SURVIVORMAN | Directors Commentary | Les Stroud | Northern Canada

[@virgilflowers9846]

Love you Les! Been a huge fan for twenty years or so, and there’s simply no survivalist on tv, then or now, that comes close to Stroud. Just can’t beat his honesty and knowledge

[@MISNM0]

Check out Ray Mears who was on BBC for over 30 years and still is engaged in this work. Not at all the same format but definitely a must know.

[@virgilflowers9846]

@@MISNM0 yep definitely like Mears.

[@MISNM0]

@@virgilflowers9846 Love to hear that! He really speaks to the side of me that doesn't want my anxiety to increase. I'm SUPER into Stroud because I really do credit him for changing the way I think. Literally within the last few days I was telling someone about Zones 1/2/3 and how, for me, that applies to mental wellness and seeking actionable steps. I truly believe the world is better for Les Stroud being in it and consider myself incredibly fortunate to know of him. He's what happens when you live your calling. 🥰

[@frankgeorgeo8582]

I've seen every episode, every season, multiple times, and Les's struggles and perseverance have really gotten me through some dark times. Probably the best shows on the planet. And i thank him for that. Prayers for all the old crap and quick recovery.

[@dboptom235]

Much respect to your son doing this while fighting cancer

[@vision821k4]

Thankfully everything turned out okay. Les has a really bad car accident, too.

[@davidsmith8997]

I remember thinking Logan was a bit "weak" in this episode. Turns out he was actually being really strong! SO happy to hear he's doing well now!

[@_E_Pluribus_Unum_]

The undisputed king of survival. Invented an entire genre of television. Love these commentaries, hope you heal up soon ❤

[@ginytucker3160]

Les' videos are beyond Awesome! Please continue with your teachings to us all.. One of a Kind!

[@llshallfall]

I wasnt afraid of the dark anymore after watching your seasons of survivorman. Thanks "Dad"

[@firestepper8317]

That creepy sounding music when you both were in the shelter boat during the storm , always makes me think of creepy canada when I hear it. Another awesome episode Les, the count down to Bigfoot is so real now. Although now I wish we had more survivorman and son episodes

[@jayl5032]

To expand on the "holding the branch" tidbit. If you're in real rough bush, and need to crouch under branches, and you're in a line, just call it out. Simply state clearly that there's a possible face/eye hazard. It's especially helpful when everyone is watching their feet due to the rough terrain, or if you have people who aren't used to watching their surroundings carefully. Great video, Les. You're a legend.

[@potato_rae]

WHOAAA thank you so much for showing those x-rays! I love them!!! They look so uncomfortable lol. I'm actually changing careers; getting out of healthcare to go into environmental science. This is the mashup that I love. Have fun, Les, and be strong!

[@chrisolson6629]

Huge fan of your work Les! I couldn't count the number of times I've watched all of the episodes over and over. Thank you for the work that you do!

[@zshep24]

Man, I've got to say, hearing you say there were only 2 Survivorman DC left to do kind of sucked, but I'm so grateful that you've done them. It's like getting to watch the episode again for the first time. Thank you for all that you do, and I look forward to the Bigfoot to start up again

[@Fartfordaze]

Hey Les, you really provided me with strength and ideas when I was low in life. Your work really does change the world, my world at least and I hope things are going well for you and your family. Behind you all the way.

[@jeffsmith1780]

You are simply the best Les! Thank you for all the knowledge. You have helped so many. Have watched for years, will be until you stop. God Bless sir

[@subjectluka4450]

It's so heartwarming to see you and your son out together in the even more heartwarming that he survived cancer. Thank you for providing such amazing material for us for all these years Mr Stroud You and Logan are very inspirational 💗

[@lucyjexy]

Quick recovery, Les, and thanks again for your commentary. Thanks also to Logan, who did a fantastic job in this episode.

[@MyelinGrey]

Another awesome night hanging out with Les! Thanks for doing these commentaries, I enjoy them very much :)

[@User-j63849j]

It is interesting when you ask Logan how he feels about the boat tent, he isn't passive and gives his opinion, but you insist on trying your way. I imagine it can be difficult to feel confident in making a decision when your father is an expert in the way you are. Kudos to you for looking back on it and seeing how you could've done it differently. Thank you for doing these directors commentaries.

[@AwesomeFish12]

I don't do much freshwater fishing but you definitely find plenty of stuff along the coast left behind by campers and anglers. Hammocks, ropes, tent pegs, empty cans, bottles, I even found a shovel once that I kept and still use a little more than 20 years later(I've replaced the handle a few times). As a hiker, I have a "leave nothing but footprints" attitude to nature.

