that was a good story. i had one once i thought i was being chased in the woods when i would walk or run i could hear someone behind me. but when i would stop i couldnt hear or see anyone until i realized my small fishing pole had fallen out of my backpack and was dragging back about 20 yards. then i just felt stupid and was glad no one saw me
Great Story! A female moose bluff-charged me. There is no mistaking an angry moose. Their hair stands up on my their back and their eyes glare red. Thanks Les.
Les is one of the few non family members i have watched age since i was just a very young boy. Quite surreal, i learned so much from him throughout my life that he feels like family
believe me, you have not learned anything. Seriously don't go out there. You will die. You don't just learn things from tv. You think you do. but if you get tested, youdie.
Walked up on a cow moose giving BIRTH! Was putting my snowshoes in the same holes going back through a thicket & walked right up on her 5 ft away. Was TRANSFIXED watching that baby moose being born. (That Moose give birth laying down on her side) As soon as it was out of her she jumped up & came after me. One CAN run on snowshoes! I FLEW back out of that thicket & she stopped just before hitting the open swamps, looked back at her calf getting up on its wobbly legs & she returned to it & they left deeper into the thicket together. That calf was UP within a minute. Most amazing moose thing Ive ever seen & I saw a LOT living remote Alaskan bush for 27 years. Got treed lots of times. Moose ARE THE MOST dangerous critters in Alaska. Had one come after a huge open swamp after me one night from WAY across a valley. There was witches hair hainging from the trees everywhere so I balled it up on a stick & lit it just before the moose reached me. The FIRE kept it back a few feet but that damn thing followed me a mile til I got back to the cabin. Thank God there was lots of that witches hair growing all over as I had to keep pulling off more & adding it to the torch to keep that pissed off moose from stomping me. Was literally sticking the torch right under the mooses chin to keep it just feet away. Scary assed walk home that night!! Moose are both CRAZY & MEAN!! Not like BAMBI!!
Devin Taylor And the only people who like Les are those who can buy into his "Proof Big Foot is Real" claims. Both Les and Bear are making money off of gullible people who can't tell one reality TV bullshit style from the other's. Entertainment TV is not reality or real life. Maybe Big foot is Les's daddy,,, what do think?
living in eastern Canada, I would have to agree that bull moose in rut is just about the scariest animal ive ever come across. ive seen wild dogs, bear, mountain lion etc. they can all kill you. but you can usually read them, act accordingly, and get away. USUALLY. but a bull moose during the rut? 1200 plus pounds of sheer stupid rage. they may look goofy but a 1200 pound sexually frustrated and pissed off swamp donkey can ruin youre day real quick lol
I've been stalked and harassed by bear(s) that refused to leave me alone.. night after night or even in the day they would keep coming back. People say Black's are not much to worry about but i think they are like people with distinct personalities so you can get a bad one. Anyway when living in the bush for a couple months i was more worried about Cougars than i was the 2 or 3 bears that kept stalking me. If a cougar wants you you're screwed. You likely wouldn't see or hear it until it jumps on your back and bites your neck choking you out and pinning you to the ground.. as you watch it eating you with your last breath.
Les Stroud you are a great survivalist, your show was the one that people liked watching...it was real straight forward and practical....and you would insert some humor in your shows to show people to ease your mind and calm down so you can think clearly.....I loved survivorman
Les Stroud forever. Just hearing this story got my heart rate up. I went tree planting a few years ago and had two Moose storm by me as a fellow planter scared them from a neighbouring plot of land. I was 22, in the middle of University and thought my life was going to end at that moment up in Northern Ontario. Moose are beautiful and normally relatively docile creatures but terrifying when they become territorial. Les handled a situation that would have paralyzed most people by fear like a boss
Disney's Robin Hood Les Stroud and the bull moose Runnin' through the forest Les jumpin' bushes, dodgin' trees And tryin' to get away Regretin' his foolishness But escapin' and finally makin' it Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally Golly, what a day Oo-de-lally, Oo-de-lally Won't put that canoe so far awaaaay
I’ve watched from the beginning I absolutely love these commentaries on your adventures...take extra special care. Much respect for your teachings and thank you...
