Bear Grylls and Les Stroud do similar, but otherwise completely different shows. Bear will bring a water truck into a dry bit of desert just to create a quicksand hole. He will say to the camera that he and the crew have constructed it with the purpose of showing you how to escape one, and he'll go on to say how rare such things are. He'd still keep himself and you alive in almost any survival situation. At the end of the day both shows are fiction, pure entertainment with the bonus of some outdoor life hacks thrown in. Neither show could seriously prepare a beginner for a survival situation

The best is back. Les Stroud is hands down one of the best Survival Teachers you could hope for. Not because he is all knowing, but because he is eager to help you learn. That’s a sign of a truly wise person.

As a kid once when camping my friend and I almost died in a bunch of mud like this. We thought it was kind of cool we were sinking. Until we were chest deep. Lucky for us I was noticing how movement changed progression. I told her to lay on back as relaxed and slowly as she could and kind of help herself float to the top. And to use the sticks around us to help stabilize ourselves. I was thinking if we used sticks to make almost like a raft no matter how tiny the sticks, when put together made a little platform so to speak to push ourselves on. We were able to get out of that area but slow movements and laying on our backs with longer sticks under us. It felt pretty amazing to get out of something so dangerous with no knowledge or training. Just sensing what to do.

I love how nice he is to the movies and the movie makers. He pretty much always gives them the benefit of the doubt, and acknowledges certain things are there for the movie, and doesn’t think they’re dumb because of it. It’s good that he’s a filmmaker too.

Les didn't stop talking between these uploads. It's all been live

The critters in the overhanging trees reminds me of what my dad told me: he was a Viet vet and was stationed in Saigon, didn’t really see much of the jungle, but was part of the urban conflict BUT he always said that the first rule of mustering up in the morning was to take your boots, turn ‘em upside down and give them a few good whacks on the sole to shake out snakes, mice, rats, tarantulas and scorpions. Even if you made sure that they were upright before you went to sleep, their COs would yell at them for not performing that little ritual in the morning.

I could listen to this guy talk for hours. Just let him tell his stories, and explain survival situations for a couple hours. I'd be all for it. He kept my attention back when he did Survivorman, and he hasn't lost his touch in that respect lol.

Now for Les to release the other seasons of Survivorman on his KZread channel. We need it! :)

Keep having Les on. He is amazing to listen to and time flies

I can never get enough of LS. I still talk about Survivorman to this day, regularly.

The background "music" was hard to drown out. Les is great as always though

Les is such a legend. I would love to meet him some day.

I could watch him do this all day everyday

For anyone curious for an example of his leadership point, look at The Thing. Mac takes leadership even though he wouldn’t be the leader normally.

One of the biggest problems with finding fruit in the jungle is that the monkeys and apes get to it long before it falls to the ground. One of the good things is that if you're there when the trees are fullest, they often drop it after eating only half of it.

I like how he mentioned Lord of flies that book is probably the most imagery I have got out of a book. Really made me think. Movie is okay.

I love this guy’s delivery. He has a wealth of knowledge and he’s a really engaging speaker.

Being awake for long time can cause the hallucinations as well. It was something we were very aware of and we would talk about sleep deprivation before some of the bigger battles my unit was in during the Iraq war. The ability to compute small equations 4+4 etc is degraded after just 24 hrs. and gets worse in just a short amount of time.

Sleep deprivation is the worst.
