Cowboy jeans are going to do you exactly how much good at those in those conditions? A fire like that could indeed leave you standing there in your shorts.
When I watched it the first two things that occured to me were:

1) Fire is to be feared above all other things, so making damned certain that it does not happen is a Very Good Idea and:
2) Having either a Bail Out Bag with warm clothing and shelter gear right by the door, or Gear stashed away from the cabin, preferably up wind and in a dug in, flame resistant container is also a Very Good Idea.


Ok, for the record: I like Dual Survival. I think that it has serious teaching value because staging the scenarioes given drives home the point that Lack of Proper Preparation May Cause An Acute Case Of Death.

Neither David or Cody pull their punches or sugar coat just how serious it could get.

One final point: When this series was first mooted, I was one of the people who recommended David for it. Something that I have absolutely no regrets over doing.
