Has anyone read:
98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive
or
When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes
?????
I meant to ask, if you do have them, what do you think of them??
I woke up with a monster cold today! I can't think!
Wow, that name jogged a memory, I had to do some quick research to remember, including a quick run thru Google Images, which was kinda scary.
I recalled (and regrettably re-discovered) this big tanned larded out guy (i.e. twice my size, which these days is saying something) with carefully braided hair and no visible pants who somehow landed on the cover of Backpacker around 1991 promoting this back to the land, almost certainly false and adopted native sensibility. Kind of like those idiots with "dreamcatchers" hanging from their rear-view mirrors.......they're no more Native than I am which means not at all unless there's a bunch of Ukrainian Indians we somehow missed; geez, is that what they meant by the Lost Tribe?). I remember that the article accompanying this clown's photo was called something like "This Man Can Make You a Better Hiker" or along those lines.
I recall the magazine cover as well as anyone else who read it years ago; if you saw it during dinner or encountered it years later at a hostel or elsewhere you laughed so hard you shot broccoli out your nose. I think it was probably the braids.
Glad to see Mr. Lundin is still cashing in, more power to him.
I believe the late Mr. Barnum or Mary Louise Guinan had something to say about those born every minute and how to greet them by name......
LMAO @ the carefully braided hair!!
I've noticed that the show he is on, Dual Survivor, that his hair never falls out of his braids. My hair starts coming out of my braids in a hour or so on a good hike.
My Internet skills are still in the 14th century. Somebody needs to find and post that Backpacker cover for all of us to see and enjoy; research tells me it was September 1999, not 1991.
I regret the error; too much broccoli coming out the nose.

I know! I may end up going ahead and ordering one. But which one?? LOL
I have both copies on reserve at the local library. I thought I would borrow and check them out first.
Just thumbed through SAS by John Weiseman. Covers too much. Kind of preachy.
You are in AZ. Have you ever thought about taking one of his classes??
Skids
Insanity: Asking about inseams over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein, (attributed)
I have momentarialy thought about it. Over the years I have been tempted by a number of outdoor/survival courses taught by several different instructors. Even Ray Jardine, who lives near Tucson, has, from time to time, advertised his own outdoor seminars in AZ.
I think about it, check out the price, look in my wallet, and somehow never get around to it, for one reason or another.
Cody has a new TV show Dual Survival. Both his books have sold well for me at Campmor. Customers really seem to enjoy them. He is a very nice guy and very humble.
cheers
I'm almost done with 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive. Ive enjoyed it. It has a lot of useful information in it. I have even enjoyed the illustrations. I wonder if Cody drew them as they are not signed.
I am reading the book now, the illustrations were done bya local artist. You will see the info on the back cover.
Interesting writing style.
Do you think a gallon of water will really fit in a large condom?
That depends. What do you think is a large condom?

"If a man speaks in the woods, and there is no woman there to hear, is he still wrong?"
I read when all Hell Breaks Loose a few years ago. It was very practical, sensible information and lets hope nobody ever has to use any of it. Lot of stuff about how to properly dispose of a dead body, rat-meat recipes and such.
I personally liked the book and re-read it a few times since original purchase.
Lets just say a womans ruler in that department is more honest then any males! LOLThat depends. What do you think is a large condom?
magnums is brand name of large size condom
