One of the main reasons that The Bush-Tucker Man became so knowledgeable about the food & water situations of the Aussie Outback was necessity ... after being a decorated soldier sneakin-and-peekin in Vietnam, he was transferred to the fledgling Army Aviation Branch-Rotary Wing... and similar to the ultralight aircraft Les piloted in this ep, BTM was flying all over the Australian Outback in a small, single piston engine, one-person helicopter... with no spare parts and often just enough fuel to supposedly reach his destination. So he knew, there was not only a very real possibility of him going down for one reason or the other, he realized it could happen anywhere, anytime, and there was no Cavalry to mount up a rescue...he could be forced to live off the land for who-knows-how-long. So he forced himself to become an expert in the Aussie Outback and especially food and water.

It was just too physically demanding to do everything, himself, IN TRIPLICATE. Bear Grylls and Cody & Dave have crews with tents to sleep in, food & water & supplies if needed, and vehicles standing by. This guy has himself, his pack, his cameras, and an emergency satphone.

If you decide to go see the Australia outback. Take plenty of water, and if you have enough room, grab 3 or 4 jam lids. What you do with the jam lids is fill them with water, and space then around your camp 20 to 30 feet out. Most times a snake or blue tongue is just looking for water. If they find some. They won’t travel to far away from it. Be safe and only travel before 2pm.

Interesting to watch. The Flinders Ranges, where this was filmed, is my old stomping ground. I’ve spent years hiking through this area. The Wilpena Range in the background has some absolutely stunning scenery, much prettier than what we see here. Wes used to hike for days on end, finding beautiful drinking water in the main creek beds. Nowadays however, feral goats have run rampant throughout the ranges, and the waterholes are now undrinkable, meaning you now have to carry all of your water with you. Luckily the government and landowners are working on reducing their numbers, but I doubt it will ever return to how I knew it as a young lad. Still, it is without doubt one of my very favourite places!

Man, all those flies would drive me bonkers.

I live and work out of Alice Springs- around here we call Witchetty Grubs "Maku". "Malu" is kangaroo, though there are four different words in Arrentre for Kangaroo. There is plenty to eat out there- parenti (a type of monitor lizard), feral cats, bush turkey. For more Australian survival, check out Les Hiddins, "The Bush Tucker Man".

This is my favorite episode of Survivorman, and I've probably watched it a dozen or more times, but I never saw the sheep at 19:39 in the background until now. Find something new every time, lol

The flies don't bite... yeah you got lucky or went to a place they don't. Still one of my favourite eps.

This video certainly made the Australian bush look a lot more hospitable than it actually is. Please don't assume that you'll be able to find this much water or "oases" like this, if you get lost in the outback or what is sometimes called the "Red centre". I think the most important thing he should have said, in what was otherwise a great video... If you break down (Plane, car or motorbike), DO NOT under any circumstances leave your vehicle. If you've made all the right preparations before you left and informed people of your route, time of arrival etc, then someone will come looking for you. If you leave your vehicle and get lost (happens ALL THE TIME, even to experienced people), because it's red and flat and everything looks the same, nobody will ever find you! Not unless someone like Les is doing a TV show five years later and randomly finds your rotting corpse beside all the other rotting corpses at the poisoned Creek. Just FYI.

It's awesome all the old episodes are on KZread now!🙌 Nothing like the OG Survivor Man himself, Les Stroud!💯

Probably the best Les has ever eaten so far, tie with the Artic Char in Artic Tundra.

Used to watch this when I was a kid, really got me into the outdoors. Things like this make you appreciate KZread

Seems to me that oln replayed this episode over and over again cause I’ve seen this one in particular wayy too many times

Thanks for making these incredibly inspiring films, and thanks again for putting them on this platform where I can watch them for free!!

Best survival show ever, and only real one. Les is undisputed in the category.

And your point

it was weird at first to watch this without commercials in the breaks where i knew the big TV channels would put commercials in

I've watched from the very beginning and every time I find a big grub I am tempted to eat it. Maybe I'll try it next time

So glad you uploaded these episodes! Brings me back to being a kid.

Seeing those emu's reminds me of a time in Australia, not too long ago, when the military waged war with them. The military lost. Emu War, 1932.

Man how I wish I could go camping with les. That would be so freaking awesome. Absolutely love your channel man. You’re the one and only true realistic survivalist. Thank you so much for being true to your skills and really teaching us. Much love from Michigan!

I love Les Stroud! While everyone was on the Man VS Wild hype, I was watching my Canadian friend survive 💯

I’m sure others have mentioned it, but the golden rule in the Aussie outback is to never leave your vehicle. If you’ve organised the trip properly, you’ll have notified friends, relatives or authorities of your intended destination and arrival times so rescuers will be out promptly, usually by air. A vehicle and its tracks are much easier to spot from the air. Makes for good tv to just wander off with an EPERB though...

If you watch the Norway episode he talks about how staying put can often be fatal. Unless you know FOR CERTAIN that help is coming and knows exactly where you are. There are other episodes where he stays in pretty much the same spot the entire time, it depends what resources are available in the immediats surroundings. The premise of this show is a worst case scenario.... like a plane crashing. Someone might know your flight plan but the plane could've went down anywhere along it and gone off course during the descent. There are plenty of feasible scenarios where you know help is not going to come anytime soon. In which case you can only stay in the vehicle as long as your water lasts.

@tccscott86

@@barahng Here it can be fatal either way, with the balance of probability for survival favoring staying with your vehicle. Unless you get lucky, you're probably not going to find a water source within a survivable radius from your vehicle. It may be the only source of shade. Search and rescue will be done by air and they're going to spot your vehicle not you. As OP said, its a golden rule for a reason here.

THANK GOD FOR MIRACLES TO keep US ALIVE. i have gotten to use up my wool yarn making a poncho, i had to use acrylic yarn and cotton yarn too to finish. i didnt have enough wool. the small holes in it gave me some air flow and kept me from sweating in it. on the way to the store i walked to. on the way home with my cart full of groceries i did sweat a bit. around the neck. i scarf on too. fun to make first time i made something other than a scarf or blanket.

Les, you have and have had throughout the years all my respect.

Les Stroud is still a real badass and Survivirman still the real deal. Having spent many nights in the desert and taught desert survival, he is spot on that the desert aka arid regions can get very hot during the day and quite cold at night.

Nah he's a kook

Les and Hazen are incredible humans

I've realized from stories that regular people tell when lost. Is that they never realize there in a survival situation until there fighting for survival. When there body starts shutting down and there starving. That's usually when they realize they been in a situation the whole time. Usual to late

You're not getting nearly the views you deserve. Please don't let that deter you. You do many things well, but the thing you do the most well is getting many people to think about their existence and self worth by self examination. I hereby help lift you up to continue.

Well, the awesome thing about Les uploading these videos on KZread is that they will now be here forever. People 1,000 years from how when the world is an entirely different world and half these places he goes doesn’t even exist anymore along with the animals not existing, people will be able to learn from these videos options on how to survive if they end up stranded.

Always loved the “tickle tickle tickle tickle…”

Woo! I just found this!!! Big fan Les. Know lots of people haven't discovered you offering your shows for free on youtube. Super psyched.
