TV Show "Destination Truth" looking for Amphibs in S.C.

[Mike]

Karl Golden, a location manager for the SyFy channel's TV show "Destination Truth" contacted me and asked me to put the word out there to see if any of you would be interested in renting your AATV to them to use in the show. They will be filming in Bishopville, South Carolina next week (Oct. 24-25) and need your ATVs to haul their film equipment.

You can see some episodes of the show here: Hulu - Search

They are doing a show on the the Scape Ore Swamp (Lizard Man) and will be filming near a shallow stream and swamp. They are going in and camping overnight.

Here is an excerpt of Karl's email to me, "...I would like to put an APB out to all your members in SC who would be willing to rent us their AATVs. We will cover with insurance. I assure you the investigation team will not be rough with the vehicles, as they will be carrying camera and sound equipment, and other hi-tech equipment that they do not want to get soaked.

Please call me for more details. I think having the aatvs in the show would add a lot to the "Fun Factor" of this series..."

If you would like to participate contact Karl directly on his cell phone or via email:

If you do participate let me know asap and I will be happy to send you a free bumper sticker to get the site some exposure. That would be a great way to get the word out about our hobby.

Cool!

Will they be in the show too? or just transporting them and camera, etc to the scene?

My favorite show!!

From the way Karl's email reads I believe they will be in the show.

One of the "shticks" of the show is quirky transportation that gets set up for them. Like a junky old boat in Indonesia. the Host Josh likes to drive the stuff and makes a big deal of it. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a segment about the vehicles in the show. Lewis? McCoy? Robbie?

Destination Truth

Karl Golden here, thought I'd join up to communicate directy...

Yes, the amphibs will be a featured segment of the show. Josh's team will ride up thru a stream to reach our overnight investigation site, where they will set up camp and use all their night vision, infrared and oher sensitive equipment.

Those of you that know the show will understand that a key element to the show is "getting there" in fun and exciting ways.

I found a location yesterday that is just screaming for amphibs.

You SC members need to call me!

Hey Karl

Just wanted to say that I love the show and the fun you guys have doing the investigation. Josh cracks me up with is dialog. Got me thinking what SC delicacy is will you find for the crew to eat. Good luck with the filming it will be great to see some of the machines on the show

[McCoy]

Hmmmm, my baby on TV. I think there might be a good chance that the Bigfoot has a TV personality.

[LarryW]

Personally I think it would be so sweet to watch the machines I read/look at daily on a public tv show!!!

[Joe M]

Hey Robbie,
Maybe they'll let you go along, just to keep an eye on Josh as he drives in to the Swamp? I do know how you feel though.
