The active ingredient of the Betel nut is arecoline, a stimulant alkaloid (among others that are present) that stimulates the release of adrenaline, thus giving the numbing and euphoric sensation, and also gives a similar effect to nicotine due to its structure, hence the buzz feeling. It's crazy to know that an estimated 10% of the world population chews these all the time. Big props to Les for trying this!

I live in Hawaiʻi, where recent migrants from Micronesia chew betel nut in almost this exact same fashion (a lot of people even grow areca palms in their yard). Out of curiousity, I tried it once in my late teens when I was still too young to buy alcohol or tobacco, and it gave me mild lightheadedness in exchange for chewing one of the most bitter substances I’ve ever tasted. That being said, I can only imagine what it would be like to chew it after multiple days on an empty stomach.

Then of course there is that whole scene surrounding the girls that sell it... :-/

You really have to admire this guy. No pretense. No exaggeration or at least minimal exaggeration. And he does it alone with no real backup or protection.

I used to watch SurvivorMan as a teenager with my father before he passed away and I’ve always admired you. I spent years practicing survival skills before I went into the Army & still do practice survival skills when I have time my wife always wonders how I know all these things & I always give myself credit but the true credit due was a childhood of watching SurvivorMan & admiring such a amazing person such as Les Stroud. Thank you for a amazing childhood memory with my father it made our evenings each week

That ending monologue was really inspiring.

Les, you're a tough man, Hewa is the edge of PNG jungle. I totally agree with your confession that PNG jungles is more primitive then most. PNG jungle is unique very hard to survive. Especially with the rain, limited edible vegetation/plants to gater and hunt in a jungle where only marsupials on ground with birds way up on the trees. Les, you just did it!! You have just conquered the jungle of jungles ..Iam a local man and I admit you are just a raw survivor..you make me proud!!. Keep surviving!!...

The sing sing combined with the commentary had me in tears wirh goosebumps all over my body. Felt very special .

Honestly, that bit where the two guys approached you with machetes in hand was the scariest thing I've ever seen on survivorman. No joke. Animals don't scare me. Nature doesn't scare me. People scare me.

That shit you said at the end was deep bro. Hit me right in the feels.

Les: "Oh, what's this? Instructions... on how to survive. Excellent" That line is every bit as funny as when I heard it on it's first US airing. Master of Snark, Les! Btw could you please do a commentary for this one?

This was always my favorite episode. I found it heartwarming when the villagers returned and invited Les to a party.

No survival show can ever or has ever beat survivorman less..its so nice not to see less run threw the wilderness like an idiot or walk around the wilderness barefoot and struggle to survive trying to say i walk barefoot all my life im a survivor..no bs from less is why you have loyal fallowers sir..thanks for never changing or feeding youre watchers bs 👍👍😁

Mr Stroud, you are by far the greatest survival teacher I ever had from teens to adult. Thank you.

I’m from Hawaiʻi, and when I was in college me and my college roommate decided to go to the local Micronesian-owned corner store where they sold the nuts. On an empty stomach, the effects lasted over an hour. I can only imagine what it would be like to do it on the verge of literal starvation.

They don't make you trip, the main active chemicals are all stimulants, not hallucinogens. Similar in strength to a higher dose of nicotine. Just has a higher effect on Les because he has little to no drug tolerance. A pack a day smoker would barely even notice the effects of betel nut. (Other than the numbing qualities) It is a very weak drug overall.

"the still kill each other bow and arrow, spear and machete. That doesn't make them savages though" Yes, yes that is exactly what it makes them.

Les, your journey in Papua New Guinea showcases not just survival skills, but a deep respect for the land and its people. Your dedication to authentic, raw experiences is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your incredible adventures with us and reminding us of the beauty and resilience of nature. You continue to inspire countless individuals to connect with the great outdoors and embrace the spirit of survival. Thank you for exploring and sharing your wisdom with the us.

Les would crush it on Alone. I'd love to see him on that show.

Considering he's 60 I don't think he's going to be doing this again

This is a very introspective episode, mostly because you intended it to be the last Surviorman. What made you decide to go back to doing it? Simple adventure lust? Or did you feel you had more to create for these films? I can't wait for the director's commentary for this one.

If I were to hazard a complete and total guess. Les divorced in 2008, same year season 3 originally aired. Whether the filming took place before or after the divorce I don't know, but he would have a lot to think about.

I used to watch these, man vs wild, and early dual survival episodes as comfort binges

Les: "this is the last episode ever" Also Les: posts 2 more seasons.

I miss these so much. I had them all saved on an old dvr & I’d watch them every night.

spent the day in the comfort of my sunny sitting room watching back to back episodes of Les, the poor guy, suffering! :)) He is awesome!

Their giving you that beetle nut was the equivalent of a good friend sharing their "good stuff" with you; Quite an honor, if you think about it. Something you clearly reciprocated by honoring their tradition through your survival experience. Also - What an incredible honor to have been invited to, not only experience, but participate in and film their celebration.

This is such an amazing episode. One of my favorites of all time. Must have been an incredible experience to meet the Hewa Les!

That was a special ending

What a way to make a living... I sure couldn't do it. RESPECT LES
