For those New to survivor man, the best part of this clip was the camera malfunction, taking us back to countless episodes of survivor man. Les how I miss your show. It always felt real because it was real.

"This is REALLY long everyone - sorry about that"
Les, we WANT longer stuff!
We want more episodes.
We actually LIKE listening to you talk and like learning stuff from you.
Why are you apologizing?

[jasonborseth]

As a retired Army Ranger, I so appreciate that you called em play kits You couldn't be more right!

[bobsingh]

Appreciating Led Stroud more and more. He keeps pace. He exhibits a continuing decency and humility as a teacher. He keeps it real.
The more I camp the more his knowledge retains relevancy.
One of the great Canadians. Him and Gord Downie.

I had a copy your book Survive while I was homeless in Mesa Arizona 6 years ago. I used to read it every day and it gave me so much comfort and knowledge back in those days as much as it does now. (No longer homeless) Thanks Les, you're awesome 🤘

Gollum: "What has it got in it's pocketses?"
Les: "paracord, space blanket, matches, .... "
No ring though

"Dunno who this character is..." slices the Bear's head in half LOL

I bought the Survive book with your self narrated Audible audiobook 4 years ago. I also got the British SAS and Army self defense pocketbooks as well. Great references that I keep going back to for part of my shelter in place plans. Thank you Les.

I have Backpacked extensively for more than 30 years, through Wilderness, Rural, and even Urban environments. The main things I learned that have carried over to every other area of my life are:
Knowledge weighs nothing,
most skills are transferable,
weight on your body needs to be ruthlessly trimmed to as little as possible,
carry items that have multiple uses,
items that you are going to bet your life on should be the best you can afford,
and that no matter the "Sport" or venture, there will be a company that will try to sell you kit that you could make yourself.

Hey Les. one more tip I was introduced to from a friend I thought was smart. regarding first aid kit. 1. ask your doctor to prescribe Motrin 600 or 800 as a painkiller. usually they are cool about this. instead of carrying the whole bottle. get a straw . cut it in 3rds and pinch and seal one end. drop the motrin or Ibuprofen into the straw and then seal it shut with your multi tool pinching one end and using a lighter to seal the same end. you have a small addition and space saving item for your first aid kit. this also works great for ointments and other meds. i thought it was a great idea.

Les you dont need to apologize for a long video. we eat that stuff up

[mrgallbladder]

When the camera fell, he meant to edit it out, but at some point changed his mind and left it in. Cool move.

[Timschannel]

LES!
Can you do 48 hrs with your survival kit in the back country for the next video?
I'm mean, I know you can, we would like to see you do it.
Thanks for the great content. Love it

Glad to see the survey flagging in the large kit. As a former surveyor that stuff is amazing. We used it in place of tape, string, and of course flagging a trail. Doubled up it makes a very strong tough piece of cordage. Have made belts for my pants, tied around my boots when the laces we’re giving out, lost track off all the things we tied together with it. Use it to build a shelter and you have built in signalling. One of the most useful things you can have in the woods.

Those instructions in each kit, I was thinking tinder the whole time.

Ti BOT with a separate bail. Contractor bag (5 mil). Space blanket (layered, non-rip). 550 paracord 25’. Gorilla Tape. Fatwood. Cotton bandana. Quart Ziplock freezer bag. Photon flashlight. ALOX Swiss Army Knife (Farmer). 6” striker. Sylva Ranger 2.0 Compass. It all fits in the BOT.
On my belt: Fixed Knife (Benchmade Pukko with striker), Folding Knife (XcEST-Delta), Headlamp, TRD (paracord), PFAK (first aid), Ti Canteen/stove/cup/spork (Keith).
Pockets: Azimuthal Pocket Transit (Brunton). Silky PocketBoy. Bic lighter. Gorilla tape on a plastic card (like a credit card) Cargo Pockets: Contractor bag, Sol emergency bivy in a ziplock bag, map of the area. I wear a shemagh.
I have a “Survival kit, ” and a duplicate of what’s in it on me. Sometimes I include a “Hobo” fishing kit on the belt. The gear I have on me (belt, pockets, wear) is around the $1250 price point. I doubt anyplace would make that as a kit and sell it.
I despise the “pockets full of junk” approach that most premade “survival kits” use (look what they do for $20 that I did for $1250). The wire they give you is enough to make A (one) snare with. You’d want a dozen if that’s what you were trying to use as a source of food. And if you are doing that, how many people know how to process small game for meat? Birthday candles for fire/light? A pocket knife made of pot metal? Space blankets that shred? A fishing kit with hooks for gold fish? A plastic button that claims to point North? Paperclips? A comb? I’ve seen some stupid crap in premade “survival kits” My favorite is people that think they will boil water in an Altoids tin.

Your kit is very close to the survival kit we were taught to make in N.H's hunter/ safety course. So cool. That was back in the 70's

[robertweldon]

There are only few that are the real deal. Here is the man who I believe is the NUMBER ONE REAL DEAL. I have watched every "Survivor Man" episode many tines, and every time I learned some tiny thing, I had missed before.
I believe that everyone should create their own kit. I have stuff in a small 4 x 5 x 2 gift tin, some of which Les would frown on, but it WORKS FOR ME.
While watching I remembered that I had left a bandanna out of my "have-r-sack" kit, That is now fixed. See, watch and learn, never assume you have everything covered. Thanks Les. ;-)

One thing I would add: permanent marker. Write a name, date, and bearing on flagging tape, write reminders on your arm, some (not all) have flammable ink.

The only REAL survival show on television! Gotta make a comeback Sir Les you've helped many. Take it from a backcountry guide in the Rockies, ive come across so many in distress every year and I swear, besides my experience and training of more than two decades, you have popped in my brain on occasion to save the day.
