Survivorman Les Stroud Breaks Down More Jungle Survival Scenes from Movies | GQ - Розваги
Stroud : Now is it realistic to come across a dinosaur in the middle of the jungle ?
Me : Of course not.
Stroud : Absolutely.
Me : Absolutely.
Absolutely.
V Vey I mean, sure. They're called 'birds'! 😎
@@fanghur or pretty much any reptile.
@@sethhowerton1489 No. Birds literally ARE dinosaurs. But no other extant reptiles are. Though crocodiles are just as ancient.
@@fanghur oh I wasn't disagreeing with you, was just adding to the conversation.
Bear Grylls checks under his bed for Les Stroud.
@@grayman735 SAS maybe, but production crews and hotel service definitely.
I have a mate who worked with bear and he was the one who did most of the actual survival stuff. Bear knows how too, just doesn't actually do it!
@@bassmunk he taught survival in the sas, the man knows his stuff just why sleep in a bush when you can sleep in a hotel and earn the same money lol
Bear Grylls and Les Stroud do similar, but otherwise completely different shows.
Bear will bring a water truck into a dry bit of desert just to create a quicksand hole. He will say to the camera that he and the crew have constructed it with the purpose of showing you how to escape one, and he'll go on to say how rare such things are.
He'd still keep himself and you alive in almost any survival situation. At the end of the day both shows are fiction, pure entertainment with the bonus of some outdoor life hacks thrown in.
Neither show could seriously prepare a beginner for a survival situation
This is the best comment In the history of UA-cam. You sir, are a genius!
Les Stroud has become like the king of GQ because people just love how much knowledge he has. I wish he was doing Survivorman again
His UA-cam channel has some director commentaries where Les commentates over Survivorman episodes. Check it out if ye haven’t yet.
He is doing them again, he has a Survivorman channel on youtube :)
Starving man
I wish he was too. But the reality is caring around all that camera gear all by himself took a big toll on him. He admits that’s why he had to quit. It was just too much. But he did shoot 72 episodes. He gave everyone the ultimate experience of surviving alone. Not shooting some scenes and sleeping in a hotel room like someone else we know
K
Next - Les Stroud breaks down Bear Grylls survival scenes.
Ahahha
He’s done some of that I think
I think that every dig he takes at other "survivalists" is directed at BG. Pretty sure that they aren't on friendly terms. Lol.
Omg yes! Lol
That would be awesome!
Now you've got the right idea. MORE LES STROUD.
More or Les Stroud.
Les More Stroud
unknown more or les - pop and chips ua-cam.com/video/i8zIr_Dn4EA/v-deo.html
Yes!!!
MORE LES STROUD, the forest gallante wildlife biologist ones are great too.
can we just have an hour of him talking and telling stories? Story Time with Survivorman
You absolutely can, look at his channel, he's been uploading a lot.
@GamebroTV 100%.
@GamebroTV What!! I did not know this, thank you!
Go to his UA-cam page dude
an hour aint enough bro
As a kid I honestly thought quicksand would be a daily problem for me, piranhas too
Piranhas in quick sand
I heard a comedian say this (forget who) and absolutely remembered being terrified of quick sand as a child.
I thought it was "made up" by Hollywood/comics as an adult.
Now I'm being told, by a survival expert, ways to get out if you're ever caught in the stuff.
🥴🙃😡😁🤦♂️
quicksand can't swallow you whole. you whould get to around your waist then stop sinking. and piranhas are not likely to attack humans so they should not be that big of a problem ither. they only realy attack dead humans or humans that are dying. a healthy human should not be in that great of a risk when encountering piranahs
Thatd be good ol John Mulaney🤵
I never knew quick sand was real till a couple days ago when I caught in some down by the river
Daniel Radcliff in quicksand.
Hermione Granger: "You have to relax!" 🤣
No vingardium leviosa for the poor lad...
Me sleeping 5 hours in 2 days
"I'm a bit of survivalist myself. "
Hahahaha
I really appreciate that Les Stroud knows what he's talking about in terms of the survival, but ALSO in terms of the moviemaking. Very unique perspective and it's fun to see him point out the movie magic accurately in contrast to reality.
Les could have gotten into anything and people would show up to watch him talk about it. Les you're a great man.
What about Bigfoot
@@samurai7dkong He did a whole series on bigfoot and it was really entertaining
@@Shofman yea I know, that's why I made the comment about Bigfoot
All I hear now is his voice saying:
When you are on UA-cam, and see a video of Les Stroud... That's where you gotta be really really careful. Because those are addictive.
