Survivorman | Norway Part 1 | Les Stroud 

Waiting in the car for my wife to finish shopping is like this .

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.

"You sweat, you die" has been my motto in wintery and snowy expeditions thanks to Les Stroud.

One of the best Survivorman episodes, and one of the most likely survival situations that could happen to any of us.

Les: take it slow and be safe, getting injured would be the end. Bear Grylls: “snorts cocaine” let’s run full speed through this jungle and jump off a waterfall!

Grabs a can of beer "Thats breakfast lunch and dinner right there" *Every camping trip ever* LMAOOOO

During my Army carreer I've spent many long weeks/months out in the elements. Jungles to Deserts. By far the worst is cold and wet! In an old M60A1 tank with a broke heater, in the cold, never ending rain. Just warm enough that it wouldn't snow. Snow is way better than cold rain!

You do real survival. No unnecessary theatrics and no irresponsible chances for extra drama. You are truly alone without support.Amazing that I came across your channel.

I love the implications of his half full peanut butter. Either they just grabbed whatever they had in the pantry for his rations, or bought fresh peanut butter only to intentionally scoop out most of the peanut butter. Both possibilities are hilarious to me.

Genuinely appreciate that Les goes against his own training and puts himself in a worse position in the hopes that if a viewer ever made the same mistake they’d recognize the consequences or at least have a strategy to remedy the situation

This is one of the most practical videos Les has ever made. Living thru Michigan winters, most drivers that I know make no preparations for their vehicle for just such a scenario. AND IT IS THE MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE.

What makes Les Stroud the real deal is he is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching survival skills. He makes it so everyone can easily learn what he’s teaching. Not saying what he does is easy because it is not but he’s the real deal for sure!

"This isn't surviving. This is just being trapped" I came here expecting to relax, have a good time, maybe learn a thing or two. Dude comes at me right away with a deep philosophical metaphor for life itself. Damn

Something for viewers to remember: A sleeping bag's temperature rating is the temperature that it should keep you ALIVE, not the temperature it will keep you COMFORTABLE... vast difference!

Always loved watching Les Stroud. He is doing real survival, not sleeping in hotels like other people 🤣

I grew up in Puerto Rico watching Survivorman with my mom, fast foward 20 years and all the knowledge I picked up became almost second nature that wouls kick in when exploring nature and then camping and hunting when I moved to the US. Thank you Les Stroud.

When you're stuck in a survival situation, Les is more. Edit: THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LIKES

I love your work, dedication, and responsible advice, without the sensationalism that has plagued TV since you started this genre. I can hardly bear it, someone should gryll them on professional responsibility. I've been following you since 2006. I can't wait to watch all of your future adventures, Les! Be safe!

This 2-parter on Norway is some of your best work ever

I lived in my van over a winter once. How I kept warm was making sure I pulled the cover over my head. Your exhaling gases are warm and really helps to keep you warm. Sometimes it wasn’t enough, but 95% of the time it was the best thing I could do. Have tried the candle but since it was a big van, all it did was spit out a little light and was a fire hazard so I only tried it like, 4 times maybe. Best time of my life if I’m being honest.

26:59 "Okay". Know when you're defeated. Hilarious lesson that made me spew tea on my computer. Thanks Les.

Les I have been watching you since 2007....14 years ive watched you the longest and best tv show I've ever seen. Thanks for the decade and a half of entertainment.

This is honestly one of my favorite episodes along with pt 2, they are just some of your best work imo. Hope you are doing well! Long live SurvivorMan!

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

Les Stroud is the Chuck Norris of survival. He's a savage! I love everything he puts out.

I travel all over the country for work. I’ve carried a bug out kit for years because of this man. Last year I was in TX for their big storm. Les was my man that trip!

5:53 angelic, I can't believe my boy Survivor Man is back 😭.