In Yellowstone on my honeymoon. All of the cars are parked and that always means game. It is the 3rd week of September. Down in a grassy plain with patches of trees. Right in the middle of one is a huge bull moose. All these people keep walking closer and closer trying to take pictures. There is another guy and I and we are backing up, and we are telling people to back off. He is going to come out of there and make you into mince meat. All of the tourists are shucking us off. This guy I am with says that he is going to wait and see who needs first aid as he is search and rescue. The bull paws the ground a couple of times and shakes his head. Then he bellars at the top of his lungs and comes charging out of the trees. These tourists were running everywhere, and the bull just turned his back and ran off. This guy I never met and I are sitting on the ground with tears rolling down our cheeks from laughing as it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.
bashfulbrother , Went through Yellowstone 2 years ago. Saw some idiot laughing as he honked his horn at a bison crossing the road. WASNT laughing when it pissed off the bison & it knocked his lil car into the ditch!! Caved in his front bumper & passenger side of his car! His wife was freikin climbing over the seat into the back away from the shattering windows! Bet he NEVER honks at another one!! 😁
Now that is hilarious... A moose in Yellowstone park was considered to be a myth at one point... Even some of the rangers didn't believe there was one in the park
When I was about 15, A friend and I were on the Clarksfork river in montana and we were treed by a cow moose with a calf...It was the scariest time I ever had...Lucky we had a tree we could get up or we would have been mush
The two stories I've heard him tell didn't have him actually seeing a bigfoot. And in neither one did he claim that it was actually a bigfoot. Just that it didn't sound like any other animal known to be in Alaska.
The story I heard was he saw a bigfoot fucking a moose, so he hid behind a bush and rubbed one out while he watched. Then darted back in the wilderness
I ran into a GIGANTIC CANADIAN MOOSE in the wild on a random island in Canada...it made horses look small. I was 13-14 years old..alone..and I was across the water from it..about 30-40 feet...it came out of the woods to drink..it was beautiful..I'll never forget it. Scary, but very cool.
A bull moose is no joke. Last time i went to Algonquin a bull challenged its reflection in my black cars paint job. Insurance declared the cost of repair more than the price of my three week old vibe. Total write off. Closest i can compare is a pitbull on meth but bigger than your car. He took out all windows and lights on one side in a single pass and moved the car three feet on the next. I fetaled under the steering wheel and took up primal screaming on the spot. I dont do northern Ontario in rutting season.
THAT is helarious!!! My husband are still laughing!!!! Thank you!!!! Now I want go know what you would have gotten, IF that moose would have successfully mated with your car??
Thanks for all your entertainment and sharing of survival information. Much appreciated Les. If only everyone had as much respect for this planet as you.
Mr Les Stroud is one of tne very best ever. He and I like Matt Graham as well. They both are incredible at what they do. Appreciate every time I see either if these 2 work in the wilderness. Great story Les, look forward to many more.
Thank you for that excellent story! I lived in Northern New Hampshire for many years(& I really miss it though I'm in Southern NH now). We have many moose and there's always a similar story like that every fall. Waking up to one looking in your window can make you wake right up! Jogging up there can be hazardous to your health if you meet up with one,which happened to my father. Getting chased back down a hill because a female moose doesn't like your motorcycle & ending up late for work was not my husband's favorite thing. So ya, I can total understand what you went through. Thanks again for that great story!
He must of said something really offensive in cow talk, because when he did it my girlfriend came into the room asking "what was that" and she had a really stern look on her face. True story.
Thanks! Really good story from a good storyteller. Happened something similar with me once.. Instead of moose & kayak it was wild boar & horse. That was a true “Fear for your life” experience and I’m highly surprised I didn’t sht in my pants at the critical moments.
