In the sixth episode of Dual Survival season 2, entitled "Out of Africa," survival experts Dave Canterbury and Cody Lundin find themselves in the heart of Africa, tasked with surviving in a harsh desert environment. The episode begins with the two men being dropped off in the middle of nowhere, with only a map and a few basic supplies to aid them.
As they begin their journey, Dave and Cody quickly realize just how difficult this challenge will be. Not only is the temperature soaring and the terrain unforgiving, but they must also contend with the threat of dangerous wildlife, including venomous snakes and hyenas.
Despite these challenges, Dave and Cody remain focused and determined to find the resources they need to survive. They start by searching for water, trekking through the desert in search of a viable water source. Along the way, they encounter several other challenges, such as steep inclines and rocky terrain, but they press on, driven by their desire to succeed.
Eventually, Dave and Cody find themselves at a dried-up riverbed, where they begin the arduous process of digging for water. Using their primitive digging tools, they slowly but surely dig deeper and deeper until they finally hit water.
With water secured, Dave and Cody begin focusing on food. They set traps for small game, using their knowledge of animal behavior and natural resources to build effective traps. Over the course of several days, they catch several small animals, including lizards and rodents, which they cook over an open fire.
Despite the success they have in finding water and food, Dave and Cody also face several setbacks. Dave injures his leg while scrambling down a steep hillside, which slows their progress and makes it more difficult for them to move quickly and efficiently. They also struggle to find adequate shelter from the scorching sun and the cold desert nights, leading to exhaustion and a general feeling of discomfort.
Throughout it all, however, Dave and Cody maintain their positive attitudes and never give up. They rely on their extensive survival skills and knowledge of the natural world to overcome every obstacle and challenge, proving once again that they truly are masters of survival.
In the end, "Out of Africa" is a thrilling and inspiring episode that showcases the incredible resilience and resourcefulness of Dave and Cody. Through all the adversity they face, they remain committed to their goal of surviving in the wilderness, using their skills, ingenuity, and a little bit of luck to come out on top.
