Cody Lundin Newsweek Interview

[@9999plato]

A smart producer would put Cody and Dave back together and make a new show. They were good together.

[@timjanssen1671]

That would be awesome, show never was the same when Dave left, now that Cody's gone, forget it.

[@shakymenudo]

9999plato couldn't agree more. they'll never find theses two dudes in anybody else!

[@mitchellgunnells7883]

I second that shit.

[@jelkel25]

Grew up in the rocky mountains and everything was bought in bulk or to last as long as possible because you never knew what was around the corner, father/grandfather had big veg gardens and were pretty self reliant. I hate that I've let myself slip into a modern service industry/throw away type existence and everything I do to change that is a major victory. People like Cody show it can be done, more power to him!!

[@newenglandwitchband]

bring back Dave And Cody!!!!!! thats the show!!

[@docsimonson]

Excellent! People should be prepared not because they are afraid, but because they don't want to live in fear. The closer I get to being prepared, the less I have to think about it. I won't have to worry about surviving because I will be living. Great video, Mr. Lundin!

[@RCSuperPowers]

Thanks for all you do Cody, I've applied some of the knowledge you teach and have improved my life greatly.

[@enjoythewildUSA]

Cody Lundin...you have no idea how much I appreciate your spirit, your positive attitude, your originality, and your zest for life. I've truly enjoyed your television show and can't wait for next season.

[@metrowash]

Looking forward to seeing more of Cody next year! Although the woman in this interview may not be prepared for sustainable long term living, she will be better equipped to handle the vast majority of incidents that are likely to occur that could affect services for three days-three months. She'll be better off than 95% of the people out there. I wish more people had her mindset.

[@h2o4170]

Being able to take care of yourself and family is comforting

[@purplemutantas]

Here is a simple motto that is the key to good food storage. "Eat what you store, store what you eat". Your food storage is your pantry. When disaster strikes you wont have to worry about what you are going to with your "emergency food". You will be eating pretty much the same things you always do. If you eat the food you store it will be constantly rotated. So you never have to worry about things going bad. Pick some staple items with a good shelf life and buy them in bulk. Try to only buy things on sale. Recently my local grocery store had a sale on whole wheat spaghetti. It was over 50% off. So I bought all 14 packs on the shelf. Now I have enough spaghetti to last me until the next sale. Toward the end of passover I picked up large boxes of matzah that were on sale. Always look for sales. Always buy in bulk if possible. I buy my rice in 40 pound bags at the Asian mart. I buy beans in 20 pound bags, 20 pounds of oats, 25 pounds of sugar ETC. Generally things a cheapest when purchased in bulk. I like to store my bulk goods in 5 gallon buckets with gamma seal lids. The gamma seal lids rock. They make is very easy to get into the bucket. Sales and bulk quantities will save you money. So it isn't that costly to have a month or more of food on hand. Just take it slow and your stash will grow.

[@teamchb3143]

Cody is the man..;) Discovery Channel should have never fired him....

[@robertclauer1248]

It's nice to see people thinking logically about their situation and taking positive steps to hedge against crisis. Much respect for these people. Cody is boss.

[@markgreer6921]

To me also one of the most important thing is to be quiet about preps and or supplies

[@Arelak]

Paranoia is vilified but is actually quite healthy when you work with the modern madness.

[@pinworms70]

This is not 'survival' or even getting ready for a disaster, this woman and her family are buying foods that make sense. People used to live like this back in the 1930-50's, being a little self sufficient, not relying on Government for your every need and having a house that wasnt full of un-necessary items to waste money. Its good to see people coming back around to this 'normal' way of living again.

[@pinhighiron]

Perhaps the thing I liked best about this video was the very end. The kids were at the gun range, with shots being fired all around them, and they weren't fazed a bit. They weren't scared out of their minds and they weren't running for cover. The were surrounded by guns and they were as safe as could be because they were surrounded by GOOD PEOPLE with guns. Way to go parents, keep up the good work!

