I never planned on being on a reality show but they convinced me "it is going to be a more realistic reality/documentary type show".
I got an email a year ago to guide a camera crew on a shoot for a pilot show. At the end of that day they asked if I was interested in joining the group to go to Greenland. I went, and now the show airs on Animal Planet April 21 at 10PM EST.
Commercials for the show are airing now on A/P and Discovery channel.

As with most things on TV, what actually happened and what you see on the air are quite different. I have not seen anything other than the commercial so I have no idea how good/bad it will be.

The show name is ICE COLD GOLD.Watch for it.

(I was such an asshole to the production crew... liberal somabitches!)

im kinda floored that the animal planet would even consider any type of mining show! maybe the Kuruks might be turning the other cheeck??? naa, that might be asking tooooo much!

Hey! There'll be none of that!
I'm just another dub... whether I'm lucky or not remains to be seen.

If someone ask you to go prospecting someplace intriguing and going to pay you a little money to boot, you would have gone too!

I figure I got a paid vacation without putting a year of work in... *grin*

Russ, I've been guiding since 1989, and been on the web since 1997. The exec.director found my name and emailed me.
Originally was hired to guide for a day, turned into two. They thought I'd be a good fit and asked if I'd go.
I told them no twice...
