Les, I'm a Texan and grew up wayching your content, I'm almost 26. And these days your content helps get me through life. Your episodes help me with anxiety and the frustrations of life. Because your attitude and just pure authentic personality is calming and real. Can't really thank you enough for being an amazing soul on this planet and spreading knowledge and positive vibes, which is 2 things the world really needs these days. Thanks again Les Stroud.

Bear's tactics would likely get him and certainly the average Joe killed in mere days. After he's done filming his completely irresponsible and dumb decisions, he goes back to the resort and has steak and sits by a pool for the next day (bystanders have seen him doing this while filming an episode). He's not a survivalist by any means. No doubt he was part of a top military program and is an EXTREMIST/adventurer, but not a survivalist. Stroud meanwhile has been a survival training expert for nearly 30 years and trains the military in survival skills. It really goes to show that most people want flashy "OMG WOW explosions!" on TV than anything with substance.

Sweet episode. By the way, I actually had to use a candle in a car for heat overnight. What I came up with was hanging my little frying pan over the candle flame, letting it heat up. Bigger surface area of the pan gave me a decent amount of heat. At least way more than just the candle flame. Actually worked well. And yeah, had two candles the size of the one he has here. Used one at a time, but heating up a larger piece of metal over it radiates much more heat.

Indeed it does work. You can actually keep warm if you have some tea candles, a small (maybe 4" diameter or so?) flower pot (like the little orangish ones) and some tiles. Stack some small tiles/pieces of tile on each side of the candle (all of which should be on a larger tile), and put the pot on top of the stacks, spanning the gap between, and have the little tea candle under the pot. Will heat it up and radiate that heat outwards. Works rather nicely

MrBallen has just told a true story on his channel about a family that found themselves exactly in this same situation on a very remote mountain road in Oregon. It didn't go well for the family, at least not for the father - he was already weakened by lack of food and warmth by the time he left his wife and two young kids in the snowbound car to try to get help. But instead of going back, he went further along the mountain road, tried to make a short cut through the wilderness and perished. His family were luckily found by a SAR helicopter out looking for them and were saved, but the father waited for days on end before he went for help - during that time they had run out of fuel and food and he was physically exhausted even before he left. I would have gone back down the road as soon as I realised that we were stuck and that nobody else was coming along that road, but of course in hindsight that's easy to say.

This is how its always been. He even has to set up the cameras and take them down etc all while trying to survive.

Also; If you are ever stuck in a similar situation in a car, if you have the means, block off sections of the car with jackets or a blanket or some other clothing to create a smaller space whereupon the heat from your body and breath (and maybe the candle!) can have a greater effect. You'll have less cold leeching the heat since the blankets/jacket etc. work as somewhat of insulators. Food for thought

This is a great watch after hearing the story of a family of 4 (Parents and 2 very small kids) trapped in their car on a logging road.

Let's all be honest. When we go camping we bring a full jar of peanut butter now.

It's about drive, it's about power, it's about Les Stroud's Survival.

Watching Les…. Is the most relaxing! F ambien ,,, Les is the best!

Im a 60 yr old grandma. Ive watched Les for years. 4 years ago i made a hike group for kids. We go out in the heavy woods and hike. We do bushcraft and they learn it all and love it. Sometimes the parents will come along but i almost prefer they dont as they helicopter so much. I give the kids machetes knives fire starting stuff. Cooking and shelter building. Wild edibles and first aid. No cell phones allowed unless on silent. These kids are ages 5 to 14. Girls and boys. Im telling you i think they would be out in the woods any day. My husband is at cleveland clinic. A week so far. Last year 55 days. I sleep in my jeep in the parking garage. There are plenty of situations you will need to survive in. First line of defense is not to panic and take stock of what you have. We are too far away for me to go home, and my husband is busy surviving the hospital. Les has taught me so much that I've passed on to my hike group kids. My 10 yr old grandson is quite proficient. I tell him ok we need a fire. He will pick the safe spot, get rocks, tinder bundle, use his flint and steel or one of other ways he knows. Build that fire safely and put the water kettle (that we have filtered) on it. I could go on. My oldest son has a good sized YT channel for the same thing and he came on a hike with us. He was quite impressed. The kids built a very sturdy comfortable bench with natural materials for us to sit on. Thank you Les, for so much!

This definitely seems like the most tense ordeal that Les has gone through. I can't believe some people haven't watched pt2 it's absolutely nail biting.

You should watch him trying to make a fore in simulated artic slush and wind using a giant fan like an airboat would have and water hoses he couldnt get the wind blocked to start a fire. It was very intense and he cried because he failed. That was his mist precarious situation and the entire crew was there. Ive been watching this for close to two decades

I’ve experienced a few stretches of living out of my car through a few winters, so not full winters. Also camped out during winters too. Two cheaper end sleeping bags help tremendously. Good luck, be safe.

Спасибо за видео. Респект и уважение!

i remember watching you as a kid Les, im so happy you kept up with your dream.

Love how he's got some tools in this episode.

