Survivor--for REAL


Hello everyone, my name is Nathan Martinez, and I would like to gauge the public's interest in a project I am working on.

I will be conducting a groundbreaking experiment in human adaptability and endurance, documenting the odyssey of an attempt by a group of modern people to recreate the conditions experienced by the earliest humans.

For one year, a group of volunteers will do something that has not been attempted with success before: live ENTIRELY by hunting and gathering wild foods using only early Paleolithic technology or less. The project will be documented in detail by small cameras mounted on the participants--the ultimate reality show! In addition to creating a documentary, a nutritional study will be conducted to analyze caloric intake and expenditure and discover seasonal fluctuations.

Promotional Extract:
Could you live like your "stone-age" ancestors did? Not just for a few days or weeks, but for a year, for a lifetime? Not just barely escaping death, but truly thriving? For years many people have asked this question--We want to find the answer.

Join us as we challenge the limits of our endurance in the ultimate test of survival

ONE YEAR
water, food, clothing, shelter and tools not provide
--Just your will to survive.

Objectives:
*Gain unique insight through personally experiencing the physical, social and emotional reality of daily living within a small foraging band.

*Raise young people's awareness of foraging cultures and bring international attention to the plight of modern-day subsistence hunters and gatherers.

Why not just film people that still live like that? You know, the ones that are on the NatGeo documentaries?
