How could you possibly survive? With no support crew and operating the camera himself survival expert Les Stroud tackles that question as he tests himself in the toughest types of wilderness ranging from the desert to the Arctic. Among his adventures he battles life-or-death situations - the aftermath of a winter plane crash abandoned in the mountains lost at sea and much more.

 Rating: - BE PREPAREDI THINK IT'S STUPID TO LEAVE THE COMFORT AND SAFETY OF HOME WITHOUT SOMETHING IN YOUR POCKETS OR CAR THAT WILL GET YOU OUT OF A JAM. EVEN IF IT'S A SWISS ARMY KNIFE AND KEY CHAIN FLASHLIGHT. A GOOD "SURVIVAL" KIT WOULD BE A SPACE BLANKET, FIRE STARTER, WATER FILTER STRAW, NIGHTSTAR SHAKE LIGHT, A 32 OUNCE BOTTLE WITH SOME CHLORINE TABS IN IT AND A WHOLE PACKAGE OF "ENERGY BARS". LIGHT WEIGHT, COMPACT, DURABLE AND VERY HANDY IF YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE SCREWS UP AND YOU ARE "OUT THERE"... NOW ... Read More Rating:  - Learn from Les' mistakes...I would have given this 5 stars, except that as I watched 9 episodes over 3-4 days, it became depressing. Also, I realized that Les took unnecessary & not recommended risks for the sake of "the show", i.e. hiking into the rain forest in Costa Rica instead of staying safely on the beach; leaving his relatively safe plane crash site & trying to hike out; trying to raft out of the Ofeefanokee Swamp amidst gators, snakes, etc. instead of staying on somewhat dry land & shelter; & generally, trying to "walk ... Read More Rating: - Informative and entertainingCongrats to Les Stroud for spending many days and nights alone in rough conditions. He films himself so he is truly alone in many places. The episodes range from extreme terrain like desert, snow, jungle to forest, ocean. Of course much of his survival depends on native flora and wild life. Even if you are in similar terrain his tips may not always be applicable. Of course I would hope that I'm never in a situation where I must use the techniques he teaches. It would mean I'm alone in a terrible place. ... Read More Rating: - Good info.This is just the type of show I was looking for. A real person shows you how a real survival situation would need to be handeled. There are a very few bad pieces of info but he usually brings them to your attention.Great show. Rating: - I LOVE LESI LOVE LES in these videos. I used this material to teach my students about basic survival skills. Some of my boys got really enthused about trying out some of these tactics on our end of the year field trip. I have no doubt that if one of them gets lost they will know what to do to survive!! I highly recommend these to anyone interested in the outdoors or who even remotely may be at risk for getting lost! |
