Why does cody wear shorts

Of course, Joe could not acknowledge that. From here, as they continued to descend, the show got pretty mundane, more on a par with the earlier shows. When they get even lower, they build a parabolic shelter using moss for the walls.

That was kind of cool to watch, even if the producers did make him pretend to slip just before a commercial break to try to generate some suspense. Such fakery drives me nuts. One little error I think I noticed occurred when Cody lit a fire. He had a lighter without fuel, so he used some broken-apart cigarette filters. When you strike steel against flint what is really happening is that, since the flint is harder though more brittle than the steel, it is chipping of very small pieces of the steel that ignites in the air.

So it is the metal that is igniting, not the flint. So, I suspect Cody was creating metallic dust that was easily ignited by a spark. From the picture, it actually looks like temperatures are close to or above freezing, and in those sorts of temperatures I always go barefoot, quite comfortable. If I still had on 3 layers of wool socks, my feet would be sweating horribly. But Cody kept his sock on.

They then rappelled down the side of a fjord. This portion of the episode was given short-shrift. I suspect they had planned for more time to be spent on this, but it all got taken up by the arguments.

But they make it to the water where they are just coincidentally rescued by a boat that just happens by. After the big blow-up they settled down and worked together like they have in the past. They gave their usual calm explanations for what was going on. On the other hand, we have no idea whether the scenes were actually shot in the order shown. He wrote a pretty insulting commentary on his Facebook page about Cody while trying to defend himself from people pointing out his idiocy.

Here is some of that, along with my comments. I am a guy with average common sense. Cody can make fire. Cody is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to survival. Why in Gods name he chooses to dress like he does is a mystery to me. Norway was NOT the place to dress like you were at the beach. Has anyone ever been in degrees? Even properly dressed it is cold. That type of weather will kill you very quickly. However, one person dropping to hypothermia was a very serious issue.

That compromises the other person…. No, Joe is arrogant and refuses to learn. Right before his eyes Cody was doing just fine, and Joe refused to learn anything from that. He still insisted that hypothermia was imminent despite what he saw.

If you think dressing in shorts and socks in a sub zero extreme winter survival situation is prudent…. I highly suggest you go see your local psychologist. What counts is knowledge. Cody had it and Joe refused to acquire it. Cody did not need protection from himself—he knew what he was doing. Are you aware that kids dress up like Cody for Halloween? I have been sent pics….

Those are the same kids who are HIGHLY impressionable and will put on shorts and socks and walk out into the snow to pretend to be Cody. I will not allow that. You know what? When I was a kid I walked near- naked in the snow. Not for long. But I did fine, and came back in without hurting myself. It was an interesting experience. Not only that, but kids stay out in the cold with wet feet from sledding—I did it myself—and no worse for the wear.

Joe is rationalizing without thinking because he is so damn sure of himself, without justification. If you cant see that, sadly you are a fool without equal and obviously could care less about the effect you have on others.

Do I take risks on the show? If it were not for the fact I got the squirrel nest out of the tree, there would have been no fire. Matt and Cody would make a much more interesting show. Matt is much more knowledgeable and has great physical strength. Its fitting that Joe is now being fired for lying about his service record! Poor Mat is the only one left that hasnt been in trouble with the Discovery Channel!!

You would think that they would have learned their lesson when hiring exmilitary folks!! Steroids give him muscular arms and oversized Trapezoids. Of course he did. Cody was not out to impress anyone. Joe and Matt know their stuff seperately.. And Joe.. I am a hard core camper and I like hearing both of their perspectives..

Matt balances Joes strictness out.. Sad about Cody and change.. Lundin is such an unbelievable phoney, it is hardly surprising this happened. He can continue his fantasy world survivalism elsewhere.

Seems to me Discovery Channel fired Cody because Joe was being a whinny ass because Cody could survive much longer than him in the wild with no tools to use. I believe Joe was in the special services because in the special services the military sends them water and food and a place to camp. I completely disagree. However, based on my observations, Cody seemed like he was becoming a primadonna. It seemed like he wanted everything his way from the speed of their walk to the locations where they would build a shelter.

Matt appears to be easier to work with and much more realistic and flexible with his primitive style. For Cody, it seemed to be about his ability to go barefoot with shorts than it is about survival skills.

