Les simulates survival as a plane crash survivor in Temagami, Ontario in the winter, simulating a broken arm. Created by Les Stroud Starring Les Stroud
This episode triggers so many memories and remind me how simply things were back in the day when i used to binge watch them, i probably watched survivorman episodes more than 50 times each over the years and yet it never gets old, maybe because how real, authentic and ethical Les is, to the point you instantly feel how genuine he is about what he does and how serious he is about teaching people about survival and how to hang on to life regardless of how hard things may get, he is the real deal and he never did this for show, he did it with the pure purpose of teaching. Thank you so much for reuploading these episodes i get the same fun and warmth watching them i had back in the day.
I love the way you worded this. Can’t really put my own feelings into words with the same eloquence, but I’ll give it a shot. Or not haha. But I completely agree with how you worded it. I’m a city slicker pure and simple, never really spent too much time in the bush.
Havnt seen this in years. Looking for this episode cause I remember he almost dies in this one. Then I see your comment and immediately laugh. Thx for spoiling it and making me remember so many more details
If you talk to a lot of hunters, fishers, and survivalists, the story is all the same for them: the animals they kill is for food, and should be treated with as much respect as possible because they are another living being, even if they are prey.
Amen ! was a 1652's kid. Get outside to free some slave, gave him a horse, learnt him how to shoot and got on a revenge killing spree with him so he could free his love! Good times! Les rocks!
You think they'll just crash a plain for show purposes? Producer just call around and see if there is a wreck available. He actually pays hommage to those who died by telling the world this .
Has anyone ever read the book “Hatchet” by Gary Paulson? It depicts a story about a teenage boy lost in the Canadian bush after a Cessna crash. Eventually he learns things by accident. Like when a skunk enters his shelter and he throws his hatchet at it and he sees sparks and learns that his shelter is built into a flint rock and thus he learns to make fire. Paulson used his own survival knowledge and experience to tell a story and teach as well. I loved how the Moose, not the bears, ended up being the most dangerous animals to the main character. Everyone would assume bears are so much more dangerous.
That’s literally what I was about to write and then I saw your comment. I was like “this is what that book hatchet from middle school would look like” 😂
That was actually Brian’s Winter, also by Gary Paulson. In the end of Hatchet, Brian gets rescued at the end of his summer in the bush. In Brian’s Winter it’s a sequel where he doesn’t get rescued and has to spend the winter in the bush. Spoilers for a 20 something year old book for middle schoolers lol
Oh totally! Funny thing is we all know none of use would probably eat any of it cause we’re wusses, but we sit here watching him eat grubs that apparently “taste like peanut butter” and weird clams and shellfish and we’re like “mmm that looks amazing yeah nice one Les I wish I could be there eating that too!”
All those complaining about ads I say stfu!!! If u don’t like it buy the dvds online!!! Les is doing everyone a favor by uploading the episodes for free!!!
It got to me when he got emotional holding the hare. You could see that he was thinking that it was awful that a precious little life was taken for a tv show. But it's the necessity of life and critical for survival.
@@raymantis682 its one of the reasons why i love Les so much. Behind the survivorman persona is a guy who really cares about people and their knowledge for survival and who has great respect for nature and all the creatures who call it home.
It was nice to see the respect and also using as much as he could. I’ve seen loads of elk etc with just the head missing for some jerk’s trophy mount. So sad those animals went to waste like that.
The absolute panic I felt when I thought Les was actually going to break his arm @12:09 with an Axe. Like I had to stop the video and actually sit back and comtemplate if I wanted to continue watching. I fast forward a minute or so and was beyond relieved to see that, No, Les would not deliberately break his arm on a survival show .
@Sah he said at the beginning that the wreckage is from a real plane crash where 2 people died. This makes this episode so crazy to me, calling home for 7 days, the place where 2 people died.
Les, I just want to thank you for putting these out on RU-vid for us-that’s such a selfless thing to do. The way you STILL exude extreme joy every time you get a fire started, after the tense struggle, is so genuine and pure.I love watching your adventures and dream of one day just getting to spend a day in the wilderness with you-just soaking up absolutely everything. God bless Les.
This was the first survivorman episode I watched back in the early 2000s. It sparked my love for the TV show. 20 years later and I get to re live those memories from way back when. Thank you les stroud.
I hope the couple who passed away in the plane are resting easy, and the family’s have solace that the plane was used as a way to teach others how to survive should they find themselves alive after crashing. Your pauses at times when you handled the plane... I dunno if I’m just adding context, but you seem like the type to have possibly been reflecting on that fact. That people died in this wreck. Maybe even offering it respect before taking it apart. You’re a good guy.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The fact that two people lost their lives in the plane, and that it is now being used to possibly save lives, is an awesome thing. Many their souls rest in peace.
