Survivorman

“Survivorman” is a television series produced in Canada, shown domestically on the Outdoor Life Network and internationally on the Discovery Channel and Science Channel. The series ran for three seasons and included four special episodes in the years 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2012.

The show’s name is derived from its host, Les Stroud, a Canadian filmmaker and survival expert. Stroud demonstrated his survival skills by enduring up to ten days in isolated locations, documenting his experiences on video while having minimal food, water, or gear. As detailed on the show’s website, each site was carefully selected and planned in advance by Stroud and his team, who collaborated with survival experts and local inhabitants. A key aspect of the series is that Stroud faced these challenges entirely on his own, without the support of a production crew.
