Yeah, when he displays his catch and then is describing what happened. He shows so much happiness and satisfaction he literally laughs with joy, real joy. He knows that not only will he survive he will have one of the best meals ever.
Well it wasn’t the first time, during season one there was a moment when he said it after eating arctic willow buds. Then in Africa he said after eating a pound of termites and dirt.
Martin Hwang that we can agree on, I’ve never missed an episode on the 3 seasons we see on UA-cam. I didn’t watch anymore because I thought they were done, wish I would have seen Em all
Les’ energy before and after the fish meal is insane! Dudes Lethargic as hell before but the second that fish is on he is so pumped and after he eats you can hear the difference in his voice!
As I recall from the commentary, this is the episode where the rescue crew was stuck in smokey greasy tents eating really bad tasting canned food while Les was gorging himself on Arctic Char.
Les is a genius at work. From him surviving solo, filming the entire thing at a professional level without a crew, and the ability to speak so eloquently and narrate his own show is remarkable. Not to mention, he also wrote and sang the opening theme song for the show. Great job with your career Les been watching you since a young kid 15 years ago.
bush tucker man and ray mears as well back to the 80's,not quite the same but equally as knowledgeable to be fair,all men you'd want by yer side,but les likes to rough it,shtf style lol
How can I survive with a gun a premade wooden shack and a canoe and free whale blubber and a fishing pole..... o wait that’s easy as shit no wonder people don’t watch this guy lol bear grills is better this dudes a hack
@@bailey_host that was for sure my favorite episode. My only criticism about his show is he never shows him gutting an animal. Some people really dont know how to do it, believe it or not
This guy always brings and conveniently finds necessities to makes his only 7 days alone easier like fishing poles , easy fire starting , dude if u have fresh water like he does in this episode 7 days without food is 100% not life threatening , staying fully hydrated and the most minor foods ur fine in 7 days . Fans of this guy need to just admit they love the show for many reasons but stop trying to say this dude is the legit a survivalist with the bare minimum lol he caught a fish with a fishing pole and started a fire with a battery “ with charge conveniently “ and wool , this ain’t rocket science or skill this is planning before filming , just admit the shows great cause he seems like a good dude and we like seeing people outside the cities roughing it , 99% of the time he ain’t out there with just his clothes asked to survive for 7 days .
These old episodes are the best, in my opinion. They first aired during a really lousy time in my life, and yet I have bittersweet memories of being alone and watching the first three seasons. The grain of the footage, the original moody music, the beautiful places... these things kept me company. There would be those nearly hopeless days when my greatest joy was finding that a few episodes were on, so I'd fall asleep watching them because of the vibe. It taught me a great lesson, watching these old episodes: Les was always alone himself, yet he always survived and we got our fade to black. I will always treasure this program, I still fall asleep accompanied by Mr. Stroud.
Watching Les almost starve is pretty hard. Hearing his voice explain how he almost didn't go fishing, and then trailing off into laughter.. dude was absolutley famished.
Weird to say, but this was the show that my family would come together on friday nights and watch. My stepdad had a whole bunch of tv recordings of survivorman episodes that he had been collecting, so that was what we watched. Still watching to this day, love the content.
You asked what everyone at home is doing well I broke my hip 4 days ago and now after surgery I am stuck in bed watching you on your adventures probably for like the fifth time! Lol the escape I need right now thank you
This is forever my favorite episode. I’m drawn back to it time and time again year after year. Thank you Les for the years of challenging missions and entertainment you’ve provided us. 🙏🏼
This is the best survival show by far. I remember when Bear followed up with his show, with him showing off with extreme stuff (the show sucks). Anyway, thank you Les.
Bear was a hot-dog, a show-off. One episode where he over nighted in a swamp, he did a back flip off a tree branch into the water instead of just jumping in normally. Les is type of guy I’d rather drink a beer with around a campfire.
