Survivorman is definitely one of the most interesting survival shows to watch and doesn’t get the recognition it truly deserves. From a survival perspective, it seems like one of the most realistic shows that you can get on television.
In the Grenada Jungle episode, Les pits his jungle survival skills against the incredibly diverse mountain jungle terrain of Grenada’s largest active mountain, Mt. St. Catherine.
Survivorman | Grenada Jungle | Les Stroud
Nestled along the invisible line where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of Venezuela, this island jungle feels mysterious, shrouded in mist, veiled from the sun by thick blankets of cloud. For this, the high-altitude jungle has earned the name “Cloud Forest”. Boasting its original ecosystem, the jungle is home to mona monkeys, tarantulas, scorpions, armadillo, iguana, parrots and possums –an abundance of food for Les if he can catch it. Les must use his years of jungle survival experience to avoid the many poisonous plants and trees indigenous to the jungle – all while carrying more than 50 pounds of camera gear on his back.
As someone who is very critical of the bullshit shows they try to pass of as reality survival, I appreciate Les’s dedication and authenticity.
