Pretty good show.

I learn something from almost every episode.

Its a couple years old. We cut Dish, so haven't seen anything recent. Good show, realistic as I've seen the TV survival show offerings.

Yeah. This is season 2

Every episode seems to have a shelter, fire, food and water 'lesson'.

Episodes are all online.

I like Creek Stewart.
I hope he gets another show.
Put him, Matt Graham and Les Stroud together.
No bullshit egos in that group. Just solid skill guys.

Creek is legit, and I like the show.

I watch the other shows but they are mostly sucky.

Dual survival was at least entertaining with Cody and Dave. Mat while skilled is a goof, always sounds like he is talking to a class of elementary school kids. Teti is a fool and blowhard.

Les is mostly a tv production guy who gets survival advice from locals then suffers for a week to 10 days. his claim to fame is he films his own show. Dudes favorite word is sustenance. Shake my head every time he says "never tried/done this before"

Cant wait for Staffords new Marooned episodes.

Read Matt's bio. (he is rather laid back isn't he?)
Read Les's bio.
If you are not impressed, I would be shocked.

I just started watching Dual Survival. Though I absolutely don't find it educational, I do kind of enjoy the two city boys experimenting in the woods aspect which reminds me of the backpacking Group Camps we use to have on this forum.

I mean really, sleeping in a tree stand with a hot pot between your legs because you are afraid of a black bear and repelling down a loose rock face when you really gained nothing over following the river down the ridge? That's pretty entertaining.

Just my opinion, its the type show you have to take with a grain of salt and for granted their looking to have adventure. It's be pretty boring if in their adventures, they just walked out.

I've gotten the last 5 apocaboxes and it is a pretty good deal. Mostly cool items and the price point is reasonable. I would recommend it for sure.
