Survivorman | Grenada Island | Les Stroud

Les journeys to an active volcano chain found in the Grenadine Islands deep in the heart of the Caribbean Sea. Stranding himself on an uninhabited island called Frigate, Les is left to survive on his own. Discovered by Columbus in 1498, the island has remained untouched by civilization for centuries largely due to the fierce waves that pummel its craggy shores. Scouring the shoreline for edible marine life, Les must work to secure freshwater, build shelter and make fire. While being stranded on a Caribbean island may sound inviting, it is in reality incredibly difficult. Les is forced to eat prickly pear cactus, hunt for bird eggs and even contemplates trapping one of the thousands of turtles that occupy the island. When it comes to survival islands, the island of Frigate offers what all islands do: isolation...of your body, your mind and your spirit. Time away can be a good thing, but this is no vacation.

Amazing how Les started this entire genre of content authentically and had stayed authentic. His work led to shows like Man vs wild and everything else where they would script the entire show and plant props for them to use. The fake content that arose is now what the genre is known for and people that don’t know the origins of Survivorman now call it fake. He’s the original, he’s the one who DOESNT fake the show. He’s even fought with executives who tried to make him lie in his shows to keep it authentic. It’s great he’s on KZbin but the young idiots that yell about him finding the lighter being fake just shows how ignorant some of the audience is. Maybe they haven’t been outside or to an island where trash is common place. How about we address the massive pollution problem instead of falsely accusing Les?

He's also in such a limited situation just by himself, typically with few if any good tools or weapons for hunting and he also doesn't want to do anything too exhausting if he doesn't have to which would cause him to burn too many calories or grow dehydrated. He has to be smart. Big game is pretty much always out of the picture. But as long as nature provides, he usually manages to nab plenty of smaller animals to keep him going as well as various edible plants if he can find them. He doesn't shy away from trying to kill birds from time to time if he can but he didn't go after killing the chick's because wouldn't have been much meat for the trouble anyway and I think he left the turtles alone just because of how gruesome to have to hack into the poor guy while they're still alive for 30 minutes or more in front of a live camera. This guy is not about sensationalism nor brutality, just pure raw realistic survival.

[@MrWeebable]

I love how honest and open this man is. He readily admits mistakes, for example with the poor start of the fire.

[@thomasneal9291]

what about all the other mistakes he made in the same 5 minute period? those weren't whelks, they were top snails. the fish wasn't a perch, it was a wrasse. you get MORE nutrients from cooked food than raw, as you body is better able to digest it. and on and on and on...

@@thomasneal9291 your body can digest more nutrients out of what is left yes, but cooking does destroy alot of the inherent nutrients that are there so it evens out alot more than you would think. For example the biggest thing that fish provide, Omega 3 Fatty acids, some tests show nearly 80% of it gets destroyed in the cooking process, and much of the same results for other essential vitamins. If you want to survive off of just meat for example without supplements in the wild youll need to eat raw organs from time to time out of necessity for the things that dont make it through cooking. Also, the exact species of what he ate isnt really important to anything at all tbh, though a correction after the fact in editing couldve been used ig it changes pretty much nothing.

[@torfinnjohnsrud793]

Gotta admire the fact that he knows what is important for entertainment and what isn't. No need to kill a chick or hack into a turtle for a show. He knows he can do it, and he tells you how to do it, but he could survive without food all 5 days so there's no reason to kill like that. But if it were a real survival situation where you don't know you'll get picked up in 5 days... Those turtles and chicks are fair game 😬

[@bistrobillyboy]

absolutely. he did that whole series. he does his research also..very knowledgeable about all the places hes been..even beyond the show, what I know of him; hes disciplined

[@PApro]

Had that chick been bigger he would have killed it. Also, lets not forget the hundreds of fish, crabs and even unborn baby birds (eggs) that he killed through out the shows run. Killing any living thing is still killing. Just because hes not killing the cute ones don't make it any less of a living thing that's being killed strictly for TV entertainment.