Moose are freaking scary, scary animals any time of year let alone in rut. In a work camp in northern British Columbia there were two camps about 500 meters (yards for Americans) apart. I'd gone over to the other camp to drink with some friends and was staggering back at the last possible hour before dark fell and got chased by a moose. Fortunately there were a lot of trees spaced quite close together and moose with those hugely long legs don't corner well. I don't know how far it chased me since fear and my pounding heart drowned out any sound but I zigzagged between trees all the way to the bunkhouse and up the stairs and slammed the door behind me.
I understand this was a terrifying experience and I would have literally pissed myself and been traumatized BUT imagining what this must have looked and sounded like has me cackling.
I was fishing up Blodgett Creek in Bitterroot Valley, Montana when a baby moose appeared on the other side of the creek...my first thought: "Oh, shit, where is momma?"...Well, mom showed up and it went downhill from there. Scared? Damn right....anyone says they would not have been have been, have never entered the food chain of the Rockies.
HO-BOY!I I live on the other side of the river, and yup, we have a lot of moose, mice, meese, um whatever, even one is a whole lot of critter. They can be quiet and docile, until they decide not to be, and then you don't want to be around.
Great story,I had a cougar follow me and my bf up st.joe mountain years ago,all we could see was his Green eyes reflecting our flash light behind us. It was awesome!
@@Doxymeister Perhaps if we would have brought Dachshunds with us we could have offered him one...a snack I mean... LoL..naaa even though I can't deal with those dogs because their so stubborn I wouldn't offer one up. We had our lab with us and honestly I think it was looking at her. We kept her very close and inside our tent. They always attack from behind and that's where it stayed the entire night, so we knew what to do.
@@firebreather7739 ROFL, truth! Stubborn, opinionated, loud....but lovable and loyal! Yep, that very probably was what that big cat was after, humans are not normally on their menu, although a sick or elderly cougar likely wouldn't turn one down in a pinch. Glad you guys are okay!
Less I miss you brother, thank you for allowing me to follow your so matter of fact journeys. I feel like I’m hiding in your back pocket, but get to pop out now and then to watch. Never stop. You are what we need. Keep us connected.
My dad was bow hunting at our old house in pike, and a huge moose just walks up to him while he was sitting against a tree. This moose didn't care at all, it went right up to him and started like nuzzling up against his bow, and it would not leave him alone.
@@Dr0ctagonapus5 You can go with Todd. He invites people to see them themselves or you can go camping so deep in the forest. Check out his videos and email. Maybe to one of them places that begins with Devil's pass, demon's trail, dead man's pass. They are named that for a reason. Good luck, hopefully you will see a Dogman as well.
I am on disability, told I'll NEVER be able to work again. Point being, I am really poor, and I have ALWAYS wanted to learn survivalist skills from a pro. Like a weekend workshop or something. If anyone ever wants to include me, invite me, etc to one of these I would deeply be indebted to you. These things cost an arm and a leg for someone with my monthly income. I live in southern Illinois, nothing like this exists around here. Maybe one day. I'll keep praying. Great story by the way.
I mean, I knew they were massive, but it never really sank in till I was at a bar in the Northwoods and just like "HOLY FUCK, from neck base to eyes is like 2.5ft, and prolly 3ft around at the base of the neck". And the fucker had a smaller sized rack!
