It was crazy to discover how that culture had become impure and it's good that you exposed that. It's rare to come by many true "spiritual warriors." Great series thanks for sharing on youtube.

Catholicism is based on evil, roman Catholics hijacked the teachings of jesus, do some serious research, jesus literally called the roman fake jews that killed him a den of vipers and human feces is apart of alot of satanic bs! Satanism is there on that mountain because they need to destroy the truth🤨 Most all are ignorant of the tricks of evil, I am not! I took a bullet to the heart and died and came back, I could see the mockery as you could Les!

Sorry, but what culture isn't "impure" ? Everything is influencing everything. Culture is not something static, it's ever changing. Your culture isn't the same as it was 150 years ago. The Incan culture isn't the same as it was 500 years ago. Some old traditions go, other new traditions come. It never was any different in human history. Also define "true" spiritual warrior... i bet it's quite a subjective definition. It's the same with shamans i think...there are all sorts of pseudo-shamans with their drum circles and so on, and there are proper shamans living old traditions & connected to nature. Both call themselves shamans though, good luck finding the "right" one.

Wow, I can honestly say I was feeling the same way you were Les, extremely disappointed in the ending. However, watching this has taught me some things I never knew about myself, and also has made me learn why I do and feel some things that even I didn't fully understand until now. Simply put, it made me feel my connection to Mother Earth and the places that are sacred to my people. Thank you for making me understand this, Brother.

They did not want you to partake in the secret ancient sled ride down the hill

Wow, what an amazing journey. How do you even begin to go about setting something like this up. The logistics seem mind boggling. Decide on a place to visit, find a tribe willing to accept a stranger, agree to guide said stranger 90 miles through the mountains. During the trek they will preform ceremonies bringing him into their group, their family. Once the stranger completes the journey he is then...one of us. Then there’s myself, not being able to figure out what grocery store to go shop at tomorrow.😳 Amazing as always Mr. Stroud! I

Another great episode Les! Also so evident that the old ways are disappearing all over the globe. Sad to see when it’s own people are partially to blame. Thankfully you are getting to experience and capture a lot of this before it’s gone forever. So many miss the importance of tradition, and keeping the old ways respected.

It's absolutely terrible that entire journey summed up to being whipped while kneeling to the catholic cross. How do they not see how foolish this is?

It’s not foolish if you are a Christian. The center for their religion is a man being tortured to death on a cross. Thats what they are acting out.

Thank you for sharing Les very interesting loved watching as I do all of your adventures

You sweat you die seemed cliche until i rewatched pilot of survivor man. What a legend les.

Les, this is perhaps my favorite of the beyond survival series. The Andes mountains are breathtakingly beautiful. The indigenous people of the Andes have kept in touch with the ancient ways of living despite the addition of the Catholic religion. A shame, but that is simply the way of things. Thanks for making your videos available to us.

I am only 25min into the video and I am just so impressed, how respectful and humble you always are with these cultures and I love you for that Les. Thank you so much for taking on these tough tough journey's that even if not successful will elevate your spirit and bring you closer to what for most people has been lost for decades. HUGE respect and love from Alberta!

These have made my kids very interested in survival. All their gifts for the holidays we camping and survival gear. They just made fire with a flint stick and I got us all bow drills. It's been 18 years since I was taught how to use a bow drill and it took 2 tries to get fire (about 1 minute). They were so impressed and in awe watching me do what you do.

Les, you have lived a beautiful life and thank you for sharing it with us. I dream to live a life like you have, and I’m doing everything I can to make it happen. We are gathering money to move from the area we are now with no natural landmarks. Just plains, we are going to move to a mountainous area and I’m going to get trained in survival tactics and mountaineering by a professional and I’m going to pursue a life like you have. I can only hope to be able to accomplish it. Thank you again les.

