Hooray! Love this show!
Good deal.
I love all the survival shows, Bear’s, Dual Survival, the husband and wife one which I can’t recall the name, but I do think Les’s is the best of them all, because he’s alone.
Can’t wait to watch.
According to the promo, he’s increasing the time window now to 10 days.
I really really like that show.
A lot.
(the one you’re trying to think of is “Man Woman Wild”).
Fantastic show, I’m sure I’ll watch it, but I can’t help thinking that he’ll pay for what he puts his body through when he’s older.
SWEET!
This guy is way, way better then that phoney baloney Bear Grillis who has a team of experts on-hand to tell him what he can eat and where he can go. And he has a camera team.
Les is the real deal and does the whole show by himself all alone. I’m glad to hear he’s coming back.
Agree, Les is well worth watching, he does it on his own with no crew and when he gets spooked about something, one knows it is for real.
The other so called survival wannabes are so full of BS the stench becomes intolerable.

YES! Finally, a reason to start watching television again!
I like Les and will watch his new show. But I thought he probably had to take time off to recover from malnourishment from never finding anything to eat on his previous series. It got to be a joke around the house, wondering when he’d have to call in the helicopter because he was on the verge of collapsing from hunger or freezing to death. I guess that’s what made his show more realistic than the others, which are carefully scripted and planned.
Good news
It is always fun trying to guess when Bear is going to jump off a cliff into water.
Cool!
So this season he’s going to show us how he can go fifty percent longer without a bite to eat than last season.
Seriously, the only thing I’ve seen on his shows that qualifies him as a survival “expert” is that he has managed to continue breathing despite some really bad decisions.
AH yep, that’s it. At first I didn’t like it, but then it grew on me. It’s one thing to survive, but it’s a whole ‘nother story when you have to keep your woman happy too.
I always wonder how much better he REALLY feels after "getting some much needed energy" from consuming the roasted tadpole it took him six hours to trap.
This type of show (not this particular one) that even once mentions the words "global warming" are clicked off immediately at my home. Sometimes it takes several episodes before "the agenda" is "introduced" on the show (like "Flying Wild Alaska").
Or when his handlers have him drink some piss or eat some maggots. All just for the gross out effect.
Like I said, compared to Les Stroud his show is a con-job.
I like Les and will watch his new show.
Me too. He said he quit because the hardship was getting to him. I surmised from that... Sleeping on the ground, bugs, cold, wet, conditions.
What I think did it was the episode with the panther. I think he scared himself right off of the show, realizing he probably should be dead for his stupidity. If I remember correctly, he left the enclosure, that the natives don’t leave at night, to take a pee, and stumbled right upon a panther. He should have been a meal.
