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.

also i dont know if im old enough? I also have know idea where tryouts are. Les or someone else please contact me, I dont mean to be pushy, but can you please?
Thank You,
Brianna

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.
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.
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.
Hey Les, or whoever is the webmaster reading this. Im a 19 year old boy, so time is short, and if i could be blessed with the opportunity to be on survive this, it would mean a lot to me.
I’m a huge fan of the show.It’s been my dream for years to do something like this.I’ve been camping a lot and I’ve watched you and “MAN VS. WILD” so that might help…I’m 17 don’t know how to sign up fot this thing but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to do this.Your my hero,my idle and my mentor.Please contact me if you think I may have a chance.
les i watch all your shows survivorman,survive this i am really athletic 16 yrs old have out door skills such as hunting,camping,gathering. And i would really appreciate it if you told me how to sign up for survive this thanks…..biggest fan…:)
I think i have what it takes to survive. I want to push my self to my limmits and hopefully suceed, with my determinationn. I want to do this for me, and be independent. I think being outdoors is awsome but the whole idea of surviving outdoors is even cooler and a challenge im willing to take. So please if you could, tell me how to sign up for Could You Survive This show than that would be GREAT!
Thank you,

I watched the advertisements on T.V. and I have to say that I think I could do the show. The problem is I have no idea where to tryout for the show. So if you could please anyone let me know, because this show looks like a challenge and I really need one.
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
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

Hey Im really interested in being apart of the show. I’m 18 years old so I may be to old but I have learned a lot from you and Im still learning by watching your shows over and over. Being apart of your show survive this would be a great opportunity to see if I really have what it takes to survive and to see if I truly have learned anything at all. Im really into the outdoors and I love pushing myself to new challenges and there is nothing more challenging than survival and I take everything you say and go through during your show to heart, whether its the loneliness you experience or the struggle to keep going I understand it all so well and I would really like to experience it. thanks for listening. -Timothy Lynch- 18, Southern Indiana

hey my names austin, im 14 and i signd up for your show. i just wanted to ask you the question who picks the contestaents
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