[@vincevegacustoms8860]

Watched all your shows,thankyou because of you i know how to make fire and shelter with suplies from mother nature,will help to protect my familly in the even of something happening...even feel like beeing dropped far in the bushes like you guys do...i could say you are an icon to me...keep it up!

[@Redneckdipper-gt8qr]

miss you both on dual survival best show I've ever watched my favorite show and I learned alot growing up watching it and I try to better my self every day like you both and when I was down ID watch you both and it cheer me up because I got to idles I can look up to that teach very well rather have had you as a teacher in school ID learn alot from you both

[@chrisbearden4204]

Screw dual survival. I haven't watched it since you and Dave were let go

[@dougjohnsonbushcraftandbjj5561]

Chris Bearden Good for you.

[@robbijohnson6983]

Chris Bearden ABSOLUTELY CODY AND DAVE WERE THE BEST ❤️

[@botadecasquillo]

it is always good to see your videos, i have been working on a devise to reduce water waste considerably. when i have this finished and patented i would like to have a word with you. Keep up with the good work! regards from mexico

[@canalzonebratt90]

Well said.. Self responsiblity is lost in todays society...

[@Brightyk]

These comments are funny. To see a family doing something to secure a little time in case a situation arises, is refreshing.

[@drumgodtim]

Freaking awesome Cody!!! I so want to take one of your courses in Prescott!!!

[@KainOutdoors]

Arrogant preppers? Come on, this life style is a learning process. Even veteran preppers are constantly adding to or changing their methods. If I could get my friends and family to even have a three months supply of food and water that would be better than it is now. We need to be supportive and encourage others not criticize them.

[@bobsr3]

Right on Cody ! Glad to see your around again.

[@sarahallen8739]

I wish I could rock shorts like Cody

[@1stcSOLDIER]

You could strength conditioning and mind over matter

[@genesisjames9722]

I've read Cody's FB that Dual Survival wants to Hire him back again! Woohhooo!

[@genesisjames9722]

I am a Fan of Cody Lundin BTW.

[@robbijohnson6983]

Genesis James 👍❤️👍❤️🤘

[@MBlackford100]

Excellent interview!

[@Prepare2Survive]

Great interview Cody. I'm looking forward to another season of dual survival.

[@billschwarts64]

we love you Cody we thank you had a very good run and you kept the show going thanks a mil

[@PatrickBateman1987]

reality is a mirror illusion, ARCH.

[@PatrickBateman1987]

ARCH doesn't make a difference what i believe.

[@ppger44]

Yea, thats why buying candles on sale is what I do through the summer. Thats heat and light.

[@yinyangthang]

Cody! Hey brother--it's Jeff Rowe from Prescott College. Remember our hitchhiking trip to BOSS? I still have an image of you pulling that giant, glistening rainbow trout out from that desert stream. I've been tracking you over the years abodudeman...I'm right there with you in spirit.

[@ConnerPlainLiving]

Long time no see. Good to see you again.

[@stoneyj1a1]

We need to see Codi back on TV or a web series. He was too good and too real. Bring him back

[@timbaka1480]

Do you have food in a pantry or cupboard? You're a prepper. Do you have bandaids, gauze and antibiotic ointment in the house? You're a prepper. Do you fill your gas tank before it gets to empty? You're a prepper. Any tools in the house? Spare bedding, spare clothing (suitable for the seasons), spare shoes, a savings account? You're a prepper. You don't need a bunker, a four wheeler, an arsenal . . . you just need to THINK about where you live, where you work, what the routes out of town are (if you are in tornado, hurricane or earthquake country). Then you need to make SENSIBLE preparations - the finance guru's tell you to have 3-6 months of your budget in emergency savings, your state likely has an emergency prep website (most folks have never even looked at the thing, but it is there) which gives advice on things like food, water, first aid, medicine, contact lists, pet info, etc. People can tell you who each Kardashian is dating, but they can't tell you how to sharpen the knives in the kitchen -- so sad. You don't have to spend a fortune, you may not do enough to survive, but if you do SOMETHING then you are ahead of the game. Cheers! p.s. - Here's hoping you have a couple cans of ravioli, a gallon of water, a trash bag, some clothesline, a bandana and a KelTec 3AT -- total cost $200 and you are now more prepared than about 300 million other americans. . .

