Stranded (2001)

Stranded is a series where Les Stroud spends 7 days out in the winderness on 2 differnt occasions with little food, no water, no shelter, no tent. This 2 part series is the first that was taken before Survivorman was made. There are the 2 original episodes.

First a little about "Stranded"

In August of 2001 while you were enjoying a barbeque out back or relaxing in the sun, the award winning, highly acclaimed show @Discovery Canada (now ‘Daily Planet’) sent Filmmaker/Adventurer Les Stroud out to the remote bush of the Canadian boreal forest to survive alone for seven days. Les was hundreds of kilometers from the nearest person or settlement without food, tent, matches, or equipment. With just two cameras, the items any person might have in their pockets and his wits he had to deal with the intense bugs and the hottest week on record! He had to find food, shelter, water and make a fire without matches! There was no camera crew, no million dollar prize and no one to vote off the island! Les set the record straight for an audience obsessed with Hollywood notions on how to survive in the wilderness. The result, other than Les still being alive, was a hugely poplular five part mini series which was reformatted into a one hour special.

THEN HE DID IT AGAIN!! BUT THIS TIME IN THE DEAD OF WINTER!!
At the end of January when southern Ontario had a balmy plus 15 degree C. heat wave, Les endured temperatures of minus 41 degrees C. for an entire week alone. His only comfort was a shelter under a tree and a small fire started by striking rock against steel. He had an axe and one energy bar per day for food.

Only watchable which kind of sucks because I would rather put them on Photobucket incase the links ever die, same goes with the youtube vids

Thanks for posting those shows, I've seen the summer but not the winter one. I wish these shows would air or be available for purchase...kinda hard watching them on a little screen like that. By the way Troop any word on what Stroud plans to do next? Oh and why can't that guy ever catch any fish in his survival quests? I don't think he's caught anything bigger than a minnow, at least with a line and hook. Laughing

haha I know that is true, he's no Ray Mears when it comes to fishing Laughing

Les is negotiating (SP?) season 3, so it may happen ! Very Happy

Comcast doesnt have OLN anymore...They got rid of it. We have a channel called .Vs, but it doesnt play survivorman.

He does its true, even though he has really crappy fishihg gear latley he still has never caught anything. I dont know if its just bad luck or what but I think he should not waste his time on that anymore.

he did however catch a fish spear fishing
