C4: Do you live off the land?Hi thereFirstly to introduce myself - my name is Claire Braden and I am a first-time director who has just been commissioned my first half hour film. I am making it about people who are very good at saving money and being frugal. The reason I have come on this site is because I want to find someone who can show me how they largely survive without going to spend money in supermarkets etc. Do any of you know of anyone who largely lives off the land? I am featuring 4 or 5 people in the half hour film - so it is just a 5 minute portrait of someone who has achieved this way of living. I would love it if you could put me in touch with them. My contact details are tel: 0207 482 5885 or email claire.braden@zkktv.com Thanks for your help - please do let me know about anyone suitable and then they can decide if it is for them or not.

There are lots of suitable people here, Claire, most of us try and avoid the supermarkets as much as possible I think, and many who wouldn't go near one if you paid them, but I can't think of many who would go on a TV programme about it I'm afraid...even though they would make very interesting viewing 
Welcome, btw

Hi Happy, and welcome!
It's great that you are so enthusiastic about your project; but by posting virtually the same thing on a number of different threads, you are effectively spamming. You'd probably get a more positive response if you just put your request up the once and then joined in the general conversation so that people can get to know you. What's your background in living frugally? Do you have any practical experience living that way yourself? |
