My science teacher from grade 7-9 would play these videos when he was too hungover to teach

*Me at 12 years old watching Survivorman, eating out of a half gallon tub of ice cream.* "I could probably survive."

Imagine if he did this now all he would need is like 2 go pros at max and a tripod instead of 55lbs of camrea equipment

”Im a frostbiten Canadian boy”😂

I can’t even imagine the misery of trying to wait out a night in the hot jungle full of insects when you’re already so worn out. Seeing that really made me appreciate my nice, unmoving bed haha

Can we just stop and appreciate that this man, in the life and death serious business of survival in the outdoors.... has Scooby underwear with hearts. No matter how serious your life or you yourself are: it’s good to have a fun side, adds balance. Edit: I wrote Scoopy 🤦🏽‍♀️

You know les is a smart guy, not with the survival skills, but the fact that to this day he can release these for free without some company holding him back!

I was Infantry in Panama for 4 years and yep; the jungle is hard. I worked in Deserts, Mountains, Forest and Arctic and the jungle was by far the hardest.

I love how annoyed Les was over the pens.

I watched Survivorman throughout most of my adulthood. Les used to look older than me….Now he looks younger. 😂

"And 3 pens... for whatever. Write down my sorrows or something." 😂😂😂😂

"I hate sand, it get's everywhere" Now we finally know where that line truly originates (6:45), and it finally makes sense!

I went to Costa Rica almost 10 years ago and we went on a night hike in the jungle. We were all so scared because there's so many unfamiliar things there, meanwhile our guide was talking about how he visited the US and was terrified of the woods because of bears lol

Les, you should market a food snack called "oh man, that's good!". I always feel the sincerity in those words when I hear them. lol

"My scooby doo underwear" Lol I always liked this guy.

coconut has never seemed so tasty in my life

THE ORIGINAL survivor dude!. Les is the real deal. No comfy hotel to sneak back to after filming. This guy actually lives it. Respect

I can’t believe you went out and did this with an infected toe. Truly committed, haha thank you so much for the uploads!

Am I the only one who smiles all big when Les gets a meal and goes "Mm that's good"?

22:40 I really appreciate that Les says this and makes it clear that, while the show is intended to be educational, they are still trying to entertain the audience, which is why they set challenges like having to find your own way back to safety. If there's one thing you should almost never do in a real survival situation, it's try to self rescue. Only if you KNOW no one is looking for you, or if you have no other choice, should you try. Normally, your best bet is to stay put and do everything you can to make your presence known to anyone that may be in the area.

Is it just me or does this episode come off as more intense than others? Maybe it’s because this is earlier on in Les’s Survivorman career, but you can feel his stress in this one (especially during that first night in the jungle). It’s interesting comparing it to the last episode, where he stays out in another jungle. He says “In the jungle you just have to get used to the fact that things crawl on you at night”. It’s as if it all comes full circle. Whatever it is, this is the episode that made me realize that Les is really out there. Like I actually realize that his in a dangerous environment and could potentially die. The viewer knows that Les survives, but he doesn’t know while he’s filming.

The coconut is literally God’s tropical survival kit -electrolyte water -flesh “the apple” -oil (sunscreen, teeth, tools, lubricant) -fire tinder (husk) -cup/bowl -slitted sunglasses (Aleutian style) -thatched bag (husks) -reverse twisted cordage

Man these episodes really take me back to when I was a teenager watching these with my family... Thank you for your generosity in posting these! Always loved your videos, could watch them over and over again.

The more of these shows I watch the more I feel like I'm in a survival situation. LIke today when I was cutting the grass I saw some reddish blossoms and I thought I wonder if that's edible.

Let’s not forget about Les surviving Joe Rogan and Brian Redban

watching les spend that night in the jungle gave me chills

This show makes me appreciate freshwater

I was looking for this show a few months and wasn’t able to find it anywhere, now I get to binge it here. Thanks for reviving my old favourite show Les.

