Les stroud is the man, not only did his show always feel like the genuine one when it was on TV but he has released them all for free on TH-cam. You will have a great legacy my friend.
Broooo 2024 when i was a kid in 2008 i liked a lot youir program and now im remembering this moments and i only can say thank u for everything what i learn from u
I am a long time viewer (started watching in late '07) I learned a lot about dry tinder when I first started watching the show. I even helped my friends start a fire.
Honestly I was just thinking the same thing yesterday while watching the show, he is the Bob Ross of survival. Honest and the 1 on 1 time with the cameras is very calming and personable.
Les is a great actor even though hes lying about being in there for 1 week. It only takes them 1 day of shooting to act out the scenes for the episode.
@@kether800surely pretending after watching multiple sunsets and sunrises. He did do 7,10,14 days episodes, even here in Canada you can’t fake survival for one day.
That's because he was the main cameraman! Especially when he was on his own in the survival environment. The editors could not spoil the show with constant feedback to spice it up for TV.
The sheer dedication this man has for filming in various angles is amazing to me. The shots of him in the water were only possible by him getting to that spot from the raft, set up the camera(s) and then go far back enough to be seen paddling back to shore... Les, my man, you are a legend.
For real, like at the end when he filmed himself dragging his raft over the debris to continue down river. He really added another layer of tedious on top of that for us.
@@skb7261 no he doesn’t. All these episodes Les posts aren’t current either, I watched this when I was like 12. He sets up all his own cameras and shots, zero crew, this guy isn’t bear grylls.
This guy is leagues above bear grillz and his fake survival aka hotel stays and dual survival where stuff magically appears for them at perfect spots this guy is the real deal and I respect him and his craft
And some people can't accept that 😭 Les is just better at survival. While Bear had a great background in the military, He had a whole script behind him
It’s comparing apples and oranges. They’re two different styles. Les teaches about real survival, and Grylls is a highly skilled survivalist who is really only interested in extreme situations and entertainment value. Both have their place.
Keep in mind he’s setting up and carrying all his camera gear and still kills it survival wise…With no cameras I’m sure most of these would be a walk in the park for Les..By far my favorite survival series.
As a Georgia native, this has to be my favorite episode. I hail from the piedmont area, not as far south as this, but so much of what Les covers here is useful throughout the South, not just the swamps. With snakes, gators, and even bear, a general rule of thumb is, avoid them, they'll avoid you. Love this episode!
I grew up about 60 miles from there in the same kind of terrain. Loved camping in the woods as a kid. In the wet season it’s all flooded. In the dry season it’s a jungle. I courted my wife with canoe trips on the Alapaha River. Once we went out and the gators were in the rut or something and we’re all over the place. My dad was a guide in the Okefenokee swamp and we went out there all the time. When I saw this episode as a kid I was just getting into survival and primitive skills. I got so excited to see him in my back yard. Even though he butchered the name Altamaha. If you’re from the south it’s pronounced like Autamahaw. Thanks for inspiring me Les!
If he hasn't already done so, It'd be interesting if Les made an episode about post survival, & recovery. Parasites, pathogens etc. and the toll it takes on 1s body/mind.
I am curious how long he recovers between trips when they were in the middle of filming a season. Don’t know if he’s discussed that on the channel already. Just found the channel a few hours ago lol
@@by2083 Some people just refuse to use them. My brother complains about them and every time I'll just say adblock. He'll pause and either drop it or continue to complain about them. If I press it he'll just say he doesn't use them.
Les stroud is a legend. Solo documentary camping is seriously scary as hell and takes a special human to not only accomplish it, but do so with little to no injuries and never coming anywhere near death. 95% of the population wouldn’t last 24hrs out there without getting bitten, stung, or taken out by dirty water or food.
If I could do this in my state I feel like I could stay out for a few days. But I don’t know enough about other climates or environments to do any good. I live in West Virginia and I’m an Eagle Scout so I could last a few days in West Virginia.
@@bradyteets3426 West Virginia is beautiful! I'm always surprised by the lack of biting insects, at least compared to the states below. I might've just been lucky every time I've gone though
@@silvesby you’ve been lucky. We have nasty biting fly’s and mosquitoes and other biting bugs. But I’m the person that those bugs will go past ten other people to bite me. But it is a beautiful state.
95% ? That’s what many living in the Bay Area or Los Angeles might think but it turns out there are entire states full of hunters & fishermen who’d be just fine. The reason SAR has exploded in the past decade is because far too many urban and suburbanites dawdle off into hardcore wilderness with a bottle of water and a phone. They fail to respect American wilderness for what it is: wilderness. Drug usage in the outdoors also contributes to a lot of SAR incidents. Gen X is the last generation who grew up learning to troubleshoot & problem solve in the woods because our entire childhood’s through adolescence and high school years no one had cell phones. Those who could afford a “car phone” were typically not the REI/hiking types. It was understood that if you twist an ankle, dehydrate or get lost you better have a skillset & some tools because there’s no helicopter coming