The entire Surivorman series is a go-to for me when I want to just put something on and relax. I've watched every episode many, many times. I think the Norway two part is my favorite of all of it that aired on TV.

I love Les Stroud’s shows!!!..he makes these other guys on the other channels look like beginners!!…I personally would like nothing better than for him to be back on prime time again!!..He’s the real deal!

I think one big plus about a place like this is that you don't have to worry about spiders.

One of my favourite episodes along w/ Arctic Tundra. Can’t wait for the Mexico episode as well!

Unforgettable series...

Ive lived in the snow belt of New York my whole life. The first thing my dad taught me about driving in the winter was to never have less than a half tank of gas, keep food (granola bars, trail mix, jerky) water, and blankets in the trunk. Along with a shovel and some kitty litter. Obviously I'm more likely to be found a lot sooner in a populated area, but these tips could save my life if I end up off the road somewhere.

When i lived in Scandinavia i always had a spade, warm clothes, extra food, a fishing rod and standard survival gear in the boot.

If you have to leave your vehicle to seek rescue etc., leave the car unlocked and leave a visible note with your info and intentions.

The joys of the first fire out in the wilderness. The great comfort.

I'm so obsessed with Les! 10 days??? F YEAH!!!

“I used to make my own mucklucks when I ran dog teams.” Straight savage

Great to see your survival techniques again, Les. Used to always watch your show on TV.

I wish Les would quit telling people, "staying put isn't always the best thing to do". I realize that it's more convenient for a survival show but 99% of the time ITS THE BEST THING TO DO. Unless there's an erupting volcano on the horizon STAY PUT! More fatalities come form those who venture away from the "point of separation" than those who "stay put". It's simple...the further you venture from your last known location the harder it will be to find you and the longer it will take...Time is everything when you're lost.

Man, I remember the Norway episodes. The end of Part 2 is what always reminds me to check the expiration dates for emergency supplies when I head out on longer trips.

Remember to trap as much heat as possible without choking the fire, the fire was losing its heat so fast it was unable to heat up surrounding material. Also the soda can did not ignite due to lack of oxygen. When you siphon gas stays low to the ground as possible, hold the hose with your thumb near the end and when the gas is near the end of the hose seal the end with your thumb or crimped hose. Just stay lower than the gas level and when you release your thumb or crimp it will flow. Good luck

this brought me back instantly to 2005... Les, you created this genre now so popular on KZread!!!

Incredibly excited that you have full, quality episodes on here. Takes me back to my 15 year old self

Me too! I'm blown away the whole survivorman catalogue is in HD on KZread by the man himself. Took me 10 years to see every episode.

loved watching survivor man as a kid. Was the best kinda of tv on. Never boring and always informative. Thanks for making such quality and for passing on such knowledge!

I remember messing up my sleep cycle so bad that everytime I was awake all the stores were closed and I ran out of food and this went on for like 10 days. I’d watch these videos but this one almost broke me with how I was feeling.

I have been stuck in snow overnight. I stayed calm because I knew was only like 30 miles up and there were houses about 15-20 miles from me.and could make the hike in the daytime. I was lucky enought to have just enough cell service to let someone know I was stuck and roughly where. Met a buddy a few miles down from me come daylight. And dug out safe. I have learned to add precautions expecily since I am a father now.

I lived a long long time in Norway. Winter time we NEVER drove ANYWHERE without chains, flares, extra clothes, boots, blankets, food and extra fuel.

At 12:41 all I could think of was "Time for a Step 2!" I might of been watching a bit too much Steve Wallis....

I was a teenage in our village in Iran,💕💚 One time my mom said to me, Do not suffocate the fire. I see many people put too much tight wood on a small flame! No oxygen to breath

I remember reading about a US guy who drove off the road in deserted area. He couldn't evacuate because his leg was jammed in car due to crash. He lived over 3 months in car, getting some drinking water, I don't remember how. What saved him was he was seriously overweight. If my memory serves he lost 100 pounds/50kg during surviving 3 months.

I have almost every Survivorman in my cable DVR for years now...watch them all the time. Les created the survivor reality genre single handedly and his shows are the absolute best

Les, this is by far my favorite episode of any TV show in history. I love this two-parter.

So glad to find your channel. I used to watch survivor man all the time as a kid growing up. Used to come home from school and mess around in the woods trying to make shelters from sticks and trying to start fires lol.

Your advice is always the best and most realistic of all the survival shows I have ever seen. So many other ones require some insane physical ability or ridiculous scientific knowledge most people would never figure out. I, like most, could do what you do and that's the most important learning tool.

This is the best episode of Survivor Man hands down. I remember seeing it on TV and have been looking online for it for quite a long time. So glad this one is finally here... That Mountain descent, So Crazy man, crazy!

Les sets the bar high for all other survival shows or KZread vids ..been watching him for years now

The candle only works when you put a poncho or a woobie over yourself like a little room and then light it. The small area inside will actually heat up quite a bit. I’ve used it before when it was -3 F and it worked great.

If you decide to keep candles in your car, get those 4hour tea candles. Not the 6 or 8Hour ones. They burn slower and give off less heat in order to fit in the same size metal cup.
