Dual Survival is an American documentary reality series aired on cable television's Discovery Channel with production by Original Media.[1] The show follows two survivalists showcasing contrasting wilderness survival philosophies and skills: Cody Lundin, a professional outdoor survival and primitive skills instructor from Arizona, and a new co-host who has not yet been introduced by the Discovery Channel.
Production
Dual Survival's first and second seasons originally aired in 2010 and 2011, respectively.[2][3] A third season is currently being filmed. [4][5]
Format
In Dual Survival's first two seasons, each episode features Cody and Dave in a different survival situation like being marooned on a deserted island, lost in a forbidding jungle, or stranded in an arid desert. They then have to survive for a number of days with minimal gear.[6] Along the way, Cody and Dave demonstrate various survival skills such as using primitive methods to make fire and obtaining potable water.
Conflict often arises due to the differences between Cody and Dave's individual survival philosophies and methods. Cody, who does not wear shoes or long pants, sometimes slows down the team when they are navigating through particularly tough terrain.[7] Additionally, Dave sometimes goes after dangerous animals for food that Cody would rather avoid, while Cody prefers to gather edibles that Dave has far less interest in eating.
