THIS Is What Happens When You Hang Out With Marines

Wednesday, February 26th, 2014

Recently, some SSD readers were upset when I posted a photo of the POTUS wearing a rather misshapen helmet cover. Apparently, suggesting a Marine may have pulled a prank is un-PC.

Earlier today I received an “I Spy” photo of a Marine member of a Female Engagement Team taken from page 56 of JFQ Issue 70, 3rd Quarter 2013 article on “Insights From The Women In Combat Symposium” in my inbox. No sooner than I noticed she had an empty holster did the version I’ve shared above arrive. The extra artwork is the work of a Marine although I must say his mastery of graphics design singles him out as a guy who’s done a staff tour.

Yes, Marines have senses of humor and THIS is what happens when you hang out with Marines.

Dual Survival Update

Dear Campers,
Unfortunately, I have been fired by Discovery Channel for differences over safety and health concerns on the show and will no longer be a part of Dual Survival.

Although I’ll miss elements of the show, what I’ll miss the most are my fans and the opportunity to teach – on a global level – life saving skills, indigenous culture, and values of integrity and respect toward our natural world.

I have received numerous letters from viewers. Many are from kids, or their parents or grandparents, describing in detail how the show has changed their lives. It has brought families together, inspired kids to go outdoors, and motivated moms and dads around the world to take that family camping trip, many for the first time. If I can use a TV show to encourage people to turn off TV and turn on nature, I have done my job.

Thank you all very much for your support over the years. Be safe and prepared, and maybe I’ll train with you in the woods some day!

Stay classy,
Cody Lundin

ZULU SIX Starring Dale Comstock, Jim Erwin and Max Mullen

A new movie starring Dale Comstock, Jim Erwin and Howard ‘Mad Max’ Mullen films this spring. As you can see by the trailer, some of the work has already been completed.

Written/Produced/Directed by Jeff Reyes with Chris De Pretis as additional Producer, ‘ZULU SIX’ looks to be a zombie movie. But with these guys involved, it might prove to be pretty interesting. Both Comstock and Erwin have recently been very active building their individual brands by utilizing the experience gained during military service in an Army Special Mission Unit but Max Mullens is no slouch himself. In certain circles he is very well known, having been recently inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame. Heck, he even boasts his own action figure.

Vertx Sponsored Pro Staff Member, MMA Fighter And Combat Veteran Tim Kennedy Announces Next Fight

Thursday, February 6th, 2014

Cincinnati, OH 03-FEBRUARY 2014 – Vertx® along with sponsored MMA fighter, combat veteran, and Vertx® Pro-Staffer, Tim Kennedy, is excited to announce Kennedy’s upcoming bout versus Michael Bisping on April 16, 2014 at the Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale in Quebec City, Canada.

“Working with Tim is a top priority for Vertx® and we are excited to sponsor him in this highly anticipated fight with Michael Bisping,” said Ginger Rohlfs, Director of Marketing for Vertx. “We are beyond thrilled to be able to lend our support to our friend, colleague and partner.”

After years of back-and-forth “talking” between the two, Kennedy received the nod to fight Bisping this past January. Coming off a three-fight win streak, including a first-round TKO victory in his last appearance over Rafael Natal at UFC Fight for the Troops in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, Kennedy is more prepared than ever. Carrying an undefeated knock out resume among his UFC colleagues, Kennedy is also known for his military background, edgier sense of humor and out-of-the-ring video antics. He is a favorite among fans who appreciate Tim’s personable and direct nature.

“I couldn’t be more excited about having opportunity to fight, and beat, Michael Bisping,” said Kennedy. “Representing a company like Vertx® in such a marquee main event matchup is truly a dream come true.”

Catch Kennedy vs. Bisping live on Fox Sports 1 and Fight Pass on April 16th.
