Wahooo!!! I just got e-mailed the sneak preview of the Premiere Trailer for the third season of Les Stroud's Survivorman. Here it is below... I can't wait to see the whole season! See the trailer here:
Also, Les Stroud has a piece in Studio Monthly, an extract from Les Stroud’s book about his experiences. It is called 'Survive!: Essential Skills and Tactics to Get You Out of Anywhere – Alive' and will be released from HarperCollins this month.
Read the article called Backwoods Warrior.
"At the end of the summer, I was checking my BlackBerry when I saw that my sister had sent me a text. Survivorman had just been nominated for three Gemini awards (Canada’s version of the Emmys). I was up for best director and best host, and the musicians on my show for best music. Seven years after I first pitched the idea and 22 years after I first had it, this moment came as a fleeting but sweet vindication of the many years of hard work and struggle before it. I learned a lot along the way and I can say with certainty there is no such thing as an overnight success.
At some point during the first media-frenzied days in 2000/2001 when the CBS series Survivor hit big, I began getting calls from radio and TV stations to do interviews. "We want to know if this is really survival or just bunk?" they would ask me. By this time, I had made a very small name for myself as an outdoor adventurer, filmmaker and survival instructor with my film Snowshoes and Solitude. "

4 Bahs!:
I enjoy Survivorman also.
Nice blog you have. Very informative.
I appreciate your comments on my blog, regarding my Indian artifact finds.
Pure agony. I have to wait for each season to come out on DVD, then rent it from netflix. Such a lllloooonnnngggg wait!
I bought the last DVD set just last night and came home to see this post on SurvivorMan. Sat up till past mid-night watching a couple of episodes. Never seen it before. I like it. Lots of primitive skills...handdril & bowdrill fire-making, a fire-carrier, stone tools...I loved it. The skills advisor for the desert episode was David Holladay, of the Boulder Outdoor Survival School...cool. Good show.
Number one thanks for checking out my blog.
Number two You have a pretty nice blog your self.
And number three thank God Survivorman is going to have some new shows, so my kids have some good tv to watch.
