BULLOCH COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - The owners and employees of a Bulloch County company could soon be household names when their reality show debuts on Netflix this weekend.
The guys at Battlbox arenβt sure if theyβll be the next Myth Busters or Duck Dynasty. But they hope they can set Netflix and the streaming world on fire like many of their videos.
The preview for βSouthern Survivalβ sounds like an action-adventure movie. The team from Battlbox, a subscription box company, have done product videos for years and that helped get them on the radar of a production company.
βItβs an unscripted show, but they point us in the right direction a couple of times. None of us are actors or actresses, for that matter,β said Daniel Dabbs, CEO of Battlbox.
They filmed last year on their site in Bulloch County that included helicopters, explosions, all kinds of scenarios where just the right gadget could help you survive.
βYou might use a product not in the way it was intended. If it survives that, you figure it will work the other way too, right? So we were like, βyeah lets do this,ββ said Brandon Currin, Vice President of Battlbox.
They take products through the paces and evaluate what works and what doesnβt, whether its fighting off wild animals or other disaster.
βWe hope in a roundabout way people say βhey, those guys look like theyβre having fun and theyβre doing cool stuff.ββ
They hope it gets more people out enjoying the great outdoors, and to do it ready for anything.
All eight episodes debut on Netflix this Friday.
