Cody had this to say in a newspaper interview with John Stanley - Jun. 10, 2010 in The Arizona Republic:
Although scenarios were based "on real crappy things that happen to real people," Lundin is aware that most viewers just want to be entertained. And that's perfectly OK.
"I think a good educator is an entertainer," he said. "If people aren't being entertained, they're not learning. That's what I try to do with my books and survival courses. People see this hippie with no shoes and it gets them engaged."
And although he hopes some viewers may pick up a few tidbits of survival knowledge, he said the show isn't meant to be an instructional video.
"It's (expletive) TV," he said. "It's entertainment. If you want to learn survival skills, you need to get your butt up off the couch and get outside and train with someone knowledgeable."
Yep, I can sure hear the bush hippie saying that, he tells it like he sees it.
“Dual Survivor” is to me both entertaining and educational. And as an added bonus, watching it is just one more thing I can do with my 20 year old son who usually is focused on girls and gasoline. Last weekend at Cabelas I think we found that cool knife Dave uses, and my son was dropping some big time hints that his current blade was pretty wimpy compared to the survival Gerber. He even quoted Crocodile Dundee saying “Now THAT’s a knife!”