haha i would think some of these ideas he does are just to give him a goal that works with the story of being stranded in certain locations and also gives him something to film out there
Les is the man. He does everything by himself, where other survivalist do it in pairs or with a camera crew. Les Stroud is the G.O.A.T. when it comes to survival.
I used to watch these, How It’s Made, and other nature documentaries with my Dad when I was little. I was so happy when he told me this was here on TH-cam for free now! I remember hearing about the nasty parasite Les got from the turtle back then and I was so freaked out 😂 Many happy memories from watching these, thanks so much!!
Les, you are the true survivor program. So many times you have been hungry, cold,sleepless,etc.. You literally put your life on the line to give us a quality,well narrated show. So if your out there TY
@@luisgomez8635 you haven't seen enough of the episodes, or any of the early seasons if you think his life isn't at risk. GPS might help them locate his body though.
Access to safe, fresh water is why you should always carry a couple of lifestraws or some packets of Flo-Chlor powder and a fairly thick, robust plastic bag in your emergency kit. One small packet will turn liters of that swamp soup into clear, pure drinking water in next to no time.
I had to laugh when I saw this video with you in the swamp taking care of your feet staying as dry as possible doing everything the right way! Then I turned on Bear Grylls in the Florida swamp and the first thing he does is jumps right in the swamp waist deep in the water and then he climbed up a tree just to get a better look! All of the most dangerous things a person would do in a survival situation! Survivorman is #1 in my book!
I enjoy the survivalist videos and there are many out there, but in my opinion, Les Stroud's are the best. Les takes the time to explain why is doing a particular procedure and how it is done. This, to me, puts his videos at another level.
l lived in the deep south and this was always one of my favorite episodes. Yes it can be surprisingly cold down here, that humidity seems to turn to a cold blanket in the open at night.
The first time I got lost in that same swamp I walked for 11 miles before I showed up in Everett City now that I'm grown just be aware of what county you're in and have a compass and look for pine trees and go to them and life is a lot better at night
@@unexpectedvixen5685 Yeah and that Spanish moss is loaded with chiggers. Best to pass it through the flame before putting it next to your body. Looks like early spring then. Shoulda come in oh maybe July LOL. He'd lose his mind.
I live down the road. You dont only have to worry about that theres also flesh eating virus plus those brain amebas too. All the film on the swamp areas is tannic acids from all the leaves and vegetation breaking down and where the term black water river is derived from.
I'd love to take Les through the swamps here in Louisiana. He would absolutely love it. Thanks for posting these shows Les!!!!! He is such a genuine, honest, real, down to earth guy. It would be an honor to buy him a beer.
15 yrs after watching this show and I do it myself out in the woods. Kinda keeps you sane, nice to have someone to talk to, and never disagree with you.
So excited I found these on TH-cam I used to watch survivor man all the time I love it my brother and nephew love going camping and practicing some basic survivor skills in a safe environment of course but was all inspired from this show
SurvivorMan is the Steve Erwin today, just without the 🐊.....I love how he goes out in hostile environments to give us tips how to outdoor camp. When I was 15 I was in the boyscouts & we used to hike, kayak, & camp in the mountains but nothing like what I see with SurvivorMan. He's now my hero ! ♥️♠️♣️♦️❤♥️♠️♣️♦️
Screwing that up would have been bad. They have a considerable strike zone. That's the big bad daddy of N America period. Known to sometimes get to 10' in length and a head the size of your fist.
This is anytime better than the survival the people do nowadays. A real historical documentary about the environment and so on. I wish there would be a better video quality
And this was before GoPro cameras were around and worth using his cameras were huge he can make a whole episode now carrying all his camera equipment in a fanny pack or the pockets of his cargo pants
I remember growing up watching this show as much as I could as a kid/young teen, thank you Les. You have shown us real survival and possibly save someone’s life one day.
After 7 months of training at fort Benning Georgia I can attest to the volatility of the temperature there. Sweltering 80 degrees in the day and dropping to below freezing at night. When being forced to sleep in the water of the swamp it was no doubt some of the worst nights I've ever spent in the bush
This guy cracks me up..then when he had the snake he's like if I got poked bye a fang I'm on the way to the hospital.. no your not remember u got to float your way out they dropped u off... 🤣 Lmfao 😂 we knew better that u had a hole camera 🤳📸 team an a boat in there lmfao
this episode is one of the greatest episodes of any show ever - i rerember seeing it in my early 20s on tv and for some reason it always stuck with me - thank you
Love this show me and my foster dad used to watch this and I'm still watching this show think you les Stroud for doing this show and uploading it free to watch think you
I know what you mean. I’m in central Florida. I camp in a hammock with a tarp and/or mosquito netting over me. I refuse to sleep in the ground. No just the gators. The bugs have attitude down here. Especially the fire ants.
Absolutely love the show but just to clarify for anyone watching there are 6 species of venomous snakes in Georgia as Les stated, but there are only 3 species of rattlesnake (Easter diamondback, timber/canebrake, and the pygmy rattlesnake) the other 3 are eastern coral, copperhead and cottonmouth/water moccasin.

