I wouldn't want to be in a survival situation in the northwoods with no shoes, it isn't stupid for Cody to do it. His feet are used to it. One thing I can say is Cody Lundlin will put his money where his mouth is. A buddy of mine trained with him in Arizona about 13 years ago; they really do head off into the desert to live with him for two or three months with virtually no gear at all. Cody wouldn't let them take a knife, no matches, nothing. He initially didn't even want my buddy to take his hearing aids, iirc! And he didn't slink off at night to a Super-8, he was right there with them, eating bugs and squeezing water out of a cactus! I think no sane person would go into a potential survival situation without some gear, but I think it's a great idea to know how to survival with nothing but the clothes on your back. If you can do it with nothing, a tarp, a knife & some paracord will feel like a luxury.

I can tell Dave knows his stuff, but I have a problem with his recklessness. Cody seems to have a better temperment is more analytical. But after two episodes I feel Dave Canterberry has a much more well rounded skills set than Lundlin. Rappelling, climbing, apparently caving- he can do it all.

The one thing I really don't like about the show is the typical reality show, fake conflict BS they cook up. I seriously believe that the friction between the two of them was largely an invention of the producers. Still, I've really been enjoying the show so far.

I think Dave & Cody are Awesome in their own rights,Respectively!Put together for this show is a Treat! I also don't care for the bickering part but,It could actually be factual,rather than Producer induced,as these two are So Very different from one another.Yet they combine so Damned well,No matter the Element!This is Truly Rare form,I hope they get Excellent Ratings,So to keep this type of program Alive & running for more seasons to come.

Agreed! I just finished watching the Belize episode a few minutes ago, also very good.
