To think, he did all of this before go pros. Legend.
How did I not think of that before
Legend is right, On those long shots of him leaving an area he had to double back and pick up the camera, all for a cool looking shot, while starving and exhausted.
He used gopros quite much :)
@@OutdoorswithJussi Way later, I'm talking these early seasons with these big cameras.
Why didn't he mention the bigfoot encounter when he was making his bed he said Joe roagn show that he heard a loud noise in the Bush then heard what sounded like a great ape
So happy these are being uploaded. I used to catch them on TV all the time in the early '00s as a child. Now that I'm an adult I spend all my free time in the woods.
Its a lot of fun. In the winters when it is too cold for camping I start to really miss spending time in the outdoors for days.
I can tell ur old cause you said “I used to catch them on tv”
@@whitty9027 way back when people had cable
Exactly the same for me. Les is one of the only men that actually go out and survive on his own. So cool
all your free time but you're on youtube...
My first time watching this episode, my wife and I had just experienced a miscarriage, and I was in a terrible state of mind. The “as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by the multitude of jumping salmon on either side of my kayak” line made me absolutely cry laughing. And that was my first time laughing in a few weeks. Thank you for that Les.
I hope you are your family are all doing well. From the bottom of my heart, stay strong and chin up! Keep faith and much love
@@BigBenSmokes thanks we are doing much better. We have had 4 wonderful kids since that day.
@@charlottejay136 What a blessing!! Congratulations!
Great show 😊.
Man vs wild was cool...but not very realistic. Survivorman was much more down to earth.
Bear Grylls was ex special forces...the average person won't take the risks he took on man vs wild.
Les stroud ..no cameraman....nobody with him...uses what he finds along the way. Like the average person in a dire situation. Bring this show back !
I am so glad to hear you are doing better!!!
I am a fifth grade teacher and assigned an informative writing assignment. One of my students wanted to write about outdoor survival. I recommended some of your videos to him and he loves them. I am really looking forward to reading his assignment. I also appreciate how you keep your videos clean so that students can learn from them.
I wish I had more teachers like, you are the reason why us messed up kids had a chance. Thank you..much love.
if there was a curse word in there they wouldnt learn anything
more like it wouldn't be allowed/could cause overly sensitive parents to lash out at the teacher. sometimes the reason is outside the scope of your own preconceived notions@@scalz420
Its so sad. One cuss word can get a teacher into a lot of trouble or even fired. Ive had some great videos but couldnt show them. A friend recently showed me how to edit out cuss words. Teaching is great yet the system we answer to is broken.@@scalz420
Really. Please enlighten me on your vast experience in teaching. Where did you teach? How many students did you teach? How many years did you teach? Facts only...not your opinion. Time to put up or shut up.@JoeFarrier-ft3hy
Man that intro. The nostalgia from the old days, sitting in my living every Sunday just waiting for these to come on discovery channel. What a legend to this day! Forever a fan!
It’s 2024 and this is still the GOAT of survival shows
There's probably no greater feeling than knowing that you taught someone something through watching this show that saved their life in a survival situation
Better yet to know you turned a lot of people onto the outdoors.👍
The feeling the moment you realise you won the lottery might feel a bit better.
Warm wet giner meat (.)😄
He has saved zero peoples lives. That I can guarantee
Or at least taught people to bring the right equipment. A steel bottle and a multitool are essential.
When I was a kid watching Les I was amazed. As a adult now, it is even more amazing.
Don't keep kickin yourself you haven't had the sleep you need and food then you'll be aware more,but you know that haha just a mistake we all do it haha
you are the reason that everytime I go out kayaking I always bring like half a case of water, jerky/sausage, a lighter and a portable battery for my phone.
What phone do you use?
@@chinmaywalinjkar7340 google pixel 3xl why?
@@TONOCLAY how do you carry spare battery of pixel?
@@chinmaywalinjkar7340 portable battery bank. Holds like enough charge to charge my phone like 3 times. Has multiple usb slots
I keep a box of granolas, a case of water and a throwaway phone or two in a break in through case in mine. Along with some tools and small fishing tackle. Just cause of him. Legend. I used to watch him instead of the cartoons and be so excited every time I saw survivorman. he was more like the forest daddy we didn’t have 😂😂
No wonder all of Les’ videos are free look at the way of the world. He’s saving more than one life.