[@1stcSOLDIER]

I have all of the essentials. I am not a prepper. That is a poser word for geeks.

[@WildBillHabiki]

When are new episodes of Dual Survivor airiing??? Miss my favorite show!

[@ptsigas]

yess!! Cody and Dave rock!! I rock shorts just about all year round ( not all throughout winter, but I try) - no socks though...., not there yet! take care

[@nerblebun]

A family that slays together, stays together.

[@Fretfeeler]

Keep it up bro, I am a desert survival expert as well, love your shows, love your books, love your attitude. Self-reliance may come into play sooner than we all would like because of oil, economy, all of the disasters lately, etc. but of course you know that which is why you've been off the grid. ;) I was watching some alien invasion movie the other day and I told my woman "The only guy that would be safe in this situation would be Cody... lol". :)

[@17crazygunner]

hi my name is matt me and my friend watch dual survival and also watch your news interviews and your losst in the wild episodes i just wanted to say that i like wat you do thank you for your time

[@jistaguy45]

How is it that "prepping" was a common way of life for people all over the world when my grandparents were in there youth, but now it is considered to be only for those "wacko survivalists". Here in America, we've become too dependent upon others to rescue,provide or take care of us instead of us taking care of ourselves.

[@Nativesurvival]

Thanks bro, nice points.. -Mitch

[@mitchellgunnells7883]

My name is Mitch too.

[@sabledrayden3605]

I LITERALLY just got into this show today as being a fan of survival shows and having lived through many tough scenarios. Isnt it JUST like corporate to get rid of someone and expect people to be ok with it IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERIES?

[@josephpowelliii9169]

I sure wish they'd bring Cody & Dave back, on "Dual Survival"....PERIOD! Cody & Dave ARE the men!

[@ImmaculateSludge]

@jordythebassist her idea may not be perfect, but it is a start. You have to admit that where she is at is much better than where the majority of people in America are at. Food storage is a huge part of being able to survive when the good ole supermarket is out of service. Delaying death is better than simply bowing before it. That delay could be enough to save her and her families lives. Something is better than nothing.

[@citizen762]

While food storage is a excellent idea, wet packed canned goods is a short term solution. Dry packed staple ingredients or dehydrated food has far longer shelf life and is much lighter if it has to be moved. ...but its just advice.

[@kebertxela941]

+0 Subscribers he is right about the weight, but I agree with you,people think canned stuff goes bad way before it does. Another advantage of canned though is that if you dont have alot of water, canned comes with its own water. Mixing dry\dehydrated with canned is the ideal.

[@citizen762]

John Smith John, you and 0 must be noobs. Sure canned food lasts longer than the sell by dates, but they certainly won't last hundreds of years, and most of the time the seals will fail in less than 10 if stored in less than perfect conditions. Plus there is evidence that nutrition is lost over time. My original comment was mostly regarding the mobility of wet compared to dry food. Water is extremely heavy.

[@kebertxela941]

Looking at my original comment I should have stated it more along the lines that you also were involved in the conversation citizen, sorry about that.I didnt agree with the hundred year claim. But I guess I wasnt clear enough, it was suppose to represent balance. If your more of a "bug out" type of person then dry food is the obvious choice, but if you are a "bug in" type of person cans\canning\jarring is a great choice.Keeping the most amount of water on hand is important if you are concerned with possible future (clean)water shortages. But if you are not hiding in bunker and there is a chance that you need to maintain mobility then you would be a fool to put your the majority of your stock into canned. At that point most all of your wet stuff should just be clean water.

[@hardhitter0421]

No matter, nothing lasts forever, even with knowledge Cody has made the point many times...surviving is no way to die. With 400,000,000 (that's million) people in the USA alone...consider if there where 40,000,000 deer to hunt...that is one deer for every 10 people, Deer won't last long would it. Texas has one long drought and has the concern they will not be able to populate the cow herds in a few more months ...it will be mind blowing when SHTF! This video is an example of sustained comfort.

