If you're not familiar....



Matt is the Stone Age "shaman" of this duo and has more than two decades of experience living off the land. Matt went for a walk one day and ended up spending six months on his own in the wild. He lives in a remote area of southern Utah where he primarily sleeps in primitive structures.

Matt started down this path at age 15, when he first became a triathlete and rock climber. At age 23, Matt proved his amazing athletic endurance as a runner when he ran the Pacific Crest Trail - 1,700 miles crossing the length of the California crest - in 58 days.

Matt has been teaching primitive skills for the past 20 years, including at the Boulder (Utah) Outdoor Survival School and guiding llama packing trips while continuing to compete as an endurance athlete. He then became an outdoor instructor for an at-risk youth therapy project known as the "Anasazi Outdoor Program." In addition to these programs Matt also did training courses for the Young Marines and Canadian Cadets.

Matt is a world class master of the atlatl and started competing three years ago against world champions. He's also skilled at hunting with the long bow and in the primitive art of brain-tanning hides to make clothing. He's studied Judo, Tae Kwan Do, Wushu Kung fu, and Jeet Kune Do.

now this is a thread that has my interest . i was kinda bummed when he replaced cody lundin but he has turned out to be much better.if only they could replace joe teti now. matt always seems so chill like he could just whip up a lean to and set up shop for a couple weeks and come out of the bush when he is ready.joe is a butthole and he wants to get out asap and he never looks like he is having any fun.

I love me some Matt Graham.
Watch his "dude your screwed" episodes. good stuff.

He is one of my only man crushes on this planet.

He and Cody lundin are the real deal. I took a 10 day survival class from cody before he got famous. He was amazing.

Been thinking of taking a class from matt, but I don't know if he even teaches them anymore since he got so famous.

Used his method to hand catch a trout from a river bank though. Just two weeks ago in a creek near waltervill Oregon.

Teti is a Joke IMO

Matt has to dumb it down and play down to Joes skills.

That is why Joe starts all the fires lately with requested supplies that he can work with .

Matt and Cody are two of the most powerful Fire Gods on this planet. That is Big magic bro.

Agree, Joe is in awe of Matt every episode.

No shit?? Was it hard to pull off?
I spent 1 hour and I caught one. Failed on a about 5 of them.
They just sit in the dark under the bank mostly, thinking they are safe.
I walk the creek till they retreat to their "hole" then I try and creep on them and get a hand in front and in back.

I just let it go. I don't even have my license yet this year. I float the river about 30 times a year though.

The features on your site are very nice by the way.

That is crazy dude. Well, at least you know you could survive out there if you had to :)

Thanks for the compliment. No one can defend the features.

I think the fish thinks another fish is touching it. Now I need to learn fire in the backyard.
Matt says cottonwood root is the best for a fire drill bed. Plenty on the river. I will try to start fire and cook a fish this summer.(still rainy season here)
Like I said I have a mega man crush on Matt. My 15 year long girlfriend chuckles every time I mention him. I told her I would let him mate with her just for his DNA. She smiled

just watched this weeks dual survival...Graham is GREAT..Joe annoys me especially when he kills a animal and looks around like growling like he slayed a whole army as if he was Achilles...he's stubborn and ignorant to a fault...