Love this guy, he's honest about his abilities, his mistakes. He's like the Bob Ross of survival shows.

I learned a lot about dry tinder when I first started watching the show. I even helped my friends start a fire.
No mistakes, just happy little bouts of weeklong diarrhea
He rules that happy little bush all by himself

The most realistic survival show ever done. Les taught us all so much. Simply the best.

If you’re from the south it’s pronounced like Autamahaw.

I think everyone should see the Okefenokee prairies and cypress, don't you?
Another reason why the south sucks
Like Tom sawyer or something.

i don't think he has but i'd watch that. interesting stuff
@@EvertfromNederland he mentioned in a recent video he believes he did get a parasite from this episode that plagued his gums for 8+ months
He mentioned he got a parasite in his mouth from the turtle that lasted for over a year
he's answered that shit millions of times in interviews. Doubt he wants to say it AGAIN for the umpteenth time.
I am curious how long he recovers between trips when they were in the middle of filming a season. Don’t know if he’s discussed that on the channel already. Just found the channel a few hours ago lol
Still can’t believe this man went torch fishin in the swamp 😂😂😂 Les is wild. Ain’t no way. DON’T EAT THE TURTLE
If I recall correctly, that turtle ended up giving him some kind of parasite all in his mouth and gums.
I don’t care if there was a ad every 10 seconds I would watch everyone of these again. My favorite show ever. Thank you for uploading them les
I just skip forward to where the ads are and 90 percent of the time, itll just skip them. I do it all the way to the end then restart the show
Just skip right to the end of the video then hit rewatch. Problem solved. Or download an ad blocker. Plenty of free and safe ones out there.

haha i would think some of these ideas he does are just to give him a goal that works with the story of being stranded in certain locations and also gives him something to film out there
Survival is a lot of trial and error just hopefully not life threatening errors
I think he did it for comedic effect.

I love watching how the bags under his eyes get progressively blacker and larger through each episode from day 1-7 😂

Itch like crazy, but super hot water feels like a thousand years of relief.... Never scratch, just heat. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Plot twist: they dumped him off 1 mile behind the Walmart in Waycross.
That could be true or down at the Swamp park. Maybe Okeefenokee Joe paid him a visit,
I live 3 miles from these swamps. They are no joke! Fantastic episode! Learned some things about my own back yard!

I actually live in this area! Its so cool to see Les trying to survive in the place i call home.
are you saying you’re.... SHREK???
Brunswick here. I'm trying to figure out exactly where hewas
I like how he gives advice to use mud as a repellant on night 1 and is completely clean faced on day 2.
Love how he made a raft but more or less walked the whole way lol
When you cut a thick vine for water also cut it off about 3-4 ft up too. It'll relieve pressure and you'll get the water much faster.
After years of watching Les I'm confident I will be better prepared in a given situation than I would be without his knowledge and influence
I like Les because he actually survives out in the elements with barely any resources.
So excited I found these on TH-cam I used to watch survivor man all the time I love it my brother and nephew love going camping and practicing some basic survivor skills in a safe environment of course but was all inspired from this show

Equally challenging he’s older with new gear lighter same difficulty
And a drone too
@searchingfornessie8410Such a zoomer response... "Potato"
They dropped that man in Lagras bayou NWA & dipped 🤣💯🙏🏿
As a Georgia boy, I got the shivers when he went fishing at night. Gators will sneak up on you.
I know what you mean. I’m in central Florida. I camp in a hammock with a tarp and/or mosquito netting over me. I refuse to sleep in the ground. No just the gators. The bugs have attitude down here. Especially the fire ants.
@@salasala5418 not sure. My wife is from southern Louisiana. Basically the swamp of America. It gets terrifying
the swamps are beautiful but so creepy! 7 days alone there is terrifying!!! Awesome episode Les!!!
Watched this mans show at 13 now I'm 22 and still watching as if I never seen it before
Absolutely love the show but just to clarify for anyone watching there are 6 species of venomous snakes in Georgia as Les stated, but there are only 3 species of rattlesnake (Easter diamondback, timber/canebrake, and the pygmy rattlesnake) the other 3 are eastern coral, copperhead and cottonmouth/water moccasin.
I've seen that coral snake a few times while fishing down here in Georgia
It’s funny
In the intro he says poisonous snakes
It’s a common mistake
@@timgorton1933 I noticed that too lol bugged the hell out of me
@@psychotropictraveler514animals are venomous, plants are poisonous 🤪 bugs me too
42:10 my man put the moss back on the tree lol. what a gentleman.

Very good. I remember watching this all the time back when I use to watch tv.
I grew up watching mr. Stroud and I am glad he teaches you some great things. He is the best
This is my all time favorite episode! I loved this show as a kid!
Every time I see one of these shows makes me grateful to be home.

Les early episodes really made an impression on me years back! I been hooked on Survivorman ever since!
Use to watch this everyday after elementary school ALLL THE TIME.
First survival show episode I'd ever seen back when it aired on TV originally. Eating the rattlesnake blew my mind.
Les Stroud is the original and will always be the best!
One of the Rare TH-cam videos I wouldn’t mind there being even more ads just as long as Les Gets paid
Been watching les since high school on cable TV am now 32 and still watching