You les fanboys forget to admit les brags about his filming himself 20 times an episode and conveniently always has equipment to make his survival not only easier but usually easy enough that I could be fine for a week myself, bear doesn’t brag about being the most realistic he just wants to show some things to do when lost in the wild , he’s not trying to say shit about being this or that , online has to try and make everything the best or most popular of a category it’s unnecessary, I like les’s show and I liked bear grylls show they are different , les doesn’t live only on the bare minimum he usually has a survival kit that makes his trip easier , acting like bear can’t survive with a kit alone is stupid I could survive alone for only 7 days with a kit to start fires and conveniently containers of some sort to store rain water like les always somehow finds 20 feet away from where he lays the cameras .
@@slamminsammy941 Yeah, I don't trust any man that literally eats shit. The things he's trying to show you are things that'll kill you in a real survival situation.
@@slamminsammy941 the odds are if your in a position to get lost in the bush, you have supplies. That adds to the realism. Why would anyone be in the middle of the Arctic with absolutely no supplies. It just don’t make any sense.
For the people upset about youtube ads. They have this youtube plus or whatever it's called. It's 9.99 a month. If you can swing it, it's so worth it. Makes youtube SO much better. I forgot to pay this past month, and went less than a day before I remembered how much is sucked cutting out to ads non stop. Love that les put these all up for free. I could binge his content for days straight.
I've been watching this series through. Seen in rapid progression it's like watching an old D&D ranger level up progressively. He spent most of the first season starving all week, barely finding water or sleeping, meanwhile trying to show us this or that, and now, 2 seasons later, he leaves the freaking arctic warm and happy and with a full belly, using skills we saw him learn all through the previous episodes, even season one. He only left early this time because the crew were scared, not Les. This has been a wonderful progression. Be proud Les. I know you've already saved many lives with this show, keep that up. I hope you don't end up saving mine, but I'm prepared as you want us to be.
Love you Les, I've grown up watching your show and reading your books. You've given me such a good appreciation for the Earth and everything that we take for granted
Amen to that! Over cooked ramen even the best meal I ever had after coming off a fast! I love that first meal, part of the reason I enjoy a good fast now and then
I know, it always annoys me when people say, "I'm not eating that" while watching a show like this. Uh, you're stupid if you think after a week without ANYTHING to eat that you'd be picky 😂
This is amazing.. I felt so good for him when he finally caught a fish!! I was jumping and throwing punches in the air and shouting and clapping and smiling a lot.. Les Stroud, you are a super person. Thank you for uploading these (and for making 'em in the first place) ♥
Favorite show, I learn everytime I watch an episode. You show it all, catching the fish, cleaning, cooking. Building a shelter. I love it. You are the real deal.
What a difference in his mood before he caught and ate the hot fish meal. Huge difference. Also, love hearing people complain about hours and hours of continuous rain. Here in Las Vegas, NV, we count our yearly rain in minutes for the entire year.
Was anyone else as excited as he was when he caught those fish? Lol 😂 incredible Also, the morning of day 5. The upwards shot with the words “made in Canada” behind him. Classic
This is litrally the only show I can watch on youtube all the way through and binge. Just awesome info and content. Love les and his way of speaking. Simple and to the point.
if you have a pot or a pan or something metal that holds boiling water, you can boil out enough seawater to salt your fish to keep it fresh longer. It will take a while to get the salt.
Hello Les. Been watching you for near about 20 years. And quite simply put, your survivorman series and your beyond survival series have changed the way I look and comprehend different cultures around the world and also how I look upon myself. And where I fit into everything. I don't know I just want to thank you you're one of my heroes
THANK YOU for uploading these to youtube! I've been waiting years for a good place to watch all of these old episodes that I grew up with as a young man, and I couldn't be happier to find it here. You're a hero to me, I've learned so much from your treks over the years, and you've made my own less-ambitious camping trips a lot more fun and safe. I look forward to teaching my children a lot of your ways some day! Once again, thank you for your work. You're an icon and an inspiration!