Les is a true pioneer. He does an amazing job being very open and always focusing on the positive sides of the people he meets. He is also representing the West from its best side. Truly amazing

Keep em' coming Les, you are doing a great job. Happy new year

Thank you Les. Always something interesting, like so much your aproach, the way you deal with all the rituals ans stuff. great. Cheers

You fought / wrestled well that was so cool to watch. And be apart of a different culture. Good man. Thank you for the content. Happy New Year.

Beautiful. Thank you Les. Your work inspires those with the consciousness to listen.

Les, the best way to handle the thin air at higher altitudes is to be conscious of your breathing. Always making sure to take in big full breaths, and exhaling less air than you take in per breath. This will alkalize the blood, increasing the body's ability to carry oxygen. The technique takes a bit of practice but it does work. It's a very healing technique even at sea level when done properly. Just something to think about.

Absolutely love this show!! Hope you release behind the scenes making of and extra footage!

Les, you traveled a long and difficult journey, you participated in all of the sacred rituals, but at the end, the crucial point, it seemed like you were forgotten by the High Priest. Where was he? I felt very sad for you. You maintained so much poise, yet you were sad.

i am so enjoying this series. all of your offerings are just stellar. thank you 🕊

Thanks again Les

It's no wonder they did not want you to film the ritual at the end there. Imagine if you went back without knowing. Sincere blessings.

In nepal they call me Kin-tan-tee which means noble man who is loved by many animal, who in time he loveth too.

Phew, Im worn out and cold just from watching what you went thru. WOW.

Right on Les your the man!!!

I feel sad to see politics is destroying their way of religious worship. It was only when the mayor found out that it was Discovery channel and its host that he was all smiles and welcome. You can hear the frustration and anger in Les's voice. If only they would have kept with the old ways.

This is awesome

These people are nuts !!

It saddens me to see the slow disappearance of the old ways here. The connection to mother Earth seems tainted and something that was once a spiritual awakening for those who journey has been soiled by a sort of commercialized catholicism. A shortcut to bypass a pilgrimage that started centuries ago to honor, respect, and become one with our earth. Les, forever hold what you experienced in your heart and soul, for your journey, the emotions you felt, the sights you saw here was what these ancients intended. Not many will experience this.

Man, the Spanish brought that with them in the 1500's. Why do yo think they speak Spanish in South America Central America and Some of North America? This is older than toxic emissions that started climate change. The Spanish are to blame for most of this mess in the Western hemisphere. They sold my ancestors too.

Just watched this on the NYC public access channel and had no idea you were shooting video still, amazing. You are the pioneer and the real deal.

That was so powerful Migwech 4 sharing ✴️❤️🍁

You are the man!!! Happy New Year Guru!!!

If you study the history of how the Spanish systematically worked to eradicate the andean spiritual ways, then it's not hard to understand why the ritual has taken on this aspect. Its admirable and incredible that there is still so much trace of the old ways as there is. And earth based religions sometimes have to adapt to new climatic conditions but that doesn't mean that the original meaning is lost. Cutting the ice itself is not the whole point, its the deeper significance, intention and symbolism of it. I agree that Christianity has altered much of the andean ways, thats lamentablemente but a fact. I would like to see the people remove the christian aspects but thats for the bearers of the andean ways to decide.

so amazing

I hope Les at least includes becoming an Ukuku in his LinkenIn entry. (I don't expect he got a diploma.) That will give him the cred he needs for hyping BigFoot (tm). I'm sure Pithecanthropus will understand he couldn't cut a chunk of glaciers.

Great series 👏👌👍

They lost their ways.... What a shame. That Christ rock was pretty cool though!

Ur journey is a long one aitame neopacta ur time will come Bai nato

Awesome

I like that you show how the kill is made. As a city person it shocks me a bit. I like it though, because it shows me where my meat comes from (or rather, where it should come from) and how precious it is. I believe people are way too out of touch with this kind of stuff and that everyone should experience (in some way) how a kill is made. So that they may respect what they eat and the life from which it came.

This ended up more kinky than i was expecting..

Lmfao its like they jumped him into their gang 38:15

Wow just like the end of a twisted Hollywood movie....to be continue
