Survivorman

Show Summary

Survivorman follows outdoor enthusiast and survival expert Les Stroud as he is abandoned for a week in a remote location with little supplies (The supplies he is given to use depend on the scenario he is playing out. Sometimes he will play the sceneario of a stranded scuba diver on an island and other he will play a broken down car in the middle of the desert. However, he always carries his Leatherman Multi-Tool and his trusty harmonica.) While stranded in the middle of nowhere Les must document his experience by himself using 50 pounds of cameras and equipment that ranges from tripods, body strap stands, to film all the way to the cameras and the cases that hold them. Each new location presents a new set of obstacles for Les with such diverse climates as the dense, humid Costa Rican Rainforest all the way to the dry, arid environment of the Kalahari Desert in Africa. No matter where he goes he is always alone, always in danger, and always Survivorman.

The series originally ended in 2008. But in the summer of 2012, Les Stroud returned with all-new survival challenges, on a desert island in Mexico and in the cold mountains of Norway.

    sorry, but man vs wild is good for entertainment but it is not legitimate surviving in the wild. it is more 'exciting' because of the film crews that get all the dramatic shots and the producers which make bear grylls do stupid shit that would not be smart to do if u were surviving on your own. Les Stroud roughs it on his own, by himself, and films it all on his own, by himself. Long live survivorman! was so pumped to hear about season 4. and jeremiahwooda, how is having a fishing pole or tackle box not surviving? how many people just go out to the woods with absolutely nothing? i guess a genius like yourself might.....moreless
  • i don't get it

    1.0
    survival? yeah right, i saw him dropped off with an already built shelter next to the water and whined about rain. he also had a fishing pole, a tackle box and it showed a boat there. that's not survival, that's called camping. and saw another episode were he was suppose to be a lost hiker and had a tent and prepared food. come on now. that's not survival either. at least man woman wild and dual survival don't give them tents and prepared food. we go camping all the time and rough it more than this guy does. maybe i should have a show lmao.moreless
  • The babe ruth of survival

    Les has been a survivalist for years. He has written 2 books and also filmed several tv shows and specials including how to survive floods and hurricanes.



    And extrememaggie has it wrong; There is one famous Video where Bear is acting like he may die in Hawaii and there is a highway 50 feet to his right.



    There are several videos on you tube of bear grylls staged and scripted scenes. Bear also has assistants and 2 cameramen as well as a medical crew following him. They say they are made to do that and that's wrong. Les never has anyone.



    Les does ALL his own filming and is still the only person ever to do a show like this without assistance and without any medical crew. he is on his own.



    Les is obsessed with detail. When he ends his quest, of course there are highways and drop off points near him, or he'd never get found. But he is into making it as real as possible and Maggie, you are in the extreme minority on this one.



    You and others may have a crush on Bear; people can be weird that way; but ask any survivalist and Les is the king. This series is amazing and the ratings are always high and he inspires many.moreless
  • its like man vs wild except man vs wild is good.

    3.5
    Man VS wild is way better, plus I was just watching the alaska episode and I saw a car drive by in the background. That is not a desolate location! I smell a rat.



    Isn't he supposed to be in the most remote locations trying to survive? How is that remote if there is a HIGHWAY in the background?



    I used to like it until I saw the highway. Now its just a joke to me. I can't believe a word he says now. I still need fourteen more words in order to complete this review. Now only five, and two more.moreless
