Survivorman | Norway Part 1 | Les Stroud

[@organiccountrylife]

Les, I'm a Texan and grew up wayching your content, I'm almost 26. And these days your content helps get me through life. Your episodes help me with anxiety and the frustrations of life. Because your attitude and just pure authentic personality is calming and real. Can't really thank you enough for being an amazing soul on this planet and spreading knowledge and positive vibes, which is 2 things the world really needs these days. Thanks again Les Stroud.

[@SurvivormanLesStroud]

Thats very kind of you. I never knew when I started filming Survivorman in the year 2000 that it could have this kind of reach and positive impact - though I always hoped that somehow it would and you are vindication for me - thank you so very much......L

@J Kerr I spend a fair bit of time in Northern Norway. It's bitterly cold in Winter. For a survivalist, it makes no sense that he's forgotten the basics.

Bear's tactics would likely get him and certainly the average Joe killed in mere days. After he's done filming his completely irresponsible and dumb decisions, he goes back to the resort and has steak and sits by a pool for the next day (bystanders have seen him doing this while filming an episode). He's not a survivalist by any means. No doubt he was part of a top military program and is an EXTREMIST/adventurer, but not a survivalist. Stroud meanwhile has been a survival training expert for nearly 30 years and trains the military in survival skills. It really goes to show that most people want flashy "OMG WOW explosions!" on TV than anything with substance.

I actually got a good reminder of that when I was buying a sleeping bag for a hiking trip. The guy who was in charge of the hiking section came to ask if I needed any advice and I asked him about the temp ratings. he just said "Yeah they are technically good for that temperature but if you're not sure, pick one higher. It'll keep you alive longer if the situation turns bad."

Sweet episode. By the way, I actually had to use a candle in a car for heat overnight. What I came up with was hanging my little frying pan over the candle flame, letting it heat up. Bigger surface area of the pan gave me a decent amount of heat. At least way more than just the candle flame. Actually worked well. And yeah, had two candles the size of the one he has here. Used one at a time, but heating up a larger piece of metal over it radiates much more heat.

[@brandonk6479]

Indeed it does work. You can actually keep warm if you have some tea candles, a small (maybe 4" diameter or so?) flower pot (like the little orangish ones) and some tiles. Stack some small tiles/pieces of tile on each side of the candle (all of which should be on a larger tile), and put the pot on top of the stacks, spanning the gap between, and have the little tea candle under the pot. Will heat it up and radiate that heat outwards. Works rather nicely

MrBallen has just told a true story on his channel about a family that found themselves exactly in this same situation on a very remote mountain road in Oregon. It didn't go well for the family, at least not for the father - he was already weakened by lack of food and warmth by the time he left his wife and two young kids in the snowbound car to try to get help. But instead of going back, he went further along the mountain road, tried to make a short cut through the wilderness and perished. His family were luckily found by a SAR helicopter out looking for them and were saved, but the father waited for days on end before he went for help - during that time they had run out of fuel and food and he was physically exhausted even before he left. I would have gone back down the road as soon as I realised that we were stuck and that nobody else was coming along that road, but of course in hindsight that's easy to say.

This is the best show. I love the tips and tricks given. It doesnt take much to realize that this is no joke. Les definitely struggles. Doesn't hide it. I couldnt imagine some of these locations. I love the honesty. Its not over the top. Like some other guy we know... Been here since the first episode and love the fact they are on YT now. Watch every night before bed. Very calming and informational. Most important. Real. Great job Les. Your knowledge and experience is unreal.

[@jordanchamberlain4377]

Incredibly excited that you have full, quality episodes on here. Takes me back to my 15 year old self

[@Jimmy-fw1wd]

Me too! I'm blown away the whole survivorman catalogue is in HD on KZbin by the man himself. Took me 10 years to see every episode.

[@CaptainFalc0nPunch]

I'm loving these multipart videos, shows more of what needed to be done to survive, not to mention really drive home how alone you are during these situations.

[@williamjones6053]

Les sets the bar high for all other survival shows or KZbin vids ..been watching him for years now

[@OpinionatedScents]

I'm so obsessed with Les! 10 days??? F YEAH!!!

Les. Your films got me through a lot of rough times. I am a doctor now. And I’m creating content of my own which is terrifying. But watching you transition from season 1 until now motivate me.

[@xXinsaneboyXx]

This episode felt like playing "The Long Dark", you guys should check that game out, very realistic survival simulation.

[@landonmillwood180]

We got: Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Bigfoot (known as Season 6 online) Survivorman and Son (known as Season 8 online) And now we getting Season 4!!

I'm sure your show has saved lives,it would be cool to see a show that showed those times. I can't believe you drove up there with others and not much fuel.

[@benturner3458]

Thank you for putting this episode up Les. This special is one of my favourite episodes ever along with the Mexico 10 days special. Can't wait for part 2. You're awesome Les mate and this kind of stuff really helps through these crappy times 👍 Take care mate

[@joerussell9187]

Really loving these old episodes. I saw many of them years ago but having so much fun rewatching them again. Especially the 10 day two part episodes. Thanks again for posting them on here. That was awesome of you Les.🇨🇦

[@lukeylouk1]

i remember watching you as a kid Les, im so happy you kept up with your dream.

[@thothtahuti5509]

Even after watching you do this for years/decades it still leaves me with a sense of awe, seeing you do these things and take these chances... it's genuinely inspiring. There's no better qualification in your "industry" then doing it a long time and still being alive ::)

[@bennygerow]

[@draxxsklounst6595]

So glad to find your channel. I used to watch survivor man all the time as a kid growing up. Used to come home from school and mess around in the woods trying to make shelters from sticks and trying to start fires lol.