😂
Exactly!
they could make thousands of videos with this man and i´d watch every single one of them
yes him and the other robot guy with a white beard i like em both
That's a lot of videos.
Do picture in picture, he even left a giant empty space for you to put the clips. The constant back and forth is giving me whiplash.
Wish this got more votes
That would not be good for those of us watching on small screens.
It’s cause he’s a professional and they’re UA-cam lmao
He talks for too long for them to do that. Don't get me wrong, I love his commentary and stories, but they'd have to have a still image in a split screen bc he talks for much longer than the clips.
how is this even an issue for anyone? didn’t even notice it
As a Canadian I just wanna say that Les Stroud is a national treasure and he must be protected at all costs
Big shout out to Les.
He has moulded me in to a natural survivor, a master of improvisation, and a tamer of the wilds.
Just yesterday I lost my lighter, and was able to use my toaster to get that fire going to get my smoke lit.
Iain Fraser 😂
Wtf
Haha amen
Wow. You're an inspiration to us all.
i didn't have chocolate today, surviving...😢but it was hard, think i'm ready for the jungle 😏
I need Les Stroud to just follow me around and give me life advice. "Use the Excel function there on that spreadsheet to maximize survival with your boss." "Don't hit on that person, there's like a 20% chance you might die." etc.
🤣
Les stroud Siri voice anyone?
I take it back, Les stroud AI voice
I didn't even know I needed this in my daily life. 😐
I could listen to this guy forever. He's got so much knowledge and insight, not just about factual things but also the mental aspects of what's happening.
That's survival.
WHY IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC SO BLOODY LOUD?! Les is already interesting, you don't have to try to make it more intense with bad LOUD music.
That's Hollywood.
it's like Les said before, everything going on is dramatic enough why add more? same goes with this. his share of knowledge and stories is more than enough the music is unnecessary.
Les could have gotten into anything and people would show up to watch him talk about it. Les you're a great man.
Agree! No music!
Me want listen only to know-man!
(i'm tired of trying to write correct English! Just had to)
B.t.w, Les Stroud has a UA-cam channel, you can see Survivorman episodes and his director commentary on some episodes.
Yup! And it's absolutely glorious!
Soo good!!
Just subbed!!!
god this takes me back to sick days off school watching survivorman all day...those were the days
Amen
Amen
Amen
If you don't know yet, Les put all of his Survivorman content on UA-cam. He even does Directors Commentaries where he sits and watches the episode with you and gives behind the scenes info, and thoughts going on in his head during the survival. Its really cool
Les Stroud is Phil Collin's younger, more woodsy brother....
Yes
I think he looks like Sting.
A movie with light rain: "The Warriors", because it was actually raining while they were filming.
When? I remember it being wet but when did it ever rain in that movie. (I remember a bit when there is a fire on the tracks maybe?)
@@AlexG1020 He just explained that you can't film light rain. It would still look wet though.
Apocalypse Now had a typhoon.
I love how nice he is to the movies and the movie makers. He pretty much always gives them the benefit of the doubt, and acknowledges certain things are there for the movie, and doesn’t think they’re dumb because of it. It’s good that he’s a filmmaker too.
The best is back.
Les Stroud is hands down one of the best Survival Teachers you could hope for.
Not because he is all knowing, but because he is eager to help you learn. That’s a sign of a truly wise person.
Had to laugh when Les said Joan's suitcase full of dresses and high heels was a survival pack. 😂Obviously he hasn't seen the movie which is a shame because it's a fun movie. I love it. 😎👍
As a kid once when camping my friend and I almost died in a bunch of mud like this. We thought it was kind of cool we were sinking. Until we were chest deep. Lucky for us I was noticing how movement changed progression. I told her to lay on back as relaxed and slowly as she could and kind of help herself float to the top. And to use the sticks around us to help stabilize ourselves. I was thinking if we used sticks to make almost like a raft no matter how tiny the sticks, when put together made a little platform so to speak to push ourselves on. We were able to get out of that area but slow movements and laying on our backs with longer sticks under us. It felt pretty amazing to get out of something so dangerous with no knowledge or training. Just sensing what to do.
Les didn't stop talking between these uploads. It's all been live
“Embarrassed by how many times I’ve talked to a tree or a rock” story of my quarantine
Edit: love of flip flops, whatever anyone tells you, quarantine helps other humans stay alive
it's not house arrest *glares at "someone" in the comments* don't be that guy
sooooooo relatable now go commit forever sleep
Lol. Me too.
