Les is a real badass and runs a true survivor show. Not having a camera crew and having to film all on his own is hardcore enough. He also makes the show look very realistic instead of other survivor shows that feature the guy doing crazy dangerous stunts for the sake of the wow factor on camera. Les doesnt have time for that. He focuses on actual priorities in survival. This episode is my favorite. By far the most ideal place to survive of all the episodes ive seen. And that feast at the end looked absolutely amazing.

@@danieltorrejon4303 Les has also talked in director's commentaries about the difficulty of hunting and filming at the same time. All of the moving around to set up cameras, talking to the camera, etc. basically alerts everything in the area to his presence. And, if he were to hunt without filming it and suddenly show up onscreen with meat, people would probably call it fake.

I had a snorkeling boat leave me about an hour off the coast of Mexico on a reef. Fortunately they turned around after about half an hour. Not fun. When I finally saw the boat again I pissed myself in relief. Totally uncontrollable and I'm sure I'd have shat myself too if I hadn't before we left. I thought I was dead. And not just dead but that I'd endure physical and mental torture before death. Of course the mental had set in immediately upon raising my head and realizing the boat was leaving me. The Magnum PI episode where he was lost at sea really screwed me up as a kid. It took me a long time to get over my fear of the ocean. And then that happened. Haven't been back in the ocean 25 years later.

What I really love about this episode is that you show us all the different ways to survive, even having a feast of sorts, but you don't take more than you need. You showed us how to handle a booby, and it served its purpose of educating us and feeding you. Later in the week, you know you will be going home soon, so you don't try to take another.

Anyone else always get super thirsty and grab a cup of water when watching these survival shows?

This episode, along with the one he did in the Outback , are my favorite episodes. He was literally enjoying his self on this one and in the Outback, he was making those grubs look like sausage links.

First thing to do: make yourself a pirate outfit

This was always my favorite episode. Thank you Les

“Buckets, not much I can use these for” *10 seconds later* “It’s important to know that you can use anything in a survival situation, nothing is too insignificant.”

The south Pacific has always been my dream place to explore. It must've been a hell of a theater of war to fight in also. All the secret and undiscovered war relics and places that still exist would be fascinating to explore. It's a beautiful yet scary place.

Hopefully, he'll post the 10 Days episodes again. I really liked those.

This is by far one of my favorite episodes. I love watching Les thriving in a survival situation.

Les destroying his harmonica did wonders for my survival as well..

I noticed the the bone necklace around Les' neck. I'm guessing it was a gift from the survival expert that helped Les before making this episode, from one survival expert to another. As well as to bring good fortune during the seven days having to survive. I can only imagine how surreal it must feel to be alone and documenting each survival experience, especially this one.
