Why did you have the same teacher in middle school and high school? I went to a different school in 6th (school was all 6th graders), 7th (school was all 7th graders), 8th (school was all 8th graders), and 9th grade (normal high school) so that wouldn’t have been possible for me.
I can’t even imagine the misery of trying to wait out a night in the hot jungle full of insects when you’re already so worn out. Seeing that really made me appreciate my nice, unmoving bed haha
Can we just stop and appreciate that this man, in the life and death serious business of survival in the outdoors.... has Scooby underwear with hearts. No matter how serious your life or you yourself are: it’s good to have a fun side, adds balance. Edit: I wrote Scoopy 🤦🏽♀️
@@Ryanbenitezfilms but he basically starves and dehydrates himself on these ventures. Hes too old to do that now. Mind you these were filmed over 10 years ago
We must stop getting stuff from China. They send invasive species ruining our eco-systems.. They have been CREATING MARKETS, out to make us dependant on them through time.. Spotted lantern Fly....Emerald Bore Beetle....Jumping Worm....Engineered Deer Tick.....Who knows what Else..
You know les is a smart guy, not with the survival skills, but the fact that to this day he can release these for free without some company holding him back!
Well I mean he literally produced it. He filmed it all it's 100% his. When it comes to editing/broadcasting it just comes to what they are allowed to show on public broadcast. As well as how quick they can show it. Like a 4 hour camp build but in 30 seconds. His knowledge in surviving skills is insane... He's learned survival tactics from practically every edge of the world so it's just weird for me to see you say - he's not a smart guy with survival skills. And more about how he just puts it on UA-cam. If I got lost and had one survival expert in the world with me it'd be Les. Good damn chance we're both living by the end of it.
I think he's extra smart to reap the extra benefits from UA-cam on the side at this day and age, and coming out with extra directors content stuff which is awesome to watch btw! It's cool to hear the inside story from the man himself, you should check em out!
@@Arcin321 I mean, if my knowledge is correct on copyright law, just because you film and do something, it doesn't automatically become yours. For instance, who paid Les to do these things? Who purchased the camera equipment? Who pays the crew, accommodations, etc? The Discovery channel owns/owned these episodes because they aired them and most likely funded them. Perhaps some time period was placed on them becoming Les' property, but I'm almost 100% certain that he hadn't owned them this entire time.
I was Infantry in Panama for 4 years and yep; the jungle is hard. I worked in Deserts, Mountains, Forest and Arctic and the jungle was by far the hardest.
I went to Costa Rica almost 10 years ago and we went on a night hike in the jungle. We were all so scared because there's so many unfamiliar things there, meanwhile our guide was talking about how he visited the US and was terrified of the woods because of bears lol
I went to a place in Gaunacaste I think that's how it's spelt. I found a half eaten snake dead on a trail one day. It was about 5 foot long as well. Howler monkeys are crazy loud
@@jonnygranville281 But at least Les only eats when he's hungry, or teach us what can be eaten even if it seems gross. He never does it to shock the audience, unlike some of the other shows that were on air at the same time.
@Forrest Robles that guys a faker he got called out for it , he would spend some days in hotels and carcasses were staged/placed, faked lava etc list goes on and yea some of the stuff I remember was pretty gross and also some of the information he gave was wrong and could make things worse not better
Man these episodes really take me back to when I was a teenager watching these with my family... Thank you for your generosity in posting these! Always loved your videos, could watch them over and over again.
Every time I watch one of these episodes, I get insanely thirsty. I don't know how I'd get on doing this without any. Guy's got stamina I couldn't even pretend to have.
Is it just me or does this episode come off as more intense than others? Maybe it’s because this is earlier on in Les’s Survivorman career, but you can feel his stress in this one (especially during that first night in the jungle). It’s interesting comparing it to the last episode, where he stays out in another jungle. He says “In the jungle you just have to get used to the fact that things crawl on you at night”. It’s as if it all comes full circle. Whatever it is, this is the episode that made me realize that Les is really out there. Like I actually realize that his in a dangerous environment and could potentially die. The viewer knows that Les survives, but he doesn’t know while he’s filming.
In general, South/Central America jungles are the most intense episodes. There's one in Ecuador with his son that's kinda brutal, and it's pretty late in his career.
I got those vibes too. At the beginning he only stayed at the shore line, like he was hesitant to go in the jungle, trying to feel out the area first. Can't blame him, those jungles are full of things that'll kill ya, the plants, the bugs, the predators. It's also incredibly easy to get turned around and end up lost, that's game over. Super intense, probably one of the most dangerous place he's ever been and he captured it so well, his apprehension and caution was palpable. Les is and always will be a badas; Survivorman
22:40 I really appreciate that Les says this and makes it clear that, while the show is intended to be educational, they are still trying to entertain the audience, which is why they set challenges like having to find your own way back to safety. If there's one thing you should almost never do in a real survival situation, it's try to self rescue. Only if you KNOW no one is looking for you, or if you have no other choice, should you try. Normally, your best bet is to stay put and do everything you can to make your presence known to anyone that may be in the area.
