Folks.....what people have to realize about Dual Survival is that the show showcases 2 complete different views about survival. Codys views are from years of experience as a primitive skills instructor, and mine from years as a special operations guy. Many times our tactics do not line up....as you can see. That is what the show is about. Giving you the opportunity to decide for yourself what YOU would do in a given situation. My entire philosophy is to get off the x as fast and as safely as I can. Every second you are in a survival situation your clock is ticking. To me, the odds of making it out is based on several factors. On of them is your physical ability to move off of the x (regardless of how far that might be)...could be 2 miles.....could be 222 miles. If you cant haul your carcass the distance, your chances of surviving are not good, unless your Bill Gates and have an army of folks searching for you. How long do you think you can actually survive eating scorpions and drinking crap water???? Do the math.....not long at all. And lets say you do, how strong do you think you are going to be after say a week of living on nothing and just water???? Your going to have a hard time even walking any kind of distance before you tire because your out of gas. If you dont believe me, try it for yourself some day. Survival to me is all about beating the clock. Cody makes making fire look easy........it isnt......even for a guy with his skills, and he will tell you that. Imagine not having water to drink now......and if you do drink unprocessed water, you are almost certain to get sick and diarrhea. Now you are at the end of your rope. Remember.....in a survival situation, get off the X as quickly and as safely as possible. It will stack the odds in your favor. You can take that to the bank! BOTTOM LINE.............ALWAYS PLAN AND PREPARE TO ENTER THE WILD. LET OTHERS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, WHO YOU ARE WITH, AND WHEN YOU PLAN ON RETURNING. IN THE EVENT YOU DONT RETURN THEY HAVE A STARTING POINT TO BEGIN THE SEARCH. CARRY NECESSARY ITEMS YOU WILL NEED DEPENDING ON THE ENVIRONMENT YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.....DRESS APPROPRIATELY.
