Matt Graham Career
Surviving in the wild is far from an exact science. Beyond the basics of finding water, food, shelter and eventually help, opinions differ. Two experts tell us how they think this is achieved in this show, as initial episodes feature professional survivalists Dave Canterbury and Cody Lundin demonstrating the skills and creative thinking that can help one cope while in a problem.
Equipped with minimal gear, the pair are left in remote locations – an uninhabited island off Nova Scotia, a New Zealand mountaintop, deep in Everglades, Thailand’s jungle, and the Baja California desert, to name a few-where they contend with the climate, and sometimes with each other.
Season 3 introduces US Special Ops veteran Joseph Teti to replace Canterbury, in the middle of Season 4 primitive survivalist Matt Graham of Discovery’s `Dude, You’re Screwed’ replaces Lundin, and partway through Season 5, the presenters become former US Army Green Beret Grady Powell and survivalist Bill McConnell.
