Survive This!

survive-this-web

No videogames, no Internet, no food court... no kidding! This is real.

In the tradition of the hit series Survivorman, Survive This follows in Les Stroud's footsteps by empowering kids to explore their connection to the wild.

Eight kids between the ages of 14 to 17 are taken into the wilderness with Les Stroud as their mentor. Chosen for their unique personalities and overall adventure readiness, these kids are vying to fulfill a self-determined goal that is both personal and inspiring. They are challenged physically, emotionally and intellectually. Each episode presents a different survival challenge - devised by Les Stround himself! Over the course of the series, we get to know the kids very well as relationships develop, conflicts erupt and emotions run wild. Les IS Survivorman, and he knows better than anyone that sometimes when it comes to survival you only get one chance. He'll be looking for that individual who is willing to learn and grow under the most difficult situations. And yes - these kids do have to survive.

    Hey Les,

    I’ve been an outdoors guy all my life enjoying everything from fishing to farming. No matter what the weather is, you can usually find me outside. I’d rather be outside enjoying the fresh air than being inside the house.

    I am a creative and resourceful guy. I enjoy the challenge of making things work or finding a solution to a problem.

    I would love to be part of ’survive this’ and hope you will consider me.
    Thanks,
    Chris Bouchey, Age 14

    Dear Mr. Les Stroud,

    I would love to try out for your show Survive This! My name is Dalton Robinson, I am 15 years old and I love to watch your shows they truely inspire me. I would love to go on your show because I think it would be an amazing experience to do the kind of stuff that you do on a regular basis. I applied for the Adrenaline Project, but Boomer apparerntly didn’t pick me being the idiot he is.

    I think you should pick me because I would be great to be just like you and I basically know everything because you taught me everything I know about the wilderness, how to survive, what plants to eat and which ones not to eat and,that you should always be on your guard especially in the wilderness.

    So please e-mail me back I would love to participate on your show.

    Sincerley,

    Dalton Robinson

    Hi Les!
    My name is Parmida and I will be turning 15 on August 29 2010. (born in 1995). I live in Toronto but my heart belongs to nature.
    I am a very adventurous, outgoing girl and I love to take on new challenges!
    I have been hiking, camping, ziplining, skydiving, and repelling and I know I have what it takes to survive. I am also a great athlete and play various sports such as skiing, snowboarding, swimming, water skiing, wakeboarding, figure skating, dance, volleyball, track, and basketball. I am a great team player, and work well independently. Give me your hardest challenge and I will make it look easy!

    Looking forward to a new season!