First time?
Are you quarantined in a forest?
I’ve been talking to myself more. Usually it was in my head. Now it’s bleeding out into my day to day out loud. Full conversations. Starting to plan my day, talking to myself as, “our” or “we”.
The critters in the overhanging trees reminds me of what my dad told me: he was a Viet vet and was stationed in Saigon, didn’t really see much of the jungle, but was part of the urban conflict BUT he always said that the first rule of mustering up in the morning was to take your boots, turn ‘em upside down and give them a few good whacks on the sole to shake out snakes, mice, rats, tarantulas and scorpions. Even if you made sure that they were upright before you went to sleep, their COs would yell at them for not performing that little ritual in the morning.
I can never get enough of LS. I still talk about Survivorman to this day, regularly.
Keep having Les on. He is amazing to listen to and time flies
Now for Les to release the other seasons of Survivorman on his UA-cam channel. We need it! :)
"Thinner than my pinky finger...."
*As Les shows us his pinky finger the thickness of a roll of nickels!*
"Going without sleep is torture"
Me, after sleeping for 10 hours: SEE! HE GETS IT!!!
We need more breakdowns with this man!
I could listen to this guy talk for hours. Just let him tell his stories, and explain survival situations for a couple hours. I'd be all for it. He kept my attention back when he did Survivorman, and he hasn't lost his touch in that respect lol.
The background "music" was hard to drown out. Les is great as always though
Les is such a legend. I would love to meet him some day.
Having been in quicksand once, there is something I'd add. The local insects dont really sink, you may become a captive meal. It is one of the most exhaustive things I've ever done.
Ants, I presume?
Les: *talks about the cinematography of a scene*
Editor: *puts the clip of the scene in a dark basement with the sign reading "beware of the tiger"*
But in romancing the stone he doesn't throw a survival pack. He throws her suitcase full of clothes 😂
I was thinking the same 😂
It's actually a suitcase full of shoes
@@jamespapke1954 none of which are practical shoes, she said so herself that they were all heels 😂
I love this guy’s delivery. He has a wealth of knowledge and he’s a really engaging speaker.
I could watch him do this all day everyday
I talk to in-animate object on a regular basis, doesn't make you crazy as long as you don't expect an actual response.
I think the crazy part is when you hear an actual response
based on past conversations, i can imagine responses, i've pre argued a situation out, many times
Les films himself professionally, like as his job, and this video looks like he's using the very first nanny cam.
It like he's trolling GQ, I love it
He left space for them to put the clip..
@@susanappleby2414 I meant the video quality
It looks like he's using the stock laptop webcam.
I hope we get more of this. Once I started watching these videos with him , I didn't want to stop.
He's like a modern person with prehistoric human skills!
One of the biggest problems with finding fruit in the jungle is that the monkeys and apes get to it long before it falls to the ground. One of the good things is that if you're there when the trees are fullest, they often drop it after eating only half of it.
the cinematography in Apocalypse Now is still one of the best and most beautiful ever done on film. those scenes and colours are so eerie and magical an dhave such fantastic atmosphere
When quarantine started i watched every survivorman episode i could find so happy he's getting spotlight over here amazing educator and entertainer
For anyone curious for an example of his leadership point, look at The Thing. Mac takes leadership even though he wouldn’t be the leader normally.
Man, watching this man explain all this stuff is really entertaining..
Love your vids Les! Still watch old survivorman episodes to this day! Thx for all the entertainment and knowledge brotha best wishes to you and everyone out in our crazy world today!
Les Stroud is a total icon. My husband & I used to watch his show Survivor Man every week. I learned a lot about safety & preparedness when going anywhere outside the city. I could watch these videos all day.
Thanks GQ
Love this Legend
Keep the series going
"Wanna have great dream ? Don't eat ."
Me who hasn't eaten properly in the last 3 days and had an extremely horrifying strange dream last night: ......WHAT
I never dream havnt remembered a dream in well over a year. Went 6 days without eating anything, still didn't dream.
I love this guy so much, I know he has such a big following of people who watched his shows when they were younger.
I love these, anything involving a passionate person talking about their passion.
The man the myth the legend: Les Stroud
I like how he mentioned Lord of flies that book is probably the most imagery I have got out of a book. Really made me think. Movie is okay.
We love Les! Thanks for bringing him on
I can't get enough of Les Stroud. I want him to break down every movie.
I can't help but think he was referring to Bear Grylls when he was talking about unnecessarily eating bugs alive
Even if this channel becomes only Les Stroud, I would still want more
He’s blowing up on UA-cam! Keep it up! Always love to learn more.