25:31 "But there's still one thing I can do with one arm.........I can play with my harmonica"! I see what you did there Les! 30:32 Idk why but I find Les's reaction hilarious when he looks at the hare.
@@DragoonRyRs Really ?. He is a real and honest guy, that dont edit out the less fortunate things from videos. And he tells it like it is. Its hard being in very dry and hot places, but one of the biggest challenge is the cold, he have said it several times. And its not about being touhg, if one think like that , one are in more trouble, i bet . Its about making sure one survives. Im from Norway. Getting lost at a mountain or in a forest, in a bliss, snowstorm and a tuff winter, that would kill you quick. I hate the videos of some i wont name, where they drink their piss ten minutes in the show. Its so dumb,so fake, it make one cringe,if one are able to see what is fake. I really like Les videos, he is humble , honest, and he wont even kill animals if not for last resort. He have shown that he can, he just dont feel the need of proving himself in bragging and misleading in videos made for people who really dont recognize reality versus acting drama.
@@doyoumakeittotheclouddistr4132 Les himself tells the cold is harder then being in a dry hot place... And i belive him. The cold kill faster than any dry can do. But , dont get me wrong,i love all his videos. Also the very hot, dry lonely places.
as unpleasant as it is, I'm glad that he shows at least parts of the process of dealing with eating an animal, as I strongly believe in being aware of where food comes from and what happens to it
I really liked how once he got the rabbit cleared of its trap and held it you can see him take a moment. I can't say what was going through his mind, but you can definitely see him be silent and still as he cradled the animal. Shows heart and kindness.
@@MoreIrrelevantTwaddle It's the case with any hunter really. You don't want undue suffering on an animal. They are making the ultimate sacrifice for your sake and any good hunter will do their best to ensure that they go without needless suffering. You have to respect it..
Considering his name is behind every aspect of the film/editing...I hope he had a good contract $...these episodes in Canada were under "Canadian Content"...and continually looped...loved every episode.
@@pubplays368 spending time with locals helps with that and les said he usually spends time with the bushman in the area to help him survive before the 7 days.
I watched your series from the time you first started. I've enjoyed and learned your self-indused suffering (not in a jerk way) but you know what I mean. I now live in a rural area. Even a trip to the grocery store can turn bad. I make sure I have enough in my truck to keep me until someone can find me. Thank you!
I remember catching this episode on science channel 15+ years ago. Here we are now, got seasons 1-3 on DVD. Probably seen every episode of Survivorman 50 times each and it never gets old. This episode, Boreal Forest, and Norway are the best. Long Live Les
Les is the real deal. I have watched episodes over and over. I am no survivalist in any way. I am amazed at his patience to continually teach and video everything while at the same time really surviving. I truly appreciate him and what he brings to survival and reality. Thank you Les for all that you have done and keeping the episodes so we can enjoy them again and again.
Wow this takes me back, Les Stroud always keeps it real and honest with what he’s doing, not clout chasing. But a test of himself all the while sharing the experience with us. These are the videos to watch before bed for me.
I always love that Les never gives up on making the fire, and always does so in cool unique ways. From the 45 min magnifying glass in the mountain episode to some random rocks he found by the stream in this episode. amazing!
I remember watching this episode with my dad who has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. Survivorman was a staple of my childhood. I’m so glad I can watch it on RU-vid.
I grew up on these, Les is a huge part of me growing up and learning to love the outdoors. Thanks for teaching us a lot about survival and making great shows and films over the years. Cheers to you man!
axel uchiha It's not bad to drink your own urine for one round if you recycle your pee again it will become toxic thing that I realized with Grylls besides a lot of the stuff not being authentic is that when it comes to eating bugs and all sorts of stuff he has no self control he doesn't see what I see, the smell the taste the nastiness, he just does it, a normal person will never do what he does even if they suffering cuz it's plain nasty but Les is a lil more practical for the average joe you even see him struggle with the fire which I can appreciate, he eats what most people would considerably eat if in a survival situation and he makes a plan to get warm, especially my skinny ass that's my first priority😂😂😂 I mean 7 days in the wild is no joke I had a hard time staying 7 days in my house but Bears tips and tricks are occasionally useful but you gotta be selective and clarify by multiple sources if it's true or not which is kinda annoying but it's entertaining no doubt
I've been a dedicated Survivorman enthusiast since the days of the Discovery Channel. Without a doubt, this ranks among my top episodes. It's downright amusing to witness Les Stroud attempting to wield an axe with just one arm! Furthermore, he manages to not only catch a rabbit but also build a fire using just an axe-two incredibly challenging achievements in a survival situation.
