Les: Be careful around those big holes, could have snakes in there. Also Les five minutes later: I will now poke it with a stick

The only KZfaq videos where I'm fine with watching the ads. Any support for Les is fine by me.

I love the idea that there's two big beasts creeping up on him about to eat him, and he almostly jokingly plays the harmonica for the camera, which saves his life lol.

I always liked this dude more than anyone else because he was actually alone, filmed everything solo and was actually educational

Is it me or does anyone get really thirsty after watching a Survivorman episode?

Due to Les' philosophy of conserving energy and his whole title card and intro, I always found his show to be oddly comforting in a primal kind of way

We need a Urban version of survivor man. Where he wakes up in an alley with nothing but a couple dirty needles, a spoon, and a poop covered blanket.

Best survival series ever. It was legitimately educational which is what made it so entertaining. Unlike other survival shows which are for pure entertainment & not educational at all (Naked & Afraid for example)

Les was the best. I remember the one he accidentally burnt down his shelter one night and totally owned it on the show, he was so real.

Les is and will always be the ONLY real Survivorman! There's nothing fake, dramatic, or glorified about him. He truly "taught" survival skills.

Imagine all the times he has to go back and pick up his cameras once he walks passed it

"now that's a knife" did you just crocodile dundee us?

He’s a small plane pilot, can fly hot air balloons, can survive anywhere, makes flame thrower defence systems, Les is like the Canadian version of MacGyver!🤨🇨🇦

Imagine being a wildebeest, minding your own business at night, and then hearing that harmonica, and as you're running away, you hear the airhorn. Haha must've scared the piss out of those animals.

I just loved it when Les tried to ward off danger by the power of Blues harmonica. Absolute legend.

I can't even imagine the hours of deleted footage of him walking back to pick up the cameras haha

9:30 - "Simply combining some basic medications will give me an edge on survival..." Florida has entered the chat.

“It’s not so easy to leave a place of security” as he walks away only to walk back for the camera 🤣🤣 this man is dedicated to his art .

Les' harmonica is one of the most feared entities in nature

Thank you for all these episodes, I've been binging the whole series!

19:20 Lesson #1 in survival: Don't piss off the hornets!

That first sound Les heard sounded like a lion. I'm thinking the lion sensed a challenger was breaching his territory and he was sending a warning saying "Get out!" When the lion saw the flame thrower, it was thinking. "Ah hell with that, I ain't get burned to death by that fire breathing beast over there." In this show we can rightfully claim that Les was King of the Jungle.

Notice this isnt on the Discovery Channel YT channel...Les was smart to not sign a full rights deal with Discovery when he started this series! This YT channel will make good income for Les! Make note young artists and creatives getting into show biz! Dont sell your rights for petty advances! Stay patient!

"I wanna satisfy my curiosity about the holes...yeah...no I don't!"....this happens in more than one situation😂😂

Note to self; Glycerin + Potassium Permanganate Antiseptic = Chem Reaction Fire!

The level of danger from wild animals depends on how difficult life is for the animal. If it has been a bad season without food the animals will take the risk of getting hurt to eat. Les Stroud put himself in places i never want to go.

This was always my favorite episode! Was always stoked to see this as a rerun as a child. Im an adult now. So happy and nostalgic to see these. A simpler time, indeed.

Born in the Kalahari and later in life moved to the Bushveld and then the Karoo, this is hilarious!

" a little muddy but clean" is how i describe the cleanliness of my house.

This episode really makes me appreciate the thought of carrying a gun basically at all times in nature. Partially for defense, but mainly for easy hunting.

Quails, we call it Bontog or Pugo. They can not fly long distances. Kids use to chase them, cos they know that they can only fly 3 times and go into hiding in some bushes or thick grasses.

Les. You've been a grand inspiration during my entire upbringing. Not because you put yourself in danger , but the lessons you teach and the mindsets you profess. Thank you. (Also Cattail stalks in the summer and spring taste like cucumber)

Love this guy. He’s the real deal and he’s got integrity and honesty

I remember buying one of these episodes to install on my 2009 iPod nano 😂 watched it dozens of times. The only good survival show.

