Things Heat Up between Cody Lundin and Discovery | Page 3 | The Woodsman Hut | Forums

Tonight!  I hope they pull no punches0

BTW, I'm REALLY starting to dislike Joe.  imo, this was his plan all along.  I think he came in with the intentions of taking over the show and he was successful.  Just my take on it.

Well also, he had to know what he was getting into before he signed on.  It's news to him that Cody doesn't wear shoes, and only wears shorts (even winter environments)??  Also "You're putting my life in danger!!"??  Sorry, I don't see it.  There are camera crews and directors.  Unless someone has a bad fall or is a victim of an animal attack, no one is dying.

He was poorly portrayed, but I would love to know what was really going on behind the scenes.  ie what was the source of the friction?  Was Cody bitter over some aspect of the whole Dave Canterbury situation?  Was there some change in the show that he was unhappy with (ie staged sh*t)?  Was he being forced out and he saw the writing on the wall?  He posted about it today on facebook, and really didn't help his case.  lol  He talked about them "dragging up footage from season three".  Dude, that was just last year.

Hi Campers,
Taking the high road does not involve letting disingenuous people dump on you. I have heard that Discovery Communications and Original Media (the production company) tried their best to defame me on last night’s program, even dredging back into season three. Like herpes, just when one thinks the last boil is gone, another one appears. A cease and desist letter for defamation was sent to both companies by my attorney weeks ago. It seems this was ignored. For executives to purposely pick and edit footage out of context at my and the viewers expense, all the while knowing the real back story, is without conscience. Once again, these actions are uncalled for and have forced my hand to defend my professional reputation.

What Dual Survival fans don’t know is that last night’s “behind the scenes” episode was Discovery’s “Plan B” at attempting to explain why I am no longer on the show. “Plan A,” which I refused to participate in, is far more interesting, informative and damning to those involved.

On a positive note, I am overwhelmed by the support I have received from fans. Thousands of you have sent notes of well wishing in letters, emails, voice mails, facebook, and on my blog. Many of you expressed sadness at my parting, but were grateful for the integrity. One couple who had used my role on the show to teach their children outdoor skills is now using my termination as a teaching point to remind their kids to be true to themselves regardless of the apparent cost. Brilliant! We can all lose jobs, we can all lose friends, but if we lose our integrity and honor, we all lose. I appreciate your supporting qualities that cannot be bought.

Remember, the Light never fails!

Stay true, Cody