[@mtower235]

First off, I watched this on tv and I really enjoyed it, Thanks Cody! Secondly I see a lot of negative comments. I agree that it takes well rounded skills to survive alot of situations however folks do not fall into the drugery of disrespecting someone just because you "think" it will not help them. If folks in N.O. had stocked up they would not have been as taxing.If they had "Cody" skills afterwards they would have been better off as thinkers and doers! It takes both. Please Stay Positive

[@nedrawtheworkingclasslefty3636]

One guy chillin in the desert with knowledge skills and confidence to survive without fear and paranoia on one hand, and upper middle class parents with expendable income to stock up on food who are admittedly paranoid arming their children while passing along the same fear they have about who is out there.

[@westernspud504]

and as far as walkin bare foot yes i do most of the time , walk bare foot , have done that since i was a kid

[@FirearmsFreak]

@jordythebassist - while I agree that her ideas might be a bit naive, you have to start somewhere. I owuld rather have someone like her, with a mindset that, while flawed is at least open, rather than the "ultra prepper" who feels they know everything. Give her some credit. Those of us who are of this survival and responsible mindset will never win over people if we degrade them for their limitations and tentative first steps. Encourage, educate and work together!

[@majornewb]

I fucking love Cody's sense of humor

[@WizzRacing]

Fear is the worst motivation there is. It causes you to make mistakes and irrational judgements. Besides fear is that which is not happening. I focus on the things that I can change or learn. It free the mind from stress and worry, the number one killer that shortens one life on average by 30 years.

[@SeventhRisk]

When people lose everything, and have nothing left to lose, they lose it. - Gerald Celente.

[@Tux3d0]

Combine their prepping with Cody's survival genius and like minded people 50+ and you got yourself a great community.

[@barstoolguru]

@Shaereub I love that show (the colony) but I just feel like it’s fixed a little. They are too balanced on the type of people they have but it is a great show of how people can survive with little or nothing and how hard it is going to be without all the things we take for granted. FYI season 1 was on Netflix so if any one missed it check it out, good stuff

[@aswann0831]

hey Cody, you should make a video on traps to make in survival situations

[@jordythebassist]

@Jumpybeaver Growing food is self reliance, you can live sustainably on what you harvest. But don't forget everything else you will need; water, shelter etc. So whilst it is an aspect that goes into self reliance, it isn't the entire picture...

[@Zarthalad]

Great vid!

[@25GMan]

Cody and Dave seemed to be the odd couple of survival. They probably drove each other nuts, but there was chemistry there. I wish they had made more than 2 seasons together.

[@westernspud504]

i grew up on a self working farm grandpas ranch if we didnt grow it hunt it farm it we didnt have it man i would love to get back to that kind of living ,

[@1stcSOLDIER]

Well on a ranch you can order at the general store and buy it Lol

[@dantz34]

HI Cody ;oved your dual survival I hope all is well

[@hopefulskeptic42]

Seriously Cody! Would it have hurt you any to give credit to the other 'half' of this video? I subscribe to both you and Lisa and have never thought to rank you by gender. Both have something to offer and that is why Newsweek chose you. Grow up.

[@angeni7660]

Because Cody suffers from narcissism, no one is equal to him in his opinion. His couch potato fans feeds that ego. It was his ego that got him fired, He threatened to quit the show one time to many. After he was fired he spewed sour grapes and bad mouthed the Dual Survival show. He didn't stop with that, he called all the other survival guys on TV media whores. Now he blames Discovery Chanel because, he hasn't be offered a new show. Not only is Cody arrant, but not very savvy, if he thinks he should have a plum job offer, after all the vile comment's he has made. I hope Cody's lawsuit reaches court, and is made public. I would love to see video of Cody's diva and prima-donna ways.