This one really tested Les, he wasn’t happy 🤣

This was a rough episode. That first night in the jungle is the stuff of nightmares

You know I would really enjoy some gear designed by Les. Not just small survival items but bushcraft /outdoor line of gear. I think he would have some great input with his experience

I love your shows! Even as a kid, me and my friends would go to the woods behind my house and "Survive" for two-three days. Being older I realize that real survival ain't fun, but you definitely impacted my youth

Things want to crawl all over you..........This is why I have always said that the most terrifying time in Earths history was the Permian era. Bugs 2-3 feet long in huge jungles and forests. A human wouldn't stand a chance for 2 days in that time period

25:50 "My friends know that if I go silent, I'm really hurt." --Les Stroud, from the GQ "Breakdown" video released yesterday (6/25/20)

Les has always had the biggest 🎾🎾 when it comes to survival shows. Being alone in these kinda places would really give me a run for my $

Anyone gonna talk about the speedy ghost bug at 29:56

Favorite survival show. Imagine how much less camera gear he could get away with now...little gopros for a couple hundred bucks can have the same video quality as his heavy gear did then.

I can't believe he caught that fish much respect

I was lucky enough to do a one month Outward Bound backpacking trip in Costa Rica. One night my tarp/sleeping bag setup happened to conflict with the path of an army ant colony. Boy was that fun

LOL "I'm gonna have a word with my producers, when I get home...let me tell you" - That made me laugh so hard.

This episode was, and, is one of my all time favorites.

This Costa Rica episode is one of my favorites of all time because there were stuff crawling on him right at the outset and he responded the same way all of us would if we were sitting in pitch black and couldn't see wtf was crawling on us and I like how he tried to pick that tree trunk as a place to settle down but everything is crawling on him at that point so hilarious and horrifying...lol

His demeanor and dry sense of humour was always one of my favourite parts of Les's personality 😂😂 "I'm not going to eat the head. Dont ask me why, I just dont want to eat the head." 🤣🤣

Les at the end when you said “I’m looking forward to some snow” I felt that. Last summer we had record heat in Illinois and I was outside all day everyday. Regardless of hydration I kept succumbing to heat exhaustion and heat stroke a couple of times. This winter I’ve been appreciating the cold and dreading the heat to come!

I remember watching this when i was 7 years old, has inspired me to do so much, thank you Les :)

I appreciate the genuine survival stuff Les provides much more informative realistic vs fake Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls

Costa Rican here! ✌️ I remember when this episode came on TV, watching you thrive and survive in the jungle and do it with basically no equipment, was a total and major respect. Great to see it again after so many years, you are awesome. Pura vida ✌️

Now THIS is a REAL one-man show!

Thank you so much for uploading your older seasons onto here I haven’t been able to find them to watch since the hard drive on my computer crashed I had them downloaded and watched them constantly while I was in the Military

Glad I found this show again! Used to love watching it when I was younger, and it's still awesome now!

This seemed like one of the top roughest episodes for les

"...snakes, and peccaries, and 'jag wires'."

Back in college (Colorado) we had to do field work about a mile from where we parked the cars. About half-way there was a little creek. I would just lay down in it with clothes and boots on. By the time I would get to the site I would be completely dry - that always amazed me. Probably not the boots - but they never bothered me. Thanks for a great show and bringing back some of my own memories. (Which thankfully don't include huge spiders!!)

We appreciate every second of material released! Thank You less ✌️ Another awesome video! 👍😊

cant believe you put all these episodes online, you are amazing!!!

Thank you so much Les for uploading these episodes!!!!

I used to watch this dude when I was like 8 or 9 on cable TV. Its great to see he still gets the respect he deserves. I mean, the bigfoot stuff was dumb but he's still a survival genius

Thank you Les Stroud, going to watch everything you post 100x

One life baby! Man you are truly living yours Les.

Lol I always find it so amusing when les is dealing with shitty situations like bugs, rain, ect. He takes it like a man for our viewing pleasure. Love les

“Sand is a real irritant, it gets into everything” Anakin Skywalker vibes lol

Man this is great thanks for uploading during these times

I've been watching his shows for the last 20 years Hands down the most intriguing survival/wildlife show there is no one touches Les Strouts

Anytime you’re feeling hungry, hot, tired, run down, miserable…….just think back to the arctic episode…you’ll feel better almost instantly.

