Krull I like your ideas were are you located we should meet up and converse about it, I have a friend who made a video about graffiti and had todo a lot of editing so he may be able to help but it's not his type of subject. Maybe this could be a group activity were afew of us from different areas do a segment each week send it to the editor and and get a copy of it to see how we like it before it is put on youtube

Krull, Newcastleprepper - Indeed doing youtube allows you to be in charge of your presentation and plenty of people do it, I've enjoyed many such videos. I've thought about doing it myself though I'm also a fan of opsec to which you throw out the door once you've put your face to the world in that way. That might be fine for you, it might not be and it might be worth it to you or not.
If you're anywhere near each other I 'highly' encourage meeting up [to anyone] as the learning and sharing of ideas are superb, we've got a good little group down here in Vic that's going strong because of it.

I know on OzPrep, before this site I believe, Pete (owner/admin) did some media about prepping! I'll blame the editing, but it made him out to be a nutcase, and I think the media treated it/him as a joke. (This was my take on it, and if wrong, apologies to all concerned). Regardless, lets look at Doomsday Preppers, the tv show - seriously - how many people are made out to be 'normal'  I bet editing has a lot to do with what they portray. But, on the flip side, 'normal' isn't newsworthy, so why do a show about normal preppers - let's make them out to be nut cases, and get more views!!!! I'd trust the media like I would trust a junkie with my life's savings!!!!! (Not that they'd have much to look after!!) Exactly the reason we wouldn't let the lame stream media within cooee of the show.
As I suggested, to a youtube series, only people allowed to be involved would be sensible preppers. front and back of house.
LOL Channel 10 is now broke and facing liquidation, they might be up for some not so expensive content.. Watching news last night mostly for the UK burning event. They were saying some of the celebrity actors were being paid up to 400,000 to appear on a reality survival show. Doing the real deal at a low budget might be attractive to them. |

I feel that prepping is becoming more popular and we do not yet have an Australian preppers show. This frustrates me as I want to learn what ideas people have about prepping specifically in Australia and survival in the Australian wilderness. i feel such a show would include but not restricted to talking to Australian preppers have segments about what it edible animal and plant related speaking to aboriginal people who practice there native hunting traditions going to different parts of the country and doing a minimum of a weeks survival in the wilderness maybe even set challenges by viewers eg.. I'd like to see how you survive in the north east of nsw with a machete a bow a knife a large pot a small knife and 2 metres of para cord.. It would involve making shelter finding food water and starting a fire and maybe other things requested by the viewers or known to be good survival tips in the area. Other things that may be included and possibly at viewer request is prepping on a budget eg. How to make a primative kit with $200 Can anybody tell me how to get this started I contacted the abc with my idea but they did not reply. i would also find it interesting to find out if other people would be interested in such a show Prepping and preparedness is much more mainstream. Shows like Alone, survivor man, duel survival get a lot of viewers, it is not just people mocking. In Australia people respect thost that have good bush skills. Those shows are very expensive to make. I would think as 'Pete' was saying starting with disaster preparedness mostly urban environment - power outage - how to get home, terrorist attack, fire, vehicle break down outside of the city. Emergency kit people should have and what are minimum skill sets. The move into more hardcore prepping for TEOTWAWKI - mad max type event. I am very close to your area - are you still keen to progress your ideas... |

Channel 31 in Victoria is community station. It's a bit like a backyard version of SBS. Programs like the fishing show, mans world ETC made their starts here.
Are there any in your location OP?

Channel 10 is now broke and facing liquidation... I reckon that's a ploy by Murdock and ?? to blackmail the gov into changing the ownership rules. When they change they'll buy back in and get a larger market share. Anyway I've been in front of the cameras many times, my OPSEC is well blown in many ways  |

... I wanted the show to be an honest portrayal of a relatively normal Australian prepper. My main concern was to protect the identity of those involved and to ensure we weren't portrayed as nutters, ... I'd be in that if it ever comes to pass. |

"Ozzie Preppers Season 1 Episode 6: Today we observe as Pasta Deefa cryovac's ten kilo's of white rice, disaster strikes as he realises that he forgot to pickup the oxygen absorbers from the post office box."
ZZZZZZzzzzzzz......
The only prepping tv you will realistically see is the idiots who mistake being overly obsessed shooting enthusiasts for disaster preparedness. "Got no torch or Ibuprofen 'cause I spent all my money on tricking up my Remington 7615 to look like the AR15 I wish I owned. Hey!, Who's seen my balaclava?"

