But I’ve also been deep in the Amazon on week long fishing adventure. It’s worse. It’s not just the mosquitos, literally everything is trying to bite you. If it’s got wings or legs, it bites.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

      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

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.

    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!!)