[@torfinnjohnsrud793]

@@PApro Unless you're vegan, what are you even arguing against? People eat eggs, meat, fish, all the time. In fact, catching and killing your own food is more humane than buying packed meat at a grocery store. What you catch/hunt actually lived, unlike a meat farm cow or chicken. So, you missed the point of my comment. If someone were actually surviving in the situation of this episode, they would have eaten the chick and hacked open the tortoises. You don't turn down food in a survival situation. He didn't because he knows it's unnecessary. I would bet that he eats less meat than if he were at home though. Unless you consider snail lives the same as cow or pig lives... Then he definitely kills more living things

[@PApro]

@@torfinnjohnsrud793 Im not arguing anything so you can relax yourself there just a little. Im pointing out how asinine it is to say hes so great for not killing chicks or turtles yet ignoring the fact that he kills so many other animals as if they too aren't living breathing things. You yourself just said people eat meat all the time and it's no big deal so why did you comment in the first place saying hes so great for not? Your conflicting yourself here. Further more, him killing any animal is unnecessary seeing as how hes not truly out there "surviving". He isn't lost or stranded, he went out there because he wanted too. There is no need for any of it what so ever. He has access and the ability to have and take anything he so desires. To say that he didn't kill the chick because it was not a necessity but justifying the killing of any other animal is just as foolish because that too was not needed at the end of the day. Clearly you like many others put a higher value on the lives of the "cute" animals and don't care about the ugly ones is all im saying. I mean, again, you praised him for not killing the chick but what about that egg that was partially developed? In a few weeks time it would have hatched and become one of those same chicks. So how is that different other than the chick was cute and the fetus wasn't?

Just want to say this show has been a huge inspiration in my life. I think I must have watched every episode when I was a teenager.

[@LaffinKing]

This is my favorite episode of Survivorman. Something very beautiful about that island. This episode was just satisfying

[@alancats]

I'm so happy to see that Les is back and making videos! This dude gained my respect on "Survivorman" not only for his amazing bushcraft knowledge and skills, but also, for lugging all his camera equipment around, by his lonesome. No crew or assistance. Thankfully, cameras have gotten lighter and smaller, since then. But, my respect for Les is not diminished!

[@bradd188]

I remember watching survivorman episodes everyday when I came home for lunch while in high school, 11 am to 12pm 1 hour for lunch and one hour to watch an episode of survivorman it was awesome. Brings back memories watching it now 14 years later. I always inspired by him to go out and do things like this but I never did end up doing it.

@@jesusteama1563 "I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvellous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavour to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature." The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.

He teaches patients. Why not eat the turtle now, simply it's a lot of calories to hack into him, It woucl cause the turtle quite a bit of pain where he's going to get picked up eventually because he's on TV, he knows that, he explains it, but he still explains how and why you would do such a thing and even a few tricks how to do it with other types, his focus is clearly on education which is so rare nowadays

[@jordanpayne6838]

I was stuck in the bush for 12 days, all I was thinking is “what would les do?”. I’m a professional hunting guide from Newfoundland Canada. I guide in remote areas only accessible by float plane or helicopter. I was guiding an elderly gentlemen from Florida. We were hunting moose. He ended up falling down and breaking his leg, he was at least 260lbs so there wasn’t any chance of me carrying him out. we had enough food for one night, the rest of our provisions were at camp 10 miles away. I put a splint on his leg and made sure he was comfortable, then I lit a fire and started making a shelter with the 10x12 tarp I always carry. We ate the food I had then tried to get some sleep. The next day I took his rifle and went looking for food, never had any luck. Just picked about a gallon of blue berries. And collected water from a spring I knew that was in the area. On the 4th day I shot a young black bear, he weighed around 120lbs. About 70ish lbs of meat. We didn’t get hungry after that. On the 10th day we were supposed to be picked up at a lake where we set up base camp, I knew when we didn’t show up they would look for us. On the 12th day I heard a helicopter and loaded the fire up with green spruce branches and moss. The helicopter spotted us and we were saved. That was the only unsuccessful hunt I’ve had in 15 years of guiding but it was the biggest tip I got, he gave me a 5000$ tip. He said “your an incredible guide, you went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. I’ll temper this trip until the day I die”. That was in 2010. To this day he still sends me 1000$ every Christmas.
