To think, he did all of this before go pros. Legend.

I am a fifth grade teacher and assigned an informative writing assignment. One of my students wanted to write about outdoor survival. I recommended some of your videos to him and he loves them. I am really looking forward to reading his assignment. I also appreciate how you keep your videos clean so that students can learn from them.

My first time watching this episode, my wife and I had just experienced a miscarriage, and I was in a terrible state of mind. The “as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by the multitude of jumping salmon on either side of my kayak” line made me absolutely cry laughing. And that was my first time laughing in a few weeks. Thank you for that Les.

you are the reason that everytime I go out kayaking I always bring like half a case of water, jerky/sausage, a lighter and a portable battery for my phone.

So happy these are being uploaded. I used to catch them on TV all the time in the early '00s as a child. Now that I'm an adult I spend all my free time in the woods.

There's probably no greater feeling than knowing that you taught someone something through watching this show that saved their life in a survival situation

Les- you were definitely born different. I've learned so much from watching your videos for the last decade or more. I appreciate it man you're awesome

34:39 me when I found your KZfaq uploads.

Man that intro. The nostalgia from the old days, sitting in my living every Sunday just waiting for these to come on discovery channel. What a legend to this day! Forever a fan!

i love his reaction when he eats, it makes me hungry every time

I’ve started watching this again after years and now I just want to move to the woods lol 😂

so in my culture its a huge blessing to see an eagle fly overhead of you its said to be a sign of the great spirits acknowledging your journey and giving their respect and blessing they watch over you and keep you safe so i like to think that Les was blessed that day when he saw the eagle and shared his respect for it and in turn the universe made way for that same eagle to leave some of his own meal to help Les along his journey. and i think thats also why Les finds himself in "lucky" situations or has those moments where you might think its staged but really he just has so much respect for the world around him and the power of mother nature that hes got what most people would call really good karma and this is just the universes way of balancing cuz hes out here risking his life to tell an amazing story and bring us amazing content so he really deserves every bit of luck and divine tidings that comes his way

No wonder all of Les’ videos are free look at the way of the world. He’s saving more than one life.

One of my childhood heroes. My love for the outdoors was fueled by watching Les Stroud's Tv show

When I was a kid watching Les I was amazed. As a adult now, it is even more amazing.

Who remembers being a kid watching this? BEST MEMORIESSSSS

I love how in each episode, Les always brings along some random survival tool like the fire piston, and shows us how to use it/ how it works! Thank you for your incredible expertise, Les!

23:43 Watching these has been great, but I find it easy to forget that in filming himself, he has to repeat so many things and frequently pause to adjust cameras. That's so much work! Then I forget again. Then I'm impressed again! It goes on like this...

" sunshine fills the soul but not the stomach."

This is the only channel I watch all the ads for not only does it remind me of when it was on TV I genuinely think Les deserves every penny

"sunshine fills the soul, but not the stomach" that was poetic

Les, i honestly think you have lived more than any other man i know of, a true inspiration. When youre old and ready to pass on, surrounded by those you love and who love you, i wonder which paradise you will be in

Alaska is quite beautiful

My favorite part of this show is always the building of a shelter and also watching the whole “how will he make a fire this time”. I appreciate that he tries to come up with different ways of doing both. That way it doesn’t get boring AND you learn multiple possible ways of getting these important things done.

Les: I got this huge glass bottle! Lemme make a fishhook Also Les: Imma carry my water in this thin paddle handle

It’s cool watching an episode filmed in a place that you actually live.

Les Stroud is the best survivor man on this planet. I would want him leading my group if ever an apocalypse.

Best survival show ever. Thanks again Les

i'm not gonna lie. i laughed so hard when he smashed the bottle 28:53 shortly after saying "its kinda a hike to get some water."

The absolute goat of bushcraft, surviving in the wild survivor man. I’ve watched all these episodes at least 30 times a piece. Every episode is great. Salute to u Les

"this should be a dew-able night" hahaha

You got me into the outdoors as a kid. Everything from the filming, music and reality of your show. If it wasn’t for you I probably wouldn’t be backpacking, kayaking camping or anything else. Thanks Les, you’re the man.

Man oh man. Did I absorbed your series thru and thru when they were first performed. You made me to practise my survival skills back in the years. Thank you for these.

