  • Les Stroud is stranded in the Norwegian mountains. This will prove to be the most difficult survival expedition of Les’s twenty-year career. With no food or water, no safety or camera crew, Les must haul 65 pounds of camera gear down the slick wet mountainside in the hope of finding shelter. Scavenging what he can from the barren landscape, exhausted and starving, Les draws on his years of experience and the will to survive in order to make it the full ten days.
    Directed by: Les Stroud
    Starring: Les Stroud

    Les, I'm a Texan and grew up wayching your content, I'm almost 26. And these days your content helps get me through life. Your episodes help me with anxiety and the frustrations of life. Because your attitude and just pure authentic personality is calming and real. Can't really thank you enough for being an amazing soul on this planet and spreading knowledge and positive vibes, which is 2 things the world really needs these days. Thanks again Les Stroud.

      Bear's tactics would likely get him and certainly the average Joe killed in mere days. After he's done filming his completely irresponsible and dumb decisions, he goes back to the resort and has steak and sits by a pool for the next day (bystanders have seen him doing this while filming an episode).
      He's not a survivalist by any means. No doubt he was part of a top military program and is an EXTREMIST/adventurer, but not a survivalist. Stroud meanwhile has been a survival training expert for nearly 30 years and trains the military in survival skills. It really goes to show that most people want flashy "OMG WOW explosions!" on TV than anything with substance.

The guy who was in charge of the hiking section came to ask if I needed any advice and I asked him about the temp ratings. he just said "Yeah they are technically good for that temperature but if you're not sure, pick one higher. It'll keep you alive longer if the situation turns bad."

Sometimes it wasn’t enough, but 95% of the time it was the best thing I could do. Have tried the candle but since it was a big van, all it did was spit out a little light and was a fire hazard so I only tried it like, 4 times maybe. Best time of my life if I’m being honest.

We arent as experienced as you so we take a little water and food with us. When we leave, we always clean up, and we always take cans we find out of the woods, because its a popular spot for offroaders and party animals. Always leave it cleaner than it was when we went out. Take care of dear Gaia, and she will take care of us. Thank you les, for making me how i am today.

    Sweet episode. By the way, I actually had to use a candle in a car for heat overnight. What I came up with was hanging my little frying pan over the candle flame, letting it heat up. Bigger surface area of the pan gave me a decent amount of heat. At least way more than just the candle flame. Actually worked well. And yeah, had two candles the size of the one he has here. Used one at a time, but heating up a larger piece of metal over it radiates much more heat.

    • @brandonk6479
      @brandonk6479 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Indeed it does work. You can actually keep warm if you have some tea candles, a small (maybe 4" diameter or so?) flower pot (like the little orangish ones) and some tiles. Stack some small tiles/pieces of tile on each side of the candle (all of which should be on a larger tile), and put the pot on top of the stacks, spanning the gap between, and have the little tea candle under the pot. Will heat it up and radiate that heat outwards. Works rather nicely

    MrBallen has just told a true story on his channel about a family that found themselves exactly in this same situation on a very remote mountain road in Oregon. It didn't go well for the family, at least not for the father - he was already weakened by lack of food and warmth by the time he left his wife and two young kids in the snowbound car to try to get help. But instead of going back, he went further along the mountain road, tried to make a short cut through the wilderness and perished. His family were luckily found by a SAR helicopter out looking for them and were saved, but the father waited for days on end before he went for help - during that time they had run out of fuel and food and he was physically exhausted even before he left. I would have gone back down the road as soon as I realised that we were stuck and that nobody else was coming along that road, but of course in hindsight that's easy to say.

    Im a 60 yr old grandma. Ive watched Les for years.
    4 years ago i made a hike group for kids. We go out in the heavy woods and hike. We do bushcraft and they learn it all and love it. Sometimes the parents will come along but i almost prefer they dont as they helicopter so much.
    I give the kids machetes knives fire starting stuff. Cooking and shelter building. Wild edibles and first aid. No cell phones allowed unless on silent.
    These kids are ages 5 to 14. Girls and boys. Im telling you i think they would be out in the woods any day.
    My husband is at cleveland clinic. A week so far. Last year 55 days.
    I sleep in my jeep in the parking garage. There are plenty of situations you will need to survive in. First line of defense is not to panic and take stock of what you have. We are too far away for me to go home, and my husband is busy surviving the hospital.
    Les has taught me so much that I've passed on to my hike group kids.
    My 10 yr old grandson is quite proficient. I tell him ok we need a fire. He will pick the safe spot, get rocks, tinder bundle, use his flint and steel or one of other ways he knows. Build that fire safely and put the water kettle (that we have filtered) on it.
    I could go on. My oldest son has a good sized YT channel for the same thing and he came on a hike with us. He was quite impressed. The kids built a very sturdy comfortable bench with natural materials for us to sit on.

    Ive lived in the snow belt of New York my whole life. The first thing my dad taught me about driving in the winter was to never have less than a half tank of gas, keep food (granola bars, trail mix, jerky) water, and blankets in the trunk. Along with a shovel and some kitty litter. Obviously I'm more likely to be found a lot sooner in a populated area, but these tips could save my life if I end up off the road somewhere.

      When the snow hits that area it’s pretty intense
