What show was it then that showed the death (by lizard bite) of the
host in wilderness reality show. Come on, it was obviuosly a joke.
I took it serious because the show even had a (in memory of) part at the end of the show also saying that his video camera was found close to a village. The lizard stalked him for a day or two and the
infection did him in.
thats lost tapes about the giant megalizard, i saw that one. it doesnt even come on discovery, so fail guy, fail.
? Why would people randomly come up with something without hearing it from a site like this or his site he runs. Stupid O_o
I believe that the reason this rumor is circulating is due to the fact that one of his avid fans has died trying Les Stroud’s techniques. A man was found dead in Ontario while trying to complete the techiques shown on survivor man.
People of course, being human, automatically assumed that it was Les Stroud himself, that had died, and not someone else who took it upon themselves to try his wilderness survival without the proper knowledge or training.
A very unfortunate rumor, for sure.
that was the ( lost tapes episodes )evidentally they show stories of possible unexplained events happining world wide also one of military men eatin by a mysterious cave creature
Hey everyone listen up! Les is a veteran of the bush. I really dont think that he was stalked by a lizard, and then bitten. Anyone who watches his shows, can tell he would probably bite the lizard first! lol. In my opinion, he had the lizard for dinner, then played an awesome tune on the old harmonica! If me, and my son had the chance to go on a survival journey with MR. Stroud, I would’nt worry in the least. We would SURVIVE!
LOL… “Veteran of the Bush my hind parts.” This guy is a self promoting phoney with no real survival skills. LOOK AT HIS PERSONAL BIO ON HIS OFFICIAL WEBSITE. He has no training or experience in survival. I’ll take a grad from ANY escape and evasion class anytime. If you follow his advice you probably will die. Striking his magnesium fire starter with the CUTTING EDGE of his knife? (Utah Canyonlands) IDIOT. Leaving a camp with water thirty feet down (I’m ledged up, if I climb down I’ll never get back up.”), hiking off after disassembling a transportation means (the mountain bike) looking for water, and then climbing down 150 feet to a dry creek bed in an arroyo whose bottom he cannot see??? Dolt. Then, if you are lost, tryig to find a way out to civilization you move DOWNSTREAM, not up. Do yourself a favor, get any military manual on survival or a good backpacking book (Collin Fletcher is dated but good) and learn REAL wilderness skills. I hope his legal disclaimers are really good for the day when someone dies from following his tripe.
I heard today 2/18/10 that Les had died in a volcano doing a survivor tape .Is this one a lie also ,if not I am sorry to know his dead because I watch his program and love them .sincerly chedy
I heard he had returned from the bush after an expedition. During which included the stalking and killing of a lizard with a needle extracted from a cacti, shot through a water reed at 50 feet. (Dang your good Mr. Stroud) Then, upon returning he stopped at a McDonald’s and had lunch which did him. LOL!
that is really stupid for everyone that makes up rumors. i mean come on we arent in high school anymore be mature.
What has happened? Nothing but reruns.
les is great for these things he showes the world how to survive in places we are not supost to he is not dead at least i have herd any news of this and i hope not!!!!!
Hi all, Les Stroud is still very much alive. John, the survivor guy you mentioned getting stalked and eaten by a lizard was a mockumentary episode from Lost Tapes, Devil Dragon. Its is season one of the lost tapes series.

Guys.. Please. Do yourselves a favor. This guy puts our stuff that will leave you dead. Get a military survival manual, a good backpacking book, or the old FoxFire book series and LEARN how to really survive.
According to Wiki: “Stroud stopped videotaping Survivorman after the third season due to what he described as the significant physical toll of videotaping each episode but now stars in the show Survive This, where groups of teens are challenged with the same struggles of survival that Les himself faced.”
Wonder what really happened. Someone finally figure it out and cancel him? Some estate of someone who died sue? Curiouser, and curiouser.
Haven’t seen the Gryllis series, but at least his credentials show something more impressive than Stroud’s which include Garbage Collector (Wiki), Musician and paddling the canoes for rich city folks looking for a “wilderness experience”…
Lastly, these shows are ENTERTAINMENT, peeps. THey keep making money by KEEPING YOU WATCHING. Shocking and weird stuff keeps you watching, and is “entertaining.” Real survival is boring, difficult and really dangerous: not entertaining. There are REAL places to learn those skills. Please don’t depend on TV shows when your life is at stake.
So when are you gonna do that Playgirl photo shoot?
i love your show les