He accused Discovery Channel of not being concerned about safety. Could it be that Discovery Channel agreed with Joe that Cody was risking his life and the lives of those around him by not wearing shoes or long pants? There is a huge difference between wearing shorts and no shoes in Arizona and wearing no shoes and shorts during the winter in Norway, Alaska or Canada.

Yet, Cody tried to make it seem like he was used to going barefoot and shorts in sub zero temperatures. But any logical thinking person would recognize the difference even if Cody pretended the viewer lacked the intelligence to know that. I enjoy the show much more with Joe and Matt. Good job Discovery! He has drama queen tendencies and throws temper tantrums like a 10 year old boy.

He also way over-exaggerates risk. I got so sick of hearing him brag about his Super-Mitochondria too. I have lived in the jungles in several countries and islands. They are very wrong in many ways. My husband sure did! How cold is it in Jamaica? Does your husband go barefoot in temperatures below 0 and walk around in snow and ice? Its called earthing just as we use the earth in electrical circuits.

Andy, cold is no worse on your feet than any other extremity. Circulation is loss is what causes frostbite. Agree with this. In real life, no camera or viewers to entertain, a survivalist would seriously reconsider attacking a croc or snake but from the producers view im sure thats exactly what they want.

In terms of foot pads in hot climate its fine but also just silly not to use shoes and pants in snowy conditions. So each side is right and wrong at the same time. I was instantly hooked on his smile and charm.

I will continue to watch to see what this show is all about. So far so good. I hope to see more of the survival skills being presented. Hopefully, I will never needs the knowledge but helpful to have. Hey how about a female co — host. Roger that! While many aspects of military training are transferable to the civilian sector the unnecessary application of military tactics in civilian life is leading to the militarization of the civilian sector.

As you watch the show, count the times they could have elected an alternative course of action. Why go down cliffs instead of walking down the ridge? Why get wet crossing a lake instead of walking around? Why climb a tree to see which direction to go when you have to go downhill anyway? The survival techniques themselves are sound, i. The production choices that create the content between the techniques just might get you killed. There is a reason that even if they have water, food, and shelter Joe is always in such a hurry to get out of where ever they are….

Be careful out there. If you see Joe coming, run the other way. Your chances are better with Cody or Matt. I totally agree with this sentiment. My meagre survival training may have only come from my time as an Army cadet but this kind of Captain Caveman meets Captain America attitude is noisy and counter productive to survival. Chris would probably kill him himself. The whole business about Cody being barefoot in Norway?

While we need protein the body can survive without food for a few days but lack of water is far more dangerous. His focus should always be to find a good source of water and look for protein as you go without deviating too much from the path. For me the fact that Joe wanted to shelter in a wind trap shows his stupidity. Would you want him next to you in a trench? The man is an idiot. I look forward to seeing whatever show Cody ends up on.

Plenty of people have suggesting pairing up with Ray Mears, that sounds ok but my previous mention of Chris Ryan would be a great chance for Cody to show what a fool Joe is. I agree Bob the wrong man was fired. Joe is a hothead know it all. I think you got it backwards. Cody was a know it all when Dave was on and he remains a know it all with Joe there.

Cody was more concerned with showing everyone how great his primitive skills are and his toughness by not wearing shoes or long pants. I was struggling watching the show with Cody on but now it is enjoyable again. Matt is more concerned with working with Joe as a team than he is concerned with showing everyone how he is different and better than anyone else with his ability to be one with nature by walking around barefoot. Good riddance to an arrogant know it all.

But hey they teach us history in the south-eastern states. Look how far it got us but think about how far we could of actually gone already. If you did any research on Native Americans you would know that Native Americans wore some kind of footwear. This was usually a shoe made of soft leather called a moccasin.

In the cold northern areas, they wore a thick boot called a mukluk. Most Native American men wore a breechcloth. This was just a piece of material that they tucked into a belt that would cover the front and back. When it was warm this was all the men wore and in the winter, the men would wear leggings to cover up and keep their legs warm.

Men went shirtless when it was warm; when it was cold men wore shirts or tunics. Men wore blankets or cloaks when it got very cold.

The Native American women generally wore skirts and leggings. Often they wore shirts or tunics as well. All of their clothes were made by hand.

