I knew i would fall asleep just before it started , DANG IT

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

Dual Survival - Shipwrecked (part 1)

Just think ----- If Sarge had not edited the OP and Ken then scared the OP away ---- we might have watched one of you on the show last night.

You missed a great show. I rarely watch the other shows but I like this one.

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.

Hey Hypnotist - Why not hypnotize yourself to go over to our introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself?

Just finished watching on youtube, First of all, AWSOME shelter ! how long were they out there ?

**Rick** · 06-12-2010, 11:31 AM

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?

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!

**crashdive123** · 06-12-2010, 01:21 PM

I really enjoyed it. It is clear that they are both skilled. I like the sort of teaching format that the show takes on. I also really liked that when one thought the other was doing something stupid that they pointed it out. I guess each week will be in a different environment. 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.

**Rick** · 06-12-2010, 07:36 PM

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.
Who actually thinks that when put into a survival situation it will go according to plan or have to work with someone totally opposite from you.
