Dual Survival Drinking Game

Hey everyone, in case you haven't heard, I'm back in Seattle! It is definitely nice to be back, although this weather is killing me. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see everyone in the next month or so.

I haven't written a blog post in over a month, mostly due to moving, working, and having my own side projects, but I think this is a good one. I now present a drinking game for the greatest reality show on TV, Dual Survival. If you haven't seen it, it revolves around two nature survivalists placed into difficult situations where they must use their skills to build shelter, find food, and survive.

The kicker is that the two men have very different methods. Dave is a Vietnam Vet and a hunter, who would rather kill a meal than eat berries and bugs, while Cody is a hippie who doesn't ever wear shoes. Obviously, their conflicting ideologies provide a lot of the entertainment.

Even though Dual Survival is entertaining on its own, I created a drinking game with my cousin Katie that is sure to add some excitement to the duo's adventures. So here it is, the Dual Survival Drinking Game.
