The importance of learning survival skills

What if things go pear-shaped—can you find water or food and survive a bad situation? How reliant are you on the system?

Cody Lundin is a renowned professional survival instructor with over 32 years of experience. He founded the Aboriginal Living Skills School (ALSS) in Prescott, Arizona, teaching wilderness survival, primitive living skills, and urban preparedness.

Mastering bushcraft skills builds resilience—fire, shelter, and foraging keep you free when systems fail.

Put another way, he is one of the most hardcore survivalists in the world, and having him on my show was an honour.

He was a former host of the reality show Dual Survival, but he left after a disagreement with his co-host. I didn’t discuss all of that with him, but you can find information about it across the internet.

He is known for his practical approach to wilderness survival and is easily one of the most knowledgeable experts in the field. And, yes, he really is an expert by definition and experience. He walks the talk.

A knife, a spark, and know-how—that’s all you need to outlast nature’s worst or society’s collapse.

Survival skills are good

Self-reliance is essential for handling situations independently, allowing you to care for yourself in emergencies. It's obvious, yet many people are useless and have outsourced their thinking cap to others.

Cody designed and built his home in the middle of nowhere

Preparation (or, the term I like, prepping) is key, as it minimises anxiety and stress while ensuring you are ready for whatever comes your way. By having the necessary supplies and knowledge at your disposal, you increase your chances of staying safe in various circumstances.

Plus, it's a pretty cool party trick.

Klaus Schwab wants you to own nothing and governments want you to trust them, which sounds awful to me.