Absolutely love this show and mad respect Les. I watched all these as a kid and at one point after reading "My side of the mountain" I wanted to run off to live in the woods, and your show did not help me with that desire hahaha. Anyways I love the part when you said Alaska is so large that it could fit the 21 smallest states inside it. See as a kid I knew it was big but because of the maps I'd seen I didn't quite understand it till a few years later when my friend told me Alaska was bigger then Texas and I showed him the map and told him maybe sure doesn't look bigger. And he showed me this geography book he had and showed me a realistic interpretation of the world map, blew my young mind, I must have been like 10-11yo. I need to go there someday, I remember going to the coast in Oregon and Washington and it was strange seeing the rainforest there, like the ice cold ocean would literally give you a brain freeze like when you eat too much ice cream to fast, but then you'd see rain come in and the rain would feel warm on your skin and clouds of mist would roll down the mountainside to the sea. Spectacular. That was almost 15 years ago and I remember ever part of it all the sensations I felt.

Half eaten shoe of previous traveler, "Not a good omen". Pretty casual. Plus, putting a fire INSIDE a driftwood structure. First thing I thought of when you did that and "sure enough".

Les is the man for putting these on KZfaq for free!!

"This may be a DEWable night"! Had me laughing a long time.

Going to Seward for summer fishing was always my favorite childhood memory of growing up there. ❤️

At my last job (ranger) we had to camp out in tents during the winter. We'd survive the night by putting boiling water into plastic bottles and then putting them into our sleeping bags. It was efficient because in the morning you had safe, drinking water to enjoy! (Or you could reheat the water for the next night). We also had stones that we'd heat up as well. It's important to not use a gas heater in tents because of the confined space you can become poisoned. Oh, also if you have a tent, don't put it under a tree with dead upper limbs as those are called 'widow makers' by rangers. Because they can fall off with only a slight breeze and crush you while you sleep (making your spouse a widow). Always best to camp out in a small clearing. And if you HAVE TO camp under trees (dense forest), make sure the tree above you is as healthy as possible with no dead limbs ideally.

I have always loved your shows. No over the top BS for viewers like some other shows. I have learned so much from you. My wife started watching naked & afraid, and enjoys limited learning opportunities on that show. I have gotten her into watching your shows because you have so much more actual survival content.

Been watching him work for over 20 years. I have learned and taught so much from this man!

I've been watching you from the beginning and it's amazing to be able to rewatch all these old episodes and pick up on stuff that I missed

you would think that in a place as remote as this, finding trash would be harder than finding gold. but it's near heartbreaking that he was able to find some @17:19....incredible

39:30 - 40:18 min. The salmon playing games with les. Like cant catch me..catch me if you can... Jumping out the water like a dolphin. Salmon -1 Les- 0

Thank you for coming back Les.

I grew up watching this show and I’m rewatching it now for the calm nature and nostalgia! It’s so calm I use to watch it every night to fall asleep because of his calming voice/nature!

I love Les, but it makes me laugh when the Canadian comes out.

Thank u Les Stroud for doing the KZfaq thing! I have watched everything u have put out from the jump and happily watch it all over again good on u sir and please keep rockin brother!!!

You can fix up that blue container with fire and some plastic, you can melted and patch up those holes. Can carry a lot of water.

Im getting MAJOR Jurassic Park wibes from all this footage.

Les Stroud is soo knowledgeable when it comes to extreme survival. I love the fire piston, I always carry one along with a lighter, along with gear that will keep me alive if I end up in a bad situation. I love the wilderness here in AK so very much! The weather here goes from clear sunny, to white out, windy and cold ASAP! There are warnings mother nature gives before she unleashes her wrath. People who approach any wilderness with "ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN TO ME" attitude you never hear from again.

thanks. I missed the show. My favorite parts from Survivorman all have to do with fishing and collecting edibles

you could easily and quickly build a tide pool and catch all sorts of sea life. it works over and over without much maintenance and repair!

- 28:05 "One man's Trash, is another man's Treasure". At least, that's how we say it here in Australia 🌏 Love your work Les ❤️

its just insane to me. The few second shot at 5:02 he had to set everything up, get out, paddle a bit, turn around to retrieve everything and then start paddling again. So much work

I'm 35, when I first started watching these i didn't appreciate the context of how beautiful the whole experience truly is. I re-watch every episode and soak in everything about the show. Thank you Les!

Seward Alaska is beautiful! I'm moving back up there in a month. Thank you Les for all the skills and lessons you have given, I can't wait to try this out. You are the man!

I 🖤 Alaska. I’ve mushed dogs in -30 & hiked solo through grizzly territory. Its beauty is like no other.

I never leave home without four things a multi-tool, a fixed blade knife, a leather belt and a fire starter. You never know when you might need them! I have been watching your show since i was in high school and many of the things i have used i learned from watching you. Thanks Les!

Super big thanks for posting these, Les. I haven't had a TV/Netflix/Hulu or whatever for years and forgot how much I enjoyed the Survivorman series. I'm excited to see what you are cooking up now.

I use to watch this show all the time! So happy to see the seasons uploaded on KZfaq! This show is awesome!

