Anybody watching/have watched Dual Survival with Cody Lundin and Joe Teti? Thoughts?

I gave up on it. It wasn't any more realistic than it was with Dave, and it wasn't fun for me any more.

I actually enjoy the show, especially looking at the different thought processes of two individuals with widely varied backgrounds and their reasons behind what they are doing. Have to admit ignoring the occasional nonsense is a bit annoying.

Never could stomach Bear Grylls. Too much of the stuff he more or less advocated doing in a lone survival situation were beyond ridiculous.

I also gave up on it.

I am used to arguments of the sort, "You're wrong and I'm right. No, I'm right and you're wrong." That's OK.

But what I had started hearing was, "You're wrong and I'm right and you're stupid." Can't stand that.

if only ray mears would do another series....

I actually liked Dual Survival. Sure, there was some odd and questionable stuff in there, but I found it entertaining none-the-less. Lots of times I found myself thinking, what would I do in such a situation? (no matter how contrived for TV the situation was)

I liked Cody and Dave, I was worried when Dave left and Joe came on, but that turned out to be OK because I liked Cody and Joe too. I'm not sure what the show will be like without Cody however, if it even continues. I could identify with Cody's way of thinking the most (except for that barefoot thing).

When Dave was on,him and Cody would make a point of teaching.Since Joe came on I haven't seen much of that.It has turned into another scripted "adventure" show.I fell it has lacked any real content in this last season except for drama.Military guys are trained to do what the leaders(producers)say.A man like Cody follows his heart.....

I take some issue with your categorization of military people. Yes, following orders in a military unit is essential. However, well trained and professional soldiers speak out more than most civilians I have seen when confronted by stupidity or incompetence, even within those military units.

The issue is more about personality and personal goals, with Joe having different goals from Cody. Make a proper attribution rather than assigning people to a category and claiming that they all think alike.

Monanero,please accept my apologize if you feel offended.If you did not know I am former military myself.Does that make me an expert?No it does not.I was just expressing frustration with lack of talent and fresh ideas on television and Hollywood.It is getting harder to find intelegent programming lately.Discovery use to be a place for that and now it is mostly reality junk.Again I mean not to offend.
