"
Les Stroud has a great survival show. He goes into the wilderness, alone and with no camera crew, for seven days to film himself in a real survival situation. The information and survival skills that he shows is accurate, and entertaining. This is not a boring show where he just talks about what to do, he demonstrates it in a very entertaining fashion. Unlike "Man VS Wild", Les is real. He does not fake his show or give wrong information. I highly recomend this show to anyone who is trying to learn survival information. Or anyone who just wants to watch a good show."
Great show

"Survivorman is an interesting show because it allows the viewer to step out of his/her normal civilized life and live vicariously through Les Stroud. You get to see the few parts of our world that are still fairly untouched and pristine, and perhaps ask yourself how you would survive.
I particularly enjoyed the behind the scenes portion of the DVD, because it showed how Les did his homework on every location, meeting with locals, studying with experts in the field, and getting everything in order for the big week on his own.
Highly recommended!"

"We have season 1 of Surviorman and thought it was much better than this one. Our family didn't think it was exciting as the previous season."
Alaska, the Amazon and the South Pacific...

"Besides the six episodes in this set, there is also The Making of Survivorman and a bonus - Surviving Alaska. I love Alaska, so having both the episode and the show in the set makes me very happy.
He really shares tons of information, and even shows where he got the skills and information in the special feature of The Making of Survivorman. Sometimes he screws up but sometimes he does such a good job you think even YOU could live on a Pacific Island without any problems."
I love this show

"This show is awesome. I love the outdoors, and backpacking is one of my favorite activities. I hike in the mountains for days, with a 40+ pound pack, and plenty of creature comforts. He does this without any food or shelter, while carrying masses of camera gear and filming himself solo. Season 1 is also awesome."