The women would generally make the clothes. First they would tan the animal skin. Joe sucks! Cody was far more skilled that the whining baby Joe. I doubt Cody could win. Absolutely everything about this guy positively screams FAKE! His writing, this crap show, and, finally, that his whining got his ass canned. Good riddance to another pathetic hack. You know what I would like to see DC? Bear Grylls and Joe the Tit Teti teaming up in senarios.

It hink the British accent of Bear could make the show with Joe the tit tude. Where Both of them would rely on the other widest experiences. I think Les and Matt would make a good team. Neither expert is driven by ego and wanting to be different and better than anyone else. I could see them compromise and working well together. I am happy that Cody gets to go back to Arizona, run around barefooted with shorts and teaching his skill to all of his mouth breathing fans.

I think Matt Graham and Cody Lundin would be the perfect match because they are real survivalist whom do it on a regular basis.

Its a show guys, lighten up….. That said, I love what Joe brings to the show. I think he can more than handle himself in a survival situation. That Tit of Teti is just a tiran.

Not a team player…. Lead follow or get out of the way tude that makes me want to vomit. Plus the dude look arabian or something. I am asking to see the birth certificate if being american here is an issue.

The show lost me when they used steel wool and a 9 volt battery to start a fire. Instead of laundry lint I keep cattail heads wrapped tight in a set of spare socks. One spark and instant flame. Better look for other sources to work with. Many of you apparently fail to realize the purpose of the show. The title alone says it all. Joe has saved Matt and Cody just ad many times as they saved him. The shows purpose is to teach people methods, not to be picked apart by armchair quarterbacks or backseat drivers.

I personally have executed many of the methods used in the show by every cast member. I have also learned something from each of them. I always have my flint steel with me but i also use a flashlight reflector to make a fire along with laundry lint I never seen anyone yet show how to use a reflector from a flashlight to make a fire the reflector only works in sunlight so I use my flint the rest of the time. All I can say is, yall call it surviving but that was just a game we played as kids.

You talk as if you actually used these methods before. Who is an idiot? You saw nothing. Furthermore, Matt brings so much more to the show than Cody every brought. Or is walking around without wearing shoes all you need to be entertained?

Methinks you know little to nothing about actual survival philosophy and methods outside of television. Matt moreso on the primitive hunting end, and Cody being more of an academic whose knowledge and experience allow him great ability to improvise and adapt where most cannot. At least not as first resorts.

Yes as Cody said no average person who wears shoes all there life can just up and throw there shows of and trek through the woods. Learn your history Bub. I just watched my last dual survivor I wish it was joe that was let go I pray to one GOD and his name is not joe Matt your a good man and you and Cody would of knocked out the ratings.

But with this arrogant bastard named teti. I will never watch this show again. Just saw the beginning and turned it off. They have the wrong guy on there. How many times that teti guy screwed up.

Cody was a little bizarre but he knew about all sorts of actual survival techniques including plants, insects and that teti just rushed into situations. Hear, hear. Newsflash, Joe! Water alone is not going to cut it; you need electrolytes, and there is no guarantee those will be as readily available by then.

Sparing five minutes to clean mister lizard and save him for later was the best move in the entire episode! After all the seasons I seem to believe the show is fake.

They give a veteran a rifle. Then he finds one bullet. You know what the most b. That you have to have a license to hunt anywhere in the world. What did discovery buy joe a license to? Because they only bought joe a license. Big game is a big deal with poaching. What are they going to let them poach and get a fine? It says where they exactly are in the world. What country. How fake could this get.

Terry, the show puts them in survival situations that have been planned as if they were stepping in where other people left off. Just watch the first five minutes of each episode, it goes over the scenario before the two step in. The items they find are there as a part of the scenario to be typical items that would have been there had the scenario actually happened.

Joe and Matt are simply providing guidance as to how to save yourself if you find yourself in that scenario. The show is about survival and being smart about your surroundings, a highly tempered bull headed Joe has no place in such survivalist show, cool heads always prevail.

Would be interesting to see what the Team of Cody and Matt can do. So true! The show is so boring with a know it all who wants to run the show his way. This comes out in his comments. Now a very weak lousy show. I still watch the show even though Cody tapped out.

Matt is a good replacement and just as weird as Cody…. I noticed that after the episode where joe teti skinned the dead stinkin bull he found in the savanah after Cody told him about disease was last time cody and joe got along after that episode things went sour for cody I liked cody he was super knowledgable joe appears to be crazy and I question his skills they should bring back cody.