Love this content. Thanks GQ and thank you Les. You’re a legend dude.
Strouds book "The Will to Live" was one of the best books ive ever read! I highly recommend it for anyone who loves survivalstorys and psychology!
I demand more Les. All the Les.
I LOVE this please keep it coming Les anything you talk about i try and absorb. I watch you every lunch break! You are the man! Also.. survivorman and son is soo good!
These are absolutely GREAT! Les has been a hero of mine since 2009.
stopped everything i was doing to watch this
Reminds me of my mothers bush!
Early on in the movie The Old Guard, there's a scene set in Morocco where it is sprinkling lightly. (Just to point out there *is* a movie where it isn't just raining buckets since Les said to point them out).
I wish there was more of these, I could watch les stroud break down every movie
I love these. Especially with les stroud. Big fan of survivor man.
Les is the Man!
I’m a simple man, I see Les Stroud and I click the video
Him and the air force pilot are two of the best 👌🏻. Could listen to them for a couple our hours.
Thanks to this man and to the ways of life, that I just found out this channel. And remembered this superperson's name. Les Stroud, you were my hero as Survivor Man, and you still are because of your witty commentaries. ♥
Me: Can life be any worse for anyone human?
Les: Yes, absolutely!
2020: reads itinerary
2020:ROFL 😂LOL HOO HOOO HA HA HA HA HA💀
Being awake for long time can cause the hallucinations as well. It was something we were very aware of and we would talk about sleep deprivation before some of the bigger battles my unit was in during the Iraq war. The ability to compute small equations 4+4 etc is degraded after just 24 hrs. and gets worse in just a short amount of time. Sleep deprivation as an Infantryman is a way of life its what we train for and are well aware of its effects.
Bro your a badass💯💪🏾
Sleep deprivation is the worst. I had one very bad week where I got very little sleep, maybe a couple hours a night and none at two nights. and at some point I was barely functional and it felt like reality was slipping.
After that I understood why it is used as torture. Feeling your mind slip is terrifying.
At one point I thought I was talking to someone while I really wasn't. like dreaming awake and slowly becoming aware of it.
Had a friend who got very little sleep for 2 weeks and started pulling her own hair out.
I’m sorry but your ability to do simple addition is hindered after 24 hours of not sleeping? Huh? Anyway, great, I’ll officially brand myself as ‘tougher than the troops’ thanks
He is such a great teacher and story teller.
I need more Les Stroud! I love this man!
Gq should make a show where Les Stroud can break down survival stuff, i could watch a 100 epesodes of this stuff, its way to interestng
The background music on this vid was awful
THANK you!
Agreed. It was distracting.
Extremely distracting
smh, didn’t notice it until I read this comment
@@thatonewelshguy6959 same
I've missed seeing this man on the screen. I want more.
Please do more of these with Mr. Stroud!!
LES!!! The ONLY Survivorman!
The only time I have seen "light rain" is when it is actually raining in real life and you can see droplets on the actors clothes
Always watched survivorman with my grandpa when I was younger always interested in anything Les Stroud does
My favorite survivor man. We need you back.
On the movie-rains: A light drizzle might be hard to show on film, but it's also not really worth the effort of figuring out how to do it. It's alway pouring because a pour is dramatic and defines the mood. A light drizzle wouldn't really do much in that respect.
It would define the mood of the English quite well I imagine.
He said that
OG man here. The Rock has 0 macho on this guy. This is a real badass.
don't really understand the need for this comparison, they're two very different people doing different things.
I could listen to this man talk all day
I’m fascinated by the beautiful “matte finish” he describes in a jungle environment! Everything must seem so shiny when he returns to a city after one of those trips
"People eat live bugs for sensationalism cause ew its gross not because its teaching you something"
Wonder who he's talking about... 🤔😅
*cough*looking*cough*at*cough*you*cough*Bear*cough* Sorry, had something hung up there for a moment.
Bear Grylls wasn't eating bugs just for the gross factor. Even he pointed out that some bugs can be poisonous and there are ways to recognize them.
@ We are talking about live bugs. Not bugs in general.
I'm not surprised Les Stroud was able to find some Shade to give us 😏
Yeah Bear eats the bugs alive rather than dead for the show but he is still right in eating them because they give you energy dead or alive
Hm interesting, I didn't notice the rain scene on movies, it is really rare to see mild rain
Gotta love ANYTHING/ EVERYTHING Les Stroud!!!
need more of this in my life ASAP