I've watches a few of these episodes and I absolutely love them. I remember enjoying his survival shows a long time ago and I am excited as hell to find them on youtube. No other show is the same as this one is. Also... The opening I can never unhear it as "Temper temper temper temper". Really makes me laugh lol
I just want to say that even though Les is hungry and tired he still is entertaining fun fact the network wanted him to fake portions of the show and he flat out told them no
@@howardvarley8795 He's not faking it to try and deceive people into thinking it's real, he's faking it to purposely simulate a very common accident that can easily result in a survival situation. Maybe you just don't understand the nuance.
Being 24 I would always watch him growing up as a a kid and have always been a fan. Especially when he made a video in my state (Oregon) les is the survival goat
Never ceases to amaze mecwhat an amazing substance real wool is. I read archaeology at Uni 30 years ago and did a study into wool and its historical importance. The latitudes of Northern Europe meant wool was absolutely essential during the medaevil period and up to very recently it was the primary fabric for outer garments. So important was it it made the English Medaevil Kings wealthy as much of the best quality wool in Europe at the time, came from the British Isles, and still does. Before knitting was invented, felting the wool was essential. Outer garments were made retaining the lalonin which waterproofs it. Even today, you can't beat it for heat control and, as Les says, when messing about with fire or rough work in the woods, your superlight down jacket is very easily damaged. The blanket coats, famous in Canada from superthick Hudson Bay wool blankets are still made in Yorkshire, England, from British wool. It was the qualities of these blankets that were a key trading item with the local people for furs. The blankets being waterproof, incredibly warm and can be made into coats etc. I live on a hill farm in the Northumberland uplands, sheep country on the Scottish border and wool coats from Tweed cloth and tweed caps are still the best outdoor gear for these exposed and windy hills where the rain, sleet and snow can close in quickly . You can spot the tourists from the locals because the country folk wear the woolen clothes, high performance mountain wear is excellent but it isn't really tough enough to carry out hard work in the winter, like logging and it's expensive. A good tweed wool shooting jacket will last 30 years and keep you warm and dry for the same price as a North Face parka that will give you 10 years tops, provided you don't wear it when logging or repairing a drystone wall.
I have no idea how many times I’ve seen this particular episode, but I have been a fan of Les’ since day one. He’s pretty much at the top of my favorite survivalist list, then there’s Matt, Dave, Cody, the guys from Dude You’re Screwed (yeah I know Matt’s in there), Rudy and Bear aren’t quite up there as high, but they’re there. I remember a DVR crammed with every episode ever and just binge watching on days I couldn’t get away. Use to drive my wife nuts. Probably, at least in part, why she’s my ex. 🤣😂😅 So glad it’s all on RU-vid now. Thank you SOOOO much Les 😁👍
Maaaan you must’ve gotten so sunburned on these episodes. Every one I’ve seen, your face is bright red by the end. True survivor, and going one step further and doing it with one arm is pretty all-star!
I saw this episode when I was 5 or 6, and alongside the one where you tear up that ford explorer, haunt my dreams to this day. you do a really good job at getting the gravity and brutality of these situations across without playing it up for the camera.
It's nice to take a trip down memory lane watching these videos, but I want to kick the genius at RU-vid who put the computer in charge of ads. Far too many of them for my liking. I'm subscribed because I like Les Stroud and I will support him, but I would prefer to do it without all the commercials. I least I can skip them-that's the only saving grace for me. Cheers Mr. Stroud on making it to RU-vid!
Usually the person uploading chooses the number of ads! They have a lot of control over how many they want and how they’re placed, though they can choose a template made by youtube as well
That landscape really attracts me for some reason, very good episode. Anyway It's slightly disturbing he was 'chilling' in a wreck wherein two people died violently
I haven’t seen these episodes in a few years. So thankful Les decided to upload these for us for some pandemic quarantining entertainment. Very much needed and very thankful Les!🇨🇦
The STOL on the fabric means, short,take-off landing. It basically means the plane is equipt to take off and land on a short runway, pilots use these modified planes mostly in Alaska and Canada, where there's lots of trees or brush, so they can take off and land were other planes can't.
very first survivorman episode I ever saw, been into survivalism since, and never looked back. My old man was heavy on the "self-reliance" or survival, and did his best to teach us kids what he knew. Les filled in the blanks for this fella, and even to this day, I try and make sure to have a multitool and knife on me every day.