i love his reaction when he eats, it makes me hungry every time
so in my culture its a huge blessing to see an eagle fly overhead of you its said to be a sign of the great spirits acknowledging your journey and giving their respect and blessing they watch over you and keep you safe so i like to think that Les was blessed that day when he saw the eagle and shared his respect for it and in turn the universe made way for that same eagle to leave some of his own meal to help Les along his journey. and i think thats also why Les finds himself in "lucky" situations or has those moments where you might think its staged but really he just has so much respect for the world around him and the power of mother nature that hes got what most people would call really good karma and this is just the universes way of balancing cuz hes out here risking his life to tell an amazing story and bring us amazing content so he really deserves every bit of luck and divine tidings that comes his way
Thanks for sharing this, my friend. Funny enough, I actually secured a job in Alaska that I'll be starting next month. Back in January it was a done deal that I'd be getting the job but I was still working my old gig. One day I was overcome with a deep feeling that it was finally time to quit after five years of being with them. Right then and there, while on a job site, I told the crew I was leaving and drove away. About a minute after driving out I saw a bald eagle flying directly over my car. I couldn't help but take it as a sign from the universe. Now I'm watching Les in Alaska and I see your comment. Much love brother, take care out there.
You can’t go an hour without seeing a bald eagle in the alaskan wilderness lol
This is the only channel I watch all the ads for not only does it remind me of when it was on TV I genuinely think Les deserves every penny
I agree but I think as long as the add comes up even the 5 seconds is enough to monetize the video
that's why I don't go paid UA-cam. Give guys like these a few extra pennies.
@@ourladyofguadalupebotanica6732 not because you dont wanna pay? haha
Gotta get that UA-cam premium it's worth it, I us forget UA-cam have ads
I dont disagree with this, i like my youtube paid but im all for helpin the creators!
Altho i think YTP is worth it, for the downloads factor alone.
I’ve started watching this again after years and now I just want to move to the woods lol 😂
You can really find yourself in the woods alone for expended periods of time
Lol Me too!!
He’s done a few cool episodes too where he explores areas that are hotbeds for people disappearing and having unexplainable experiences. It’s super neat, I forget the name though but I watched a few on UA-cam so they are here. He bases his search off Missing-411 in one of them and that’s a book series by an ex cop who gathers all the disappearances and the police reports and eyewitness stories and it’s super interesting. There are 3-4 forest areas in the USA some that are absolutely filled with missing people with crazy stories. Sorry for the rant haha
My favorite part of this show is always the building of a shelter and also watching the whole “how will he make a fire this time”.
I appreciate that he tries to come up with different ways of doing both. That way it doesn’t get boring AND you learn multiple possible ways of getting these important things done.
I love when he's all settled down, and he breaks out the harmonica
When does he eat
@@paulwilliams8555 he doesnt
My favorite part is when he is full of shit. And that's all the time so yay
@@NPC-157-e7r wtf?
Who remembers being a kid watching this? BEST MEMORIESSSSS
I would watch and go play in the woods after
I love how in each episode, Les always brings along some random survival tool like the fire piston, and shows us how to use it/ how it works! Thank you for your incredible expertise, Les!
"sunshine fills the soul, but not the stomach" that was poetic
It’s cool watching an episode filmed in a place that you actually live.
" sunshine fills the soul but not the stomach."
Les, i honestly think you have lived more than any other man i know of, a true inspiration. When youre old and ready to pass on, surrounded by those you love and who love you, i wonder which paradise you will be in
"paradise" lol, he will be dead and that's all folks.
The absolute goat of bushcraft, surviving in the wild survivor man. I’ve watched all these episodes at least 30 times a piece. Every episode is great. Salute to u Les
I'm 35, when I first started watching these i didn't appreciate the context of how beautiful the whole experience truly is. I re-watch every episode and soak in everything about the show. Thank you Les!
Man oh man. Did I absorbed your series thru and thru when they were first performed. You made me to practise my survival skills back in the years. Thank you for these.
I feel this even back when I was a young buck in the woods with my friends building shelter acting like we been there for weeks!😂😭
Les is the man for putting these on UA-cam for free!!
AMEN ❤❤❤❤USA
Les Stroud is the best survivor man on this planet. I would want him leading my group if ever an apocalypse.
Les- you were definitely born different. I've learned so much from watching your videos for the last decade or more. I appreciate it man you're awesome
Best survival show ever. Thanks again Les
You got me into the outdoors as a kid. Everything from the filming, music and reality of your show. If it wasn’t for you I probably wouldn’t be backpacking, kayaking camping or anything else. Thanks Les, you’re the man.
