National Geographic CASTING CALL for Preppers

CASTIING CALL FOR PREPPERS

I am the Casting Director for Doomsday Preppers on Nat Geo TV and we are currently casting for Season 3. 

Our goal is to educate our viewers about preparedness and provide important prepping takeaways.

I think that you would be great for our show. This is such a great opportunity for any prepper.

Contact info removed by thatGuy

I look forward to hearing back from you!

My best,
Brooklyn Bagwell

I don't know about y'all... but I nominate Reaver as the poster-boy for straightprep.  O0

C'mon Reaver... Go ahead and get you some of that 15 minutes of fame.

And be sure to let their cameras see your giant stockpile of BBQ sauce.  [url=http://yoursmiles.org/p-m

If you want even a chance in hell of anyone being dumb enough to go embarrass themselves on that show you better put the amount paid down. If it has several digits you might get a bite. Id hate to ruin the shows usual "Exactly what not to do" theme with halfway decent advice stirred in Reality TV shit water.

I advise you all to give this shit a wide berth lest they paint you with the same brush as they did Desarti1.

Fuck NatGeo.

I agree... But wouldn't it be fun to put on an outrageously ridiculous pre-planned show/act for their cameras... sort of an inside joke for the prepper community... just to make natgeo look like idiots who got played when we later confess to the act?

Yeaaah buddy!  I'm still waiting for them to make some steel-toe crocs with mud/ice grip treads.  All you croc-a-phobes don't know what you're missing.

Pretty sure it's a woman. And she has been visiting other prepper forums trying to get any takers for NG, right or wrongly. She should've contacted TG before posting stuff though.

here's an idea.

someone take the NG bait. once filming starts, you lay down all you're legit prepper knowledge, and DON'T look like a fucking psyco moron...

at some point before filming is over, have a brief sit-down with whoever's in charge and let them know very clearly: "if you edit this in any way to portray me in a way that is misleading, I'm going to sue the piss out of you"

we may just have our first legit episode of doomsday preppers.  ;)

Legit Prepper and not looking like a phsyco is impossible to the sheeple. No good can come from being on that show. Every single person who knows you now knows all about you and your shit.

Like Ken said, you'd be blowing your OPSEC out the window for what? So NatGeo could make a buck making you look like a wacko?

No fucking thanks!

I think this sounds like a fantastic opportunity for anyone who does not expect to need their preps.  All those people out there packing away 5 gallon buckets of wheat and beans to "keep up with the Jones's" should be sprinting in their high heals, tripping over their hazmat bunny suits for the chance to show the world their hidden caches, pricey equipment, clockwork daily routines, and trick knees. 

Unfortunately, TG and I will have to refrain from the limelight since all we have are a few cans of corn and a baseball bat to share between the two of us, but that shouldn't discourage any of you from pursuing the glamorous life of a celebrity prepper. 

I'm hoping for TG-family reality show. Now that would be some fine television.  :))

You'd think that would be exciting, but it's not.  The whole show would be like if you looped the first 10 seconds of this video clip (minus the banjo) to span 30 minutes...
