Sitting here watching this, remembering old times, remembering watching this as a kid with all the family, nan and pop, it's almost enough to make you cry. These episodes are precious to me, one of my favourite things in the world.

[@brucebird133]

Agree... if only there were more episodes...

[@WestOzCards]

Best show intro music ever. Change my mind. LOL

[@petebegnell9480]

I hope Les is aware of how treasured these episodes are... A true Aussie legend & content that is every bit as important today as it was when he filmed it..

[@arcagebuttons5987]

Les should be knighted for his work. Aussie legend.

[@SuperRoo_22]

Sir Les Hiddins 👑👍

[@RockSolidInc88]

Love this! I still watch the old VHS tapes from time to time. Showing my age now 😂

[@jannerkev]

Great memories of watching Les . My old Dad and I used to sit enthralled by his series. . I know he's knocking on a bit by now in his late 70s, but would love to see him do an updated version of his shows. And why hasn't he been given a gong or knighted by the Crown he worked fir for so many years. The man deserves it. God bless you sir,

[@sanctuarytimbers717]

Gotta love good old Lez! What a legend! The lady apples come on after the monkey nuts, that’s gold … Hehe.

[@matthewkerley5246]

A genuine outback man, i wish more episodes were made. Well done Les. An awesome dry sense of humour too!

[@Jackie-rc6cj]

This show was ahead of its time. And it reminds me of my childhood. Thankyou for uploading.

[@normasnockers323]

i cant go a day without listening to les chat about the wild many thanks mate

[@jadesmith6823]

Australian legend 🇦🇺🦘

[@justinwood9035]

absolute legend. the mordern day survival youtubers can learn a thing or two from les. entertaining without being extreme or faking scenarios.

[@dampri3182]

Mesmerising, awesome, brilliant. Ahhhh to be “the Bush Tucker Man” thanks Les, you’re a Legend.

[@gaxanuziagain1748]

Thank you for uploading these. It's great to see them again and they just as good today as they were back when they first aired.

[@miniadventureswithmark3309]

“I don’t think it’ll happen too much these days”. 😂🤣😂😅

[@ChrissoMatthews]

You little ripper!! Les is the man, no doubt about it.... absolutely tremendous!!

[@CrispyHulk1]

This show perfectly captured the outback Australian aesthetic. It's a time capsule showcasing our unique identity which is all but lost due to Americanisation.

[@DrRock2009]

Floating down the river on the mattress = legend 😎

[@22burst2020ddsspec]

There's no way I'd do that in the top end, there's gotta be salties in there

[@charlescharliecharles484]

Love these never tire of watching them 👍

[@georgemcaulay6009]

Camera work was lovely there and the musician was great

[@janebrilly4386]

[@yusufsayed2119]

[@kerrierowling9408]

Love these Documentaries... Les do you miss doing them??

[@briancritchley5295]

Oh what a feeling, that made me laugh.

[@werebilbyj4449]

Thank you for adding these episodes, fantastic.

[@SimonWallwork]

I saw on TV many years ago. It still looks good.😀

[@marksadventures3889]

The best of the outdoor guides ever. Les was such a big influence on me as a boy. David Attenborough was the other and of course your own Steve Irwin later on.

[@eurekaelephant2714]

This has made my morning. Thankyou! I would very much like to do this myself, up at the Cape.

[@linacavallaro4066]

Should be taught in all schools

[@johnmathisen1167]

Les is antique hero, but still is miles in front of who is following him

[@JavaSamurai]

Another fantastic ep!

[@bondy284]

[@abcaustralia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JohnRolyAU]

It would be interesting to see how that bomb test site looks 32 years later.

[@Bettinasisrg]

I think it took place in the 1960s so it'd be 50+ years now. Hate that they do stuff like that.

[@StasonSmith]

Legend!!

[@peterbeaumont7619]

Bloody good.

[@jimtekkit]

8:50 The old 40 Series Landcruiser has seen better days.

[@carolynharbottle-jj4rb]

[@Rancid_One]

Migrating Thongs .. fascinating .

[@fishingrod001]

Engrossed then the leadout music starts and I feel a bit sad, wish the episodes had been longer, like an hour at least?! ;)

[@glennquagmire1747]

All that water and no fishing pole , what a shame.

[@devono7230]

The only thing worth watching on the abc

[@rohananker9019]

A question actually, what is his backpack? Any info appreciated

[@bleeper999]

5:59 They use thong material as packing in containers, must have been from a container overboard...

[@Badgerman785]

Mr Australia.

[@pauleverest]

Wonder wear bear grillls got the Heli idea from? Much prefer the real deal…. The OG

[@mauriceclark4870]

Has anyone asked Les what what he thinks. About. Bigfoot. And other. Monsters ? It would. Be. Interesting. For his opinion. !!!!

[@Bettinasisrg]

Can anyone answer why he wears his hat in that shape? Is it just for good grabbing or is there another reason?

[@JamesJones-yj8ku]
