Tropical Island Survival on The Today Show, 2004

[thewrongguy]

Wow sorry cody for idiots like them, there like "lets drink and be merry" "dont worry about survival"

[white9257]

I'll bet this was one of Cody's most unpleasant experiences, typical of what he shuns... Must've been tougher for him to sit through their light-hearted crap than cross the Mojave or the jungles of the Dominican Republic - barefoot!

[P226nut]

I can see Cody now comforting girl Friday while he buries those idiots after they die of dehydration

[fuzzydota]

so cody keep the hotty alive and laughs at the dumb brit lol?

[aseglkj]

I really hope that richard branson crashes somewhere in the desert with one of his expensive ass planes and then slowly goes mad as he dies from dehydration.

[Mr4433]

Man, I am doing a ton of research into survival tactics, and Cody is by far one of the best. The three amigos here that are paying no mind to Cody are closly representing most of society today. When shit hits the fan, most of you people will be dead within 3 months. I have a strong feeling that our world will be changed forever very very soon and ill get a chance to put what I have learned from people like Cody to the test. I would guess that an EMP will hit soon, and most will perish.

[KerreyTheBitterSugar]

man those three guys are total retards not paying attention to what cody is saying or whatever

[nephildevil]

the first thing cody needs to do to survive is use his knife to kill those three idiots and tie n gag that slut for later consummation, coz if he doesnt they will work so hard on his nerves by being the idiots they are that he cant concentrate on the basics of survival. Not that he'd really need his knife for that, they're just douches

[tekknorat]

LOLed hard as the dude in the middle started to show his "survival" kit :D

[mistasho17]

Funny how they did this video on Richard Bronson's (Virgin's owner) island.

[playdrums]

Cody got paid well for this im sure, which he deserved. I don't think Cody cares if anyone listens. he sure as hell is teaching his knowledge and if nobody cares to listen thats their loss.

[Yomamasahox1]

i would like to see this situation turn to a worse case senerio.

maybe a snake popping out of no where and striking one. panic sets in. cody man handles the situation. only to find out that their phones dont work and the storm is headed in and no ships nor planes/coppers can reach them until the storm passes thru... only its class 100 hurricane and codys spiritual voice saids storm will end in 39 weeks. girl gets to b community porker. hows that for story

@Yomamasahox1 rofl

[aguswidjaja]

You need a knife to make the hole on the board. And it takes a lot of practice before you can make fire in that method. So instead of bringing a knife, why not bring a lighter.

[Utsawin614]

@aguswidjaja Cheap lighters can break easily, get wet, or run out of butane. Zippo's require a constant supply of lighter fluids. A knife can be used for making fire, hunting, shelter, s&r, even boil water if you are clever enough to think of a way.  Lighter's are convenient but they just don't cut it for survival.

[K1LL3R76]

@Utsawin614 Firesteel I hear works fairly good since its a 3000 Celcius spark that works in rain, not sure how well it works but I hear good things about it.

[tekknorat]

@K1LL3R76 the key to success using firesteel is dry tinder

[K1LL3R76]

@tekknorat And magnesium (good kind, not crappy kind;p)

[tekknorat]

@K1LL3R76 not really necessary, if you have good ferro rod (ok, haven't used that block type, where the silver side is magnesium and then there is ferro rod on the other side, but it probably works better than plain ferro rod). Dunno, been using chinese ferros that cost like 4-5$, and they throw good amount of sparks, so I don't see a reason to buy one for like 15$.

[fireflyburns]

Three dip shits.

[TheDudeRulez09]

I guarantee once the other dumbshits are dead Cody would be having medium rare side of dumbass!!!! and kicking back with Vandella under the shade of a palm thatched cabana.

[t07xqj4o]

These pompous reporters/show hosts just like to look down on Cody. Even the donny and marrie show belittled him. How small is there world exactly for them to actually feel that their jobs are so important.

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@t07xqj4o donny is a dipshit and marrie is a self-centered bitch so who cares about their opinions?

[eyeh8dog]

Hey Cody,  I listened to you.

[moodybobby]

Hopefully they wined and dined cody and set him up too. Because they sure in the hell wasn't listening cody was just wasting his breath!

[solord]

@moodybobby And that's a damn shame: Cause if and when the shit hits the fan, all of us need to know some this stuff that guys like Cody Ludin and Ray Mears teaches you how to survive on your own. I bet you those guys weren't Boy Scouts and they damn weren't in the military or special forces. So in all likelihood they're dead men starving when the shit goes down.

[toolslinga]

I'd like to maroon f'n matt lauer. What a total panzy. Here, let me ask you a question and then ignore you when you attempt to answer me.

[guitarpikz]

i guess...the three goons...gonna die, cody is the only one that takes it seriously

[KonstantinKuehn]

i hope they all die shit what assholes! they made cody look like a freak! totally insensitive dumbasses! oh well cody will have the last laugh when they die in the wild!

[slingninja82]

what does he carry on his neck?

[888zzz]

bushcraft knife. he sells them on his site.

[trextrextrex]

It's an inexpensive Mora knife. He has braided Paracord to carry it with. A whistle strung on the cord and a cheap lighter taped to the sheath. Also maybe a button led light.

The book "98.6 degrees the art of keeping your ass alive" is worth it just for the chapter on hydration.

Cody is sharp. When I get some time I am gonna do one of the desert trips.
