasists only!