Sometimes you may end up lost with a group of people that are truly stupid, and stubborn about it. Sticking with them becomes the smarter move, even if the group refuses to listen and goes for the stupid move and not staying put.
The more of these shows I watch the more I feel like I'm in a survival situation. LIke today when I was cutting the grass I saw some reddish blossoms and I thought I wonder if that's edible.
I was lucky enough to do a one month Outward Bound backpacking trip in Costa Rica. One night my tarp/sleeping bag setup happened to conflict with the path of an army ant colony. Boy was that fun
Iown291 the fact that you were watching this at 7 tells me that your successes are to be attributed to yourself and not false inspiration the only 7 year olds that would watch this type of show are kids that god has given the will power to be true men or serial killers...it’s a fine line
Costa Rican here! ✌️ I remember when this episode came on TV, watching you thrive and survive in the jungle and do it with basically no equipment, was a total and major respect. Great to see it again after so many years, you are awesome. Pura vida ✌️
I was looking for this show a few months and wasn’t able to find it anywhere, now I get to binge it here. Thanks for reviving my old favourite show Les.
You know I would really enjoy some gear designed by Les. Not just small survival items but bushcraft /outdoor line of gear. I think he would have some great input with his experience
@@ChefofWar33 Bear is totally a fraud. His only goal was to be sensational and goofy to make money... The exact opposite of what Les has always gone for.
His demeanor and dry sense of humour was always one of my favourite parts of Les's personality 😂😂 "I'm not going to eat the head. Dont ask me why, I just dont want to eat the head." 🤣🤣
I love your shows! Even as a kid, me and my friends would go to the woods behind my house and "Survive" for two-three days. Being older I realize that real survival ain't fun, but you definitely impacted my youth
Favorite survival show. Imagine how much less camera gear he could get away with now...little gopros for a couple hundred bucks can have the same video quality as his heavy gear did then.
Les at the end when you said “I’m looking forward to some snow” I felt that. Last summer we had record heat in Illinois and I was outside all day everyday. Regardless of hydration I kept succumbing to heat exhaustion and heat stroke a couple of times. This winter I’ve been appreciating the cold and dreading the heat to come!
In survival situation I think cold/ snowy region is the main killer. In hot desert you can at least take shade only move at night to preserve energy, but in cold environment just Keeping body temperature itself is already consume so much energy. Let alone finding something to eat. Keeping body temperature is more important in survival rule of three
I’m with you on hating the heat, it’s unbearable here in Tennessee from pretty much April through October, and I can’t stand hot weather. Put me somewhere cold wet and foggy or snowy and I’m fine. Even the desert is better because it’s dry heat and it cools off at night. Here it gets over 100 degrees regularly. Makes parts of your body stick together that weren’t meant to be stuck together. 🦇
Thank you so much for uploading your older seasons onto here I haven’t been able to find them to watch since the hard drive on my computer crashed I had them downloaded and watched them constantly while I was in the Military
This Costa Rica episode is one of my favorites of all time because there were stuff crawling on him right at the outset and he responded the same way all of us would if we were sitting in pitch black and couldn't see wtf was crawling on us and I like how he tried to pick that tree trunk as a place to settle down but everything is crawling on him at that point so hilarious and horrifying...lol
I used to watch this dude when I was like 8 or 9 on cable TV. Its great to see he still gets the respect he deserves. I mean, the bigfoot stuff was dumb but he's still a survival genius
Les was screwed with the big foot season. No way was he going to be able to deliver anything other than stories. Then the "experts" scammed him to show something other than stories.
Back in college (Colorado) we had to do field work about a mile from where we parked the cars. About half-way there was a little creek. I would just lay down in it with clothes and boots on. By the time I would get to the site I would be completely dry - that always amazed me. Probably not the boots - but they never bothered me. Thanks for a great show and bringing back some of my own memories. (Which thankfully don't include huge spiders!!)
Lol I always find it so amusing when les is dealing with shitty situations like bugs, rain, ect. He takes it like a man for our viewing pleasure. Love les
Wonder how many miles Les has walked just doing the “walk away” camera shots. Let’s remember how much a pain in the damn assss that would be on top of survival.
I'm so stoked you are sharing the episodes for us to watch during all this. I haven't seen these since I was kid so many memories! And hilarious and helpful commentary thank you Les 🤘🇨🇦
@@creamteam499 WHAT AGE ARE YOU AND DOYA FANCY DOING ME A HUGE FAVOR...IF YES HERE IS THE QUICK VERSION...LAST YEAR I HAD A HEART ATTACK...OK NOW BUT AT THE TIME,WOW...ANYWAYS IF I SEND YOU SOME CASH COULD YOU POST ME SOME...
