Default New Reality Series coming... "The Brigade"

Saw this new show had a casting call that finished in May. I wish they advertised these better. I bet very few heard about this among AO 's members. If I was younger I would have tried out for a shot at the million dollar prize. I'll bet there's a handful or two of AO members that would have tried out too.

This should be a better show than "Alone" because these competitors will be canoeing from Jasper to Lake Winnipeg via the Athabasca river for part of the way. The route of the old fur brigades 200 years ago.

It will be on the Outdoor Channel.

It's a 2600 mile fur trade canoe route originally known as the York Factory Express...from the Oregon coast, through 4 Canadian provinces, two mountain ranges and 5 river systems ending at Hudson's Bay in Manitoba. The Brigade will have 10 strangers with a 10 week deadline.
I met a gal that did the route from Edmonton to Hudson's Bay in the 70's with a group and it took over 3 months and was a bunch of headaches.
