Dual Survival is an American reality cable television series aired on the Discovery Channel.[1] The show features a pair of survival experts in challenging environments.[1]

For the first two seasons the show featured the differing outdoor survival philosophies and skills of Cody Lundin, a naturalist and primitive-skills expert who runs the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Arizona and Dave Canterbury, a military-trained survival instructor who runs the Pathfinder Training School in Ohio.[2] Beginning with the third season, Canterbury was replaced with Joseph "Joe" Teti.

Production

Dual Survival's first and second seasons originally aired in 2010 and 2011, respectively.[3][4] A third season began production in 2012.,[5] and began airing on January 1, 2013.[6] The show was renewed for a fourth season . The fourth season production will start in October and production will finish in April 2014 and will begin airing in June 2014.[7]

Format

In Dual Survival's first two seasons, each episode features Lundin and Canterbury in a different survival situation: marooned on a deserted island, lost in a forbidding jungle, or stranded in an arid desert. They have to survive for a number of days with minimal gear.[8] Along the way, Lundin and Canterbury demonstrate various survival skills such as using primitive methods to make fire and obtaining potable water.

Conflict often arises due to the differences between Lundin and Canterbury's individual survival philosophies and methods. Lundin, who does not wear shoes or long pants, sometimes slows down the duo when navigating through particularly tough terrain.[9]

For season 3, Canterbury is replaced by Joe Teti.[10] Teti is a former Force Recon Marine and retired Army Special Forces.[11]
