wow. all of you have really provided some well thought out conclusions on Cody. I'm not saying that snarky or sarcastic. Seriously, they are all very well put.

I like Cody. I've read his books many times. I have bought and given away at least a dozen of his 98.6* book to first time prepper/ want to become EDC types. There is great humor in his books that is not seen in his on-screen personality. I have met Cody as well, when we were both in our local REI. (He lives in N. Arizona, me Phoenix area). I admit it was years ago and I geeked over him, showed him my EDC that was based quite a lot on his book and he couldn't have been nicer, more humble or pleasant. Yes he was barefoot.
