This week’s video, we had the pleasure of filming with Cody Lundin. Many of you many recognize Cody from his survival TV series on Discovery Channel. The guy is truly a master of his craft.
Imri asked Cody how he would make a knife in the field… Cody replied back with “It’s not a knife you need in an emergency… It’s a CUTTING EDGE.” Imri & I were expecting Cody to show us how to make a knife out of bone or scrap steel. Instead, Cody slapped two rocks together and shit out a sharp edge that could easily cut cloth, cordage, or wood. Note, it wasn’t what he did, but the EXACT way he hit them together. Angle is everything. A picture is worth a thousand words… but a video with Cody is priceless!!!
Cody and Imri hit it off as friends a while back, and Cody agreed to film a couple videos for Tactical Rifleman. Understand he doesn’t do this video stuff anymore. So, we are honored to have him select Tactical Rifleman to showcase some of his favorite skills.
Cody is a natural instructor and true master of primitive survival skills. If you want to take classes with Cody, you can sign up for his Aboriginal Living Skills School, at https://www.codylundin.com/
We hope you enjoy the video. Please let us know if you want us to invite Cody back. We are already jumping for the chance. TR

Great theatching !

To me, Cody is also holding a axehead. So, not only would I have a cutting edge blade from the stone, I would also be able to fit what is left of that stone into the fork of a 3 to 4ft stick about 4 to 5 inches round. Tie that sucker down tight! or wedge it if possible… and now I have a functioning axe. I love Cody.
Why We Love Cody 💓
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 Cody, you aren't wearing any shoes! 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."
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 🐜🐜🦗🦗🐜🦗…."
When Joe arrived, the producers should of changed the show's name to Duel Survivor
That was a Fantastic Video I learned lots just by watching 👀 you & Cody! . Definitely keep them coming more with Cody.😊
Okay that was actually really cool, trying it at the creek tomorrow.
Really cool, thank you
Take out that intro and just put Cody on. We know his magic
Wow wowww
Hat’s off to this great sensei
Awesome demo and instructions! Thank you Cody.
I have a lot of respect for Cody's knowledge and his ability to stick to his beliefs. But the thing I like most about the guy is his sense of humor. It's subtle, dry and makes me laugh out loud. I con only imagine how much his students come out of his courses with.
Cody is the real deal and is so passionate about this shit. He was put here to teach. Awesome video!
Cody does great 29 miles around his house. Gives you same advice you get from any 29th century book.
Fantastic information on how to make rock knives! WOW, amazing! Thank you.
This video alone is the selling point for attending his school! We love you Cody👍👍😁🇺🇸
😊
That you cody mccoy from nys
Cody really rocks
First guy that explained this in a way that made sense, to me any way. I gave up on stone work a while ago because I couldn't understand it
I needed to cut some twine at work but we aren’t allowed to carry knives or have scissors outside of the office (Ik they treated us like kids) so I grabbed a piece of shale from the planters and slammed it on the ground, grabbed a shard and used that. You’d be surprised how much use I got out of that little shard
Cody is amazing,he should have he's own TV survival show,sometimes working with Dave.
God I miss dual survival with Cody and Dave !! Was the best show on tv! Wish they would get back together and do one more season ❤️🙏🙏
Wonderfull
Love Cody, only wish he wore shoes. Still makes me cringe
Thanks for the class folks. Good to see Cody doing his thing still. 🏆
Great video!

It's good to see Cody doing well. Last I heard he lost his marbles on the set of Dual Survival.
Cody is the man! Start your own survival show Cody!!!
This is something i didnt know i needed to know
Terrific!
Awesome! Thanks Cody. Great class. Imri you made that look too easy 😂👏 nice work guys!
Awesome knowledge! Looks like lots of fun. Cody and Imri are great together.
This is excellent information to know & have. Great video.
Cody is awesome so humble!!!!!
My grandfather used to knap out arrowheads and spear heads, he could walk down a field and pick out flint and I could never see what he noticed. My dad could walk a corn field when we would dove hunt and would always come back with one to two arrowheads he found.
Watched Codys show all the time on Discovery and now they have nothing but garbage on it.
Great stuff, really good to see Cody teaching and doing his thing 💪💪👍👍⚓⚓🇺🇲🇺🇲
Man i love these videos, now if Cody were to expand on this subject and show us how to make rope from skinning twigs and attach handles on the blades it would blow my socks off ! Keep it up boys, we are thirsty for more
Darn good stuff.