[@blakel3207]

Les, this is by far my favorite episode of any TV show in history. I love this two-parter.

[@nomethodonlymadness9528]

Ive lived in the snow belt of New York my whole life. The first thing my dad taught me about driving in the winter was to never have less than a half tank of gas, keep food (granola bars, trail mix, jerky) water, and blankets in the trunk. Along with a shovel and some kitty litter. Obviously I'm more likely to be found a lot sooner in a populated area, but these tips could save my life if I end up off the road somewhere.

[@NobodyUR]

Lived in the snow belt 42 years, don’t even own a coat 🤣

[@Yharn-r2g]

One thing, that NO survival show talks about is PANIC. If your by yourself or with others PANIC is what happens to everyone. And how you deal with that decides wether or not you come back.

[@Justin--ze6qq]

ty for uploading these bro. was obsessed with this show around 2007

[@CMHC]

You are such a badass and I'm SO GLAD of the abundance of Les content on this channel. Huge supporter and been watching since I was 12 years old.

Let's all be honest. When we go camping we bring a full jar of peanut butter now.

[@ericcunningham6774]

Glad to see your back at it. That trick you showed with sos pad and a 9v battery kept me from freezing my butt off once. The advice about packing a survival kit to leave in the car is something I passed on to my son. We both love your work my friend.

[@JaketheMovieGeek]

This is a great watch after hearing the story of a family of 4 (Parents and 2 very small kids) trapped in their car on a logging road.

[@Ed19601]

When i lived in Scandinavia i always had a spade, warm clothes, extra food, a fishing rod and standard survival gear in the boot.

[@barrybogart5436]

A spade is good for digging a car out! And if not a pole at least some fishhooks.

If you have to leave your vehicle to seek rescue etc., leave the car unlocked and leave a visible note with your info and intentions.

Måtte bare.. sier vi da :) hehe..

[@m.t.v.7934]

I remember when I first saw this 2 part episode on TV, this was one of the only episodes that I ever saw where I thought you got in over your head. When you were climbing that mountain or hill-side and you were slipping and sliding was the only time ever watching your show where I thought you might be in some trouble. This has come to be one of my most favorite episodes of the entire Survivorman series.

[@teemo3139]

This is my favorite survival situation you've been in. A close second is the boreal forest which I believe is the first episode ever.

[@mariannebeltran5592]

Will see it! Thanks!

Thank you for doing this episode in NORWAY it’s my heritage as well as my family’s home country and I would have never seen it without u showing us the beauty and the extreme dangers it holds and how to survive. ❤

[@jonathangrossman5736]

This is my favorite episode. Maybe because I can really see this happening to people and your force with making a decision of leaving your shelter (car) for safety. Greta work, Les

[@beardupbeerdown7355]

There's a great Mads Mikkelsen movie about that, I think it's called Arctic

When the snow hits that area it’s pretty intense

[@ylemscalamity]

I grew up watching survivor man and man I just gotta say thanks les for the years of entertainment

[@tommyrichards1047]

That was a hell of a survival kit to keep in a car I think that’s more stuff that I have in my everyday driver

[@sdrawkcabmodnar]

Also; If you are ever stuck in a similar situation in a car, if you have the means, block off sections of the car with jackets or a blanket or some other clothing to create a smaller space whereupon the heat from your body and breath (and maybe the candle!) can have a greater effect. You'll have less cold leeching the heat since the blankets/jacket etc. work as somewhat of insulators. Food for thought

[@EMDE-bz1zq]

Original and best survival show

Thanks Les, such good reminders. Thinking of what we need here in Florida for our own kind of needs if we get stuck on some rural road after a storm or breakdown. Good, thought-provoking stuff. Thanks!

I remember messing up my sleep cycle so bad that everytime I was awake all the stores were closed and I ran out of food and this went on for like 10 days. I’d watch these videos but this one almost broke me with how I was feeling.

[@user-ct8my8rv9c]

I think the most important part of this scenario wasn’t addressed, trying to free your car before you decide you’re ‘trapped’. You have a hatchet and are in a forest, and can easily cut branches and sticks, put them under your tires for traction and try to free yourself first.

[@criminalscum_514]

I thought the same thing. Step 1 for me would be to get the car unstuck. At least from its current position. In that amount of time you could have dug out most of the snow that stopped your car from moving. However with the amount of gas left in his car I don't think it would have helped very much if he tried to get unstuck.

[@davidvaneck4856]

I don't mean to sound lame but I think he had a 24 of beer . I had a similar experience 180km from any towns on a seasonal rd that's open from june to dec. This happened a day before closure . I took a wrong turn the and ended up going down a steep spur ,there hadn't been traffic and there's was 12 " of snow on the rd, once the rd started dropping, I felt the "oh sh*t I can't turn around. It did flatten out but there was big snow drifts . After sleeping through a windy snowy night ,the drifts had grown. I shoveled around the car.jacked it up and pulled the front calipers off and tied them out of the way to make room for rope that was to be used for chains , I also did my best at clearing the snow up of hill. This worked.I did have ski touring equipment and overnight winter camping gear and I did think of skiing out and getting the car in the spring. The only mistake I noted in this video. He didn't melt snow on his engine or using body heat for drinking water. I'll watch part 2 and see if he's still drinking beer....I'm joking!! ...

[@davidvaneck4856]

He could of made extra foot beds for his boots to change out and dry in you armpits while traveling

[@ethantastic]

obviously but that would be a different show

[@bruceaisher]

True but what then - he had no gas left in the tank