[@Littlebodega]

You’re the OG of survival documentaries.

[@philoz08]

Awesome to catch this "live" Les is the GOAT.

[@Alaska-UK]

Na les the pig on account him eating like one Cody the goat 🐐 cause you don’t hear him eating half the time 😂😂😂😂

[@MR-co2ti]

Shout out to Les....You are an excellent MAN! I have watched your stuff for decades.

[@Maxoftheplanet]

Les, I've been watching survivorman since the early 2000's and you've always been my favorite. The artistic shots you film, the educational information, the no lies and reality of your content, all that truly is special

[@TheDamus]

I just got back from camping in Killbear with my family. I shared a few things with my children I have learned over the years of watching you. Thanks for continuing to bring me such enjoyment and education.

[@anysep3361]

Northern Ontario canoeist here... Can confirm the frying pans and grills everywhere!😂 100% accurate from Les😉

[@sea3363]

I always look forward to a new video! Thanks Les.

[@williammccolpin5967]

Bro you earned your right to be a bit loopy after surgery no need for apologies we are blessed to have you with us giving us outstanding content as always❤ Much love you legend!

[@newcastleman86]

About 1min into the video, I stopped it and said “ Les is going to have a drink, so I need a drink!” Cheers Les with your chocolate beer and my Octoberfest beer 🍻

[@xanthmom9096]

I love your survival book. We bought it a few years ago. Thank you for your videos. Prayers to you and your son.

[@arcooper147]

I'm so glad you are keeping these going. Les, you've done so well. Idk how you are not at 1 million subscribers yet. Keep kicking ass.

[@beachside_Reptiles]

Man I can’t wait for your next Bigfoot directors commentary!!!! Stoked you have 2 more to go

[@TAStormChasing]

Les speaking the truth. Most fishermen leave trash behind. It really grinds my gears being one myself. Some people are so trashy it's pathetic. Thanks for the videos!

[@VGV0]

Enjoy the show! These director commentaries are great!

[@GrooveGazelle]

Father and son bonding moments all captured. Important memories to look back upon . Thank you for sharing with us . Cheers . I live near One of the Rogue breweries. You hella need a sponsorship immediately.

[@pedroferreira4134]

Directors Commentary is amazing. A good survival, plus comments on top!

[@thetwitchywitchy]

Les I would LOVE to see you and Cody Lundin working together in a survival situation, I can’t imagine two better men to teach survival, I watched Survivorman religiously as I was growing up and the only other survival show I ever felt was near the level of yours was the first two seasons of Dual Survival with Cody and Dave. I would love to see you two in a survival situation ❤

[@penchantformadness4032]

You are a pioneer of the craft and the only one I can take seriously. You have taught me a lot. Thank you for what you do. Your drive and passion for all things survival is inspirational to me and it has helped me in life immensely.

[@NewfieOutdoors87]

Hey there brother, just wanted to say I’m a huge fan and I’ve recently received an autograph from you and it’s greatly appreciated 🙏🏼 much love from Newfoundland.

[@andrewwalker7779]

LETS FUGGIN GOOOOO!!!!! Dropping this on a friday night before the long weekend, you sly and accurate dog you Les. Muchas gracias for all the hard work. Also as a long time industry professional, please look into a format for sharing your out takes for everything. I feel like thats another dimension you could capitalize on that we would all love to see.

[@BubbyPlaisan]

Les has always been the cht. Love ya Les. Keep being u bro

[@dano7802]

looking sharp Les, good to see you

[@OilersCupChampz]

Been waiting for the bigfoot series cant wait!!

[@tench745]

I remember watching this one with my roommate in college. We both noted the juxtaposition of "I want Logan to start making some decisions" followed closely by the scene of Les overriding Logan's opinion on the boat beds. We were both like, "Ah, yes, this is why he wasn't comfortable making decisions."

[@beachside_Reptiles]

Sasquatch Sasquatch Sasquatch Sasquatch!!! And the South African dude with the dreadlocks, also Mr. Missing 411. You’re the man Les! Keep it up man

[@NahImPro]

Man I wish I could get David and Les doing a case study once a week atleast

[@donnamiller8780]

No offense, Les, but it seems that at times, you can be a little too critical. Perhaps that is why Logan doesn't assert himself around you as much as he should.

[@philduoos2961]

1:07:15 Logan sounds just like his old man. Explaining what he is doing, and what he will do if things change. Glad he is doing great.

