Well this sucks. He was one of my favorite "survival experts".

From Cody's FB page:

Dual Survival Update

Dear Campers,

Unfortunately, I have been fired by Discovery Channel for differences over safety and health concerns on the show and will no longer be a part of Dual Survival.

Although I’ll miss elements of the show, what I’ll miss the most are my fans and the opportunity to teach - on a global level – life saving skills, indigenous culture, and values of integrity and respect toward our natural world.

I have received numerous letters from viewers. Many are from kids, or their parents or grandparents, describing in detail how the show has changed their lives. It has brought families together, inspired kids to go outdoors, and motivated moms and dads around the world to take that family camping trip, many for the first time. If I can use a TV show to encourage people to turn off TV and turn on nature, I have done my job.

Thank you all very much for your support over the years. Be safe and prepared, and maybe I’ll train with you in the woods some day!

Stay classy,

Cody Lundin

he's coming back?

 

Discovery Channel's “Dual Survival” returns with a new season on Wednesday, April 23 at 9 p.m.

Once again wildman Cody Lundin — who has not worn any footwear in more than 20 years — joins Joseph Teti, a combat-tested special operations veteran and graduate of more than 30 formal schools related to special operations.

“This season dropped us into some of the most extreme environments I've ever encountered,” Teti told The News. “ From crocodile-infested lakes to frozen tundras with 50 mile-per-hour winds, we were really pushed to our limits both physically and mentally. The severity of these situations ultimately results in a twist that I certainly didn't see coming."
