I don't mind talking but as far as preparations go, I'm just planting fruit trees and converting some woods into gardening space. Pops does that in his sleep.
Anyway if I can help, give me a yell.

DantesPeak, you have a well rounded view and are familiar enough with the type and extent of preps people are doing from hanging out here that I think you would be able to get the message across quite well. I would worry that they are looking more for a Roccman style bugout story to hype though...

VM - Golem Laughing Now that would seal it!

I nominate Jack.

At least it will let the world know that PO preppers are already planning on how to deal with the bodies.

This sounds like something Wolf Blitzer in the Situation Room would cover.

If they are doing multiple people it would be nice if they represented people in different situations. To me, that is what 'preparing' is all about - your local situation.

Thanks. I actually was interviewed in 2005 for a British television program that may be best described as being on the fringe. They made me go to midtown Manhattan for the interview, and I met some Brits. The final product was impressively put together. It was mostly about Iraq war, and its effects on the US dollar and oil supplies.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1oPEfa9Lws

Skimmed over it, looks like a good show. Is that you at 29:30 talking about petrodollars, or are you the blurred out guy at 36:00?

How 'bout Heineken? He can spread the word about Japanese beetles. Or Revi, or Pheba. Thuja.

Dunno about Ebay; for myself - I don't think so! Doubt they're looking for someone who mutters and stammers, for one thing. I have nothing on the dedicated preppers, too.

For the mechanics of the situation I'd second Dante, Pup, Seahorse.

These news people should realize that jetting around the world for frivolous reasons is part of the problem, too.

There's a big difference between the ability to write and the ability to answer live questions on the fly.

Be careful.

Especially when the subject matter could potentially make one look like a kook.

This is all very true. Depends a lot on the attitude of the interviewer too.

Good guess - I am one of those two. I'll PM you.


Yes, it is hard to think on the fly and not say something by mistake that could be misunderstood or come off wrong.

You guys are funny. I get a request to come on tv about 4-5 times a year - usually mainstream outlets like CNN or BBC - and I always turn them down. Of course I haven't owned a TV in 7 years so being seen in it carries no currency or emotional resonance with me. You're not "real" to most Americans until your on the glow box and being identified with making preps is NOT a wise idea. But hey, "ymmv" as the young people say these days.

I've done a few print interviews but I doubt those were even read by 5 people within 50 miles of my current location. Same thing for the Crude AWakening film. Only once have I ever been recognized, and that was by my bus driver who has been into this stuff since the '70s. I knew that was going to go nowhere in the American market as the film makers said they weren't going to give it a happy ending.
