Les liked your show. I also like surviver man, no affiance here. My question is why is there hardly ever any animals caught or killed? Only insects or plants eaten. Would liked to have seen some traps that worked on air. I never saw a show that listed the things people should have with them while outdoors such as: no specific order, knife, latex gloves (water storage), metal match, space blanket, small amount bleach(water purification), folded aluminum foil(cooking) fish hooks-line(wrapped around lighter), whistle, 550 rope 30′, pack of gum/hard candy. All of this can be carried in a fanny pack or large pocket/zip locked bag. I have this and a little more in every car I own.
And not always but most rescues happen within 48 hours. If anyone was told where you were going?
I’m not trying to be to critical, just trying to help someone survive during our new terrorist times.
Again liked your show,
Opened my eyes a little wider.

Les, Your show has a great deal to offer in learning about the great outdoors. Thanks. Several of us are getting a bit ticked off with your constant and unnecessary comment that you hate to “take a life” or “hate to kill anything” and your constant failure to show us how to clean poison snakes and other wildlife to where it is safe to eat. Hell that is seriously important knowledge if you are having to survive! Stop holding back. The hate to kill commentary sounds more like a whiny politically correct sycophant than a person who is able to survive and teach others how to survive. It takes away from your show. Stop it. As Jack Webb says, just give us the facts. We can decide for ourselves if it is emotionally traumatizing. Carry on.

Hello Les,

I was never an outdoors kind of woman but as of lately I have been taking the trails around my house while my husband is at work. I have a better view on nature now thanks to you. I am not brave enough to go out on my own in the wild but if I ever get in the situation where I have to survive then I think I would know what to do. Thank you for the great show and the great advice. Keep your spirts high and keep doing a great job.

Hi Mr.Les,
I cant say Im a grown adult yet; at present being 14. I have never liked video games, watched cable,etc. However, I have always been into out doors, reading as much as I could to get information. SAS guide, Tom Browns,and then ….BAM! Your book on ‘Survive!’ hit me like a mac truck! No longer just facts, but a person actually showing that it can be done, rather than sitting in a puffy leather couch writting about it. The people who dont like you,(you’ll notice) are also the foul cursing mouths; their opinion only goes as far as their brain-2 square centimeters. As for the rest of us, there is a real reason- the fact that you go at it with a passion for outdoors;unlike Bear Grylls going “oooh-oo looke at meeee haha!” who needs ALL the attention. I only know that from one video I watched. Keep going with the show, but otherwise, God bless and safe keepings for you and your family!:)

The name says it all. I wish Les would run into Bear Grylls in the wild, Bear would eat him alive, crap him out, and use Stroud’s leftover face for toilet paper. Les really needs to disappear. I can’t stand him. Anytime I see or hear him on TV, I shut it off. I don’t change the channel, I don’t mute the tv, I shut it off completely. I can’t stand his face or voice, or the stupid crap that comes out of his mouth.

I can understand some of your points, however you go about it in such a huge negitive way. Granted I don’t know the area and it’s fish, but tell me, how the hell does being there harm the bears? As for the time of the search, do you really believe he called them and said, hey guys do you need practice finding people? Makes alot more sense to me that they called him, and said hey do you want to help us practice? I dunno, you seem kind of like someone stuck in his own head.

My son Evan and I would like to say thanks again for taking the time for the picture at “The Cottage” restaurant in Huntsville friday night. We were just talking about you earlier in the afternoon while trying to start a fire with a magnifying glass at our cottage we rented in Dorset. We talked about the episode you destroyed the video camera to get the glass out to start the fire from the sun. Within hours you were sitting down behind us for supper. Sorry for the interuption but we have been talking about that all weekend and will be for weeks to come. Hope you enjoyed the festival. We did. Thanks again Paul from Chatham Ontario

Hi Les,
I have lived off grid in Alaska and the Yukon for a lot of years. Like you we see many people out there who , for lack of a better word , are idiots. No respect and they think that the wild will last forever. I am very happy to see in your shows a teaching of respect for these values and I hope that people will take that respect out with them.
Keep up the great work and hope to see you on the trail one day.