@JoeFarrier-ft3hy He might be and just chooses not to reply to 5000 comments. Besides, you read it and took the time to write a smart-@ss comment, so the joke's on you child 😂😂 lmfao
@JoeFarrier-ft3hy No hables jibberish
23:43 Watching these has been great, but I find it easy to forget that in filming himself, he has to repeat so many things and frequently pause to adjust cameras. That's so much work! Then I forget again. Then I'm impressed again! It goes on like this...
Did all this before Go-Pro's! Legend
34:39 me when I found your UA-cam uploads.
I hate that this made me laugh
Been watching him work for over 20 years. I have learned and taught so much from this man!
"This may be a DEWable night"! Had me laughing a long time.
I have always loved your shows. No over the top BS for viewers like some other shows. I have learned so much from you. My wife started watching naked & afraid, and enjoys limited learning opportunities on that show. I have gotten her into watching your shows because you have so much more actual survival content.
One of my favorite episodes. I have watched it 100’s of times over the years. It’s freaking golden every time. Nothing but total respect for Les for many years.
One of my childhood heroes. My love for the outdoors was fueled by watching Les Stroud's Tv show
39:30 - 40:18 min. The salmon playing games with les. Like cant catch me..catch me if you can...
Jumping out the water like a dolphin.
Salmon -1
Les- 0
LOL at Les thinking that any self respecting salmon would take that "bait" on that "hook" and then he'd somehow pull it in. Lmao a pipe dream at best.
Going to Seward for summer fishing was always my favorite childhood memory of growing up there. ❤️
Broke your piece! Welcome to flint knapping. Glad to see you included the skill in a episode.
I'm sooo thankful for these videos, I'm learning tons of survival and he's a very humble, likeable person. I'm enjoying every bit of what I see although I feel for him in his ordeals of course
Absolutely love this show and mad respect Les. I watched all these as a kid and at one point after reading "My side of the mountain" I wanted to run off to live in the woods, and your show did not help me with that desire hahaha. Anyways I love the part when you said Alaska is so large that it could fit the 21 smallest states inside it. See as a kid I knew it was big but because of the maps I'd seen I didn't quite understand it till a few years later when my friend told me Alaska was bigger then Texas and I showed him the map and told him maybe sure doesn't look bigger. And he showed me this geography book he had and showed me a realistic interpretation of the world map, blew my young mind, I must have been like 10-11yo. I need to go there someday, I remember going to the coast in Oregon and Washington and it was strange seeing the rainforest there, like the ice cold ocean would literally give you a brain freeze like when you eat too much ice cream to fast, but then you'd see rain come in and the rain would feel warm on your skin and clouds of mist would roll down the mountainside to the sea. Spectacular. That was almost 15 years ago and I remember ever part of it all the sensations I felt.
I love Les, but it makes me laugh when the Canadian comes out.
lol when is his "Canadian" *not* out? ;-P
Sometimes when he says "aboot" and "you betcha!". Tickles the old funny bone.
"That's frustrating." Canadian for "Fuuuuck!!!"
Yes..eh.
comes oot!! lol yeah its groovy
Les: I got this huge glass bottle! Lemme make a fishhook
Also Les: Imma carry my water in this thin paddle handle
Literally i was thinking the same
thanks. I missed the show. My favorite parts from Survivorman all have to do with fishing and collecting edibles
nothing better than fishing and taking edibles
Agreed!
@@chrissalvisburg7496 XD
Les Stroud is soo knowledgeable when it comes to extreme survival.
I love the fire piston, I always carry one along with a lighter, along with gear that will keep me alive if I end up in a bad situation.
I love the wilderness here in AK so very much!
The weather here goes from clear sunny, to white out, windy and cold ASAP!
There are warnings mother nature gives before she unleashes her wrath.
People who approach any wilderness with "ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN TO ME" attitude you never hear from again.
At my last job (ranger) we had to camp out in tents during the winter. We'd survive the night by putting boiling water into plastic bottles and then putting them into our sleeping bags. It was efficient because in the morning you had safe, drinking water to enjoy! (Or you could reheat the water for the next night). We also had stones that we'd heat up as well. It's important to not use a gas heater in tents because of the confined space you can become poisoned. Oh, also if you have a tent, don't put it under a tree with dead upper limbs as those are called 'widow makers' by rangers. Because they can fall off with only a slight breeze and crush you while you sleep (making your spouse a widow). Always best to camp out in a small clearing. And if you HAVE TO camp under trees (dense forest), make sure the tree above you is as healthy as possible with no dead limbs ideally.
boiling water in plastic is drinking cancer water basically
@@dogwater290 eh its safe to do a couple times. the water in the bottle protects the plastic from melting and releasing PFA's. possible cancer down the road beats death by dehydration currently
@@DuesImperator no it doesn't lmao.
