I have way to much to say via a comment but Cody Lundin was the best thing to ever happen to dual survival… “he looks through mud and grit” if you know.. you know!!😂 I loovvee Cody lol
Wait you met him?!!! I didn’t even realize this was your channel when I first commented… I sweat this man is the reason I have a bow drill set! I’d marry him if I could lol
I find it interesting that he sticks with that knife. He could at least get himself a Garberg😂 Although there is something to be said about being a minimalist.
I think he mentioned in the interview that he doesn’t remember using any other knife. He does has a 90 degree spine to use on the firesteel. Have you checked the full interview in my channel ?
It is a myth that you need a 90 degree spine to strike a ferro rod or fire steel. If you can get metal off the rod with a quick enough motion, you get sparks, which potentially means a fire.
The Unaired Scenario (The arrival of the downfall of Dual Survival) (Disclaimer: Not exactly verbatim) Joe: "Hold up Cody!" Cody: "What is it Joe!" Joe: "Well first off, you aren't wearing any shoes Cody! But anyways. Do you see those two trees up ahead?" Cody: "Which two? There's a bunch Joe." Joe: "You don't see that!?" Cody: "What?" Joe: "Look about 40 meters in between those two trees on the ground!" Cody: "Oh that." Joe: "You see it Now.. Right!?" Cody: "Well.. if it's the same thing I'm seeing.. it looks like a pile of dirt." Joe: "Cody! That's an Ant Pile!" Cody: "Okay?.. What about it?" (Joe now explains to the cameraman) Joe: "When I was in Special Forces you are taught to always keep your head on a swivel. If you come across an Ant Pile of that magnitude in size, you Do NOT turn your back on it. And in Special Forces training, when you come across something that Lethal, you do Not approach it.. at all. PERIOD! In Special Forces, you are taught that an Ant Pile just doesn't have Not One or Two Ants ready to Ambush you. There are literally a lot. And in Special Forces, when just One Ant picks up on your scent, it lets all the other Ants know that you are around. And in Special Forces, you are taught that when those Ants realize that you are around, even if it's 40 meters away, you are Now compromised. There is No Way that I am going to allow my partner nor myself to face the danger of a massive horde of Ants to Ambush me or my shoeless partner. PERIOD!" Joe: "What about it!? Cody, you are out here with No shoes on and an Ant Pile that big is literally 40 meters away. I am Not turning my back on that Ant Pile!" Cody: "Joe, let's just keep going and just walk around the Ant Pile and find a place to build a shelter and make a fire and try to find some water and food." Joe: "Are you kidding me Cody!? No! I'm going to low crawl off to the left and flank them and Utterly Destroy that threat!" Cody: "Do what?" (Again, Joe talks to the cameraman) Joe: "You see, that's what I'm talking about. Cody doesn't understand that I am Special Forces with skills that HE doesn't have. And Cody is out here with No shoes on with a freaking Ant Pile right in the path of our mission target. If I allow my partner to get near that Ant Pile, it's game over. PERIOD!" Cody: "Joe, I've dealt with many Ant Piles over the years. Beginning when I was a child. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you." (Again Joe talks to the cameraman) Joe: "In Special Forces training, you are shown a Documentary on how dangerous Ants can be. It's called.. Attack Of The Killer Ants. Ants are nothing to take lightly. I've seen the destruction of what Ants can do." Joe: "Cody! If you aren't going to help me get rid of this threat, just move back about 80 meters or so. I'll handle this." Cody: "Okay Joe. Well, when you feel that your life isn't in any more danger, I'll be in the shelter I'll build sitting next to the fire I rubbed two sticks together and you can rehydrate and fill up on some calories from the food and water that I gathered for you.. i mean us." (Joe finally arrives at the shelter) Joe: "I had to call in an airstrike." Cody: "Why?" Joe: "There were just too many Ants to flank." Cody: 🤔 Joe: "If only I had a magnifying 🔍 glass..." Cody: "It was just an Ant Pile Joe." Joe: "Exactly Cody! ... WAS.. an Ant Pile... 🐜🐜
For sure. In the jungles of South America, Africa and South Asia the big blades are king and they most of the times the only knife they use. They mastered the tool like no other
@@Oldmora That's what I noticed also. They can do everything with the machete. They might have a small back up blade. Mostly not. You just can't chop branches with a Mora as machete can. Especially those branches with nasty poisonous thorns etc. Well. It might be possible, with a long stick pushing it first aside. But that's quite a hassle.
Cody lives in a vine dry desert where it rains a handful of times a year you fart too hard and wood will burn. I live in the north eastern Forrest and I wouldn't want to be with out my axe or heavy 2.2 pound rifle man's tomahawk.
Of course. have you check the full interview? He mentions exactly that, for different environments, different tools ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KvgZJciZBG4.html
