This movie had alot of cool bushcraft skills being used in daily life. It is very neat to see how the traditional skills being used have a slightly different twist in the Russian culture. Some of the highlights where the type of deadfall trap they build to catch sable which is like a pine martin, the ski/snowshoe they build, the type of dugout canoe they build, using birch tar as a insect repellent..etc...I have watched it several times and would like to pass it on to those of you who are interested...here is a trailer

New Discovery Channel series Dual Survival premieres Friday 6/11
I received this email and thought I would pass on the news.
This show should be interesting to watch as both these guys have been around survival for quite some time.Ive never met either one of them but I know who they are and have read Codys Book.(98.6 deg the art of keeping your ass alive).From what Im picking up on in the trailers and from what I have read in Codys book my guess is that Cody is a bit more bushcraft minded and Dave a bit more military survival minded. Im sure our friend the Mora will make a few appearances.I hope there is not too much flash bang t.v. stuff and more actual outdoor living skills..well see...thanks Ben
Ben,
My name is David Tra, and I am a publicist for Discovery Communications. With your blog's interest in survival skills and the wilderness, I wanted to make sure to share this upcoming Discovery Channel premiere with you and your readers.
Experts agree there are some very basic - and universal - rules for surviving in the wild. Find shelter, find water, find food, find help. Beyond that, there's not much they agree on. Meet the military-trained Dave Canterbury and naturalist Cody Lundin - the odd couple of survival experts featured in Discovery Channel's all-new series Dual Survival, premiering Friday, June 11, at 10pm ET/PT. Together, Canterbury and Lundin take on some of the planet's most unforgiving terrain to demonstrate - in their own way - how the right skills and some creative thinking can keep you alive.
