Les Stroud Online

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, how’s it goin’ my name’s Stephen and I am 13 and was wondering how to get into season 2 or something like that, I think I would be a good comic relief character, so thank you.

  7. JV says:

    Hey I’m Jared and was wondering how to get on the show. I’m 13 and could be somewhat of a funny guy and could be the sarcastic kid from the suburbs. I’m also a fan of the show and have some survival skills. So for season 2 or a season in the near future i could be a character. I could also bring ratings up with the comedy which means more money in your pocket.

  8. Savage says:

    Hey, how’s it goin’ I think my other comment got deleted, but if it didn’t I’m sorry for posting two comments, but I was wondering if I could get into season 2 or another season I think that I would be a good comic relief character, I have a decent amount of survival skills, thank you.

  14. travbanet says:

    Hi my name is Travis Banet i just turned fifteen and I’ve grown up in the country in southern Indiana. My father has taught me to hunt, fish, and shown me what it was like to be in the forest since I was very young. My family and I have even gone a few miles into nearby state land and tried to build survival shelters just to see how well we could do this and how quickly we could we could build adequate survival shelters. I’m very fit I run track, do Tae Kwon Do, play tennis, and I even try to lift weights that we have at home. I swim in our pool almost everyday, so I am fairly adept in the water. I have passed both hunters education and boater safety classes that were required at our school. I hunt with a recurve bow and also in firearm season as well. Though I mainly just hunt during deer season. If there is a more formal way to sign up for the show I would greatly appreciate any information that anyone has on how to apply.
    Thank you greatly,
    Travis Banet

  15. Zach Elkins says:

    Les, I’m a scout out to prove that the BSA is about more than tying nots and helping old ladies across the street. You inspired me many years ago to develope my survival skills and they have helped on many occasions. I am an avid hiker and I am taking on the HH exspirience, Northern Tier and Philmont. It has been my dream to prove to myself that I can survive. I beleive that SURVIVE THIS is the best opportunity I could ever have. I am 15 and would greatly appreciate any info on auditions or contacts.
    Thanks,
    Zach Elkins

  35. Alex says:

    Dear Les Stroud,

    I’m Alex, 14 years old. I’ve watched all your ‘Survivorman’ episodes and I have to say, you’re really something out in the wild. I’ve gone camping before, and I’ve studied survival and I’ve learned it’s hard. I’ve had doubts, but I’ve decided I want to be on your show. I know you’re probably thinking I’m another attention seeking kid, but for about 2 years, I’ve started getting a strong urge for adventure. I want to be on your show to survive. I know that none of us wanting to get on your show really knows what it’s like, but I’ve prepped myself for the worst. I don’t want out. I want in.

    Sincerely,
    Alex
    San Diego, CA