Yes thank you les! I still watch this show all the time

love that your Canadian always have, if you can survive a Canadian winter out in the bush you can survive anywhere

The man who started it all . Wicked Les.❤

Nice macguyver trick with the Scooby-Doo

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

If you guys ever want to expiriance a great tasting food then spend days with out it

I always forget this was from the tele so I am constantly pleasantly surprised when he isn't like everyone else on youtube with the whole "whats up youtube it's your boy Les here and here I am with a new survival situation" and the "if you want more make sure to hit that like button and subscribe"

Oh wow... my most very favorite television program of all time right here.

I'm so stoked you are sharing the episodes for us to watch during all this. I haven't seen these since I was kid so many memories! And hilarious and helpful commentary thank you Les 🤘🇨🇦

Thanks for putting these on here. When the world gets to chaotic I put one of your videos on and it helps to simplify life. Are my basic needs met? Yep, thankful and carrying on 😊 On another note, I watched all these when they first came out and have used many of your survival teachings to get me out of jams, both while wandering around Ecuador for a few years and while at work as a landscaper in Eastern North Carolina.

Is it his official? This dude started the he r ality survival genre IMHO. Support him!

“Sand is a real irritant it gets into everything “ what cake to my head when he said that “I don’t like sand it’s course, rough and irritating and it gets everywhere”

You're the best! Thank you again! Gonna binge watch all of them!

Love all of your past episodes and all of your new content and videos!! Keep it up Les!

First time ever watching Survivorman and it happens to be right when Lee uploads the full episodes to KZfaq, with that kinda luck id breeze right through a week

Very fond memories watching this show with my grandfather. He always found it hilarious when you would express how good food tastes 😅

Wow i have had many coconuts, but never knew about the spouting ones

Every time I hear the intro music it makes me giggle because it sounds like the words are “tickle tickle tickle “ 🥳

I had to stay one night in the amazon jungle, alone with no fire, no gear but my pocketknife. Being alive had never been so terrifying.

Ever been accidentally rescued early?

Thanks so much.

You make me feel like I’m 12 watching discovery channel again. Thanks Les

I live in Costa Rica and my dad used to go hiking for weeks and this was 30 years ago and from the story’s he told me like finding 50-70 foot waterfalls and some of his friends jumping of them.

Big fan. Thanks a lot for uploading the videos. The Scooby Doo underwear is a funny touch..

Loved survivor man, I love your KZfaq channel. I love that you tell it as it is. If it's tough you say it is, but you teach good lessons that could save lives. I'm soaking up your wisdom, Less

I just got back from Osa, and it really is that nuts. It's just packed with life. Impenetrable forest. It's beautiful, but definitely a deadly place to get stranded. What doesn't quite show here is how hilly the jungle is. You can't just walk through it in a straight line. Everything's a big, treacherous hill. It's impossible. You're definitely better off staying on the beach and picking a direction. It would be a strenuous, scorching hike, but you'd get to a house or something in at most probably 30km. There's also a lot of boats, so that gives you a decent chance too.

I'm a coconut! "NUT" you're making my mouth water.. . My dad was a Woodsman of the world!!! As well as all of our relatives!!! I was six or seven when he brought home the first coconut I never seen!!! Didn't like it then! but I love it now.. .

Man, i remember watching these with my dad when they first came out. Whats fascinating to me (besides all of the badass-ness of Les Stroud) is how much camera tech. has improved in such a short amount of time. I mean, check out that underwater camera lol and think about the newest go-pros now. Just crazy.

I'd kill to see him one do one last episode for fun. After the Covid 1-9 Joke episode I realized how he hasn't lost his touch and is still just as entertaining and endearing, so to see him do one last episode would be killer. If not then I totally get it, I mean reliving all these episodes for free is a gratitude I cannot express in words. Thank you, Les

Costa Rica is stunningly beautiful.

Imagine the confidence in ones own abilities that builds with each journey. Les created an life of confidence building and skill building and we all get served by it because he loves to teach.

This is the only time i ever seen les bitch and wine when plans didnt fall into place. I believe he felt this was going to be like vacation. Then things went to hell

The night footage of all the bugs moving around is exactly why I'm scared of traveling and visiting places that aren't a very urban city. *shudders*

the first 3-4 seasons i pretty much know the dialogue by heart, rewatched em bout 100 times back then. glad theyre here

Wow, I can’t believe how young Les was here !

THANK YOU!!! I appreciate you posting your work for free. You truly care about passing on knowledge. (I know he gets ad revenue but still, this used to be on T.V and now we can watch it without paying)
