Anyone watch Dual Survival on Discovery? Great show.

[DannyBows]

It's not a "Reality Show". It's not intended to fool people that it's real. They state right out that the scenarios are set-up to give a representation of what survival responses would be under similiar circumstances, with two guys approaching it in their own style. That's why they spend so much time explaining the conditions and why they choose their priorities and methods. It's not a hunting show, so there is no need to go into every little detail and present "actual" hunting scenes. The object is to teach survival skills and a survival mentality in an entertaining way. Both those guys teach survival. Dave has his own YouTube channel and heads the Pathfinder School, and Wilderness Outfitter's Archery.
Gerry, I'll have to check out Cody's book, thanks for the head's up. I didn't care for him at first, and still don't get the barefoot thing, but I'm developing an appreciation for his style. Even Dave was impressed with the shelter he made on the Shipwrecked scene. Still though, if I had to choose between eating Grubs with Cody, or Roast Turkey or Pig with Dave, I've gotta go with Dave.

Good one highpoint!

I wonder if crow is a survival food  

[Molson]

I enjoy watching it. Both Cody and Dave teach this stuff and if they can get a bonus having an entertaining tv program then good for them.  It's a fun show to watch and adding in traditional archery was a treat.

[DannyBows]

Owlbait, only if you don't expend more calories obtaining it than you get from it. Lol!

[recurvecody]

never miss the show

[owlbait]

I want to put a nice gravy on it made from sassafras bark and flowers and serve it to someone else  :p

Been watching since it got on youtube! A bit to "stressfull music/shaky camera" at times, but gotta hand it to Dave and Cody, they know their stuff!

Also been watching Dave and Crittr with the wildernessoutfitters on youtube, lots of good tricks and tips there!

I'd never heard of Cody before DS, but will follow his work from now!

Well my self I love the show. I also like les stroud and the new man woman wild.  Those are about the only show on t.v that I find interesting.  I think Dave and Cody are very skilled at what they do and I'm not going to take any credit from them just because they are on TV.  Its not a reality show at all. Very good info for any woodsman. Take it how you want but ill be tuning any week to week. Sure beats MTV.

Dave's archery vids on Youtube are OUTSTANDING. He's quite versed in Paleo-Indian archery terminology and "modern" trad archery. Very informative stuff on his channel on Youtube.

Any reply yet highpoint?

[Chris Shelton]

I knew of Dave way before he got this deal with discovery.  He has a youtube channel, and they have always been pretty spot on as others have said up above, some of his opinions on survival implements possible lethality is kinda off but other than that he is pretty badA!

[Groundpounder]

Its a really great show i never miss an episode. it says right before the show starts that some situations are staged to help educate the viewers and there is help available to help them out of any life threatening situations. They have to have rules to go by just like we do at our jobs that are OSHA and DER regulated for safety. I also like Man Woman Wild.

[DannyBows]

I watched an episode of the "Man Woman Wild" last night and it's not bad.

[highpoint forge]

Nothing yet....I'm sure it'll take a while, between his business and making videos, etc. We will see...

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

Hey Highpoint maybe I can ask Dave about the turkey for ya if he's at the 3-D shoot this weekend.

[owlbait]

Is that shoot sponsored by Butterball?