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

When me and my brother used to get home from work around 7 or 8 pm from the oilfields we would unwind with a 40 oz of whiskey or 24 of canadian beer and watch the survivorman series 1. I dont indulge anymore , neither does he. Still watching survivorman

I practice your skills all the time with my brother. We have been winter camping with next to nothing, go into the wild with nothing but the clothes on our backs, and water in our packs. We arent as experienced as you so we take a little water and food with us. When we leave, we always clean up, and we always take cans we find out of the woods, because its a popular spot for offroaders and party animals. Always leave it cleaner than it was when we went out. Take care of dear Gaia, and she will take care of us. Thank you les, for making me how i am today.

99% of the viewers have no idea just how STRONG both mentally AND PHYSICALLY Les truly is!!! As an avid back packer and outdoor survivalist of 20 years myself, I am astonished at the sheer mental fortitude and display of endurance and stamina Les Stroud shows while starving in the process. This man is the alpha of alpha males. I just wish there was a way for people to truly understand what this man goes through.

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.

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.

I’ve got a pretty well stocked survival kit in my car. Extra clothes, plastic bottles, fire starting materials, tools. It’s mainly because I haven’t cleaned my car out since fidget spinners were a thing and not because I’m a responsible adult.

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

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.

My dad really likes these! I appreciate you uploading them. He has degenerative arthritis in his spine and so he sits on the couch a lot. We watch these and some fishing youtubers every night.

Waaay back when there was some sort of "controversy" over what survival show was best, Les was always The Man in my world....I couldn't believe some of the very entertaining conversations I had then! Now they have all fallen, and the Master is still doing what he does. Strong work, Survivorman. I highly value everything you have taught me. Thank you, for everything.

Me and my father used to watch these together. i dont care how many times ive seen these, theyre my comfort show. thanks les :) rip pops

I miss survivor man and I’ve watched every episodes numerous times. Love you Les!

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.

Love how he's got some tools in this episode.

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.

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

Love the simplicity, without going over the top. Showing failures an successes is what in my mind sets it apart from the you tubers, the ones where everything is just working a little to perfect. I want reality I wanna see people learning what they have to do to survive when their ass is truly backed into a survival situation with nothing but their wits and mother nature to bail them out... Amazing career

19:35 "The best way for me to kill boredom... well, that option's off the table because I'm alone" Woahhhhhh chill Les, chill. Keep it family friendly XD

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

I love Les Stroud’s shows!!!..he makes these other guys on the other channels look like beginners!!…I personally would like nothing better than for him to be back on prime time again!!..He’s the real deal!

The entire Surivorman series is a go-to for me when I want to just put something on and relax. I've watched every episode many, many times. I think the Norway two part is my favorite of all of it that aired on TV.

It's about drive, it's about power, it's about Les Stroud's Survival.

So excited to have found this. Yes. Les is the absolute best.

I've been watching you since I was a young boy getting ready for school I'm sure you've saved countless lives sir

This definitely seems like the most tense ordeal that Les has gone through. I can't believe some people haven't watched pt2 it's absolutely nail biting.

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

this brought me back instantly to 2005... Les, you created this genre now so popular on RU-vid!!!

What a channel, I mean what a channel! How have I only just found out about this? The cinematography, photography and narration is magnificent!!

I grew up watching les in my mid teens. Gonna binge them all over again. Great stuff.

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 could watch this all day long, brilliant thank you 💞

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

One of my favourite episodes along w/ Arctic Tundra. Can’t wait for the Mexico episode as well!

Man, I remember the Norway episodes. The end of Part 2 is what always reminds me to check the expiration dates for emergency supplies when I head out on longer trips.

Les is the best to ever do it. Miss watching him on tv.

Thank you so much for sharing your adventures.

Thank you so much for the full uploads Les, I've been searching for years for every episode.

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

seen every episode of survivorman literally 100 times.. this and part 2 are it

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. ❤

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.

