Survivorman is Back

Survivorman Les StroudSurvival expert Les Stroud is back on the Discovery Channel with his hit survival show, SurvivorMan.

The original series, which ran from 2005-2008 on the Discovery Channel, followed Les Stroud as he made his way through a number of different Wilderness survival situations. What made the show unique, and why it’s one of the only survival shows I care to watch, was the fact that Les filmed everything himself.

He never used camera crews, instead he chose to survive by himself; even if that meant lugging around 65 pounds of camera gear and surviving with little to no food or gear. In fact, he stopped filming the original show back in 2008 because of the physical toll that it was taking on his body.

SURVIVORMAN 10 DAYS

This time around, he will head out for ten full days of wilderness survival with absolutely no safety or camera crew. The new season of Survivorman will follow Les as he survives in harsh wilderness locations like the wet and cold Norwegian mountains and the searing hot uninhabited Mexican island of Tiburon.

  1. I’d Like to see Bear Grylls back too. I just like to see the differant techniques used. Also anyone here see that new show “One Car Too Far” looks awesome!

  2. i saw the new show “one care too far” it was pretty cool. interesting to see the techniques used for survival and escape using a car.

  3. Glad to c Les back! Too bad about Bear I really enjoy learning from the one Who Have Been There Done That!Since that particular “network” can’t help firing good survivalists like [Bear G.,and Dave C.]Les is truly 1 of the best hope they don’t fire him too!

    • Les is great. Bear not so much. Yes he is fearless and tough but if your average joe acted like him in a real survival situation he wouldn’t last more than a few hours. Imho. Reckless risk taking is a great way to empty your gene pool.

  4. I’m so happy Les is back!! The only TRUE survival show. He’s by himself, films himself. As opposed to Bear having a crew w him to hand him powerbars every 15 minutes

  5. Here’s a question everyone seems to avoid. Les originally quit the show because of the physical toll it was taking on his body. What made him returned knowing the physical impacts will be the same if not worse?

  6. Les buddy sorry love the show but you have to stop saying OH OH its so good
    after everytime you eat something and make a face like you just ran a hand
    batch. Just saying i can believe your hungry but come on bud.

  7. OK,this is the last time im gonna say this.Bear,you are a good showman,thats all. Your SAS hiorsty is a bit out to fucking lunch, I’ve watched your shows to see what you’ve got in the way of survival and all I’ve seen was bullshit. Yes, I understand it is a show and that things have to be speeded up, so you get your crew to help you along the way. so far all I see is someone who is full of energy and you actually waste alot of it finding all these berries to make water taste better and to get rid of impurities. Hell man,i’m in the army and I had to go without water for a long time without any goddamn energy and I wasn’t looking for these magic berries you take because I had no energy to waste. I had to use it to drag my fucking carcass over the next ridge or R.V. You were in the TA or militia,part time hobbyist,having a fun time till your mom came and picked you up after the weekend was done. I will watch your show for the occasional hoot and guffaw, but I know it is full of shite,thanks for the laffs Bear ..now on to Les. Well yeah,you bitch alot,I mean you bitch more then I do in the field, but that has to be expected when your cold ,wet and tired. But like all soldiers, if your not complaining,thats when something is really wrong. I think your version shows no bullshit, I was looking all the time to see if your camera moved by itself and I havent seen it. Meaning you got a crafty cameraman or your really out there by yourself. Myself and another army buddy argue all the time about you two and I think I have finally proved that you were the best. You actually do survival shit, its not easy and that the way Bear makes it look. That time you were down in the jungle and you had to pull back was the best one you did. It just proves sometimes you can’t beat it, you have to know your limitations. Bear just doesn’t see his, because he hasn’t really done it. Great shows Les, please keep it up.

  8. I do enjoy the show very much. I just wish it were possible for Les to eat without chomping, smacking, and making perpetual yummy sounds.

  9. I think this guy with the big foot story is full of it finding a broke tree lim and saying that big foot did it how do we know he didn’t do it to boost ratings also all the technology out there and Seattle lights that can look right down on earth and they can seen a so called big foot walking there’s some b.s. going on
