Claims of going without shoes for last 20 years

I've edited the text to reflect this as a claim, not a fact. It sure looks like those are shoes he's wearing in in 2004. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Those look like layers of socks to me. In one of the Dual Survivor episodes he traverses a snowy landscape wearing only socks, refusing shoes. In another he fashions sandals out of an old tire and explains that he sometimes wears sandals, but never shoes. I don't think his claim to going without shoes for 20 years is so far fetched that we can't take him at his word.67.61.88.109 (talk) 16:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personal speculation aside, all that's verifiable is that he made the claim. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:32, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the IP this aside from being unprovable from just the footage is very likely a few layers of nylons and a tennis type "shoe" (Not really a shoe more like a sandal) to increase his surface area. I agree I think it is not unbelievable to not wear shoes particularly since he does acknowledge wearing sandals. So in short I think it is fact that he has not worn any shoes these years.

Age

I think Cody is much older than 35. Can someone check please? Answer: The backpacker.com article from September 1999 stated that Lundin was 32 at the time.

I've found an additional source that puts his birth year at 1967 making him 44-45 as of 2012. --JournalScholar (talk) 03:55, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like the Cody Lundin wikipedia page cites any sources for his true birth date.206.71.239.16 (talk) 21:54, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any sources to back this up, but I actually spoke to him recently about his age and he said his birthday was 1976-10-08. Given that the birthdate is already original research, I'm going to change it to what I think is at least accurate original research. (Note, I was in touch with him because I'm trying to get him to release a Creative Commons licensed photo for us) Zell Faze (talk) 12:33, 14 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I found the Backpacker article and used it as a source for his birthdate being in 1967. Zell Faze (talk) 11:56, 18 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Catching Bears

Ok, it is uncredited, so I'm removing the comment that Cody is the only person licensed to catch bear with his bear hands in PA. Jslist (talk) 02:07, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-encyclopaedic content

His opinion as expressed on Facebook is irrelevant to the article. Please see WP:NOT for further details. TYelliot | Talk | Contribs 06:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Career reads like a resume

Added the peacock tag because its really just a list of his accomplishments and coverage. Its probably taken from promotional material. Needs far more NPOV and cleanup.

False college degree claims

Lundin claims to have a BA in "depth psychology" and "holistic health" from Prescott College but those majors are NOT offered. If you google "prescott college depth psychology," you'll see what I mean... 206.71.239.16 (talk) 20:35, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On Lundin's own website he says "1988 - 1991 BA Depth Psychology and BA Holistic Therapies, Prescott College, Prescott, AZ"

However, Prescott College does NOT offer "Holistic Health" or "Holistic Therapies" for any BA degree. 206.71.239.16 (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What you are doing here, is engaging in what is called "Original Research" or "Synthesis". If you have evidence that he actually falsified those claims, then please present a source making that assertion. Cody claims to have taken those courses in 1988-1991. Colleges, particularly ones that offer "non-traditional" degree concentrations like Prescott, often change their available degrees over time, and it's patently absurd that the fact that 22 years after the fact they don't offer the same degrees means that he's lying. I'm going to delete your "Dubious" tag, as you are clearly trying to create "drama" where there is no REPUTABLE SOURCE claiming that there is an issue...and you've violated quite a few Wikipedia rules with your allegations. --Bryon Morrigan -- Talk 23:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Product Promotion

The sentence under the "Dual Survival" subheading, "Lundin's most frequently used knife on the series was the Mora Classic 1," seems to promote a commercial product while adding little or nothing to the person bio it purportedly supports. As a relatively new editor, I don't know for sure if this violates Wikipedia's guidelines. Perhaps a more experienced editor could review this and make a decision. Makeitobjective (talk) 08:57, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with you on this. I've removed the sentence. It seems irrelevant and simply promotes an item. Unless there is something special about a Mora 1 knife, I see no reason to keep it. Anyone else have any opinions on the matter? Zell Faze (talk) 12:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The same user who added it to this article also added Dave Canterbury's knife to his article and it was later removed. I would imagine on similar grounds, though I didn't look into it. Zell Faze (talk) 12:17, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
