Livin' the Dream
« on: June 14, 2014, 11:00:02 am »
Ladies and gentlemen, I am pursuing my passion and my dream.  I have signed on to host and produce wildlife videos for a new and upcoming free online wildlife channel.  This is the biggest stage I have ever been on and it will be really cool to share the wildlife that we all love with the world.  There's a twist though.  The guy heading this whole thing up really likes how I'm into this primitive stuff as well.  He's wanting me to work in primitive skills/living/how-tos into the shows and even make short extras about primitive stuff.  Now, this channel has the potential to take over animal based media and create a huge stage for me.  If my show is successful I could also be introducing and sparking interests in primitive archery.  So my question for y'all is; how do I introduce that in a fun way, and what sort of primitive things would folks respond to well and are important for them to learn?

This is the channel trailer!  Some of my footage is in there.  Y'all have no idea how excited I am about this!  It comes out In July and my show will be every Friday but once it's up, then it's up forever.

Periodically show some old Tarzan footage. Feature hot ladies and adorable animals.
Don't forget bonding with your buds at knap-in campfires.
All joking aside Tim, "Good on ya" Wishing you all the best.

Tim, I'd say just keep doing what you are doing and what you enjoy. That has worked for you so far. Congratulations! This sounds very cool.  8)

people should see your excitement and the joy/ fun that you get from it, be real, not reality real but truly real, and it might not hurt to climb some trees :D

Very exciting.  I think Pat's advice is good, but I'll think about it and I'm sure things will evolve.  Looking forward to watching!

  I go with pats advice also, great opportunity you have, just be yourself. That show I did all they wanted to do was get the cast member fighting with each other. I told them where  to stick it. I agree with you thinking the audience for this is huge.

Too cool Tim ! Best of luck, but I don't think You'll need it - just let Your passion for the sport show thru. Bob

Congrats Tim, that is awesome. If you need a stunt double I am sure Bonepile will volunteer. May be repetitive to you but many of your videos should get you plenty of ideas and they are interesting. Good luck

Best of luck Tim! Be yourself. Anyone  serious about your topics will see right through you if you try to  BS , and try to bring you down. If you are the same straight shooter you are on here , you'll do just fine.  Be careful of the cross overs from animals to primitive skills. Most people looking for animal videos don't want to know we kill and eat them ;) .Have fun!

I don't know if you saw it tonight but a dude on American Ninja Warrior wore a Tarzan loin cloth and beat his chest while uttering Ahaa, Ahaaa walala!
For real. He had a good time on the course too.
