Les Stroud, "Survivorman"
The
naturalist star of the Science Channel hit "Survivorman" is a one-man army of
outdoor filmmaking. In each episode, Les, a few odd pieces of equipment, and
roughly 50 pounds of camera gear are dropped off in some remote, ungodly
location. For a solid week, Stroud must figure out how to thwart the
considerable forces of nature working against him and emerge intact. Oh, and he
has to film it all himself. Sound easy? Then you didn't watch the absurdly
resourceful Stroud nearly freeze to death in the Canadian Arctic, get mobbed by
fire ants in a Costa Rican rain forest, or miraculously build a "urine still" to
provide life-saving moisture in the Kalahari Desert. During it all, he remains
strangely humorous and enormously informative, a captivating character facing
very real danger around every blind corner. Screw Jeff Probst and his crew of whining reality stars --
the tribe has spoken, and it votes Les Stroud the craziest person in North
America. |
