Les is a Native Australian. He is one of the true people! Thank you,Les, for sharing and teaching! America is a different place here! They don't share their still evil in the heart 💔!
He's not some Redneck - he was a Major and a specialist. For God's sake. Notice over time how the producers encouraged Major Hiddens to speak more broadly. If you see him interviewed away from this show, his voice is different - educated and gentlemanly. I hate media.
yeah, poor old bloke would be nearly 80 years old. dont think he'll be doing to much more trekking. great bloke tho. met him in newcastle in the 90's at a 4wd show. genuine nice guy
I loved this show so much when it was shown here in the UK, I think in the late 80s on channel 4.I looked forward all week to the next episode,those were the days before TH-cam,Netflix and the rest lol. I'm thinking a young Ray Mears and Bear Grylls both watched it in the UK
Yes i looked forward to this to, Ray Mears did a program with Les Some time back. The Bush Tucker Man is the best of them all. So glad it was shown back then.
@@robbland6312 yes, Les is a legend, of the current crop the best is survivorman as his show is genuine, whereas Bear has been totally exposed for chicanery.Mears is great as he has Les level knowledge
ABC thanks for the feedback i would love to meet les he has so much info to impart im looking for publications and the maps he made around the country a great store for research i retire in two yrs and planning a 12 month volunteer role on turtle conservation i hope i can find les bless him or a guide to learn bush tucker
As much as I love this guy and I really do...he always seems to focus on nuts, seeds, berries and the like. If you're going to survive in the bush for extended periods you need protein...that is meat... a kangaroo, wallaby, a snake, crocodile...some big animal to cook up over a fire....why don't we ever see Les cook a big animal? There is no way in hell anyone would survive eating berries and nuts....foraging is one thing...hunting is another.
Probably because its obvious. Everyone knows you can eat meat. His job was to gather info and document available native foods for army survival. Running a butchering course for animals we already know are edible isnt in the scope. Locating and identifying plants and in what season they are available is far more important and so thats where he spent his time.
@samcapstick5629 complaining? That's what you're doing, lol 🤡 1+1=9. Don't you dare "complain" and say it actually =2. Stay off the internet little boy.
Considering he was a private in 67 and a captain in 85 it doesn't seem unreasonable that he would be a major in this a few years later just before he retired in 89.
Who would dislike this? Bush tucker man is a national treasure🇦🇺
Watched the tv series as a kid, have since bought the CD box set and still watch them😊

My favorite tv show growing up watching with my pops and my little cousin on ABC.. watching it on TH-cam 20 years later .. brings back fond memories.
I love going for a walk with Les: he doesn't over talk, gives you space to look and everything he says is interesting
I love the respect Les shows for the aboriginal people, so different than many programmes about Australia, which practically ignore them.

I remember watching these when they came out. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I watched him in Sweden too as a teenager,, Great,,just great,,he should do a new series!!👍🏻😊
He is in his later years right

this bloke just jumps into a scrub filled hole not worrying about any snakes that might be in there lol, gotta admire that
Love the hat to pants ratio.
Bush Tucker man is the best

Les thinks bear is a prat
He has a lot of respect for Ray though
This guys the Aussie Fred dibnah fkn legend
@MichaelKingsfordGray I bet your parents were devastated when you were born... Now go and fuck off and troll someone else
After eating the wrong bush tucker I became Bush Toilet Man.
That's for watching Bush Tucker man 😂😂😂😂

Anyone else disappointed NOT to see a pair of army boots? @52:16

Legend!

Ooh, he's hot, but I reckon he'll keep you regular though!
Major was the real deal 😁😁
Legend
Les never had much luck with Yabbies!
This is entertainment to me anyways
I wonder who the 4 cadets was
This is actually episodes 5 through 8 of season 1, NOT season 2.
I reckon the title should be changed.
There’s always one that has to complain about something.
@samcapstick5629 complaining? That's what you're doing, lol 🤡 1+1=9. Don't you dare "complain" and say it actually =2. Stay off the internet little boy.
2 deadly
I have nightmares about jumping blind into that trench.
I don't think they sell boxer shorts as short as his short pants anymore.
The same idea struck me when in the navy, seeing what the seals were training in.
Why post the show with such crap video quality seriously
Nice idea...but the sound is so off from the video, you can either watch, OR listen, but not both.
Or just watch from a distance.
A lack of concern for the edge of the knife is odd.
Funny how he was promoted from a corporal to a Major with 0 University degree, a Govt PR move!
