Lundin obviously refuted the statement and the professional survivalists have been at odds ever since. When Discovery Channel was looking for somebody to replace Dave Canterbury, they chose Joe Teti, another man with a military background. They were all set to replicate the dynamic between Cody Lundin, the laid-back survivalist, and a tough, American serviceman. One thing they unwillingly might have replicated was hiring another liar.
He also supposedly participated in a government unit so secret that he was not allowed to name the organization, only that it was very, very secret. Many veterans, including retired Army Sergeant Major George Davenport, found these claims to be phony and decided to fact check Teti. Since Dual Survival is a reality show at heart, editors and producer also amped up the drama between the on-camera duos.
This was an easy way to heighten the tension of being trapped in the wilderness with one other person and minimal tools. McConnell, the hippie survivalist, and Powell, the former United States Green Beret seemed to butt heads more often than any other pairing the show had ever seen.
They put a great deal of effort into getting the perfect pairs, but no duo lasted more than two and a half seasons. Between claims of attempted of Joe Teti attempting to harm him and how he was mistreated while on set, this one comes as no real surprise. In addition to both of these claims, Lundin is suing the Discovery Channel because of the way the show was edited. Lundin believes that the editors and producers behind the scenes made him seem like his survival skills were not up to snuff.
He claims that this has cost him a great deal of work. One particular scene involved Lundin losing his patience with co-host Joe Teti. The duo was trying to transport a spear, water, and matches from the higher to the lower ground while keeping them dry. Lundin seemed to snap and began throwing all of the materials into the water, looking not only like a crazy person, but like an amateur as well. The popsicle stick with a heart of gold was the ridiculously no-budget host of Nick in the Afternoon.
The programming block that aired on TeenNick ran between and , meaning folks of all ages could hear Christie voice a talking stick on one network and change the channel to hear the same guy narrating how to cauterize a wound. By the time season seven of Dual Survival came around in , the show had already been through four different hosts. Fans were lukewarm on the pair, and it was reflected in the rated. Once the seventh season began airing in January of , the show struggled to reach a million fans per episode.
McConnell would only last this season before Discovery Channel once again reshuffled hosts. Television shows are, first and foremost, means of entertainment.
I have no idea who titti is. EternalLove said:. Snakeshooter Scout. Joined Oct 17, Messages Likes 1, I get that. It is also supposed to simulate real life to a large extent , and showcase the survival skills of experts , yet one expert thought it smart to head into the Arctic in shorts. Snakeshooter said:. He is also barefoot at all times as well in all environments. Now granted he is well past my skill level too. But I have also questioned his thought process when I saw that.

One of his books explains his thought process on bare feet and shorts. It has something to do with building up your cells to withstand extreme temps.

In my experience bush hippies generally have fantastic practical skills and really, really bizarre ideology. They have a lot of great things to teach, if you can filter out the mumbo-jumbo.
Here is the clip. He does seem to have some sort of boots on. I thought it was more like he wrapped his feet but no, boots. So he abandoned the barefoot stance , and wore mittens, a parka, and other cold weather gear, but for some reason chose to wear shorts in an environment in which the natives bundle up in furs head to toe. Makes no sense at all , and not the least bit realistic. DarrylM Guide. One episode Lundin and DC were stranded in the rocky's with a stuck jeep.
Cody was wearing his typical do-rag, baja hoodie, shorts, and shockingly over the calf wool socks. I disliked the episode because they abandoned the jeep location, that vehicle is one of the best markers of their location they could have. I liked the episode because they stripped the jeep to make use of all kinds of things even using tge hood as a sled their jeep was still visible from their chosen shelter location, and they ended up with a "better" situation closer to natural cover and resources for signal fire snow melt warmth etc than they would have had inside the jeep.