I always enjoy your wilderness shows Les. I can feel for the fear you must have been going thru. Here is a little adventure that happened to me on the day Mt St Helens blew off. I had been working on the new construction of a power plant in Boardman Oregon and took a chance on a raffle ticket for a Jeep Wagoner and to my surprise I win the Jeep . So now I have this red Wagoner and it is the week before Mt St Helens goes off. I register the jeep and go to Wenatchee Wa. . the apple capital of Wa. It was the weekend and I did not have work that day .I was climbing the mountain or giant hill what ever you would call it and it is unbelievably steep with the Jeep. The trail road is pretty narrow and I guess I am half way up the mountain and I remember looking off the side of the mountain and remarking to myself how steep this hill is when this flash goes flying past the front of the Jeep . It was a about a 10 ft tall Moose , gigantic , if it hit the jeep it would have gone tumbling down the mountain but it missed by about a foot .At that time I decided to turn around and go back down the mountain as that was just too crazy and maybe it was time to end my adventure for that day.When I get to the bottom of the mountain and come to this convenience store I notice these black rings around the eyes of some bikers , chopper motorcycles that had come into the store parking lot . I got out and went into the store to find out that Mt St Helens had just gone off. As you know , confronting a Moose in the wild can be a terrifying moment. It is best to stay clear of them.
Stan Stanlison Indeed hippos do have the highest kill rate in Africa but that's only because the gun toting squirrels are exceedingly good at covering up their crimes.
I love Canadians. They are good neighbors. Mexico could learn a thing or two from them. They are welcome anytime to the ole south. Les Stroud is the real deal.
+Bombasticbuster Mexicans would be better neighbors to you if you hadn't treated them like shit for so long. You invaded, enslaved, and stole land from Mexico. Why should they be good neighbors when they live next to such assholes?
Davis Mavis Far enough? We're only talking a few generations up the family tree here - it really wasn't that long ago. Cultural shockwaves are well known to last generations. The effects of war, slavery, famine, drought - they're felt for a long time after the actual problem goes away.
The Zee Group - Every single one of our ancestors did. Society has detached us so far from reality. I live in the woods, and I'll NEVER leave again. 12 deer out my bedroom window eating right now actually. Haha
toulouse666 , ABSOLUTLY!! Jan/I forsook the easy city life to go Bush Alaska. 27 years of the most backbreaking, hard labor, constant danger things anybody could do & TOTALLY WORTH IT!! NO REGRETS except getting old. Figure I will wind up as a pile of BEAR shit someday but turn about is fairplay. God knows weve eatin our fair share of them!! Be better than winding up helpless in some damn nursing home unable to wipe my own ass. Life is to be LIVED!!
Why cant people just take tv for what it is and thank the performers for a good show, at least he is entertaining, everyone already knows that 99.99 of these survival shows are all show, TV . Its entertainment., by the way Les is also a excellent harmonica player and musician.
4:22, I'm up a tree, shaking like a leaf.

I was at least hoping he might some kind of paranormal story from all his time alone in the bush!
Rite the recommended are out of control
Bigfoot is boring.

Moose are not afraid of water. They are actually very effective swimmers. Interesting story Les.
At 9ft tall, little swimming needed!

LoL..naaa even though I can't deal with those dogs because their so stubborn I wouldn't offer one up. We had our lab with us and honestly I think it was looking at her. We kept her very close and inside our tent. They always attack from behind and that's where it stayed the entire night, so we knew what to do.
@@firebreather7739 ROFL, truth! Stubborn, opinionated, loud....but lovable and loyal! Yep, that very probably was what that big cat was after, humans are not normally on their menu, although a sick or elderly cougar likely wouldn't turn one down in a pinch. Glad you guys are okay!
Less I miss you brother, thank you for allowing me to follow your so matter of fact journeys. I feel like I’m hiding in your back pocket, but get to pop out now and then to watch. Never stop. You are what we need. Keep us connected.
Always good to hear what your sayin Les,thanks for sharing!!
Love this guy.
Grills is a joke. Running around like a kid in a school yard, so unsafe!!! Les is the Man!!!
My dad was bow hunting at our old house in pike, and a huge moose just walks up to him while he was sitting against a tree. This moose didn't care at all, it went right up to him and started like nuzzling up against his bow, and it would not leave him alone.
Sube Tube too cute
Wow! Amazing.
Thank you
Awesome story!!!😊
Can I assume this WAS only his "best" story BEFORE his Bigfoot experience?