From most of the posts on here, it appears Discovery Channel has destroyed a good program by letting useless garbage get in the way of its fans again what, your ratings dropping? I think Discovery is trying their hand at the WWE model of doing business. Ignore your fans entirely, then blame your employees when people quit watching. Matt is sick and works very well with joe, Mellows him out, butmatt is crazy good, just give matt his own show following him , and then put dave and cody backtogether, joe served our country, he needs to go relax, stay off tv he deserves it.

Peace who agree, haters hate, lets debate. The show is starting to suck! I think having a scenario with a guy who is a diabetic insulin dependant out in the wilderness without his meds, show how to survive without meds.

I think people would pay attention alot closer To the show. I like Matt Graham, he is a true survialist. Matt Graham could settle in for a month or two. You put Teti on a desert island for a month and Graham on another island opposite of Teti. Yeah, it was so funny when Joe jumped back into the water to find the lenses which fell out of the backpack.

This was so childish and irrational. I would love to see a show with Matt and Cody. I doubt I would find myself in some of the situations they have been in, but I would love to learn from them. Joe needs to go on R and R. I think Joe was using the lenses as an excuse to cliff dive. It s just too much stress too watch Joe all the time like full of steroides , maybe joe is good to make sol surviver maybe this way he cools down a bit because he can t be angry with him all the time , it s just too much temper.

My husband and I enjoyed Cody.. He knows how to survive…We have lost respect for this show and have removed it off our DVR. It become a hostile drama show when it use to have humor.

Read this Discovery channel!!!!!!! When you ratings go to shit, this is why. I have been watching the show since it first aired. When Dave left I was sad. I thought he and Cody were a good team. We were used to them. When Joe came it was quite a change, the guy knows his stuff and is very well trained. I truly miss Cody and wish him well. I have learned a lot from him on the show. I think the new guy, Matt will be ok, and I will continue watching the show.

Team Tedi! All the way! I love Cody, but he seems like he was acting way out of line in a number of takes from the behind the scenes video. Yeah, Tedi can be bull headed — but he always stays focused on the mission, and is willing to compromise.

Cody, not so much. I love him. So excited to see more of him and Tedi together. Why would you go out into the wilderness whit now was to build a fire, which seemed Cody was the only that could make that happen with natural supplies. You were in the military not a historian dick.

Discovery had Joe demonstrate survival techniques that he got in years in the military. The show is entertainment and was supposed to create conflict between the two survival styles. The show is good for learning basics but you take a course not watch a tv show to learn more. As far as entertainment Joe sucks I quite watching as much when Dave was gone. Discovery had them demonstrate needless advanced tactics that compromise lives for no good reason at all. At least Dave a Cody had a respect for each other by the time season one ended and seemed to build a friendship.

Where Joe seems too much of a dick to respect any tactics other than the tactics picked up from years in special forces. The show sucks now. They might want to work Bear Grils, and Survivor Man some overtime. Bad move Discovery. Graeme is Good, but Joe is a blow!! DC needs new management…. You are all idiotic. It is survival. These posts are obviously screened to show pretend support for Cody. If one were to come out of an accident, or be stranded with no shoes, in Greenland, then so be it.

However, this was another illustration of that fool walking around in an environment in need of more clothing. You do not, ever, get told that you will be going, with warning, to a location like that, and dress with shorts and no shoes. Also, his fore making was suspect. Anyway, Joe or not, Cody is highly foolish, and the Greenland episode only served to highlight it.

That, is in conjunction with him throwing the bag of gear into a lake when he was having a tantrum. No one in their right mind would choose Cody, if they had to pick a guide between him and Joe, At least if the weather was very hot, or very cold. Were NOT idiotic Sense less person. He just an idiot.. Lastly, in the same episode instead of respecting nature that snake was minding its own business.. I forced myself to watch it to see if Joe is any better with Graeme but nope..

Joe needs to go. He is so arrogance baster! Lundin explained that when he began to teach, survival skills were not subjects that were taken as seriously as they are now. Because of this, his friends and family questioned his way of life. He stated that he believes that most college students go through a similar process of being questioned, and that they have to press through that in order to be successful.

Life is short. Two: Because I know how people fucking learn. Lundin not only separates his books from others, but he also distances himself from other survival-themed television shows. Bear Grylls is an adventure actor. If George Clooney played a physician on television, would you want to get surgery from him?