Thanks for putting these on here. When the world gets to chaotic I put one of your videos on and it helps to simplify life. Are my basic needs met? Yep, thankful and carrying on 😊 On another note, I watched all these when they first came out and have used many of your survival teachings to get me out of jams, both while wandering around Ecuador for a few years and while at work as a landscaper in Eastern North Carolina.
First time ever watching Survivorman and it happens to be right when Lee uploads the full episodes to UA-cam, with that kinda luck id breeze right through a week
I always forget this was from the tele so I am constantly pleasantly surprised when he isn't like everyone else on youtube with the whole "whats up youtube it's your boy Les here and here I am with a new survival situation" and the "if you want more make sure to hit that like button and subscribe"
Loved survivor man, I love your UA-cam channel. I love that you tell it as it is. If it's tough you say it is, but you teach good lessons that could save lives. I'm soaking up your wisdom, Less
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate you posting your work for free. You truly care about passing on knowledge. (I know he gets ad revenue but still, this used to be on T.V and now we can watch it without paying)
I'm a coconut! "NUT" you're making my mouth water.. . My dad was a Woodsman of the world!!! As well as all of our relatives!!! I was six or seven when he brought home the first coconut I never seen!!! Didn't like it then! but I love it now.. .
I'd kill to see him one do one last episode for fun. After the Covid 1-9 Joke episode I realized how he hasn't lost his touch and is still just as entertaining and endearing, so to see him do one last episode would be killer. If not then I totally get it, I mean reliving all these episodes for free is a gratitude I cannot express in words. Thank you, Les
I propose Survivorman - The Hood. Seven days in the Southside without a gun, knife or pepper spray. Have Les subsist on convenience store groceries or go dumpster diving at various fast-food joints. Alternate locations - Atlanta, Memphis, St. Louis...
Man, i remember watching these with my dad when they first came out. Whats fascinating to me (besides all of the badass-ness of Les Stroud) is how much camera tech. has improved in such a short amount of time. I mean, check out that underwater camera lol and think about the newest go-pros now. Just crazy.
Honestly, I kinda get it. Especially if the bugs we're talking about are poisonous or have a nasty bite. I'd be willing to camp outside here in Canada (maybe just because it's where I live and I sorta know all the bugs around here), but send me to Australia and NAH nah I'm staying in my hotel. ...Around here we don't even have cockroaches. I know they're harmless but I still wouldn't want to say hi to a colony of them.
I just got back from Osa, and it really is that nuts. It's just packed with life. Impenetrable forest. It's beautiful, but definitely a deadly place to get stranded. What doesn't quite show here is how hilly the jungle is. You can't just walk through it in a straight line. Everything's a big, treacherous hill. It's impossible. You're definitely better off staying on the beach and picking a direction. It would be a strenuous, scorching hike, but you'd get to a house or something in at most probably 30km. There's also a lot of boats, so that gives you a decent chance too.

Oh wow... my most very favorite television program of all time right here.
If you guys ever want to expiriance a great tasting food then spend days with out it
“Sand is a real irritant, it gets into everything” Anakin Skywalker vibes lol
Lol I always find it so amusing when les is dealing with shitty situations like bugs, rain, ect. He takes it like a man for our viewing pleasure. Love les
Wonder how many miles Les has walked just doing the “walk away” camera shots. Let’s remember how much a pain in the damn assss that would be on top of survival.
I'm so stoked you are sharing the episodes for us to watch during all this. I haven't seen these since I was kid so many memories! And hilarious and helpful commentary thank you Les 🤘🇨🇦
HEY CT WHAT'S THE STORY...YOU GUYS ARE SO SO LUCKY ABOUT THE WEED LEGALIZATION...DO YOU SMOKE BUDDY...GREETINGS FROM DUBLIN IRELAND...

@@creamteam499 WHAT AGE ARE YOU AND DOYA FANCY DOING ME A HUGE FAVOR...IF YES HERE IS THE QUICK VERSION...LAST YEAR I HAD A HEART ATTACK...OK NOW BUT AT THE TIME,WOW...ANYWAYS IF I SEND YOU SOME CASH COULD YOU POST ME SOME...
Yes thank you les! I still watch this show all the time
Nice macguyver trick with the Scooby-Doo
Very fond memories watching this show with my grandfather. He always found it hilarious when you would express how good food tastes 😅
Man this is great thanks for uploading during these times
Thanks for putting these on here. When the world gets to chaotic I put one of your videos on and it helps to simplify life. Are my basic needs met? Yep, thankful and carrying on 😊
On another note, I watched all these when they first came out and have used many of your survival teachings to get me out of jams, both while wandering around Ecuador for a few years and while at work as a landscaper in Eastern North Carolina.
