Survivorman | Romania Part 2 | Les Stroud
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 тра 2021
- In part two, Les simulates being medically stranded and lost in the forested Transylvanian Alps to test the skills of Romania’s top Search and Rescue Team. Les feels totally trapped, immobilized by a simulated splintered leg and stranded in the dense mountainous terrain of Romania’s Transylvanian Alps. Romania’s renowned Search and Rescue Team are working around the clock to find him, but the thick forest cover has them looking for a needle in a haystack. Medically stranded with no food, water, fire or shelter, Romania proves to be a real survival challenge, even for someone as experienced as Les.
Directed by: Les Stroud
Starring: Les Stroud - Розваги
Just heard on the local news that Les and his team were part of a mission to find a fisherman that was lost in the woods this month for 17 nights. The mission was a success! Thank you Les and the JCSAR team for finding Harry.
17 nights? I don't think i could survive even a day or two. These ppl are real heroes
@@cleverusername9369 Hey thanks for recommending 😃 i've already watched that movie and to be honest, it was terrifying and an unpredictable situation just by imagining being alone in the jungle. It was a fantastic movie by the way.
@@polkadots2823 I read hatchet when I was a kid I feel it lol
Guy must have left a handkerchief on an exposed root before wandering into the woods away from the road. This must have been Les' first video. He said out loud "ive been gone for 24, 36, 48 hours". Survivorman doesn't know the difference between one and two days lolololol WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
@@cleverusername9369 read Endurance if you wanna know about survival
les really went "this is getting difficult imma pretend my legs broken"
Yeah.....
"y'all im so tired pls carry me"
My laughing ass having the same thought at the same time.
Imma just "simulate" the mistake of eating all my food now.
It kind of made me realize that he must have got the message out. He was really concerned last part but this one he's simulating something that would put him in crazy survival peril.
Les, my husband Mike and I would watch your show together here in Michigan. Mike passed away suddenly at home May 18th. He was 56. He was a great fan. I find myself watching now and it brings comfort. He thought you were so cool. I have no doubt if he had found himself in a situation, as he was an outdoorsman, that he would have used skills he learned from you. He died after back surgery, in recovery. Our youngest son and I will keep watching.
Sorry for your loss tammy 😔
I'm very sorry for you loss Tammy - I hope you and your Son find some small comfort in the shows - thank you for letting me know about your husband - he left us far too soon.
Such a cool dude. ^^^
"broken Leg Blues" the next banger since "Foot Fungus Blues"
OMG I WAS SINGING THAT THIS ENTIRE EPISODE
Man that’s old school right there haha I’ve been watching this how since I was a young boy
I got the feeeet fungus blues!
Here we go. Les out here flashing people in the wilderness again 😂
Les be trolling like "Yeah, my leg or something...Carry me out of here boys!"
I dare you to use that phraseology offline. And in real life. To a black persons face.
You: "YO DWAWG. HE BE LEIK TROLLIN N' SHIT"
What yall thank black people be lookin like: 👳🏾♀️🥷🏿
About 35 years ago, I was a member of Salvamont. You mostly do the right Things.
Welcome to Romania.
Imagine coming across a lost hiker with a broken leg playing harmonica in the woods hahaha
with a bunch of cameras and declines help
He would still be smiling.
Sounds like a side mission irl
i would break my legg and join
Am I in RDR2 🤔😂
In a time where everyone is spoiled for choice, I choose this to watch
After the rescuers blew the hockey horn a fight momentarily broke out but then they continued the search.
@@garyminick1050 lol
youve alwayce bin ^ ^ ?
As a citizen of Romania, I don't know how to thank you for making this video in my native country! No survivor has ever done this! You're the best ever!
Actually you should check it out more. Bear Grylls did Romania, so did Dual Survivor. I'm a resident in your country and like to check them out.
@@mannymanhardt3248 Yeah but that's Bear Grylls....not really full survival there lol
@@mannymanhardt3248 I almost admire the brass balls you have praising Bear Grylls on a Les Stroud video....almost.
@@chuckn4851 only stating others have done Romania, chill out
@@mannymanhardt3248 they haven't DONE Romania, they've filmed a Hollywood knockoff of Les' show there.
Thank you mr stroud! I’m from Romania and been living in Ontario since small. I remember trekking and hunting those mountains with my grandfather
@@gone1583 yes! Ontario and Canada in general is the best country on this planet! We are super privileged
27:46 The every-reliable taut-line hitch, albeit with an extra (3rd) loop. A knot everybody should know. Brilliant idea to take the time to demonstrate this.
