We must remember that TV shows are made for our intertainment. We should learn survival from better places than a TV show. You may learn somethings from the show but not depend on it as your main sorce of information. I got a message from Cody and he confirmed that Dave has been replaced and for reasons of his credibility and that a survival instuctor must be trusted, for peoples lives depend on him/her. He did not say anything bad about Dave. I liked Dave and it's a real shame that he did that because when it boils down to it, his military record had nothing to do with his ability to teach survival tech.

Ok guys and gals...

Here is a web site to make it easy for you who wonder about food.

Some of this will work out to about $3.50 a meal.  Some more some less.

@Terry I agree with firing him because he falsified his creds.  It does not however mean he doesn't know his stuff; just that he lied about his qualifications.   Just being in the military does not make you an expert in survival.  Being an ex-sailor; I was trained in firefighting, damage control, and water survival, but that is all.  I have not watched Dave, but I would bet that any competent actor could take his place as long as they were taught the technique and given the lines.   Any doubts, watch Morgan Freeman on the Science Channel "Through the Wormhole."

As far as I'm concerned, Dave's credibility is now zero, and that makes everything he says suspect.  Assuming the show's producers confirmed that he had indeed falsified his service record, firing him was the right thing to do.  Serious survival shows are teaching their viewers how to survive in different wilderness conditions.  This is serious stuff!  Unfortunately, the stars of these shows aren't required by law to have any relevant qualifications, as far as I know.  So the information they provide their viewers probably shouldn't be taken on its face value alone.  If you want reliable survival information, you need to verify the credibility of the source.

Clint, I may have to wait for help on the link. My computer skills are low. I thought we would talk over what happened and see what people have to say about it. I liked Dave, as did alot of other people. This is a forum we have here and sometimes we can talk about adult subjects. Questions like, "Did they go too far with his dismissal"...."Did he betray everyones trust"... "We just don't care, we want Dave back"....and so on. I just want to hear peoples opinion.

Robert here is one link....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_Survival

Just because it is on Wikipedia does not make it so.  Dave was my favorite of the two.  We will see who they get to replace him.

Robert....

I am up for the info.  If it is on the Internet then I would just like the links will be enough and for those who want to read can go there and for those who don't care can pass.  Thanks Robert.....

Well guys it is much deeper rooted than that. I can post what he claims as his record and I can post what the military says his duty record is. I thought, ya'll would know about it. It's up to ya'll, "do ya'll want me to post the two conflicting records". I'm just wanting ya'lls opinion on this guy that had everyones trust as a survirvor teacher and does this change things for ya'll.