@T D I think you're confusing him with Todd Standing. Les Stroud never claimed to have recorded a sasquatch.
@T D "real folks" are fucking retards
@@Dr0ctagonapus5 You can go with Todd. He invites people to see them themselves or you can go camping so deep in the forest. Check out his videos and email. Maybe to one of them places that begins with Devil's pass, demon's trail, dead man's pass. They are named that for a reason. Good luck, hopefully you will see a Dogman as well.
ThoughtWave64 Yes!
I think so, an this guy is full of him self
I had the same thing happen to me once when I was glamping only it was a field mouse and let me tell you that was scary
Love this guy...
Miss your show Les.
AM I THE ONLY ONE, WHO WAS HOPING, HIS STORY WAS GOING TO BE OF BIGFOOT ?
He does have a story about hearing an ape call in the middle of nowhere in the Pacific northwest
naturally he does ;)
hhhk20 well someone isn’t fun
@hhhk20 prove it
you can't deny or confirm such a fact. you are the dumb ass
The good news is you're really good at moose calls
Great story!
I am on disability, told I'll NEVER be able to work again. Point being, I am really poor, and I have ALWAYS wanted to learn survivalist skills from a pro. Like a weekend workshop or something. If anyone ever wants to include me, invite me, etc to one of these I would deeply be indebted to you. These things cost an arm and a leg for someone with my monthly income. I live in southern Illinois, nothing like this exists around here. Maybe one day. I'll keep praying. Great story by the way.
Moose are so damned big. Just their head along is like 3 feet in length from chin to the top of their forehead. I'm convinced they're aliens.
+Dave I have a mounted bull moose head hanging on my wall and yes they are huge.
ha ha yes they need heads like those to hold some 20+ kg of antlers
redradiodog what? u mounted a bull moose and he gave u head while you hung on your wall? WTF??
Dave I think they're mega fauna that survived the ice age.
I mean, I knew they were massive, but it never really sank in till I was at a bar in the Northwoods and just like "HOLY FUCK, from neck base to eyes is like 2.5ft, and prolly 3ft around at the base of the neck". And the fucker had a smaller sized rack!
Going into the woods without being VERY HEAVILY ARMED is NOT a good idea!!! Les has balls & guts...... There are dangerous beasts in the woods ....
Algonquin Provincial Park - No firearms - period.
That was surviving....glad u made it to tell us..... beautiful story telling
love this story
Les Stroud what happened to your shows!!!!! Hope you'll make some more...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
My best story is that I was climbing a tree in a woods and I got my thigh stuck between a branch and the trunk
Great and believable story. One of the experiences that made him better as a survivalists
I always enjoy your wilderness shows Les. I can feel for the fear you must have been going thru. Here is a little adventure that happened to me on the day Mt St Helens blew off. I had been working on the new construction of a power plant in Boardman Oregon and took a chance on a raffle ticket for a Jeep Wagoner and to my surprise I win the Jeep . So now I have this red Wagoner and it is the week before Mt St Helens goes off. I register the jeep and go to Wenatchee Wa. . the apple capital of Wa. It was the weekend and I did not have work that day .I was climbing the mountain or giant hill what ever you would call it and it is unbelievably steep with the Jeep. The trail road is pretty narrow and I guess I am half way up the mountain and I remember looking off the side of the mountain and remarking to myself how steep this hill is when this flash goes flying past the front of the Jeep . It was a about a 10 ft tall Moose , gigantic , if it hit the jeep it would have gone tumbling down the mountain but it missed by about a foot .At that time I decided to turn around and go back down the mountain as that was just too crazy and maybe it was time to end my adventure for that day.When I get to the bottom of the mountain and come to this convenience store I notice these black rings around the eyes of some bikers , chopper motorcycles that had come into the store parking lot . I got out and went into the store to find out that Mt St Helens had just gone off. As you know , confronting a Moose in the wild can be a terrifying moment. It is best to stay clear of them.
"The most dangerous animal out there is a moose" or a squirrel with a shotgun.