Much respect for the Romania rescue team, thank you for saving Les! From Canada.
69th like, so you know that's right!
At the end....”Nah I’m just messing with you guys I wasn’t really lost.”
Every single Friday morning. I wait for this Les, one of the best parts of my week.
I have happily told everyone I know that you are uploading old episodes for everyone, you deserve so, so many more people watching ♡
Me too. One of the first things I do on Friday is look for the new upload
Where I live it's mostly night time, so I crack a beer and pop them popcorns and just enjoy the wisdom of survivor man! :D
based
He broke every rule 4 minutes in.
@@deadpanfish sure he did
Love the Romanians. Been there many times. Very lovely, strong, generous people.
I just have to say here how much respect I have for those that go out and risk their own wellbeing to find and help someone in need of rescue. No sane person goes out with the intention of needing help like this. It sure is nice to know that someone will try.
@@gone1583 I am thankful for their drive
Awesome people, search & rescue! Blessings
This is unique about humanity - compassion.
And they are paid little to nothing
@@paweszymonjasinski7158 Science has actually proven that empathy and compassion aren't traits unique to humans. Many animals have shown signs of altruism - sacrificing their own well being for another's. This happens both within and between different species. Animals occasionally adopt babies of another species when they're found helpless. I recommend the book 'The Secret Life of Animals' by Peter Wohlleben. It's a good read.
"Gotta find the sweet ones... uh getting full." Les doesn't joke too often but he should.
Fake is fake. Get out of here
@@igintell7295 ?
This reminded me of the plane crash episode: "Well there is one thing I can do with just one arm, I can play with my...
...harmonica." 😅
Is that episode on UA-cam?
@@bbardiya4424 Yeah, it's uploaded on this channel, if you go to his playlists it's in season 1 and literally titled Plane Crash. Its one of my favourite episodes, well worth a watch!
@@bbardiya4424 Not only is it up so is the directors commentary. That is still my favorite episode.
When you're sick of hiking: Let´s try the medically stranded approach.
Yeah, that can get expensive!
😂
Lmao
Never realized how beautiful Romania is. I'm a still star struck.
Check out the Danube delta too !
Right? I was like, this is Romania??
"Impaled Anus" sounds like the name of a death metal band.
@Paul j That would be "Impaled Rektum". I suggest the song Kuusamo. :D
Another very good reason to never slide down a hill :0
@@equinsuocha8794 I thought you were joking, until I looked it up.
The impaled anus blues
Big respect to all the shepherds in Romania.
Don't know what's more awesome, Les doing Les things, or the Search and Rescue Team (any team, not just these guys) being such absolute badasses.
I got chills when they found the bandanna! God this is amazing
what? haha what's wrong with you..
Chills of excitement max well
It's nice to know there are still trees and natural areas in Europe. After 10,000 years of armies and civilizations crossing these areas.
I hope you didnt actually think europe had no trees or nature
Thanks for showcasing SALVAMONT. They are really good volunteer rescue service. Also dedicated environmental
educators
I wonder what the reaction of the search and rescue was when they realized that Les's leg wasn't actually broken lmao
Pretty sure its all pre-planed in that regard seeing how they filmed their operation start to finish. This is meant more as a showcase of the inner workings of a search and rescue team to help viewers get some perspective and manage their expectations in case they'll ever be in the position to need their help.
They left him there and told him to walk home 😅
@@AlexanderHL1919 yeah, SAR does training like this multiple times a year. My wife got to participate a few years ago and went for a ride in their helicopter, strapped to a back board.
@Gladio Light lmao
I'm pretty sure they knew that this was for a TV show or else why would all these cameras be on them all the time. Now with that said they probably didn't know that the broken leg wasn't really broken but they probably know Les wasn't really a "Lost" hiker. Organizations like this relish the chance to drill in this manner and take every opportunity to do so. Les and his producers probably went to them before hand and asked if they would be willing to participate. Great propaganda for them.
That ending brought tears to my eyes.
Also, it would be a great ad for their recruitment campaign.
I am glad I am not alone. It is incredible how much emotion them finding Les brought out of me, even though I know that he could have probably "rescued" himself. But the fact that he let them treat him and carry him out on the cart was emotional too. They were able to complete their mission before being told it was an exercise. A very successful one too. I hope they feel proud of their accomplishment.
