been binging again and is it just me or does the narrator usually give way more credit to the military guys than the primitive guys??

it feels like every episode im hearing about the super secret extra special black ops missions Joe ran while Joe then comes on and says stuff like "while Cody plays with sticks" etc lol

BOTTOM LINE as Joe would say he is my most entertained character and host to watch

I will admit I also didn't liked him at first when he replaced Dave but over time he grew on me especially with Matt

Take a shot every time Joe Teti says fire 🔥

Rarely do I see an entertaining TV show on TV that i think really communicates something good into the society. I do not see a lot of TV shows or movies out there that really communicate how to be a good friend or that celebrates just companionship. There are a lot of shows about romance and some about revenge. There seems to be a vacuum when it comes to communicating the value and ins and outs of friendships, especially male friendships, on TV and in the movies.

I think when I was a boy, if Dual survivor had been on with two men like this, I would have loved the show. It's got action, adventure, and it's fun to see the guys do Tarzan yells and say 'Yeah, Baby!' when they start a fire or catch a fish. I think its a good show for kids, except they could probably tone the PG or PG-13 language down to G-rated without having to bleep anything out. :)

I notice a lot of children, young people, and even adults who are up in years are constantly on their phones and don't interact. This show models friendship, using words to negotiate ideas out and persuade, while also teaching useful survival skills. It could encourage children to put down their phones and video game consoles and go outside a built a lean to or ask their parents to go on a camping trip.

I saw them on that other show, but it seems like that show used to fuzz out butts along with the other stuff many years ago, but I'm not sure. I don't want to watch Naked and Afraid because of all the butts. So I can watch these guys survive without watching all the butts. I'm working my way through this season. It would be good if they had Shane on there.

Am I right or not?

They have the best dynamic. I really want to know if they are still on good terms. Do you guys think the show is really fake or did they cuddle in the igloo?

I’m in Texas and the news did a story interviewing people stuck in Fort Worth because of the weather and there being not that many places open to eat. They had no idea who he was. Shocked the heck out of me to see him on TV on accident. Kind of like when a tv crew interviewed Adrian Peterson and didn’t know who he was.

“This traveler from Ohio…” is how they introduced him with his name on the bottom of the screen.

Maybe im on the wrong reddit but i guess this is the most logica group i can ask. Since i started watching dual survival years ago i always wanted to know about dave canterburys arm tattoos. Like the sniper. Some tribal at his inner arm. Crocodile idk. I noticed he covered up alot with something else but i am still curieus about the "before" tattoos.

I'm not taking anything away from the other hosts abilities as they are all fantastic but I think in terms of how you'd approach a genuine survival situation, Cody and Dave have it. You want to take as few risks as possible, you don't want to be jumping off cliffs, repelling down cliffs, climbing trees or vines or anything else dangerous.

It really seemed like they were doing their best to promote sensible survival solutions (of course barefoot is the exception).

What I also liked about it is most people who end up in a survival situation are not especially fit people, they don't have the ability to free climb a cliff for example. Cody and Dave would essentially just find a way to methodically get out of a survival situation. I think it's much more valuable than later series or other shows.

your knife blade and some tinder fungus, charred punkwood, and ashed tinder? It's not all that hard to do, guys. It can take a while to get the sparks to catch, but it's a simple process. It can take a while to find the right sort of rock. They have to break in a colloidal fracture when you bust the rock between two other rocks, in a hammer and anvil sort of set up. Once you've got the charred punkwood and can keep it dry in a tarp and tape bag, with your tinder, it's much, much easier to get fire than with bow drill

A couple things I see are kinda extraordinary and just don't seem realistic. Like season 7 Grady sees a turtle and then next thing you know he jumps after it and I'm like there is no way he's gonna get it, but he does. Did they fake that? Did they fake a lot of other animal catches?

Or like times where they have to repel down a cliff but in reality they could have just took 3 minutes and walked around it.

How much of this is BS basically.

I already know they have like 7 people out there on the set at least and so I'm assuming they all sleep in expensive tents or maybe they are very close with a RV with sleeping quarters. Are they ever really starving or you think they get to just ask the cameraman for a piece of his granola bar?

you can instead have a big pump drill, which does not fail just because conditions are humid. If you know to use "drying cycles' you can use friction-heat to dry out the only surfaces that matter. That is, the contact points of the removable end of the spindle and the small, dove-tailed-in contact point part of the hearthboard. Those are the only parts that have to be dry, soft wood. Make a tarp-tape bag to keep them and your tinder dry. Bury your coals in the ashes and the fire will remain "alive" for 12+ hours. You can carry a red hot coal, wrapped in ashes, in a hollow logs, a bundle of leaves, etc, and move the fire in that manner, for several hours of hiking.

that needs no fire inside of it. You can do so in one day. What you do is pile up brush, leaves, pine boughs, sod, moss, etc, making a 10x6x6 ft quonset hut shape. Put a tarp over this pile. Put 1-2" of small debris atop the tarp and sprinkle water onto the debris. When it has frozen solid, repeat layers until you can jump up and down on the pile and feel no "give". Cut an 18" ID hole in the down wind end of the pile and extract most of the brush and any big logs you used to create the pile. Fill the place with small, soft debris. Before you do so, tho, you need to free up the tarp from the ice-debris "ceiling". Heat 3 big rocks and take them inside of the shelter, shoving all of the debris out of the danger-zone. Use the rocks to re-heat your shovel blade and use the warm shovel to melt the tarp free of the ice, a bit at a time.

It's best if your entrance-way is a 6x2x2 ft trench, but if you can't dig, due to lack of a shovel or the ground being too rocky, you can make a right-angled crawlway entrance. Make a woven withe and ice "door' to plug the 18" hole, with a handle frozen into both sides of it. With the door in place, fill in the gaps around it with debris, dirt, snow. You can make little ice "windows' in the roof for daylight, a couple of little vent-holes by the door. You'll be on a compressed 3 ft thick pile of debris, with 2 ft of compressed dry debris all around you. If need be, you can have head-sized hot rocks in pits under your bedding, surrounded by ashes. Heat the rocks outside, with the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay, for half an hour. The rocks will warm the shelter for 4-5 hours. Your body-warmed air will be in the top 3 ft of the shelter, where it gets trapped. The colder, denser air sinks down to the bottom 2 ft of the shelter, where you are not.

When there's no convection and you've got lots of insulation vs heat loss to radiation or conduction, you just dont need a fire, assuming you had brains enough to have on proper clothing when going afield in freezing weather. Put debris between the layers of your clothing, in order to gain more insulative value.

Did anyone else ever think Joe looks like jon snow or was that just me?

So any news?

Dave lied about his background on his resume but watching him he is smart and creative and knows a lot more than Joe. Its much more important to see his performance on the job rather than his background. A big mistake to fire Dave the show was ruined after that.

Personally I would take Matt. Super knowledgeable and laid back and in tune with nature without the gimmicks that Cody had. Plus Cody always had some smart ass comment to say when he didn’t agree. As egotistic as joe came off for some people, it was Cody’s ego who ruined that partnership.

In my opinion Matt Graham is my favorite. As much as Joe angers me, I really enjoy watching Matt in the jungles. And his commentary.

What are your Thoughts on Joe?

I’m trying to see which host is the most popular mine is Joe Teti
