Survivorman | Wild Harvest | Season 1 | Episode 1 | Mussels & Wild Radish | Les Stroud

Yet another beautiful episode of Les Stroud's Wild Harvest! Let Les Stroud take you out into the wilds or simply your own backyard to discover the wonderful wild edibles waiting to be harvested and enjoyed. Then join Chef Paul Rogalski in the kitchen or over the fire as he shows you just what to do with dandelion, fireweed, spruce tips, cedar buds, matsutake mushrooms, horsetail, acorns, madrone berries and so much more! The locations and the plant and food imagery is stunning and brought to life by filmmaker Kevin Kossowan.
Directed By Les Stroud, Kevin Kossowan
Starring Les Stroud, Paul Rogalski

I've been waiting on these for a long time. We don't get the episodes here in Texas on PBS as I'm sure many other people will comment. I've been a fan of Les Stroud for many many years, and all is wanted him to do a program on this after watching him eat all the stuff he does in the wild on Survivorman. After seeing this, it's everything I thought it would be and more.

[@auto_5]

That’s awesome!

[@threezysworld8089]

Same here been watching Stroud for at least a decade now. This series is actually pretty cool. I've mulled over the idea of wild foraging in the past and this show has inspired me to get more into it.

[@tammyponmorris9324]

You need to download a VPN and set your location to Canada. I got the error it wasnt available in my country (US also) and was super disappointed and gave that a try since thats where Les is from and it works!!

[@StockHeightChevy603]

I’m with you Lupe! I been dying to see more Survivorman but cable tv is expensive where I’m at. Or at least not worth it.

[@aliagetaqi5979]

They stopped this series now that it's about to be August. I wanted them to keep playing it on my PBS.😕 I miss it.😟 I love this show! 😀

[@lizshoemaker8713]

I really really enjoyed this! I’m a pastry chef and the fact that you showed the trial and error of these new ingredients is such a valuable lesson for everyone watching. I want to see more of this!

[@mountainmedic4617]

What a beautiful story, woven with respect for the land and the sea. And something I share, love of the wild plants and flowers. Celebrated, adored, brought into our bodies with gratitude, blessing their natural habitat. What a beautiful person is Paul, so sensitive to all aspects. And you, Les, the conduit, the master storyteller, weaving a beautiful story fabric. Thank you so much. ❤

Being a native Oregonian watching this gives me something to get out and try... that all looked amazing... thanks Les.... Respect from Junction City, Oregon

[@tedcreviston9675]

I love watching and learning from Les, but the way "Paul" talks about his cooking just allows me to almost taste every bit of the food he talks about. This was a very unique and lovely addition to the Survivor man collections. Music, survival, cooking..A bit of bigfoot hunting just wow...well done sir!!!

[@anam5099]

You said exactly what I felt but didn't know how to articulate. Thank you ❤

[@johnsmith-jw9vh]

I remember when I was 14 watching survivormans videos with my parents almost every week. Now I am 20 and I still love watching les strouds adventures around the world. As a fellow Canadian Les brings out the best in all of us and makes us reconnect with Mother Nature. Les stroud is a straight beauty. Idea : Comic of Les strouds most famous quotes with funny pictures ex: when he makes a flamethrower from the air balloon in Africa

I remember when I was 14 watching survivorman videos also. I am now almost 30!

This earned a sub from me! One of my favourite components of the Survivorman adventures was when Les would forage wild edibles and explain them on cam. Beautifully shot and I look forward to more episodes!

[@survivalgal1882]

To be clear, this is NOT "survival"! It isn't even bushcraft. It's wild harvesting for FOODIES.

[@phillipg7315]

YESSS!!! Thank you, Les! The cinematography is STUNNING! Amazing work!

The ending of this episode was really beautiful Les. This show brings me a level of joy I can't quite describe, and I'm saying that as a lifelong fan of you work. Really wonderfully done.

[@greggmouritzen7478]

I'm not sure which I envy more. The ability to just go out and pick some random thing to eat, or the ability to take a few tastes, and be able to throw something together. So many people forget, presentation is almost as important as flavor.

