Huntington, WV (HNN) – Would you like to display your “survival” skills on a new adventure docu-series that’s slated for a high profile cable network?
 
Unlike other reality shows, the pairs and trios cast will transplant the cast to the beautiful yet challenging world of Alaska. A nationwide search starts next month for brave adventurers willing to face the snow and cold.
 
According to the press release from Pam Haynes of the W.Va. Film Office, those selected for the cast will be given assistance by a wilderness survival expert who will teach basic skills such as building shelter, preparing for the cold, gathering food and hunting.
 
Ricochet Television, the producers of the popular “Supernanny” and “Fat March” series are the creators of the new total immersion TV concept.
