I am really looking forward to seeing this show and seeing how each of the two implement their skills and knowledge.
Dual Survival
Premieres Friday, June 11 at 10m ET/PT
Meet military-trained Dave Canterbury and naturalist Cody Lundin - trained survival experts featured in Discovery Channel's all-new 10-part series DUAL SURVIVAL. Together, they take on some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain to demonstrate how the right skills and some creative thinking can keep you alive

I've been on Dave's site for awhile. Very informative, I don't post much just read.
Didn't see your post till now WE, forum refresh thing.
Anyhoo, I was watching the one minute clips on the discovery site and it seems like it might be yet another drama filled "reality" show. With Dave complaining about Cody and his bare feet, or socks, and Cody scolding Dave for walking off in the cold night to check traps. LOL!
Bush Hippy! LOL! That was pretty funny.
I don't know! I hope it will be good though.
LOL, Ha ha, Yes, I seen that too,, ( Chuckle )Quote:

Move over Bear & Les, it's the "Dave & Cody show!" Just freakin' great! Both guys are top-notch Survival teachers yet are from different schools of training! Cody is the primitive guy who goes bare-foot almost all the time & wears shorts, no long trousers, no matter where he is. Tonight they were on an island near Nova Scotia in the Boreal Forest area with temps down to 20 degrees, so Cody gave in & wore socks, but still no shoes! Dave, on the other hand, comes out of the military & utilizes more modern methods. Both had to rely on the other despite their different backgrounds, in order to survive, & that's just what they did! No "running around Willy-Nilly," but "hunkering down" in their shelter until rescued! So far, I like it! :clap: :clap: :clap: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :cool2:
The first episode was good, it focused on giving you a feel for the two guys. Both men have a lot of skills, I believe the show has potential. I'm looking forward to seeing more.
Very cool show. Much more informtive and less theatrical than other survival shows.
Hello Ladies and Gentlemen!
I'm excited to join this esteemed forum primarily because of the new Discovery program being discussed here. I want to say that I very much enjoyed the first installment of Dual Survival! So much so that I researched the more "Earthy" co-host and his credits via his website. Ironically, he lives next door in Arizona...a high desert dweller, like me. It's more interesting that he has over 500 posts here. That says A LOT about this forum and the credibility of its members. Much respect to you good folks!
Anyway...Great program featuring a captivating "Odd Couple" angle. Loved the different perspectives, approaches and the natural conflicts that arose as a result; real conflicts that were overcome with the grace and style of true gentleman. This program is a winner, IMHO. I'll be watching...I know many others will, as well.
Again...Greetings...It's a pleasure being here!
I knew i would fall asleep just before it started , DANG IT :blushing: :(
watching the first episode now on youtube
i agree with Cody's " back to nature " attitude, but only in the summer
the only question i have is concerning the camera crew
i don't think these two are doing a " Les Stroud " and doing the camera work themselves
so that means someone else ( with their own food ) is available in a dire survival situation
i love the back and forth chatter between the two survival styles

I am just finishing the first episode right now (DVR). Having read his book, Cody's laid back attitude comes across more on TV than in the book. I really enjoyed the show. I especially liked the shelter that Cody made. Anyone ever try that?
Looking forward to next week.
I thought the show was really good and I like the aspect of showing the two different mind sets/styles. I just hope they stay focused on these styles and try not to introduce drama into the show.
I am watching the show for what I can learn, not drama.
LOL, I am watching it now on youtube, There is a link to the complete play list in my post above, Thanks to C-G for the tip to look on youtube :)Quote:

Just finished watching on youtube, First of all, AWSOME shelter ! how long were they out there ?
Thanks for that link. I hadn't caught the show but did watch the whole thing on Youtube. Very cool. I really like the concept and the format. Really good to see a couple of Alpha Dogs working together as a team, too. I agree with JC, that was a great shelter. I was like Dave, had my doubts at first but I guess Cody knows his stuff.
I re-watched the show this morning and was even more impressed than I was the first time. It seemed the first time around my attention was on the personalities of the two men. I would guess that's because I was familiar with the skills that were being presented. But this morning I focused on the skills, and realized they did present a lot of material in a short time. The show was entertaining and informative. Not every angle of a survival situation can be covered in a one hour show, but they covered many of them. IMO it's a very good show and I have no problem recommending it.
You should know, Rick, you gave a great review of his book, remember? :sneaky2: I thought it was great the way they had to work together, despite their different Survival backgrounds. That was a very important point to make! :cool2:Quote:

It seems that they each had their doubts about the other at the start, but seemed to gain some respect for each other as they progressed.
JIC - looks like just a couple of nights.
Not a bad show. The only trouble I had with it was the clash of personalities. There was as much about that as there was about the skills each were bringing to the situation.
I shot a note to Discovery Communications and let them know that I liked the show and they were on the right track. I think it's important to let the producers know they have a good show. The more of us that do that perhaps the more they will want to produce real life survival shows rather than those hokey survival game shows or the theatrical Bear type crap. I emphasized the fact that more and more people were enjoying the wilderness and outdoor sports and true survival skills were actually needed. Maybe it will do some good. Who knows? Probably ought to write to the sponsors as well.
That's what I like about it, an army ranger and a hippy put into a survival situation and forced to work together.Quote:

I was amazed at Cody walking around on the snow barefoot. Nativedude would be so proud. (sniff. wipes tear).
He wore socks :innocent:
Here is what Cody Lundin had to say about the show , http://codylundin.com/survive_tv.html
