Bushcraft and survival fantasists only!

Indeed, but I doubt anyone here seriously applied.

I had the online application form from them (I can hardly walk to the bloody shop these days let alone survive on an island but got it out of curiosity) and it was very simple so how they sifted through the applicants I've no idea.

So if we remove 99.99% of bushcrafters and the paranoid preppers (hereafter known as PP's) I do wonder just who will get the role(s). I suspect hefty injections of steroids, pumping up at the gym and learning to pant for breath whilst speaking (listen to Bear G) may well help in a successful application; ponytails, beards and bandanna's optional.

You will need to remove your shirt, shave your chest so you look pre-pubescent, and submit to a lobotomy I suspect

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

They have screened applicants and are interviewing them now, anyone who gets selected after that will be subject to non-disclosure.

Don't expect to see any 'survival experts' selected, they are looking for average blokes. I think I was borderline deselected because of a low-level background of skills.

The lads chosen will be trained in the basics before they are dumped on the island and left to crack on.

well a hope it is full of down to earth blokes with a `bit of grit ` about them

I could dress up as a bear and come & visit would be like being back when you were prospecting again.
Yo bear,..... Yo Nuggets

dressing up as toddy with a shaved chest might be more appealing

don't expect bushcrafters or serious survival people to be picked, its a TV PROGRAMME after all, they'll pick a load of "couch potatoes" and TOWIE rejects, it'll look more like the cast of The Big Brother house than anything resembling a serious programme on survival.
