On behalf of my fellow Papua New Guineans🇵🇬 I would like to thank you for traveling all this way to one of the many remote places in my country. PNG is home to many different species of plants and animals. Survival in our rainforests is not for the faint hearted. And I'm proud to see that you've done this without any proper equipment/gear and that you're ok. Thank you for sharing your experience with PNG to the world 😇🇵🇬❤️

[@Dacula_Factory]

I love how Wes meets with locals first to get their insights before his endeavors. Smart but also respectful.

[@effortlessproductions]

The active ingredient of the Betel nut is arecoline, a stimulant alkaloid (among others that are present) that stimulates the release of adrenaline, thus giving the numbing and euphoric sensation, and also gives a similar effect to nicotine due to its structure, hence the buzz feeling. It's crazy to know that an estimated 10% of the world population chews these all the time. Big props to Les for trying this!

[@TheKalihiMan]

I live in Hawaiʻi, where recent migrants from Micronesia chew betel nut in almost this exact same fashion (a lot of people even grow areca palms in their yard). Out of curiousity, I tried it once in my late teens when I was still too young to buy alcohol or tobacco, and it gave me mild lightheadedness in exchange for chewing one of the most bitter substances I’ve ever tasted. That being said, I can only imagine what it would be like to chew it after multiple days on an empty stomach.

[@th-pw8pn]

I live in Taiwan and betel nut is everywhere here. It's very similar to your first cigarette, a hot rushing feeling with a mild change in consciousness. It's also absolutely disgusting and I have no idea how anyone can get hooked on it. You see guys here cramming 5 or 6 into their mouths at traffic light stops and riding off looking like their chewing a tennis ball. Then of course there is that whole scene surrounding the girls that sell it... :-/

Les, you're a tough man, Hewa is the edge of PNG jungle. I totally agree with your confession that PNG jungles is more primitive then most. PNG jungle is unique very hard to survive. Especially with the rain, limited edible vegetation/plants to gater and hunt in a jungle where only marsupials on ground with birds way up on the trees. Les, you just did it!! You have just conquered the jungle of jungles ..Iam a local man and I admit you are just a raw survivor..you make me proud!!. Keep surviving!!...

"In the adventure known as life, there are those who live it vicariously and enjoy the ride from the safety of an armchair. And that's good. There are those who have a few chances to realize incredible and life changing experiences, and though they don't repeat them, they carry with them a growth and personal philosophy for the rest of their lives. And there are those for whom a taste is never enough. For whom the lust of adventure is nearly insatiable. And if you add to that the overwhelming desire to create and to share, then you get where I'm at (to a place) where the end of one adventure only signifies the beginning of another." His closing remarks were incredible, and such a great outlook of the journey that we call life

[@TheSamson50]

being a kid and watching these when they came out on cable; the many, many times id sit fixated to the tv, thinking of being there, doing what he was doing and imagining every little thing- this guy is one of the main reasons im as loving of nature as i am. hearing him say "my final, ever, survivorman" made me sit further back in my seat for a good minute.

[@jayshe939]

was thinking the same thing, im 27 now and they get better and better! love this guy !

[@Q-BinTom]

You got to LOVE the sing sing.....AWESOME!

[@timcameron9023]

Awesome show. How cool are those villagers, they knew he was suffering and brought him back to humanity

[@jdturkdrcox]

I knew from the first episode i watched of Les Stroud many years ago that he was the real deal and the best of all the survival shows and people on tv. He really does it and it shows from his content.

[@Refazhe]

Les: "Oh, what's this? Instructions... on how to survive. Excellent" That line is every bit as funny as when I heard it on it's first US airing. Master of Snark, Les! Btw could you please do a commentary for this one?

[@ThatsFunnyEZ]

34:45 that face you make when you start tripping balls XD

I’m from Hawaiʻi, and when I was in college me and my college roommate decided to go to the local Micronesian-owned corner store where they sold the nuts. On an empty stomach, the effects lasted over an hour. I can only imagine what it would be like to do it on the verge of literal starvation.

gurning all over the place

[@tracyp2592]

@12FPSeZ Yeah that is pretty hilarious 😆

[@rdizzy1]

They don't make you trip, the main active chemicals are all stimulants, not hallucinogens. Similar in strength to a higher dose of nicotine. Just has a higher effect on Les because he has little to no drug tolerance. A pack a day smoker would barely even notice the effects of betel nut. (Other than the numbing qualities) It is a very weak drug overall.

[@TheDsRequiem]

Someone's never done drugs lol

[@arenarato9072]

les just casually making history with tribesman while surviving.

[@lonestarpiper4917]

Les Stroud is hands down one of the coolest people on this planet. I grew up watching Survivorman with my father who is sadly no longer with me and i return here often to rewatch these episodes time and again. Thank you Les! For what you have given us all and continue to give.

[@michillene]

Bless your heart,Les..How you ever made all these shows is beyond me...It definitely wasn't all glory.

[@paul6925]

I love it when he builds traps! I still feel traumatized by that flattened squirrel he roasted and ate 😂

[@socaljusticewarrior558]

This was always my favorite episode. I found it heartwarming when the villagers returned and invited Les to a party.

[@DonnePlummer69]

This is such an amazing episode. One of my favorites of all time. Must have been an incredible experience to meet the Hewa Les!

[@deborahflello2316]

spent the day in the comfort of my sunny sitting room watching back to back episodes of Les, the poor guy, suffering! :)) He is awesome!

[@DTOLalee77]

I miss these so much. I had them all saved on an old dvr & I’d watch them every night.

[@himbourbanist]

My man Les just out here in the jungle chewing a magic nut and vibing on the harmonica

[@8Scorpions]

Love the new versions of the commentary editions, watching them back to back is like a movie you don't want to end😁

[@_ksen_1715]

I've watched EVERY single episode released, would love to see a new season. ALL of these new comers making shows don't compare, they make shows for views not to teach proper ways of survival.

[@playerone4709]

Mr Stroud, you are by far the greatest survival teacher I ever had from teens to adult. Thank you.

[@jeremystark3350]

Binge watching all these is my new favorite way to pass time lately. Used to always watch Les on discovery in early 2000s.