[@robbijohnson6983]

Cody should have his own show ware he takes an average joe like me with minimal survuvel skills and shows them how to survive 👍

[@sculpter4life]

this looks like 2 different clips in 1. still good

[@kaldicuct]

with codys barefootedness, ive been going barefoot as much as i could since i was a kid and im 23 now, i was the nature kid growing up. diggin for fossels since i was gonna find a t rex in my back yard (found shellfish in stone across the street whoot) but i snubbed a cigarette barefooted and didnt even think about it, people were freaking out doesnt that hurt, id have burns, etc etc. i look at them like their nuts, i cant comprehend peoples feet NOT being that tough.

[@pinhighiron]

No, that wasn't what I meant. In this day and age we're used to seeing kids running out of schools, shopping malls, etc., away from some nut job shooting them up, so they're scared to death of guns. It's refreshing to see kids at a range unafraid of people around them firing weapons.

[@Shaereub]

@barstoolguru If you say it's fixed, then you might as well Dual Survival is fixed. I saw The Colony, Season 1 this year on Netflicts (which is how I found out about the show). What's really a bummer is that it doesn't have Season 2. :( Oh Well.

[@StillOnTrack]

NOTICE how the editor and/or camera-man chooses to get a close up of the "go away" sign, close up of SPAM and a GIANT bag of beans, and focus on the weapons. Even though they allowed them to speak their piece, I still think the editors were going for and contributing to the stereotypical slightly negative view of people who make common sense preps.

[@HansenSWE]

Ok. Thanks for clarification.

[@dominiquelouangrath]

Does he ever take off that bandana?

[@jan-olofharnvall8760]

Her is a question. Why are we, human beings that is, always trying to teach others to prepare rather then just do, and there by setting an example? Could the answer be "marketing"? In fierce haste/mrJ

[@johnnyViDeO]

Preparation just just smart, considering the alternative. Any US city has only a three day supply of food on the shelves. What if the tap runs dry? After that, chaos sets it. Are you going to rely on the gummint to save your ass?

[@eirikmurito]

now you are just swinging wild my little friend :)

[@Fretfeeler]

@ruleof3survival - I'll have to check that out, makes sense to me anyway that's my favorite number for a reason :) Don't forget Boleadoras, they use 3 weights most of the time ;)

[@Gnostic279]

@sumala321 I think his point is that they get scared and worry too much createing a self-destructive mindset. First and possibly the most important thing in survival is keeping ur spirits high. Don't succumb to negativity.

[@7777R]

Every law abiding American should own atleast 1 rifle. If u don't you better get them while u can. Remember A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. It can be for recreation but it's main purpose is to keep you free from tyranny.

[@mogges1]

Another great point Cody.Since i started learn to be self reliant.and let nature be my grocery store.I have a little awareness off how it feels to not be so dependant of the babylonian system every one of us one here have great grandparent and grand parent the new how to live off the land.they had to.its not been over 70 yrs sense.I think what happen st modern technology: machines/ computers.Machine replace thousands of workers.and computer are taking the place of machines,

[@barstoolguru]

@Shaereub Yes the colony is fixed in a way that it is produced and to achieve the highest ratings. You see no people with a missing limb, blind, overweight or uneducated. Go to Wal-Mart and look around because those people are the ones that are going to be with you in a real disaster. You might get lucky to get a mathematician or mechanical engineer or even better yet a doctor but chances are people with less survival skills then you are going to cling on for a better chance to live.

[@antoniescargo4158]

Cody Lundin, the only normal American. 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@RandallMoore1955]

When and if the shtf I want Cody on my side, great guy great teacher that,s where i come out.

[@springfield03sniper]

People get the wrong idea about teaching young children to shoot. Instead of teaching them to shoot. You teach the gun safety. Like what to do if they see a gun out of the case, what to do if they find a round stuff like that. I guarentee that if you do this first, when they are older and you teach them to shoot, they will respect their gun even more.

[@lokukinacherokee9594]

I agree with some of you about self reliance being able to grow and harvest and store your own food and hunting. But not everyone can do that. My family has land, but not all families have land. And not many of us are going to let poachers and trespassers hunt on our lands and take food from our families mouths. There is a reason we have signs that say TKO (Trespassers Keep Out) and (Those who trespass will be shot, those who are still moving will be shot again!). I do love America.