*eats 4 termites* "Woo Im getting stuffed" Lmao

Back in the day when everybody was ‘Bear Grylls’…..I was always ‘Les Stroud’! Both awesome in their own right, but Les was truly alone. Thanks for the knowledge and the memories Les!😎

This show always made me wanna be outdoors as a kid and now as an adult I can say that this show is part of the reason I love being outside in the wilderness

Couldn’t help laughing at Les’s choice of music as he ran away from the bees xD

The most important survival tool in this episode: the giant flame thrower. :)

Adam Savage and Les Stroud would make a crazy post apocalypse team.

This has to be the most expensive episode to date. Hot air balloons are INCREDIBLY expensive. To just cut one up like that gave me shivers. I enjoyed this one! Thanks Les!

Thank you for archiving this amazing show on the internet for everyone to watch and learn for many years to come. Hopfully this reaches a new generation of viewers and gets them outside abit more ! :) i definitely enjoyed watching these as a kid and i still enjoy them now as an adult. Your a legend.

I love the idea of all the lions, leopards and buffalo hiding out because they've heard that Les Stroud is roaming around.

Les is a National Treasure of Canada.

This man is a real bad ass. The one channel where there is little to no negativity. Speaks for the authenticity of les. One hell of an explorer

It's awesome that Les just casually knows how to fly a hot air balloon and a plane. Even landed the plane on a random rough old air strip. The man has balls of steel.

anyone realize this guy went that many days, with that much energy, with only a tiny crab and a few ants? that doesnt seem right.

That scene with the wasps and the Canadian EH was priceless.

At 42:26 after the long silence, I thought that was a black mamba sound for a second 😆

Boiling water in a plastic bottle still remains the coolest survival trick I've ever seen.

Growing up i had no friends and no hobbies and watched alot of tv and played alot of video games to pass the time and i remember having the first 2-3 seasons of survivorman on dvr and i remember when the show first aired getting hooked and watching it with my parents and actually trying some stuff bc i lived in the country. Survivorman will always have a place in my heart for the nostalgia of keeoing me occupied in my awkward teen years

Each time I watch any episode of Survivorman, I’m amazed how easy to do it looks, and how hard in fact it was in all respects. Les made it look easy, though. No drama, no tricks.

I'd be more freaked out about all the ticks than lions!😫🤣

I seriously can't believe you drank that water without even trying to purify it. My stomach hurts just thinking about it.

This man is an international treasure. Sorry Canada but he’s bigger than just one nation!

That sound he heard on the second night was 100% a lion. That would be terrifying

I think the sheer realism and the great personality of Les Stroud is what makes this show more appealing to me than something like Man V Wild. Thanks for all these videos, and props to you for posting your series on KZfaq for everyone to see for free! Keep up the great stuff!

Les makes me proud to be Canadian. He's like the Bob Ross of survival.

I love when Les is like "Oh I better be careful getting close to this, there might be deadly snakes or scorpions or other things inside I might disturb" and then puts his camera as close as he can to it

Honestly, My old ass woulda stayed in the basket with my Flame Trowers till my crew came for me 😆😜😉.. Les is the BEST 👍 👊 . Old G 😁

This has given me so much nostalgia from when I was little and was fascinated by the sheer fact of surviving on the wild

Rule 69 of survival: have a freaking flamethrower turret. edit lol 169 likes thanks.

Hot air balloon basket!?!? Wow! what a cool idea for a shelter! I'd love to watch Les just do a variety of novel shelter ideas. Honestly anything he could do to show you how to be reallife McGuyver!!!!!

Les, alone in South Africa in the middle of the night, surrounded by "big creatures", with an harmonica as only weapon. If this isn't BRAVERY, then it's borderline suicidal 😂

Can't stand up too quick after almost a WEEK of no food - as I get light headed standing up after being late for lunch by a couple hours...

