Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on October 08, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Cody Lundin! Another year older and still thriving barefoot in the wild—proving once again that shoes are overrated. Your fearless adventures teaching survival skills at Arizona's Aboriginal Living Skills School continue to inspire us all. Whether you're effortlessly starting fires with sticks or calmly munching on bugs for breakfast, your dedication to wilderness wisdom never ceases to amaze.

Here's wishing you another fantastic trip around the sun filled with epic outdoor escapades and plenty of humorous mishaps (because let's face it, those make the best stories). May your feet stay tough, your shelters sturdy—and may civilization always remain optional!