?
Tears?lol ok
STONKS
Wait....
I used to watch the legend Les Stroud years ago..
Am I seeing things????
Is he back???
Seriously...this is definitely a dream!
Romanian here ! This was amazing to see, I never expected to see you coming to Romania :))) The salvamont is amazing and they are really kind people :))
If there was ever someone that I would want to look for as part of a SAR exercise, it would be Les.
I was saved by the Salvamont (Râșnov team), back in 97. All of those guys were volunteers and they came for of us and save us after 12 hours. It was like winning lottery. .
Big respect to Romanian rescue 😀
5:03 Rain gear. You should always buy your rain gear from the Viking salesman Rudolph the Red. Because "Rudolph the Red Knows Rain Gear."
Lol
A member of our alpine club went missing this summer in the French alps, he still hasn't been found and now winter has set in search has stopped. That shows despite in a modern country with a lot of often well maintained hiking trails, mountain huts and tourists, how hard those rescue teams job is... so the utmost respect for them from belgium.
Dam that Is crazy like he said if they don't find them right away chances are they died on impact. I'm pretty sure there are no deadly animal but the cold and steep hilks is more than enough to Kill someone. Have you ever found a dead missing person??
I'm so sorry .
The winter can be a brutal enemy in some situasions.
Regards from Norway ✌
my condolences for your missing team member ❤
Romanian here.I just started watching you and i loved it. People say that you have to follow a river if you find one and you will find a settlement.
Respect to the Romania Search and Rescue !
imagine being a Romanian s&r team and rescuing some middle aged westerner and it turns out he is a world class survival instructor.,
Every time I watch this episode I think I gain even more respect for those guys and gals. That’s a lot of time, stress, work and accountability they take on their shoulders to do their job.
To Search and Rescue units all over the world, Thank you for all you do. We appreciate you.
Les: I'm heading out to film another survivorman episode.
Les Fam: Alright, Break a leg!
Les: Say no more
Making Romanians proud. THanks Les!
Is no one going to talk about the fact that mid show while simulating a broken leg Les absolutely demolished some freestyle harmonica? Respect
Those guys made it look easy, When everything looks the same not sure how they navigate thru it all. But thank God for dedicated men who brave the elements to save a life. They are for sure Romania's finest.
As medically challenged Vet who wanders the local desert this episode hits home.
Thank you for your service sir!!
Stop it. Fellow vets who feel a need to mention their service and/or a disability is so cringy and pathetic. You're literally passively begging for attention, just stop.
I beg for nothing. I search for gold and relics. I do this because I hate people and like being alone. I adapted to my weakness and made my way. Your cringe is wasted here.
@@IdahoPartisan Your past statement literally contradicted your current one, with feeling a need to mention your service and disability, gtfo. You could have wrote something to affect of "this hits home as someone who wanders the desert for gold etc." But alas, you want recognition. Pathetic! Hates people, but wants their admiration through a social media platform. Bro you're a joke.
@@IdahoPartisan Just keep adding that modern victim mentality into veteran's identity. Not all of us are disabled nor have ptsd, in fact only 30% of combat vets do. So stfu.
Les, i used to religiously watch your show on tv growing up. i feel like i get to re live my childhood now because you upload on youtube. huge thanks from Minnesota
So great to highlight the Romanian Salvamonte and their hard work.
DAMN! Biggest of respect to those Romanians.
Salvamont must be quite the professionals to find him fast and efficiently.
They are, it takes 2 years of training to become a full Salvamont member, you start up as a volunteer, then work your way up. it does not pay much but they do so much for us!
And as far as i know all the people that didn't die immediately in an accident all the ones lost or injured on our mountains were rescued.
I'm so tired of people on youtube clicking thumbs down on such dope content as this. Les Stroud is an incredibly valuable resource to have access to.
The most endangered canadian species. National treasure.
sometimes when the YT content doesnt fit your needs, its better to downvote a video, so the algorithem doesnt recomend that kinda of stuff. its the only reason i can immagine someone would, cause this dude is awesome!
Well, because you use the word dope in a UA-cam comment I understand why you waste such precious mental resources caring about UA-cam "likes"
@@jean-paulvonk6812 get out of here mister literal

Dont forget your garlic and silver crucifix
Dogman/werewolf COUNTRY
Thanks for your kind words for our Salvamont team.
Too bad, they don't use drones.
I was in the county search and rescue for 25 years. Theses guys that found you are the real thing. Such professionals.