What about a Prepper campout involving a few preppers. How many days/weeks can a prepper survive out of their bug out bag. You would need to bring enough BOB like food. (it wouldn't be a survival show).
Episode One
The usual interview of contestants. Then a shot of the spot where the campout will occur. A montage of Utes etc driving from various places to the start and then shots of them walking along track to spot.
Introductions etc Setting up of campsite etc.
Episode Two
Frostbite arrives first and checks out the site and then turns as the sound of someone else can be heard down the track
It turns out to be Graynomad. Well this is awkward! There are rumours amongst the prepper community that Gray and Frost have had a falling out after Frost hinted that Gray was not quiet "Normal!"
(This is where you bring the conflict in.)
Episode Three
We are introduced to Pasta Deefa who has brought 10 Kgs of cryovacd rice. He may just win this thing!
We are also introduced to Jay who for some reason has turned up in a pink Tutu.
Episode Four
Remmy is to be parachuted in to the spot bringing in some fresh supplies. Yeahhhhh riiighhttt......Stuff that idea..... I ;m staying at home to watch you all.
Episode Five
........mmmmm!

Would it be more viable to make an Aftermath show or series (kind of like an Aus "Blackout" doco) only based on actual events - like TC Yasi, or Tracy, Black Saturday, Brisbane flooding or Earthquakes etc
Probably in a similar vein - re-enactments "living through" the drama, interspersed with news bulletins, people holed up trying to get updates etc
This way it's still dramatic and watchable but can include ideas and teaching points (like in the Blackout series, e.g. why OpSec matters). Which I think would be the purpose of such an undertaking

I noticed in the OP the original post mentioned Indigenous knowledge; this seems to be an element that's mostly added as an afterthought, in keeping with the idea that the centre of Australia is still Terra Nullius (it isn't). But I guess Indigenous Australians and prepping is a whole nother thread... anyone with opinions or who is Indigenous, I'd love to hear what your take on everything is

I think as most of you have pointed out my idea is rather futile and would not air as I intended it to it would just be made into a joke takeing the piss out of anyone involved wich is the last thing any of us want. I must apologise that if not been active for some time but I have not lost intrest in prepping. I have formed a small group although I must admit that they are half assed on the idea or don't have enough time to do things as a group but we are slowly making progress. I have improved my kit I now have a webbing vest with many pockets to put my items and distributes weight rather well I have built up a collection of knives for all purposes and a kit to butcher things I may kill and got to try it out on some turkeys which were delicious. I have obtained a dune buggy as a bug out vehicle I need to get a chain and fix the breaks and she will be good to go but only a 2seater but will hold most of my items and another member of my group is working on a motorbike wich doesn't hold much but will help. I have upgraded my bow to a pse stinger. I need to work on seeds and water purification hunting skills bushcraft and building shelter I have watched a lot on youtube about these things but that's not the same as doing it. I would like to invite any people in newcastle or surrounded areas to join our group as we need some fresh minds and ideas to really further our group and start getting somewhere with it we have a good little group with great potential but they are following me and a mate and we are not experienced enough to teach the others all they need to know

Over the last year or so prepping has become more mainstream. I one had to do a show on bush fire survival, or storm without power for a few day, global disaster like war in east Asia and no fuel in Australia for 2 months. One could get national TV coverage and favorable portrayal.
I am in Lake Macquarie; I have a few loose friends that prep but no group formed. I am looking at more bug in in initially – but am interested in all the bushcraft side of things as well. We should meet up some time.

ncp - don't agree that it would be futile, it's just that we are all very suspicious of the media and how we would be portrayed.
It is a good idea, IF, and only IF, we had control over the filming, editing etc.
Who knows, maybe this is the start of a new show "MyPrep" - where each week someone holding a camera goes through their path to preparedness!!
(If this takes off, I want first dibs at the groupies).
