What I AM attempting to argue is Image and how it can harm the message of learning these things. What would a person think of primitive skill learning if the first expert they see is a certain person acting in certain ways. Cody was the first example and person I picked to present this issue since he is the first person I have seen on television who primarily promotes primitive skills.

Actually, I have some feeling of sorrow that we have to say this about Cody. I personally agree with him on many counts like ( less is better ) for example. I also do not like to destroy nature unnecessarily like excessive hunting ..etc. I also would take the path with least resistance ...etc.
So, I feel sorry at his lost chance of showing the viewers what they can gain from his teachings.
Actually the other day I was watching some U-tube clips for Dave ( about building inexpensive bushcraft kits ) and I can say that I do respect Dave even more ... Although he is the gung-ho type of guy in the show ( a little intimidating sometimes) but he managed to also show the practical , down-to-Earth side of his personality. So, he is a good example where the image HELPS the message