[@Alaska-UK]

This phenomenon is phenomenaly phenomenal 😂

[@jankay8569]

We need these more frequently leslie!

[@normalrickandmortyfanscong4813]

Always nice to see you upload

[@christiansimon6949]

Its gonna be a fast work friday thank you Lez❤

[@ShevenSingh-j2b]

Nice to see you Les, keep it up!

[@Indica0024]

Thank you Les.

[@Nate_Higgins]

Glad you said that about predators. People freaked out when a cougar was spotted in my neighborhood. My dog ended up getting shot, and I can't help but think it was because of someone's ridiculous fear.

[@Wilderness-brothers604]

I got this hammock when it first come out and still;l have after all there's years the best set up

[@g54b95]

I found a Weber Smokey Joe in the woods once near an alpine lake 20 years ago in the Rockies. Missing the grills, but that was a $16 fix. It's sitting out on my patio right now.

[@FlintSparkedStudios]

That cabin was so beautiful

[@mattp.2761]

If you were to perform at Sellersville Theatre again, I would gladly buy you a case of that beer. You and Petr put on a great show, and that beer would be just a thank you for the autographs that I have gotten from you in the past.

[@bahamajim1998]

I know the feeling buddy ! Seems like we need to watch every step we take 😂

[@haraldramsthaler2915]

You are an inspiration my man.. I live in BC . Penticton is my home base for the last 6 years. Quesnel,,, Loon Lake,, Kamloops etc in the past. I have found, and packed out so much crap from other people it is sad. We actually, cut our stay short so we could make multiple trips out of the bush with garbage. We even found melted dolls, impaled with big nails on trees. I just really have a hard time understanding the thought prosses of these people when they make that decision to leave ALL THEIR GARBAGE behind, in the most pristine place on earth. Like really?? It was very hard to just get to this place.. What are they actually thinking , and how do they process that ? Like ,,, Its ok,, We will just leave all our garbage in this beautiful place, and it will be just fine.. Like really? If anyone reads this who does these things,, please understand that you are not worthy of the place you defiled. There should be a law that would BAN you for life from EVER going into the wilderness again. Plain and simple,, you are a piece of Poop. Wasting the air you breath!! Sorry for the rant.... Love you Les!! You my friend,,,,,,, ROCK!!

[@ThanatosTheDH]

I would absolutely love to get my hands on some of the left over swag you got laying around! That would be such a treat! 🙂

[@thegoooodgreen420]

Always good content.

[@Westcoastadventurer]

Hope to come across Logan in my travels , also working in Victoria in the hospitals installing medical imaging equipment

[@EtruskenRaider]

I’ve literally had nights where I’m emotionally in a bad place and decided to shave because of Oh, God. The idea of doing something normal to ground yourself is 100% true.

[@mmalandsbirdies4012]

My son-in-law said WTH No one told me the check engine light would come on after 30yoa. Sm.injuries that will be problems in 20 yrs. Much appreciate director's commentary and can't wait for the Bigfoot commentary. 🕊️

[@pinnertoninc.]

You should do commentaries on those 2 pilots. That would be a trip down memory lane.

[@SurvivormanLesStroud]

I did

[@pinnertoninc.]

@@SurvivormanLesStroud I can't find them anywhere on the channel. The 2 episodes are there, but not with the added commentary.

[@16-BITFPV]

​​​@@SurvivormanLesStroudThis channel is a complete clusterfuck of show organization.

[@hemipenes_rvt]

Also your idea of the shelter in the boat is sick, I absolutely love it

[@djstobbe1301]

Great video. 👍 liked the looney tunes 😂

[@johnfromscotland1050]

Les, tell you what brother....grab a beer 🍺 the two of us can sit and talk hospital and injuries, I swear I have been in and out in the last year, they know me that well I'm going to the Christmas party....not been near a docs.or hospital all my life now 54yrs old and everything falls of....😢 brilliant video brother....cheers...👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

Heyyy I'm in Victoria! I bet Logan loves it here

When you said coming off a foot operation, I thought you were gonna say and I’m high off *insert prescription drug here* again. 😂

[@bassventura8813]

Yay!!! You’re the man Les!

[@WedgeK]

Legend!

