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, glad to see you’re doing something with kiddos. I’m working with two of my friends to reach out to middle school age boys who don’t have a father present. We’re going to teach them how to hunt, fish, tie knots, etc. Things they probably wouldn’t learn otherwise. Anyway, I just wanted to commend you on your series with the 14-17 year olds.

  39. Austin West says:

    Dear, Les

    I am all about surviving. I live in Kentucky,USA. I have heard about your Show teaching kids how to survive, that is just wonderful. I also teach younger kids how to survive and hiking safety through my Boy Scout Troop. I’m looking forward to get my Eagle rank advancement when I’m 15. I love to fish and many outdoor activities. Right now i am in the middle of my 3 year of commercial fishing on Kentucky Lake. I was just wondering if u were a Boy Scout? I really hope u could try to do a new episode in my neck of the woods. Their is a plethora of allergens in Kentucky, the docs say that its the worst place to be if u have asthma. I would really enjoy if me and you could talk sometime get to know each other, Because i think you would like my adventures just as much as i like yours
    Sincerely,Austin T. West

  40. Austin West says:

    When i turn 18 im going to do what Dick Prenokie did, go and live amongst the animals in Alaska or sail to the Cays off Jamaica, find me an island and settle in. Also i was wondering what did it take for u to start making survivor man episodes.

  45. William Day says:

    I really want 2 be on this show how do I sign up

  46. Demetrius pettway says:

    Plz tell me how to sign up for survive this am 14 and ready to thrive

  47. Demetrius pettway says:

    I belivie i should be on the show because i know a bit about the outdoors for example:

    Plants generally poison by–

    Ingestion. When a person eats a part of a poisonous plant.

    Contact. When a person makes contact with a poisonous plant that causes any type of skin irritation or dermatitis.

    Absorption or inhalation. When a person either absorbs the poison through the skin or inhales it into the respiratory system.
    Plant poisoning ranges from minor irritation to death. A common question asked is, “How poisonous is this plant?” It is difficult to say how poisonous plants are because–

    Some plants require contact with a large amount of the plant before noticing any adverse reaction while others will cause death with only a small amount.

    Every plant will vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies.

    Every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances.

    Some persons may be more sensitive to a particular plant.
    was that good for u :)

  48. Christian Hernandez says:

    Hey, im 14 years old I just finished watching your first episode on Survive This! I have watched your show for past couple of years. I would like to try this also. One question, how do you sign up for this program?

  49. alyssa tolison says:

    so far this show looks asome, so im wondering how do i get on it?
    i love being outside camping, getting dirty and everything and i would like a chance to show my friends and family that i can do almost anything…so im 14 years old, im the girls next door and i would really like to try some really challenging thing. thank u for ur time.

  50. Brianna says:

    Dear Les,
    I would love to be on the show! I love to camp and love to explore. It has been my DREAM to go out camping and rough it! I love to be surrounded by nature. I camp ALOT and love to hike through woods. I have seen your show and thought that would be sooo much fun. I know it is very hard but I am determined to do it. I love to build forts outside out of stuff like sticks and leaves. Like you would in the woods.I no how to build other stuff like I built a trap once. When i get older I want to travel the world to study animals, and would love to do this to teach me all sorts of stuff about nature and how to survive with almost nothing. I am learning some stuff by watching your show but it is hard to remember unless i am there! I think i would learn a lot if I was actually there though. I am only eleven (almost twelve) but i go to the gym everyday to become healthy enough so that I could be able to handle some of the hardships that i might meet. Also I am trying to have a much better diet so that I can eat anything that I would have to eat. I would be so happy if I was on the show because I would love to know all about nature and how to survive with it. I personally think that if I was on the show it would be the greatest thing that ever happened to me

    thank you so much,
    Brianna