***** or hillbillies that think you got a purty mouth. lol
mike patrick Yep, that one definately goes on the list.
mike patrick Well more than likely one I think would be safe in that scenario as long as no banjos are playing.
+Wordsmith Gobshite ummm.... hippo?
Stan Stanlison Indeed hippos do have the highest kill rate in Africa but that's only because the gun toting squirrels are exceedingly good at covering up their crimes.
Turns out the land speed record belongs to Les Stroud.
no human can outrun a moose , especially over aprox 700 yards , mmmm
@@watchman7771 whoosh
Great story! Glad you made it safe ❤
"Hey remember that one time I hung out for 7 days till a helicopter picked me up?" Yes Les, that's every episode. lol
So handsome
By far you earned the tiile,survivalman i learned so much from you sir i always considered you the top man of the game
so cool story!! thx!
most dangerous animal is a Dachshund when you take away the squeaky toy to try and sleep.
Lmao
Or a chicken finger , they'll fight a tiger over a chicken finger .
Should have played you harmonica
@Trent, ...and don't you forget it, buddy!
This story made me laugh so hard I dropped my coffee, All I could think of was the Roadrunner..beep-beep! Good one Les!
great story thanks
Great Story. He made the one call that Bull was waiting to hear!
I love Canadians. They are good neighbors. Mexico could learn a thing or two from them. They are welcome anytime to the ole south. Les Stroud is the real deal.
+Bombasticbuster Mexicans would be better neighbors to you if you hadn't treated them like shit for so long. You invaded, enslaved, and stole land from Mexico. Why should they be good neighbors when they live next to such assholes?
+Jex134 Great question
+Jex134 Better Neighbors?
Stole Land?
Get real.
+Jex134 Everyone stole land if you go back far enough. Let's focus on current relations.
Davis Mavis
Far enough? We're only talking a few generations up the family tree here - it really wasn't that long ago. Cultural shockwaves are well known to last generations. The effects of war, slavery, famine, drought - they're felt for a long time after the actual problem goes away.
The lesson of the story never hit on a Moose's date.
Hilarious. ...he was pretty smart not to do the bull call. Hahaha
Bwah hahaha!😂
Bernadine Tammarine yea. He would have been a goner then!
Love Les Stroud ! Survivorman Bigfoot episodes were the Best !!
Love ❤️ it! Shared
I think I'm gonna holler at this moose during rut. Hold my beer.
Well, boogars! I thought this was going to be about his first BF encounter. :o(
Less, your right. One of your Best!
It takes a certain kind of crazy to walk deep in the forest all alone
The Zee Group - Every single one of our ancestors did. Society has detached us so far from reality.
I live in the woods, and I'll NEVER leave again. 12 deer out my bedroom window eating right now actually. Haha
Denzel 'My Nigga' Washington My nigga!
@@Denzel_Watchington I PRAY to be able to one day....soon preferably lol if only.
@toulouse666 it's in the works 😊
toulouse666 , ABSOLUTLY!! Jan/I forsook the easy city life to go Bush Alaska. 27 years of the most backbreaking, hard labor, constant danger things anybody could do & TOTALLY WORTH IT!! NO REGRETS except getting old. Figure I will wind up as a pile of BEAR shit someday but turn about is fairplay. God knows weve eatin our fair share of them!! Be better than winding up helpless in some damn nursing home unable to wipe my own ass. Life is to be LIVED!!
Why cant people just take tv for what it is and thank the performers for a good show, at least he is entertaining, everyone already knows that 99.99 of these survival shows are all show, TV . Its entertainment., by the way Les is also a excellent harmonica player and musician.
Yeah but Les isn't like the other bullshitter survivalists... he ACTUALLY goes it alone....... And I don't doubt this story.
Rex Anger he’s bullshit or perhaps moose shit.
upplsuckimcool16 he’s alone except for the camera guy with a 45!
Les Rules!!!! 🏕