Les should do a series where he survives in cities.

Im so happy that people can see his episodes again! he is the true OG of survival shows!

Not me watching and rewatching every Survivor man episode and feeling nostalgic. It really is one of the best survival series ever made.

Thank you Les! A Year ago I was in South Africa for a week. Magnificent beasts they have down there. Not really my cup of tea to survive among those things, amazing how you did it.

I love seeing all the extra bits of footage in these episodes, that weren't in the tv versions. thanks Les!! You rule!

Africa for all its beauty and my love of wildlife is somewhere I’ll never be seen lol

Man the good old days of staying up late on school nights and watching this.

Les will never know just how many young men he inspired.

I love les . To me theres no one better and im sure hes learned this since this episode. But the part where he wets the bandana and places it to his neck, he is right to cool the arteries. But by blotting them. There are nerve endings in the back of your neck that send signals to your brain telling it you need to warm up or cool down. In this instance the cloth in the neck makes the brain tell the body to sacrifice other organ functions to warm the core and vitals if left on or done to often for too long.

Glad he own the rights to his life’s work very rare in this industry

After a father and his young daughter both were last seen with their hot air balloon on fire and could be heard screaming on their way down to the ground, died, near my town I said I was good on those things forever.

Thanks les. Never knew you existed. I’m binge watching everything. My dad and I used to watch Bear Grylles together and I know also he would enjoy your series. Cheers survivor

Who remembers zip off pants 😁

A night watching survivor man episodes is one where I likely, won’t get much sleep

I remember back in the day Watching survivorman and man tracker love them shows

Just stumbled across these and have been binge watching for days. I didn't catch them when I was younger, they would have premiered when I was in my early 20's. Here I am at age 38 and loving every minute of these! Glad to see so many other folks nostalgic over these episodes as well!!

You're awesome Les! Thanks for uploading these, I really enjoy the whole Survivorman series! It's one of my all time favourite shows and I haven't watched it in years.

“You can eat a different part of a cattail almost any time of year” Yeah, except that time in Canada.

The plastic bottle is a great way to get rid of any intruders. You don’t want into your body, but it definitely doesn’t take away the fact that you’re putting plastic particles into your water by melting the plastic. Either way it goes. It still helps you from surviving situation and it’s great advice to give out. 🔥🔥🔥

Love shows like this. Once went camping and didn't bring any lighter fluid or a starter log and all I had was matches. Was able to make a fire with all the tips and tricks I learned from this show and impressed my entire camping group 😁

39:43 this is true for humans as well, if they have brightly colored hair, they’re usually toxic 🤣

Y'know, while I enjoy easy living I have to say that I am in love with these videos.

Les invented a selfie-stick before there were smartphones. Now that’s innovation!!

Brilliant : Predator Repellent and/or BBQ Device !! GENIUS - Level 5.

My favorite moment is when Les decides the best thing to do with that little crab is put it in his shirt pocket.

Les #1, just found these videos! they bring me back to my childhood when I’d watch him on cable when I was like 8

The flame thrower attached to a shelter may be the best survival defence system of all time

Still the best survival show in my opinion. I've been a big fan for many years and that goes from when I was school through present day. Thank you for uploading these!

This episode should be called "How to starve in Africa"

Those 2 chemicals just lit up! That's pretty cool.

"See these holes ? I gotta be careful, these could easily be snake holes!" ** steps closer **

It's always raining no matter where he goes 😂

Kicking back eating pizza, drinking some sprite watching this man eat a small crab whole, shell and all. I love this show, I have watched Les survive in every habitat imaginable. He truly is an inspiration and has left an impact on my life, I feel much better on my hunting trips knowing the knowledge I have gathered from watching him survive. Thank you Les for being a part of my life. ❤️

The greatest reality show of all time

I LOVE this guys videos. They are the most honest, real survival videos. No bs or big crews there to help if something went wrong. True survival this guy is doing. Im a big hunter/outdoor enthusist myself so these are some awesome tips and tricks.