[@fraudieYT]

LES I want one of the Hennessy Hammocks, but I can not afford those prices, I will be watching and hoping you have one stashed in the garage

[@MambaRebirth]

Lessssgoooooooo 🙌🏾

[@rhyliemasons7957]

My aunt was attacked by a Kodiak bear a few years ago and managed to survive with only large bruises. It was the one day she went out without her bearspray, and thankfully her dogs were able to chase off the bear and also survived. What happened was that there was a couple hiking further down the trail, and the bear tried to run from them. Then he ran into my aunt and attacked probably because it was scared and felt trapped. She doesn't blame the bear since it was just living its life and it just happened to be bad timing.

[@stevemcallister]

Let's go!! 😊

[@Raymond_Girini]

Without fail every time I've gone camping I've packed out twice the amount of trash that I've ever carried in

[@jeffsmith1780]

Sad but true

[@shamussilliker-vz6iz]

Keeper Goin Les!

[@BillyHenderson-l4f]

Awesome video

[@SageCoulee]

Ive found things out in the woods on remote lakes that people wouldnt think, chairs, tarps ect always something left out there. And majority of it is boaters they have the capacity to bring alot out. They just done bring it back.

[@robertreed1720]

Les for body pain I have to say try Cheech and Chong’s chews 🤯 they are amazing and have helped my wife’s arthritis and fibromyalgia more than anything the Docs have done. No joke the Kosmic chews have been a gift from heaven! Idk if they ship to Canada or what the laws are but they are worth looking into! It’s amazing how well they work!

[@KalebStephens-cg4bs]

I live in York Nebraska and have been on such amazing camping adventures but I truly have nothing anymore but want so much to go out with less to teach me another way! Less please select me to learn!

[@MSmith-Photography]

It's not beer. It's a chocolate drink. All good. 🤣

[@SolidStateSoul]

Given how much your feet have been through, those X-rays looked better than expected. Hope you healed up 100%.

[@SevenGC89]

Hey Les any plans to go back on JRE anytime soon? I was rewatching the one from a few years ago and would love to see you back on again! Great video as always!

[@khamen723]

The OG 🎉

[@hemipenes_rvt]

Les, You're recommendations of Bear Attacks helped me feel so much more prepared for trips to Glacier NP and Rainier NP earlier this year. Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting it to be a good read, but I stood corrected. I immediately ordered a copy for my bestie after I started reading it. I also highly recommend it to anyone living or adventuring in bear territory.

[@Rezorcful]

You should look into leaving survivorman play on loop on twitch I see whoever owns Bob Ross episodes has them stream on twitch idk if it would bring in a fortune but it could open it up to a new audience.

[@AngryAuzzie]

Hey les, have you ever been back to the Snowshoes & Solitude cabin since the documentary?

[@billanzell5962]

Will wild harvest season 3 b on your playlist soon?

[@billyjones9734]

Hey I love your Bigfoot episode's need do more shows with Todd standing or talk to Jason kenzie he has contacts that could give you the proof you lookn for a couple his videos had creature's n them

[@buckduane1991]

There is a way to separate the ribs from the fillet of a pike just in the cleaning processes. Learned it in 2009 while fishing near Cave Lake in Nevada. Another lake near there was full of invasive pike even after fish & game had poisoned the lake off three times. After cleaning, we simply made nuggets, rolled them in some cornmeal, and pan fried them. I’ve never had a more delicious piece of fish in my life before or since. Purely wild fish. Flesh just melts like butter when cooked right, and it’s so mild. I honestly feel sorry for people who think walleye tastes better… they’ve clearly either never tried pike before or had pike cut and cooked poorly. Baked, grilled, fried, even poached… northern pike just simply cannot be beat for me. I’ve had a LOT of wild, non-hatchery fish in my life, fresh water and ocean caught both here in the US and overseas… still never found an equal to the pike that night at the Cave Lake Campground, cleaned and cooked by John Wayne Boothe-if you somehow read this by chance, John, I’m always hoping to cross paths again!

[@wyskass861]

I appreciate the logic, of dehydration which will definitely kill you, while contaminated water may at most, possibly make you sick

[@MattConlonGeekDad]

I've broken one of those Camillus machetes. I actually liked it, but batoning it through a log it snapped in the middle.

[@BlackDragonStudios1]

The only thing better then Les talking is Les talking over his own show 😂

[@otisdriftwood3829]

I was going to make a joke about ibuprofen and beer, then realized I've done much worse to my own stomach many many times in my life so I will just thank you for the great commentary instead. 😊

[@monkeyboyjonathan42]

I’m just curious, I don’t recall seeing you eating the two fish you and your son caught later in the episode. I wonder if the footage was bad or not interesting enough?

[@Dankbudzz]

It more deadly going to town than being in the woods with bears lol