Hi Les I have been binge watching all your videos It’s awesome Thank you so much for sharing your adventures Victor

Living in Northern Michigan,I found this episode very helpful! Keep on Les!

Great to see your survival techniques again, Les. Used to always watch your show on TV.

I've been living in my car for 4 years now. Winters are definitely a challenge.

loved watching survivor man as a kid. Was the best kinda of tv on. Never boring and always informative. Thanks for making such quality and for passing on such knowledge!

Growing up in the early 2000s and coming home from school and watching your show on discovery. I lived next to a fairly large wooded plot of land and was obsessively in those woods trying various things i saw you do. Fast forward to the pandemic and loosing my home hitting the road and living out of a tent in various national forests and parks and public land for a year and a half i do appreciate the knowledge that was passed and thank you for the entertainment value you brought to it. Little did i know when i was learning to make friction fire for fun how useful it would be

les is like the yoda of survival,respect dude!

This is the best episode of Survivor Man hands down. I remember seeing it on TV and have been looking online for it for quite a long time. So glad this one is finally here... That Mountain descent, So Crazy man, crazy!

Always love watching Les do his thing out there!

I have always enjoyed watching your videos. You show some very real situations and ways to handle them stressing preparation, patience and keeping a positive attitude.

Im a 60 yr old grandma. Ive watched Les for years. 4 years ago i made a hike group for kids. We go out in the heavy woods and hike. We do bushcraft and they learn it all and love it. Sometimes the parents will come along but i almost prefer they dont as they helicopter so much. I give the kids machetes knives fire starting stuff. Cooking and shelter building. Wild edibles and first aid. No cell phones allowed unless on silent. These kids are ages 5 to 14. Girls and boys. Im telling you i think they would be out in the woods any day. My husband is at cleveland clinic. A week so far. Last year 55 days. I sleep in my jeep in the parking garage. There are plenty of situations you will need to survive in. First line of defense is not to panic and take stock of what you have. We are too far away for me to go home, and my husband is busy surviving the hospital. Les has taught me so much that I've passed on to my hike group kids. My 10 yr old grandson is quite proficient. I tell him ok we need a fire. He will pick the safe spot, get rocks, tinder bundle, use his flint and steel or one of other ways he knows. Build that fire safely and put the water kettle (that we have filtered) on it. I could go on. My oldest son has a good sized YT channel for the same thing and he came on a hike with us. He was quite impressed. The kids built a very sturdy comfortable bench with natural materials for us to sit on. Thank you Les, for so much!

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

love that this is on youtube! used to watch on A&E everyday after school!

Just like many of the people watching this episode, I too grew up watching SurvivorMan. I was thirteen when season one, episode one, first aired. Sitting on my parents' couch, eating Doritos, not a care in the world. I'm nearly thirty three now. Watching all these episodes brings me back. Thank you, Les for putting every episode out on RU-vid for free.

New Survivorman story, Les has to explain to his wife what happened to her car.

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.🇨🇦

This man’s show is amazing, he offers some really great ideas on how to survive if your ever in a sh*t situation. I usually keep a couple military mre’s in my vehicle. One from case A and one from case B. A little variety can go a long way. Until you can be picked up are hunt/catch food. Les’ show is much much better then bear grills. Have learned a lot more from this man.

Unforgettable series...

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

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.

You're a national hero Mr. Stroud

I’m so glad these are on RU-vid.

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 ::)

Your advice is always the best and most realistic of all the survival shows I have ever seen. So many other ones require some insane physical ability or ridiculous scientific knowledge most people would never figure out. I, like most, could do what you do and that's the most important learning tool.

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.

Watching Les…. Is the most relaxing! F ambien ,,, Les is the best!

Les you are just an awesome mentor for the outdoors. I have been watching you from day one! I have a question, do you ever come across people while you are making a video? Maybe they think you are really stranded or in trouble...Thanks for all the awesome content.

For sale: bmw with slight damage inside and a few missing parts. Otherwise in perfect condition!

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.

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