DVD: Survivorman Season 2 |
|
Each episode finds filmmaker and naturalist Les Stroud in a remote wilderness location with
little more than the clothes on his back. The Amazon Jungle, the wilds of Southern Africa, the
rugged Alaskan coast and the middle of the South Pacific are but a few of the locations Les
endures this season. This DVD also includes an exclusive “Making of Survivorman” segment.
Regular Price: $39.99

Additional Information:
This season was comprised of six different locations. In this DVD you will find all six of these
episodes in full as well as a bonus episode. The bonus episode goes in depth in the making of
Survivorman season 2. Watch Les this time over seas surviving various types of environments
and climates. From the sandy dunes of the Kalahari desert to the snowy forest of Labrador, Les
is pushed to the limit fighting heat stroke, hunger, thirst, the cold and much more!
Episode Information
Episode 1: Ecuador
In the dangerous depths of the Amazon Rainforest lurk predators of all shapes and sizes. Just
one touch from the poisonous spiders, army ants and caterpillars can kill and the constant rain
and humidity do not make matters any better. After brushing up on wilderness and hunting
tactics from the skilled Waorani tribe, Stroud will have to survive on next to nothing while capturing
it all with the camera equipment he lugs around.
Episode 2: Kalahari
With temperatures on the sand reaching 60 C, Stroud has his work cut out for him in the scorching
red sands of the Kalahari Desert. With only enough water for four days, Stroud mimics the Bushmen
and sits still in the shade during daylight. Night is another story, however, when temperatures drop
to as low as 7 C. Can Stroud survive on locust and scorpions, or will he have to surrender to the sand?
Episode 3: Labrador
Although snowmobiles are the main mode of travel in Labrador, dog sledding is the way Stroud will
get around the freezing north. Even though he brought along a survival kit, including fishing supplies,
duct tape, rope, his multi tool and a .22 rifle, he is still without the crucial essentials needed in Labrador
forests in winter: matches and a pair of snowshoes. Unable to catch a break, Stroud hits a low point as
he is forced to steal food from the dogs. When Stroud finds himself completely stranded due to a rapid
thaw and unable to continue on his journey, his only hope is to turn to the skies. Will Survivorman have
to call it quits for the first time?
Eoisode 4: African Plains
Stroud arrives in the stunning, yet sizzling hot plains of South Africa via hot air balloon, and immediately
must contend with the majestic lions and vicious hippos so feared by humans. Everyday Stroud is on the
move, trying to survive on only one small bottle of water, a machete and his trusty multi-tool. Luckily, the
rainy season brings more water to the area, but he must always stay alert to avoid the black mamba, Africa's
deadliest snake. The air balloon comes in handy, serving as a hammock and shelter but it won't solve the
problem of having no food.
Episode 5: Alaska
Alaska is known as the “Land of the Midnight Sun.” As Stroud enters an ocean bay called “Taroka Arm” by sea
kayak, there's only about four hours of twilight per day and he knows that Mother Nature is going to wreak
havoc upon his internal clock. At this time of year, the salmon in this bay are active and so are the black bears
and grizzlies, which Stroud will have to steer clear of if he's going to make it through this week alive. This coastline
has the second highest tides in the world and finding high, dry land is first priority after bear-watching. Stroud
builds a shelter made from rubbish combed from the beach and then attempts to fight off hypothermia and the
ever-present blackflies by making a fire. He then uses the primitive method of flint knapping to make a hook to
attempt to catch salmon but, as the fish jump around the kayak without a single bite, Stroud is reminded once
again that hunger doesn't make fishing any easier.
Episode 6: South Pacific
The Cook Islands are situated about as far away from everywhere as you can possibly get; the middle of the South
Pacific ocean. Being one of the most deceptive places on the planet, this tropical paradise hides some horribly
unperceivable dangers including the world’s most venomous fish, the stone-fish. Stroud, equipped with only his scuba
gear, is abandoned by his crew at sea to recreate a frightfully common occurrence; separated from your boat and left
alone in the ocean waters. Utilizing a shipwreck on the beach of a small tropical island to live amongst the rats for 7 days,
he uses his knowledge as a survival expert to make it through the week, alone. With a constant bombardment of tropical
storms Les must gather food and collect rain water so that he may survive and make it home.
Episode 7: The Making of SurVivorman
Catch up on all of Stroud's adventures in season two of “Survivorman” in this episode highlighting the most exciting
segments this season and featuring amazing never-before-seen footage and additional survival tips.

It was 40 for a long time, eventually, it went down. Wal-Mart didnt get it until like 1 1/2 years after or so, it took a long time, so the price was down.
Plus wal-mart slashes prices.
But if you think about it 40 bucks is nothing, he spends so much time and effort into this

ya but if you think what he has to do to make a season its really not that much really, he spends 7 days each episode usually. Lots of work, travling all over the world.
But the Wal-mart prices do kick ass, just not sure when they are going to get it

Walmart may have great prices... but they and similar chains are destroying the local small business community. I WILL NEVER BUY FROM WALMART AGAIN... if I can help it... sometimes the wife forces me to... he he.
They underpay their workers, buy in huge quantities, from all over the world. They trample all the small businesses to the point that most of them fold under. People can't look past the fantastic sales to see the damage left in their wake.
Support your local small businesses.
Sorry for the mini-rant.
Rick

Ranting is apprciated when its anti-walmart.
Have you seen the southpark episode on wal-mart? They pretty much make fun of that, that show is silly but so much stuff is true.
Smallbusinesses are the wya to go
