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 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. _________________ shame on us, doomed from the start

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.

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. _________________ Cogito, ergo non satis bibivi

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

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. |
