My science teacher from grade 7-9 would play these videos when he was too hungover to teach

Watching survivor man 22 years later. This is like comfort food for the mind.

Can we just stop and appreciate that this man, in the life and death serious business of survival in the outdoors.... has Scooby underwear with hearts.
No matter how serious your life or you yourself are: it’s good to have a fun side, adds balance.

Edit: I wrote Scoopy 🤦🏽‍♀️

Does anyone else watch this to go to sleep some nights?

I can’t even imagine the misery of trying to wait out a night in the hot jungle full of insects when you’re already so worn out. Seeing that really made me appreciate my nice, unmoving bed haha

You know les is a smart guy, not with the survival skills, but the fact that to this day he can release these for free without some company holding him back!

I went to Costa Rica almost 10 years ago and we went on a night hike in the jungle. We were all so scared because there's so many unfamiliar things there, meanwhile our guide was talking about how he visited the US and was terrified of the woods because of bears lol

Imagine if he did this now all he would need is like 2 go pros at max and a tripod instead of 55lbs of camrea equipment

”Im a frostbiten Canadian boy”😂

Is it just me or does this episode come off as more intense than others? Maybe it’s because this is earlier on in Les’s Survivorman career, but you can feel his stress in this one (especially during that first night in the jungle).

It’s interesting comparing it to the last episode, where he stays out in another jungle. He says “In the jungle you just have to get used to the fact that things crawl on you at night”. It’s as if it all comes full circle.

Whatever it is, this is the episode that made me realize that Les is really out there. Like I actually realize that his in a dangerous environment and could potentially die. The viewer knows that Les survives, but he doesn’t know while he’s filming.

Can't believe 20 years later and I'm watching survivor man.

"I hate sand, it get's everywhere"
Now we finally know where that line truly originates (6:45), and it finally makes sense!

22:40 I really appreciate that Les says this and makes it clear that, while the show is intended to be educational, they are still trying to entertain the audience, which is why they set challenges like having to find your own way back to safety. If there's one thing you should almost never do in a real survival situation, it's try to self rescue. Only if you KNOW no one is looking for you, or if you have no other choice, should you try. Normally, your best bet is to stay put and do everything you can to make your presence known to anyone that may be in the area.

Am I the only one who smiles all big when Les gets a meal and goes "Mm that's good"?

coconut has never seemed so tasty in my life

Man these episodes really take me back to when I was a teenager watching these with my family... Thank you for your generosity in posting these! Always loved your videos, could watch them over and over again.

Les, you should market a food snack called "oh man, that's good!". I always feel the sincerity in those words when I hear them. lol

Let’s not forget about Les surviving Joe Rogan and Brian Redban

I love how annoyed Les was over the pens.

You want a role model this is the guy!!