From crazy, starving lucid dreams to happy days are here again. He's been there before. It's great to see him score big, beats the hell out of frozen roots. *Couldn't help worrying about him and the polar bears, no doubt not as much as he was O.o Great stuff Mr. Les
I can be watching another channels video, but if I see less stroud survivorman pop up, I always have to watch it, although I've seen them all many times already. His show never gets old!
watching les fish and being all happy after he catches one is literally the best thing, it makes me genuinely happy
Yeah, when he displays his catch and then is describing what happened. He shows so much happiness and satisfaction he literally laughs with joy, real joy. He knows that not only will he survive he will have one of the best meals ever.
Same
Especially when you know what it's like to miss a meal because you couldn't get it
IKR i was grinning like a fool when i first saw this episode
I know what you mean. I keep coming back to watch this episode randomly since it aired just to see him catch the fish
I just love how weirdly comforting Les's work is.
Watching Survivorman is like hanging out with an old friend.
Right, it's my comfort show
I can only give a lame joke. Les is more.
Very much agree.
Agree I’ve seen some episodes 10-15 times
Quite literally he shares his life stories and info about plants animals history atop of teaching you of survival
I was so happy he caught those fish.
“I’m getting full.”
First and last time Les ever said that out loud in the series
Well it wasn’t the first time, during season one there was a moment when he said it after eating arctic willow buds. Then in Africa he said after eating a pound of termites and dirt.
The one time he said that in Africa it was really sarcastic lol
I’m pretty sure this was the only time he said this with satisfaction
Martin Hwang that we can agree on, I’ve never missed an episode on the 3 seasons we see on UA-cam. I didn’t watch anymore because I thought they were done, wish I would have seen Em all
I think he was pretty full at the end of Season 2 when he had his feast on the tropical island.
Somewhere out there, that sock is still burning.
Hahahahaha
😂
Every time he mentions narwall, I can’t help but think of Elf.
Les’ energy before and after the fish meal is insane! Dudes Lethargic as hell before but the second that fish is on he is so pumped and after he eats you can hear the difference in his voice!
All that rain. Thought we was in Seattle
It's true. A hot hearty meal will give you a serious moral boost.
That was a man who not only knew he was going to eat, but he was going to eat good.
As I recall from the commentary, this is the episode where the rescue crew was stuck in smokey greasy tents eating really bad tasting canned food while Les was gorging himself on Arctic Char.
he had to go without food for 4 days, i bet the crew wouldnt want to do this
Barry was pissed
Where can I watch the version with commentary?
there was also an episode where he fished fresh salmon and made some of the crew jealous
@@3312-q2e actually he fast a week before his trips. So 11 days.
love seeing Les catch a meal, sit by the fire and rest!

I appreciate that! I have similar feeling, pal
Exact same
Exactly the same sentiment, these and steve the MRE guy, used to watch these and helped me forget problems and go to sleep
exactly me now
With all that's happening in the world, I really miss the 00s now.
Catching those fish must have been such a rewarding adrenaline hit
My sister worked as a cook on Baffin Island and brought home some smoked Arctic Char. To this day it's one of my favorite things I've ever tasted.
I’m a freak about Les and Survivorman, I’ve seen every thing he’s ever done. This is by far my favorite episode and location.
Beautifully filmed and crafted.
"Whooo hoo hoooo! Hahahahahaah!"
Pure unadulterated joy when you catch those fish.
Watching Les almost starve is pretty hard. Hearing his voice explain how he almost didn't go fishing, and then trailing off into laughter.. dude was absolutley famished.
Man that fish looks sooo good to and cutting it native way makes me miss home
Weird to say, but this was the show that my family would come together on friday nights and watch. My stepdad had a whole bunch of tv recordings of survivorman episodes that he had been collecting, so that was what we watched. Still watching to this day, love the content.