@@dogwater290 I was about to say, I wouldn't drink hot plastic-ridden water if my life depended on it.
@@A-A-RonDavis2470 you already have plastic in your body
Thank you for coming back Les.
You should do another series of survivorman! three seasons is not enough!
Has has done 7 (8 including Bigfoot), they are all on his store! Just search Survivorman store and it will pop up! Also, seasons 1-4 are website editions where there are all directors cut (I know seasons 2-3 and some of S1 for sure), then season 5-6 one Les’ site is the only place you can get it on DVD (or blu-ray for S5), and S7 is all 4 Survivorman and Son episodes!
@@landonmillwood180 LMAO. Bigfoot. I can't believe that he resorted to that.
@@JokersWild70 he did Bigfoot or 1 season. Which aired after season 5 and before season 6. It got him a ton of new fans. You should definitely watch episode 6 on his directer’s commentary. You would see they he doesn’t know if they are real or not.
@@landonmillwood180 Sure. I would imagine that it got him some huge ratings among the Bigfoot fans, but just not a subject that I believe in or am interested in.
@@JokersWild70 ok that is fine, I am not a big fan of it however it is interesting. He even said if you don’t like it you don’t have to watch it. It is fine with him!
I 🖤 Alaska. I’ve mushed dogs in -30 & hiked solo through grizzly territory. Its beauty is like no other.
Thank u Les Stroud for doing the UA-cam thing! I have watched everything u have put out from the jump and happily watch it all over again good on u sir and please keep rockin brother!!!
If I was ever lost in the woods,this is the man I would want to be lost with.
Born and raised Alaskan. I LOVE seward. It’s a must go location for residents and tourists. Peaceful and beautiful. It has claimed many people.
I use to watch this show all the time! So happy to see the seasons uploaded on UA-cam! This show is awesome!
Gorgeous scenes! Very lonely 6 days. Was that plantain you passed up for the tender leafy lettuce-like plant? Setting up a ground cover would have been my first move to avoid a chill at night. But 9f course shelter was very important too. I am surprised with all that net a sein net capture of those salmon wouldn't have paid off! Thank you for your sharing this experience with your sacrifice to show how truely hard it is out there!
So glad I was able to find these. Les is the man.... someone who depicted REAL survival techniques instead of stupid students others would perform before retiring to a comfortable camp or Holiday Inn....
"this should be a dew-able night" hahaha
I never leave home without four things a multi-tool, a fixed blade knife, a leather belt and a fire starter. You never know when you might need them! I have been watching your show since i was in high school and many of the things i have used i learned from watching you. Thanks Les!
Seward Alaska is beautiful! I'm moving back up there in a month. Thank you Les for all the skills and lessons you have given, I can't wait to try this out. You are the man!
I grew up watching this show and I’m rewatching it now for the calm nature and nostalgia! It’s so calm I use to watch it every night to fall asleep because of his calming voice/nature!
You can fix up that blue container with fire and some plastic, you can melted and patch up those holes. Can carry a lot of water.
Not very many people that have all my respect. This man right here does, and I have never met him. Definitely on my bucket list top 10 to meet him. A survival trip would be unbelievable!!! 😎🤘🏻
These are so great. I loved this show back in the day. Thank you for uploading these and for being a living legend, Mr. Stroud!
About 2 years ago I was on a deployment in the Phillipines for the US Marines. We where just waiting around and I saw these leaves and thought, "Hold up, these look familiar." Started chewing on them, then BAM nutrition. Turns out they where these same leaves from an episode of Survior Man I watched way back when I was probably like 6 years old. It didn't save my life or anything but it was something amazing I could show off to my boys. Thank you for the knowledge Les, it's incredible how something so trivial yet life saving could be taught and remembered many years later.
you would think that in a place as remote as this, finding trash would be harder than finding gold. but it's near heartbreaking that he was able to find some @17:19....incredible
It's not that surprising. He's on the coast around Seward, AK. Off shore from a major shipping lane. Also lots of cruise ships and boat tours in the area.
Les has said many times, he has been to most remote beaches/places in the world, and has never been to one without trash littering the beaches.
I've been watching you from the beginning and it's amazing to be able to rewatch all these old episodes and pick up on stuff that I missed
Yep, when I watched these on cable back when they were on I was 18-20 so watching now I get a lot more from them it’s pretty neat.
Learned so much from your shows, Les. Thanks so much for all that you continue to do. Hope you and the family are well.
