Cody Lundin [1][2] (born March 15, 1967) is a survival instructor at the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona, which he founded in 1991. There he teaches modern wilderness survival skills, primitive living skills, urban preparedness, and homesteading.[3][4][5] Lundin was also a former co-host of Discovery Channel's reality television series, Dual Survival.[6][7]

Lundin is an only child whose father was in the military.[7] He spent his early childhood moving around until finally settling in Laramie, Wyoming, where he attended junior high and high school.[7] After graduating from high school he lived on the streets, in a commune, in the backyards of friends, and then in a brush shelter while he attended college in Prescott, Arizona.[7] Lundin holds a B.A. in Depth Psychology and Holistic Health from Prescott College.[8]

Lundin is the author of two books on survival and preparedness: 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive and When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes.[9] Lundin has also provided a foreword for Steve Hart's Citizen Survivor's Handbook, a parody of British wartime propaganda focusing on the importance of psychological endurance in times of crisis.[10]

In 2004, Lundin hosted the Discovery Channel show, Lost in the Wild.[11]

Lundin was a co-host of the television series Dual Survival from 2010 until 2014.[6][11] On the show, Lundin demonstrated various survival skills while wearing shorts in all weather and going barefoot.[1] On February 17, 2014 Lundin announced on his Facebook page and on his website that he had been fired from the series due to differences of opinion on matters of safety.[12][13]

Lundin says that he lives off-the-grid in a self-designed, passive solar earth home in the high-desert wilderness of northern Arizona, collecting rainwater, composting waste, and paying nothing for utilities.[14][15]
