Dual Survival Returns

The second season of Dual Survival starts tonight: 9:00pm EDT.

Here is how tonight’s episode is described:

SLASH AND BURN

Dave and Cody show how lost hunters can survive in the harsh conditions of Tierra Del Fuego, just 500 miles from Antarctica. To demonstrate how to survive an extreme injury, Dave self-inflicts a laceration and uses black powder to cauterize the wound. Then, the pair have to cross a frigid bog to reach the coast, facing the hazards of hypothermia and the threat of being swallowed whole by the sucking waters.

Cody Lundin, just by existing, shows that bare feet work perfectly well in these sorts of survival situations. From my experience, about the only time that footwear really is required is when it gets too cold. (I’ve also read of some corals that can rip feet — and shoes — to shreds.)