Super big thanks for posting these, Les. I haven't had a TV/Netflix/Hulu or whatever for years and forgot how much I enjoyed the Survivorman series. I'm excited to see what you are cooking up now.
Man, maybe it's past the prime time to do it, but I would LOVE to see Les do a survival thing like thing where he is a bit better equipped, and doesn't have to spend half his time filming everything. It's perfect survival, but I would love to see a series where Les thrives out there. Kind of like on that show 'Alone', let him take 10 items and see how he demolishes it.
Sound like a great idea!
Tom R Hell, sign him up for Alone
He'd break the record without breaking a sweat
I always wanted to see him stay at the drop off point and wait for his crew to pick him up
Soooo.... unofficially les stroud has to be the first vlogger
21:50 thank goodness for that water jug that magically appeared out of the bushes in the middle of the night while you wake to almost being on fire! When all day you said you wish you had a water container...🤣 nice job Lester! Alaska is breathtaking! I’ve been to Petersburg southeast AL. Also rainforest. Trip of a lifetime!
I've learned so much from each and every episode wow. What he said about keeping your mind together and positive It's vitally important. Not panicking and thinking out clearly. I love what you said about being lucky..... All fishermen know that.
Beautiful scenery, I bet Russia regrets selling Alaska to the US.
Not to mention the oil wealth that's present there.
Oh you becha they do
Especially after the cold war
Ya think? Hahah probs woulda been a much colder war if they had.
“Sit here and let the tide come in…….” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dying over here
The man. The myth. The Legend
The GOAT
i'm not gonna lie. i laughed so hard when he smashed the bottle 28:53 shortly after saying "its kinda a hike to get some water."
It's nice to see all of these episodes again. Its been a long time
Les and his dead-pan humor...Gotta luv it!
Brave man cooking that fish where you sleep. Great vids Les. Keep it up!
Says thats the eaten at fish wasn't "set up" like it was a luxury lol. The dedication and knowledge is real. So much respect !
My absolute FAVORITE episode!!!!
I waited for each week's episode like they were "Live" & I was going to miss something! It was a magical time!
Sir is a true legend. I would really love to see him do just one more. Somewhere awesome or breathtaking or anything. Just please give us favor fans ONE MORE VIDEO PLEASE ✊👍🙏
On Everest no oxygen
Robert ... Well, he died while filming something like what you were suggesting. Thanks, Mr. Nicola ... really thank you ...
@@PoeLemic if you're suggesting les Stroud is dead delete your comment and go lay down in traffic
It’s great to see the show again. My son and I are big fans and loved watching this one (probably again). Thanks Les.
Man these episodes bring me way back.....high school days even. I know what im doing for the rest of the day.
Used to watch these on tv when I was ten. Man this brings back good times
Your an absolute legend I've learned so much by watching your videos! Thank you
you could easily and quickly build a tide pool and catch all sorts of sea life. it works over and over without much maintenance and repair!
Such a place! Such a challenge to find sustenance! Gorgeous work showing a bitter reality! Thank you for this!
Alaska is quite beautiful
I watch your videos every night before I rest. I consider it study work and relaxation mixed.
The “catch and cook” youtubers are all your children .
Mesmo 👌🏼👌🏼
Timeless and still relevant. Original youtuber concept way before UA-cam and without the merits.
Remember watching this as a kid
Youre still a kid so bugger off
The torture that Les subjected himself to for the sake of the video is admirable.
Half eaten shoe of previous traveler, "Not a good omen". Pretty casual.
Plus, putting a fire INSIDE a driftwood structure. First thing I thought of when you did that and "sure enough".
No bueno for sure 😬
I lived remotely in PWS for 6years AK is a beautiful place...ty LES for pictures
at low tide you missed out on shellfish,clams,eel&sometimes octopus
Yooooo thanks for uploading these. I loved this show as a kid. Still do.
its just insane to me. The few second shot at 5:02 he had to set everything up, get out, paddle a bit, turn around to retrieve everything and then start paddling again. So much work
thank you for keeping these on youtube i watch them all the time
Les; you da man!! I always can calm my soul by watching your content. Still waiting on you to call and have me over for 4 day old rotting fish. lol. Be well, friend I've never met.
After all these many years of watching... I just noticed at 45:19 that there's a "hair" person on the production team? Made me smile. From Tokyo
He had me when ranking Jeremiah Johnson as his favorite Hollywood survival film. (Saw it at 13. Been smitten ever since.)
Hands-down the most complete modern American outdoorsman of the modern age!
smitten is a gay word
@@tombob1469 he’s Canadian