👍👍
I´d really like a studio version of the broken leg blues.
Longlife respect to this man and women !!!🇷🇴✝️🙏🏻❤️
A person who risks their life to help save another's life, is a real hero.
When Les is eating the spruce buds and then he says, "I'm getting full..." then he looks at the camera like, "yeah...right." lol hilarious
Thank you Les for all the years of life saving advice. Your a true Canadian icon to be admired.
Les you're one of the worlds most badass and talented dudes on the planet just wanted to actually comment to show my appreciation for you, sir. Take care and be good please
-Kevin Keidong
32:40 "I'm full" i burst out laughing when you looked at the camera, being full, and not wanting to eat anymore spruce buds, not the same. Glad your out there eating grass and worms, man it brings back memories. Also being disabled myself, watching you fight your way around staying alive, we'll it just makes one empathize I guess.
Keep up the great work Mr.
Thank god there are people like this rescue crew in the world. Imagine if humanity was so apathetic that we didn’t have people like that. It’s not a world I want to live in.
Broken leg....lost in the woods.....hungry ..... and getting onto night on a mountain blues......sounds like a play list for my life
This was really something Survivorman, i didn't ever think that Romania's Fagaras mountains will be that perilous. I live in Romania and didn't ever think that this would be one of your most close call encounters with survival out in the wilds, i have seen most of your outings in the wilds all around the globe, ever since i was a kid and watching the Discovery Channel, but this one seemed like a close call. It seems that you need some good tech when prepping to go out and also some neat survival techniques to give those rescuers some bits of hints to track you down. May God bless our Salvamont teams as they are relentless in searching for lost souls out here. Thank you for your teachings and thank the SAR teams for their God's work in saving lost souls. Much respect!
Les, you are a rare breed. Thanks for sharing your adventures from survivorman on UA-cam.
Les, maybe you can do a new episode of just showing how to tie knots? The one you showed is great.
Also how to properly identify plants and mushrooms would be. I live in pa and in woods need my house there are red yellow white orange hell even purple mushrooms! I'd love to learn more about knots and also about plant identification and mushrooms types
@@abrahamwashington8579 I think that there's an app for that, you take a picture of whatever plant and it identifies it for you?
@@donniev8181 there probably are apps but somtimes there are mushrooms that look very similar but are bad I'd rather watch a video or learn it in person tbh
@@abrahamwashington8579 check out Canadianfunguy's channel and Greg Ovens
@@abrahamwashington8579 also, the app i was talking about differentiates between similar mushrooms and plants.
These last two episodes were amazing to watch. The crazy part is I just Broke my leg on Saturday last week putting up a tent, preparing for a week long trip next month. Im sad I will not be able to go but at least I get to watch Les and learning from him. Will definitely be go in late August after my leg has some time to heal up.
Survivorman brings me comfort. reminds me of my childhood watching on a cold spring day when all the windows are open
Watched you my whole childhood and continue till this day as an adult. Thanks for all the things I've learned from survival or not!
What if you were escaping and trying not to be found? Some of this information could be utilized in reverse. New Series titles: Lost and Not Found.
That requires a much higher level of self-reliance and skill.. .. Being alone and purposely out of reach also requires being acutely aware of what its like to be isolated/alone and being able to deal with it mentally ....
"Not lost and not found."
or could be called "Adult hide and seek" or "Hunted"
*Helicopter pilot* : Hey its crazy we found you man! Who are you??
*Les Strouds* : I am Les Strouds, Survivorman. I go to the most remote places on earth to survive on my own for 10 days
*Helicoper pilot* : It's remote and dangerous alright but... it's only been 5 days?
*Les Strouds turn to camera* The Salvomont are know to the worlds most experienced search and rescue operators ready for the toughest conditions. But are they ready mentally?
*Catasrophic failure alarm goes off and sounds of bolts popping as everybody panics onboard*
*Les Strouds* : *smirks at Camera*
Survivorman: life sentence
*You enter the jail and one of the first in line gets jumped and stabed with a shank, the murderer checks the pockets of the victim to remove tobacco, The killer removes the blade from within his teeth and he lurks back up looking at a camera* "Hi I'm Les Strouds. Cigarettes are a great delicacy here in the federal prison system, you have to be alert and ready for every opportunity when it presents itself"
The search and rescue team seems like the absolute peak of humanity
Just good people all around.
No rest until the lost souls are found
Gotta respect that.