[@purplemutantas]

I think most people can grow food. You don't need a ton space to grow a few fruits and vegetables. You may not be able to grow all that you eat; but you can grow something. If live in an apartment you can grow a few things on your balcony or patio. If you have a backyard, so much the better. Instead of growing lawns, perhaps people should be growing food. :) Unless you are homeless you should be able to grow SOMETHING.

[@vincevegacustoms8860]

purplemutantas my house doesnt have any sunlight going in no plants grow inside. My neighbours is 3meters away...no sunlight around the house even the grass doesnt grow...what do i do...cant afford to move and everything around montreal costs more then what i have...(its allways on my mind)

[@purplemutantas]

Vega-Expert When I say that most people can grow SOMETHING; I mean it. If you have access to light and water you can grow. Even if it's just some herbs or wheat grass on your kitchen counter.

[@theemeraldfox7779]

Same here!

[@Shaereub]

@barstoolguru Yeah, I guess your right. Here's some Questions for you. Would you survive the Aftermath of a deasastor? How long do you think you would last? If you could choose, what type of people would you have? I would personally pick a Doctor/Nurse, a Machanic/ handy man, an engienear, and a marshal arts body instructor. The Colony Season 1 has some people in that catagorey.

[@HansenSWE]

I think you missed the part where she explained why they are teaching the kids to shoot. To defend against criminals. To engage in a gunfight with criminals to protect their home. I hear you, buddy, I do. But I really think you missed the part where she explained why they are teaching the kids to shoot.

[@WORRO]

Mr C the man with a plan :) Good stuff Thumbs UP~John

[@ElectricityTaster]

HOLY SHIT BEAR HANDS! I thought you meant bare hands but no, YOU HAVE BEAR HANDS. GADDAMN TAKE MY SALMON!

[@mattc941]

@jordythebassist maybe she is thinking of surviving in the suberbs since that is where she lives and will be for the immediate future if something bad happens? IF she lives in the woods or near the desolate desert, then its a different story.

[@robertjmcgregor6413]

never shop at a grocery store, buy bulk bags of beans/rice at smart and final restaraunt supply or costco, have a garden, raise rabbits

[@1stcSOLDIER]

No to all of your silly tips.

[@DeathBlades422]

Cody is da man.

[@RETIREMESOON]

@7iga.....Hello Germany this is Canada :0) Last night my brother and I talked about the Americans with tons of ammo and guns that is selling out in stores all over the U.S. Apparently in the U.S.10 people die from guns everyday in America and they are often children. BUT,on another note.......would you and I...... do what they are doing to prepare for this GREATEST DEPRESSION or would we leave it to chance and hope for the best ?

Lol more like human snares

[@jzoer392]

hey man i am an avid outdoors-man i hunt trap and fish i love primitive skills kinda like you i am pretty sure i could provide for my family ps your awesome

[@sasuke343]

@plitas Thats why theres something called parental supervision

[@Shaereub]

@barstoolguru you wouldn't need someone with a PHD to help you. Just someone who can lend a hand. People (no matter what job they have) can work as a team if at least one person knows what to do. The more people you have working on somthing, the faster a job gets done.

[@barstoolguru]

@MutsuKazuma No I am not a y-tube warrior- just a realist that does not look to others for what I can do for myself and one is getting a job and being a productive member of society. One thing I am waiting for; you so say something intelligent... warrior!!

[@MrEhud77]

@jordythebassist What the family was doing was exactly what Cody Layed out in his book, That family would be able to survive until the neighbors died, then they could eat the corpses and await rescue. If not they have an edge if they do need to bug out. Do you really need to be so critical? We can't all live in Montana hunting and gathering for our food. In a long term situation Animal Husbandry would be the way to go anyway.

[@FireButtBreather]

wouldn't matter if it was allowed or not. the bad guys will get guns regardless, leaving law abiding citizens without a relevant means of protecting themselves against armed criminals.
