I watched several episodes of this show last night for the first time. I have to say, this dude Cody Lundin is a freakin' barefoot bad@$$! Barefoot through the jungles of Thailand with tons of sharp rocks, snakes, insects, ground leeches, and other creepy crawlies all over the ground. Damn, I don't know if anyone could PAY me to walk barefoot in an area like that. Dude has balls of steel that's for sure.
Maybe he has feet of steel? I haven't watched survivor since the first series, if that's what this is about.
No, it's a series on Discovery similar to Man vs. Wild, but it has 2 guys on it who try to work together, so it's called Dual Survival. The barefoot dude, Cody, lives "off the grid" in a house in northern Arizona. He's what they call a "primal skills" expert. The other guy is from the Appalachian Mountain areas, former army sniper, woodsman. So you have one guy familiar with desert survival, and the other guy familiar with deep woods/jungle survival. It's pretty neat to see how they can put their skills together to get out of various situations. They are odd, though. In one episode where they were on a salt flat in Mexico's Baja Peninsula region, Cody took a piss on a rag and then wrapped it around his head to help keep moisture from escaping too fast (nasty!), while other dude was grossed out. Then in another episode, the other guy had to free a skunk from a trap, got his hat sprayed, and then kept on wearing the hat! Cody was grossed out at that. Kinda comical. But I have to say, taking a pee into a clear plastic bag, and then using that like a magnifying glass to start a fire was pretty darn ingenious.
Yeah that guy Cody is crazy. They were in the snow one time so he decided a pair of wool socks would be good. Dude had cuts all over his feet but still kept going. What a champ