And please note that the Salvamont jobs here in Romania do not pay that much... At most, they make the average salary from here... and actually, they also have a lot of volunteers. But they do have all the equipment they need.
Thank god for search and rescue teams, i recently had to call on their help when i was on a remote trail fly fishing and came down wrong over a fell log and snapped my ankle and pulled the ligaments off the bone. Luckily i was prepared for something like that and splinted my ankle and had a few snacks with me along with a fire starter. Thankfully i was only there for about 12 hours like that and they found me late that night by spotting my fire on the side of the river bed. Still recovering now in a boot, but as i said thank you to anybody that goes out there and find people in need!
This is why Les is so impressive. He cripples himself to show how to handle real situations. He genuinely wants to help people.
If you "thumbs downed" Les Stroud, why are you even watching?
Les. Honestly I could watch you all day long, sit there and survive while S&R tracks you down. This episode was top notch. Even for the tenth time I have watched it. Love to see some more NEW sit, survive and get rescued Survivorman episodes.
Cheers
Thank you, Les!! It's been so long since I've seen any of these, and I don't think I ever saw this one, it was brand new to me! Romania is such a beautiful place, and man, those SAR folks did good. I'm so glad to be able to watch these!!!
The Romania survival is one of my favorites.
I was completely sucked in to this one. Those are some badass people right there. 🤘🏼 great episode! 👍🏼
The owl said I hope that crazy human doesn't scare away. The big juicy rabbit I spotted last night. Lol God bless
So cool!!
Felicitari echipei Salvamont!!
👍👍👍
best episode of any survival series ever
That rescue squad is the real deal
Am I the only one who wants to see Les Stroud on the next season of ALONE???? I love this channel and the show Alone, I'd love to see that :D
Makes me hope there is a donation site or organization for such rescue teams. There work is so under appreciated and not even acknowledged enough!!!
Actually, there is no need for donations that much, they are financed by the Romanian Gov and by big companies, the best part of this is that they are well trained if I`m not mistaking it takes 2 years of training to get the Salvamont member title, you start as a volunteer and work your way up to becoming a full member.
And in Romania, their efforts are well mediatized with their interventions making the news.
I would do it for free... Just look how beautiful it is to walk all over the forest
(Les plays harmonica a while)
Rescuer: "WE HEAR YOU CUT THAT S*** OUT!"
Those SAR guys are one in a million, no matter where they call home! The most professional group of professionals you will ever see.
Been waiting for this all week bro! Thaaaaaanks! regards from South Africa!!
Les: "Hmm, easy, normal, hard, expert mode. Hmm, I guess I'll choose expert."
Also Les: "Alright, I added some mods into the game to make it a bit more difficult."
Jokes aside, overall a very touching episode.
Such an honour to have our beautiful Romania mentioned in your youtube channel. It is such a beautiful country, many scared to explore it to maximum. Hope your experience is unforgettable.
I play Stranded Deep and imagine I'm Les Stroud, chilling on the beach with a campfire and my harmonica
All the men and women of search and rescue. Throughout the world are heroes. God bless
he's 53 and still doing all this incredible vids, what a man
He's 59 now.
That would take some guts to put out a chopper for a television video show.
SweeTarts! I knew we were kindred spirits.
Looking forward to this!
To the video or getting lost lmao
The end description was epic as all of his other shows thats why les stroud is the best
Your harmonica makes everything calm and cool.
I dunno what you know of broken legs but Femur is one of the hardest bones in your body to break. I'd wager most leg injuries are fibula/tibia or ankles. You can do quite a bit on a broken ankle, it hurts for sure but I walked 4 miles off a mountain with a broken ankle. I just grabbed a big stick and did my best to support my weight to keep pressure off it. Tibia or fibula a bit different story and much more painful. Tent making with broken ankle sure if you actually managed to break a femur I doubt you will move more then 2 feet. Had a buddy break his leg on a tree snowsledding, we had to drag him on a sled back to his house he couldn't function and would cry out at very small movements. I've broken like 20+ bones and can tell you what you can do during most of them lol. Great episode though! Romania is beautiful! Much respect to the volunteer guardian angels all over the world!
The satisfaction a hard-core search and rescue team must feel when they know they're close and there are signs of life must be -enormous-.
Les Stroud with the fake broken leg at the end was like "I can get a free ride down the hill and I can say i did it for them. It's a win win."
That look got me @32:32 😄😄