Anyone else used to “play survivorman” as a kid? When I was a kid I used to say I was playing survivorman and I’d go make bushcraft shelters, try to catch fish and frogs and whatever I could, make spears and stuff like that. Anyone else? Lol

I'm sooo thankful for these videos, I'm learning tons of survival and he's a very humble, likeable person. I'm enjoying every bit of what I see although I feel for him in his ordeals of course

Learned so much from your shows, Les. Thanks so much for all that you continue to do. Hope you and the family are well.

Gotta hand it to the production crew. They're able to talk Les into doing their job repeatedly.

Les Stroud, the manliest of all manly men. Love this shit.

This is the episode that les had his sasquatch encounter in. When he says that it can be pretty spooky here he heard what he says could only come from a primate

After all these many years of watching... I just noticed at 45:19 that there's a "hair" person on the production team? Made me smile. From Tokyo

Awesome all the episodes have been uploaded to KZfaq!👍👍 Missed watching the real OG went in comes to actual survival skills. Not the phony Bear Grills bs.

Brave man cooking that fish where you sleep. Great vids Les. Keep it up!

Born and raised Alaskan. I LOVE seward. It’s a must go location for residents and tourists. Peaceful and beautiful. It has claimed many people.

And I get to enjoy this episode after years! I remember watching this right after Grills, and laughing about how much better he survived up here than that fake.

Hilarious how he makes everything sound delicious lol

Your an absolute legend I've learned so much by watching your videos! Thank you

My absolute FAVORITE episode!!!!

No food, No Friends, No beer- sounds like me

Yooooo thanks for uploading these. I loved this show as a kid. Still do.

Soooo.... unofficially les stroud has to be the first vlogger

The amount of times I’ve watched survivor man, this man feels like family

Sir is a true legend. I would really love to see him do just one more. Somewhere awesome or breathtaking or anything. Just please give us favor fans ONE MORE VIDEO PLEASE ✊👍🙏

It's nice to see all of these episodes again. Its been a long time

Les; you da man!! I always can calm my soul by watching your content. Still waiting on you to call and have me over for 4 day old rotting fish. lol. Be well, friend I've never met.

These are so great. I loved this show back in the day. Thank you for uploading these and for being a living legend, Mr. Stroud!

Beautiful scenery, I bet Russia regrets selling Alaska to the US.

Les Stroud is THE survivalist. Bear Grylls may have the knowledge, the grit and the bravery (bravery to some, stupidity to others), but at the end of the shoot he'd go to a hotel and eat three course meals. Plus Bear had camera crews and producers on board behind the scenes. But Les, he was ALONE! Les operated the cameras and directed it himself. He's very knowledgeable, he is so freaking smart, he is just pure skill, while Bear was just a show off, trying to be a showman. Les Stroud is just awesome! I think I watched every Survivorman episode growing up. I learned so much from Les and still recall things from his show that I could use in different scenarios. Many tried making survival shows, but none were like Les Stroud, the Survivorman!

So glad I was able to find these. Les is the man.... someone who depicted REAL survival techniques instead of stupid students others would perform before retiring to a comfortable camp or Holiday Inn....

I've learned so much from each and every episode wow. What he said about keeping your mind together and positive It's vitally important. Not panicking and thinking out clearly. I love what you said about being lucky..... All fishermen know that.

Been binge watching these episodes!

You should do another series of survivorman! three seasons is not enough!

The torture that Les subjected himself to for the sake of the video is admirable.

I waited for each week's episode like they were "Live" & I was going to miss something! It was a magical time!

Love this show and this is a great episode!

Remember watching this as a kid

Making a fire without gas, needs at least a hour of prep before even trying to light it, Les taught me that and my own trials have confirmed this

About 2 years ago I was on a deployment in the Phillipines for the US Marines. We where just waiting around and I saw these leaves and thought, "Hold up, these look familiar." Started chewing on them, then BAM nutrition. Turns out they where these same leaves from an episode of Survior Man I watched way back when I was probably like 6 years old. It didn't save my life or anything but it was something amazing I could show off to my boys. Thank you for the knowledge Les, it's incredible how something so trivial yet life saving could be taught and remembered many years later.

BIGFOOT!!! You were being watched in several spots.... love this 1 Les :)

Very thankful for all the content Les! My wife and I really enjoy watching your shows and have certainly sparked an interest in learning survival skills.

He had me when ranking Jeremiah Johnson as his favorite Hollywood survival film. (Saw it at 13. Been smitten ever since.) Hands-down the most complete modern American outdoorsman of the modern age!

🗣I spent a lot of nights out in the bush in Alaska and it was the screams in the middle of the night that made me Clutch my rifle💯
