Sooo....if one were playing around with writing about helicopter pilots and photojournalists and getting lost in the wilderness and stuff...where would y'all suggest looking for inspiration/facts/etc???
Seee, I have this vision in my head of AU!Jared&Jensen wherein Jared is this rugged mountain man type and makes a living guiding city boys and girls around Alaska/Australia/some other wild and remote setting; and Jensen is this rich, trust fund boy who rebels against his parents by making an actual living as a nature photographer (maybe working for National Geographic, or maybe it's more of a hobby IDEK OKAY?) only Jensen is actually useless in the outdoors except behind a Nikon 847 (yeah I totes made that up)and he needs Jared to like. Pertekt him from bears and his own case of too much curiosity and stuff, and I want to be like. Factual and shit. And Misha is totes going to be in it as Jared's co-pilot or something, and be all zen and awesome and stuff. Because he is MISHA! <3
ETA: And it may or may not take place in like, the 1960's or something. *headdesk*
ANYWAY. MAI BRAIN! EET'S SKEERY

Also it gives a whole lot of insight into what it takes to survive in the wilderness. :0)