It's not weird, it's a wholesome show with a lot of great lessons. 👍🏻
Easily one of my favorite episodes, the Arctic is so beautiful in an isolating way. There's something so visceral about the Great North.
This proves the saying, "it's the small things in life". Especially in survival mode- c'est la vie 🙃.
it always brings a smile to my face watching you light up after catching those fish.
You asked what everyone at home is doing well I broke my hip 4 days ago and now after surgery I am stuck in bed watching you on your adventures probably for like the fifth time! Lol the escape I need right now thank you
One of my favorite things to do is watch Les freeze and starve while I'm bundled up in bed with a snack.
lmao same, when I was a kid survivorman was my favourite show to watch while eating a nice meal 😂
Hahahaha lol I used act like I was my own narrator getting food from the kitchen like I was les
🤣
Same.
This made me laugh so hard. And I think most of us watching are guilty of that hahaha
Gotta love his relieved giggling after he caught the second char
Crystal.
So happy this is available. Literally the one thing that kept me coming back to the discovery channel back when I actually watched cable television.
same here
I’m soooo used to you losing when it comes to hunting and fishing so I was nearly as excited as you were 😂
I freaking love this episode. I think its the fish he catches, displays and eats.
This is forever my favorite episode. I’m drawn back to it time and time again year after year. Thank you Les for the years of challenging missions and entertainment you’ve provided us. 🙏🏼
Les is one of very few people I believe when they say the wind is cold.
Him catching the fish and eating them is my favorite segment of any Survivorman episode ever!!!
There's nothing better in life than seeing and hearing someone elses genuine happiness; that first fish illustrates that, and it's infectious.
I like Les so much! As real as survival gets! Dude STARVES for a damn week or more. A Hero.
Les should do an episode of being lost in space. He’s been everywhere in the planet so that’s all that’s left 😂
Building a fire and catching fish in the vacuum of space, I would like to see that one. 🙂
That would be awesome. Did he ever do Antarctica though?
Growing potatoes on Mars, running out of ketchup. I would watch that.
My son and I watched this together when it first came out....we thought it was his best episode....
Everytime I watch this episode and see Les eating those Arctic Char, it always makes me hungry.
Now you made me hungry, time to cook up some fish
I heard char was very delicious.I never had the opportunity to try it.Wish I did.
Nothing feels better than feeling the warmth of a fire after being in the cold all day
If those fish watched survivorman maybe they could have survived survivorman , knowledge is power
Those fish need to buy Les's DVD's and get on his level.
The fish watches to much man vs wild.
Is laughing and just pure joy on his face when he catches food after being hungry and not having luck, it's just pure and I love it!
This is the best survival show by far. I remember when Bear followed up with his show, with him showing off with extreme stuff (the show sucks). Anyway, thank you Les.

The instant mood change after catching a fish.
Theres no better feeling than catching your first fish

Amazing that he had a battery and then found steel wool.....It`s cool I still love his shows
Thank you for teaching me so many survival skills. I hope I never have the NEED to use them!
my favorite episode, catching those fish was a site to see..
You can tell he got a huge energy boost after eating the fish lol
I love his attitude towards obstacles. He always knows how far to go...and not go. Cool!
Bringing back my childhood ☺️
Everyday after school I will do my homework right away and sit down and watch survivor man with my brothers, so many great memories watching Les.

When Les catches a meal, it’s the highlight of that episode. When he goes hungry I feel awful.
Just wanted to jump in with others to say thanks for putting these out here!
To this day my favorite episode and moment of SurvivorMan. Once he reels in that second fish and he's at a loss for words just says it all.
les ate better here than i do normally lol
Seriously don’t stop Les. You are a god

always makes me happy seeing the joy on les face when he lands a fish
" That's what you look like to me". 🎥 I thinks that's the first time he's done that ...4th wall be damned🤣🤣
The landscape really is enchanting. I’d love to spend a year on Baffin in a cabin just fishing and writing.