The man who started it all . Wicked Les.❤
Is it his official? This dude started the he r ality survival genre IMHO. Support him!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Every time I hear the intro music it makes me giggle because it sounds like the words are “tickle tickle tickle “ 🥳
then the hindu voice: "AAAAAaaaAAAahhhh aghghaahghg"
That's the kinda intro to set your mind for the show ahead...
I've been watching his shows for the last 20 years Hands down the most intriguing survival/wildlife show there is no one touches Les Strouts
First time ever watching Survivorman and it happens to be right when Lee uploads the full episodes to UA-cam, with that kinda luck id breeze right through a week
love that your Canadian always have, if you can survive a Canadian winter out in the bush you can survive anywhere
You're the best! Thank you again! Gonna binge watch all of them!
I always forget this was from the tele so I am constantly pleasantly surprised when he isn't like everyone else on youtube with the whole "whats up youtube it's your boy Les here and here I am with a new survival situation" and the "if you want more make sure to hit that like button and subscribe"
Loved survivor man, I love your UA-cam channel. I love that you tell it as it is. If it's tough you say it is, but you teach good lessons that could save lives. I'm soaking up your wisdom, Less
I mean Les
THANK YOU!!! I appreciate you posting your work for free. You truly care about passing on knowledge. (I know he gets ad revenue but still, this used to be on T.V and now we can watch it without paying)
Glad I discovered these on UA-cam 😋
I'm a coconut! "NUT" you're making my mouth water.. . My dad was a Woodsman of the world!!! As well as all of our relatives!!! I was six or seven when he brought home the first coconut I never seen!!! Didn't like it then! but I love it now.. .
Love all of your past episodes and all of your new content and videos!! Keep it up Les!
Wow i have had many coconuts, but never knew about the spouting ones
Holy hell!! You did this episode w a damaged & infected toe??!!!!
Whoa. Hardcore!
Thank you Les for letting us watch your videos..
Ever been accidentally rescued early?
You mean like a boat load of hot chicks pull up with steaks and ice cold beer? lol
Big fan. Thanks a lot for uploading the videos. The Scooby Doo underwear is a funny touch..
Anytime you’re feeling hungry, hot, tired, run down, miserable…….just think back to the arctic episode…you’ll feel better almost instantly.
Costa Rica is stunningly beautiful.
Thanks so much.
I'd kill to see him one do one last episode for fun. After the Covid 1-9 Joke episode I realized how he hasn't lost his touch and is still just as entertaining and endearing, so to see him do one last episode would be killer. If not then I totally get it, I mean reliving all these episodes for free is a gratitude I cannot express in words. Thank you, Les
I propose Survivorman - The Hood. Seven days in the Southside without a gun, knife or pepper spray. Have Les subsist on convenience store groceries or go dumpster diving at various fast-food joints. Alternate locations - Atlanta, Memphis, St. Louis...
Wow, I can’t believe how young Les was here !
Just found these on here it’s been forever since I’ve watched this show still so good definitely my favorite stoned activity bingeing these
Man, i remember watching these with my dad when they first came out. Whats fascinating to me (besides all of the badass-ness of Les Stroud) is how much camera tech. has improved in such a short amount of time. I mean, check out that underwater camera lol and think about the newest go-pros now. Just crazy.
than your lord for it
@@zoka9260 not all technical advances come from God.
@@outdoorsforachangenone come from an imaginary sky daddy😂.
The night footage of all the bugs moving around is exactly why I'm scared of traveling and visiting places that aren't a very urban city.
*shudders*
LOL urbanites are pathetic.
Honestly, I kinda get it. Especially if the bugs we're talking about are poisonous or have a nasty bite. I'd be willing to camp outside here in Canada (maybe just because it's where I live and I sorta know all the bugs around here), but send me to Australia and NAH nah I'm staying in my hotel.
...Around here we don't even have cockroaches. I know they're harmless but I still wouldn't want to say hi to a colony of them.
I just got back from Osa, and it really is that nuts. It's just packed with life. Impenetrable forest. It's beautiful, but definitely a deadly place to get stranded. What doesn't quite show here is how hilly the jungle is. You can't just walk through it in a straight line. Everything's a big, treacherous hill. It's impossible. You're definitely better off staying on the beach and picking a direction. It would be a strenuous, scorching hike, but you'd get to a house or something in at most probably 30km. There's also a lot of boats, so that gives you a decent chance too.
I had to stay one night in the amazon jungle, alone with no fire, no gear but my pocketknife. Being alive had never been so terrifying.
What year was this filmed? Love watching the lone survival experience when it's actually legit and not made to look like it is.
James Hall season 1 was 2005 i think. Mid 2000s for sure.
I guess you can't BEAR to watch something fake.
