Season 2 episodes (12)

1 Slash and Burn
4/22/11
Dave and Cody show how lost hunters can survive in the harsh conditions of Tierra Del Fuego, just 500 miles from Antarctica. To demonstrate how to survive an extreme injury, Dave self-inflicts a laceration and uses black powder to cauterize the wound.
2 Buried Alive
4/29/11
Armed with what's left of an avalanche victim's gear, Dave and Cody show how to survive in the harsh Rocky Mountains. Facing sub-zero temperatures, they make their way down a jagged ice waterfall, build a snow cave and try to salvage a dead elk carcass.
3 Stuck In The Muck
5/6/11

4 Bitten
5/13/11
Dave and Cody show how to survive the rugged jungle in Thailand using only the gear an ill-equipped ecotourist might carry for a day trek: a Thai jungle knife, steel wool, a sharpening stone, a damaged cell phone and a bag of tobacco.
5 Frozen Plains
5/20/11
Dave and Cody take on the scenario of two ranchers, stranded on the windy plains in the dead of winter. Their only survival supplies are the charred remains of a burned-down shack: an axe head, a bison hide, a glass jar, a metal tin and a steel striker.
6 Out of Africa
5/24/11
Cody and Dave take on a survival scenario in South Africa's backcountry where dehydration kills in hours and hungry super-predators kill even faster. Armed with nothing but a machete, they show how to escape the bush without getting eaten alive.

5/27/11
Dave and Cody take on a survival scenario in the wet cloud forests of Panama with only a poncho, specimen jar and a broken lighter to aid in their quest for civilization.
8 Adrift
6/3/11
Dave and Cody take on the survival scenario of two castaways adrift at sea and show how to survive being stranded on a deserted jungle island in the South Pacific. This time, Dave goes barefoot.
9 Eating Dust
6/10/11
From the barren salt flats to the vast desert woodland, Dave and Cody battle the elements in the sun scorched desert of Baja, Mexico. With few supplies, they each demonstrate how to make use of an unlikely resource- urine.
10 Hippo Island
6/17/11
In Botswana's Okavango Delta, Dave and Cody seek to escape the dangerous and deadly hippo-infested marshland using only a dying GPS and waterlogged binoculars.

6/24/11
In Kentucky, Dave and Cody take on a scenario of two kayakers who are dumped into the cold river just a few hours before sundown. To make things worse, they become separated from each other by two miles of rushing river. Then, Dave traps an irate skunk.
12 Road to Nowhere
7/1/11
In the isolated woods of Northern Maine, Cody and Dave take on the role of two travelers, lost and out of gas on an abandoned logging road. Their only resource is a broken down truck which they pillage for all it's worth including a can of dog food.

I've watched the show since it's beginning and I've gotta say the new season is so full of Bill shot it's not funny. It is a total replay of episodes from seasons 1&2, only with different actor. Yes I said actor... Joe is a bad reminder why we don't watch Steven Segal movies anymore. I do like Matt as he seems to be genuine and very down to earth in wanting to share what he knows as well as learn new approaches to survival from his partner. Joe does not appear to want to learn anything from Matt.

First two seasons were great. Season three was alright, but I quickly took a dislike to Joe's constant risk taking and "mission" minded philosophy. It was pretty clear that Cody would not be around much longer. Season four took on an even more scripted feel, with the Duo being put into more and more hellish survival situations, and with the departure of Cody and arrival of Matt the show just got outrageous. Again Joe has to play the alpha male and keep up with the risk taking for the sake of ratings, and a lot of times he completely fails to appreciate Matt's perspective. Didnt even bother with season 5.

Dave Canterbury was a huge asset to the first two seasons. I was sorry to hear that Discovery Channel did not renew his contract for another season. I've only seen a few episodes from Season 3, and while I'm glad to see Joseph Teti is upholding the stark military contrast in how to view survival situations. I feel as though the show has lost some of it's credibility, not because of reasons behind why they decided to get rid of Dave Canterbury, but because in doing so they made it seem like the first two seasons were basically a farce by not even acknowledging that Dave is no longer in the third season, and the fans wouldn't seem to notice. Overall this is a very educational show, I just don't respect the Discovery Channel for it's inconsiderate treatment of one of this shows veteran mentors, whatever the reason. I just hope they don't do the same thing to Cody Lundin, or Joseph Teti at this point.
