Cody Lundin Biography

CODY LUNDIN is an internationally recognized professional survival instructor with more than 24 years of hands-on teaching experience. His deep-rooted passion for self-reliance began in his childhood, influenced by his homesteading grandparents in rural South Dakota. Their lifestyle, deeply connected to the land, instilled in Lundin the value of living with minimal resources, a foundation that has significantly shaped his career and philosophies.

Raised as the only child of a military family, Lundin's early years were marked by frequent relocations, including time spent in Europe. During these formative years, nature served as a steadfast companion, whether near or far from home. His later teenage years were spent in Wyoming, where his interest in self-reliance burgeoned as he ventured into the wilderness with minimal gear, honing his survival skills.

Lundin's journey took a transformative turn in the red rock wilderness of Arizona, where a profound experience with the natural world inspired him to pursue a path of sharing his knowledge with others. In 1991, he founded the Aboriginal Living Skills School with less than $10, channeling the same resilience and determination he had cultivated through personal trials. He is also the best-selling author of "98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive" (2003) and "When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes" (2006), both of which have achieved international acclaim.

Known for his expertise in practical outdoor skills, Lundin has lived extensively off the grid, including two years in a brush shelter in the woods. His deep understanding of survival physics, psychology, and physiology has made him a sought-after consultant and instructor. He has worked with various media outlets, private entities, and governmental agencies, sharing his knowledge on survival, primitive living skills, and urban preparedness.

Lundin's media presence includes appearances on "The Today Show," Discovery Channel, and History Channel, among others. He gained notable recognition as the third person ever to appear on the cover of Backpacker magazine in September 1999. Additionally, he co-hosted the popular Discovery Channel show "Dual Survival," which has reached four seasons. He also consults for esteemed organizations such as National Geographic Television, PBS, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Beyond his school, Lundin is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and the Ecosa Institute, where he teaches his own survival and sustainability curriculums. He continues to educate with a distinctive blend of intensity and humor across various platforms, both domestically and internationally.

Lundin resides in Northern Arizona in a self-designed, self-reliant, passive solar earth home, which features innovative systems like rain catchment and composting, eliminating the need for conventional heating and cooling. This lifestyle reflects his commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship, themes he often addresses in his public engagements and personal endeavors.
