| Known for | Co-star of Discovery Channel's Dual Survival |
Cody Lundin, born in 1965, is the founder, director, and lead instructor of the Aboriginal Living Skills School, LLC in Prescott, Arizona. ALSS was created by Lundin in 1991. Lundin teaches primitive living skills, modern outdoor survival skills, urban preparedness, and homesteading. He is the author of two best-selling books on modern outdoor survival skills and urban preparedness. He is currently a co-star of the Discovery Channel series Dual Survival[1]. His field approach is based on more than two decades of back country experience with and without students in desert and mountain terrain.
Lundin is an internationally known professional survival instructor with more than 20 years of hands-on teaching experience.[2] He has trained private, corporate, and governmental agencies, thousands of students, and dozens of national and international media sources in outdoor and urban preparedness skills.[3] He has consulted for and been featured by dozens of media outlets including The Today Show, National Geographic Television, Esquire magazine, the New York Times, USA Today, Dateline NBC, Fox News, the Donny and Marie Show, the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS), Playboy magazine, Maxim magazine, FHM magazine, Lifetime television, The Atlantic magazine, The History Channel, Popular Mechanics magazine, TV Guide, The Travel Channel, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Field and Stream magazine, the Christian Science Monitor and many others. In 1999, Lundin was the third person in history to appear on the cover of Backpacker magazine that featured a story about his survival school and philosophies. [4]
Lundin hosted the first reality based outdoor survival show for the Discovery Channel called Lost in the Wild in 2004. He is currently the only Discovery Channel host for the survival tv genre that earns his livelihood as a professional survival instructor.
Lundin honed his expertise living in the deserts and mountains with very little gear or assistance—including two years spent living in a brush shelter in the woods where he slept on pine needles and cooked over an open fire.[5] He also serves as an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute.[6]
Lundin lives in a self-designed, off-the-grid, solar-powered earth home in the high-desert wilderness of Northern Arizona. There, he catches rain, composts waste and pays nothing for heating and cooling.[7]
[edit] Books
He is the best-selling author of two books on survival and preparedness: 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive[8] and When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes.[9]
