The two knowing DVDs reach in a classic plastic container. The record quality and sound are perfect. Each episode is shown in its entirety and without commercials. It doesn’t bag any better than this.

Desert - Les salvages his broken bicycle after it strands him in the desert. He later uses those parts to back his status.
Boreal Forest - Objective what it implies. The forest. It’s in one of these forest/jungle outings that Les almost amputates his finger when his knife slips.
Swamp - Bullfrogs and turtles are Les’s main staple as he builds a raft out of the swamp.
Jungle - At night the jungle floor moves with activity.
Disc Two
Arctic - No food anywhere, except for his pack of seal blubber. Polar bears stalk his sleeping region.
Mountain - Shelter building and fire making at its best.
Winter Plane Fracture - My well-liked. Les fakes a broken arm to believe a true plane rupture place. He builds a nice shelter from the busted up airplane, and traps rabbits with a snare.
Canyonlands - The loneliness of the canyons grates on Les’s nerves as he smokes out a living quarters and catches cramped animals for food.
Lost at Sea - Les takes flight in a rubber raft and gets hit by a tainted unexpected storm.
I can’t wait to notice what Les has planned for Season Two. I’ll be the first to assume his DVD.
Terrific expose, grand DVD. This is a repackaging of the Season One DVD available on Les Stroud’s website for $25. It contains the 9 episodes from Season One plus a behind-the-scenes episode.
Years ago when I heard about “Survivor” I understanding it would be dumping new Americans on an island and watching them try to feed themselves. I idea that would be a grand explain. Instead it was the series of challenges and voting people off the island - not about survival at all.
Les Stroud made my wish reach lawful. He recreates accidents that would leave you stranded in the wilderness, and then uses the items at hand and his wits to survive for seven days. He actually falls out of his canoe and watches it drift away, then he swims to shore, gets out his backpack and sees what he has to survive - in one episode he smashes a video camera and uses the lens to commence a fire. He survives the desert, artic, a shipwreck in a raft, the Georgia swamp (he catches and eats a rattlesnake) .
He does all his gain filming, talking as he goes. This leads to some of the humor in the explain - he’ll film himself making a tiring, slip up a steep ridge, and then point out he has to go aid down to rep his camera - then go up the ridge again.
Some of what he does works well - he catches a snow-shoe hare with a snare, something everyone has heard about but he actually shows you how it works (its not like in the cartoons) but some are flops. He eats plants which build him throw up, and it takes him a LONG time to originate some of his fires, with multiple failed attempts. I score it all very bright.
He has substantial patience, and his super-power is to go for five days without eating more than two lizards without complaining.
One last comment - the exhibit invites a comparison to man vs wild, which is noteworthy more dramatic and over-the-top and evil - the man vs wild guy drinks by squeezing elephant dung and brown liquid comes out and he swallows that. That guy goes out of his map to face drama - he chooses an hurry path over a lava field so you can discover his boots smoke, where Les Stroud would mosey around it. Plus I can never forget that the man vs wild guy is standing there with a camera crew which has coolers and a truck just there. They are presumably drinking Coke and eating McDonald’s while the guy drinks elephant dung juice. Its a stunt. Whereas when Les Stroud found the rattlesnake (he jumped a mile and they had to bleep what he said) if he had gotten bitten he would have had to face it alone.
Les Stroud is very obscene key and Canadian, and he plays his harmonica to retain his spirits up. He is very likable.
My whole family likes Survivorman. We bought the DVD on his website and were glad. I recommend it heartily.
