I love how much education he delivers in this series. About survival, obviously, but also about animal and plant life and indigenous people who lived in the areas he's surviving in.

I remember watching this as a kid eating junk food watching him eat bugs thinking to myself "I can totally survive" with a mouth full of cookies 🤣🤣🤣 I know better now

21:46 he apologizes to the cactus after he gets poked. How Canadian!

[joshuag.]

The earliest episodes were my favorites.

That was an Excellent Steve Irwin Impression

“I can’t believe I just did that!” Oh Les...you were so young....you hadn’t consumed the horrors I’ve seen you eat yet...

[greplink]

That desert has been my home for my entire life. Love it more and more everyday.

You're a living legend Less. I used to watch these with my old man. Brings me back to the good old days. Thanks for uploading these im sure everyone appreciates it as much as i do! :)

"Leave only footprints." We need more people like Les!

[elchavoguero]

I recently moved to New Mexico, in the Chihuahuan Desert. I remembered you had an episode in the Sonoran Desert and I'm so glad I found your channel. You're an amazing person and a real mensh for uploading all of this content

[DaVeganZombie]

I love that you uploaded these for people to watch during the pandemic.
Seriously! It’s so good.
I live out in Arizona, actually— I remember when you first released this years ago, me and my brother must have watched this a dozen times to prepare for a camping trip we never took.

... maybe it’s time to take that trip.
I look forward to your podcast !

[TheSlipperyBrick]

Awesome! Thanks for uploading these full episodes. Something to distract me and keep me entertained during these tough times. Thanks so much Les!

I met Les at a gas station when I was driving through Canada. I didn’t know who he was, but the gas station attendant said it was “Survivorman”. I thought maybe just some dude who lived off the land in that town. We had a funny conversation about Bear Grylls (whom was big at the time). Totally cool dude and down to earth. Now 13 years later, I’m watching his show to learn how to survive in my own state lol!

[tonyfourpaws]

watched all of his shows. watched this one the night before i packed a backpack and started my walk from Florida to California in 2011.

Today my life changed! I found out that Les Stroud, the man! Had a youtube channel and had uploaded his content there as well! I really enjoyed watching Les on TV with my dad and brother, and now I get to share him and this really cool show that both teaches and demonstrates amazing skills and the natural beauty of the world around us! Thank you Les!

[t.t.wadsup]

I love this show-thank you les!! I've watch your shows since day1 on discovery channel -now I can enjoy them here😚

[dankim]

Les let me just say you are the true man when it comes to survival shows. You really focus on realistic survival situations and priorities instead of pulling off wild and dangerous stunts to wow the camera. Hell you even film it all by yourself completely isolated to authenticity in the wild. I fell in love with these episodes since high school. Always a blast to watch. Its always so exciting when you find food and water and build elaborate shelters.

Watching these videos over the pandemic 😷 we face right now.

It brings back memories of me and my dad sitting in the living room on weeknights and weekends, TV set to science channel or the discovery channel on cable and watching this I actually was trying to take notes in my small notebooks that I wasn’t using in school.

My dad and I enjoyed these videos, I hated how he keep saying next camping trip he making me eat a bug like Lee did.

I freaked out going, ” no gross! You can eat the bugs I looking for plants and fruits from trees that won’t kill me that I can eat.”
We would just end up laughing in the end.

Wow, I can’t even believe I been watching these kind of videos for 20-21 years of my life.
I still have wonderful memories of these videos from my childhood. But now I watching them on my own, my dad and I have not gotten along for a while and well bitter sweet memories right now.

Yet I am Thankful these video were aired on tv and saved here on this YouTube channel.
Now I am never without my survivor man videos and my memories.

Take care everyone and stay safe out there.