[@RandallW20]

YES!!! I was hoping I’d get to see this. We don’t get the show in Texas on PBS

Same here. Our PBS station does not carry it either.

[@dan96dyna91]

Im doing my best to transition into wild harvest,knowing you solely as survivorman The nature filming in the show brings tears to my eyes I’ve been raised on fast food and processed foods,so seeing the meals prepared,makes me wish I could be there to experience them. I’m honored to experience the both of you. Pure serenity for the soul

[@neils5313]

Yet another inspiring Episode, great chef meets Les Stroud. Continue our journey of foraging, best with advice from yourself or a fellow local chef. I can imagine what fab tastes you experienced from the sea line has to offer. Nice to see a relaxing, thought provoking show. Compliments to Chef Paul Rogalski. Nice to see Mr Stroud making rockie mistakes, we all do them! Lifting a smile. Thank you

You taught me a lot when I was younger and really got me into bushcraft and the outdoors more. Thankful for that! It can be creepy at night though and thanks to the 411 series about missing people in the woods , it just gets you thinking when your out alone some nights. It's been amazing exploring more of Ontario over the years, really made me realize how much of the province is just wilderness that's practically humanless and I can't wait to move there lol. 😀

Whether it's survival, bushcraft, or “wild harvesting” for FOODIES, the first rule of wild food is always the same: If you don't know what it is, or how it died, DON'T eat it!

[@MikeydeLaraCovers]

@PBSSoCal @KCET How could you NOT have this show on your schedule?! I was SO psyched when Les announced this show. I watch tons of Survivorman and food shows and he comes out with this?! And y'all don't put it on the air? Oh, yeah... Southern California residents don't have any interest in food or nature or foraging or food. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@TonyBussert]

Would love to see how he incorporates beer instead of wine. Most of us bring beer with us. There are great beers he can use to give great flavor. Beer is more accessible and versatile them wine.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

Do you know why I love survivorman so much? Because I have studied human behavioural biology and to see a person surviving in the wilderness is a great behavioural experiment to watch. In fact anyone can watch the lecture series I watched. It's put out by Stanford Uni... Prof. Robert Sapolsky does the bulk of the lectures. (25 in total I think) All on KZbin without ads.

3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

[@AutoKorrect]

Salad i would've gone more of Japanese style with a light Ponzu Citrus dressing instead. Also don't dice the onions so fine. The Mussels looked great, the only i would've done is add just a touch of chili flakes. The miso added for the final dish i think really made it come to life there but i think it might've been interesting to add Korean Doenjang paste instead of miso. BRB my microwave just beeped.

No a big fan of this series, I am a chef cook so I'm kind of puzzle of your comments to his chef that I think knows what he's doing except with this new ingredients that he's been shown, I think less is a little hard on him at times but that is my opinion, anyhow as of for Les Stroud as survivorman you freaking rock man I love the survivorman series they're epic, also your survivorman Bigfoot series big fan, and when you are visiting indigenous tribes and spend time with them that series Rock too, as of for wild harvest not a fan just of that series everything else you've done is awesome, thank you Survivor man

[@internetcatfish]

The meals that are made to represent something interest me. Like you said, we could just put it on a plate and eat it, but you made it mean something. It reminds me of a recipe that was featured on a Meat Eater episode (a really good hunting show). The original recipe was a deer steak, cooked in bear lard over oak coals, put on a sourdough biscuit, and smothered in gravy. The biscuit represented the mountain the deer lies on, and the gravy was the sunlight that bathed both the deer and the landscape. The oak coals represented the acorns, which the deer ate, which eventually died and provided food for the trees that sustained it. Food doesn't have to just be nourishment; if that was it we would be eating blocks of condensed nutrients.

[@shelbyc9901]

This production takes knowledge, manpower and wherewithal but I'd say for all the years Les has given us a view of his world thru his lens and education, he has paid his dues and deserves being cooked for at this level, to be filmed by a crew so he can enjoy the deserved fruits of his labor.
