Survivorman host Les Stroud uses the power of Twitter to answer the internet’s burning questions about outdoor survival. How do survivalists subsist on one bug a day?

    I remember his show being kinda asmrish like that guy that lives in the forest with his dog

    Nice that in the intro he never answered the question asked. The question was more about how are you able to cope with hunger.

    I won’t watch anything on netflix. / The mother bear is always close enough to kill you./ you don’t need a spoon to survive, it is nice. / I like to get well hydrated on the way to hike./ if these are the tings you are worried about in a survival situation you are going to die./

    I love how Less’ go to for judging volume is how much wine can I fit in it!

    “You don’t wanna wipe your butt with a Cactus plant”
    Similar story, while my cousin was in the Marines he sat on a cactus

    This dude is the real deal. His show was way before Bear Grylls popularized the genre.

  15. Connor

    We all know Bear Grylls is the *_real_* survival expert

    I took the Marine survival. The first thing we had to make was a wooden cup. Then a bowl and spoon.

    Hey Les! Thanks!
    Question ( I know you JUST answered a bunch of questions):
    I would think oral hygiene a fairly important goal. Would it be easy to just a pine sprig or pinecone? …And/Or might pine sap/pitch also act as disinfectant?
    I apologize, I’m just surprised by your previous answer…that you don’t worry about it out there.
    Much respect, Les! Be well

    I can personally attest to not wiping your butt with poison ivy. Just dontt do it. Unless you’ve got about 10 weeks to just lay on the couch in misery. If you do then its a 10/10 experience.

    Anything Les Stroud does is so what people need to see, he’s so straight forward and honest and open!!

    Why a spoon first? Isnt a bowl more usefull (its also a big spoon)?

  24. Calvin Walters

    November 30, 2020 at 1:08 am

    A container that holds 24 wine bottles… I’d pack 24 wine bottles (lol)

    November 30, 2020 at 7:25 pm

    Wait what? You can eat rotting meat? Then why in “into the wild” did the kid freak out when flies were around his meat because he was told its too late then?

  30. mick cv

    November 30, 2020 at 7:34 pm

    What you mean you don’t plan it? If you ate a big breakfast the morning of the day you going on a Survivorman shoot then wouldn’t you be planning that? Get what I’m saying? If you know in advance you’re going out on x day then you need to eat the exact same thing you do every day or you did plan it

  31. daneeehhhh

    Get a big plastic bin that fits around 24 bottles of wine and… fill that bin with 24 bottles of wine. You’ll thank me.

    My sister got trapped in her car in the snow for 4 days with her husband with no service. They eventually had to walk for 11 hours to find help but a survival pack could have helped so much

    Uh oh, the part about Les saying he doesn’t disinfect his hands is pretty suspect!!! lol

  43. ZDG

    November 30, 2020 at 11:31 pm

    14:02 – I love that Les acknowledges the all-caps thing. It’s SO annoying when folks write every single comment in all caps . Seriously, what do you think that accomplishes other than being obnoxious?

  44. clydemosis

    November 30, 2020 at 11:40 pm

    In a way, I’m crushed. The most important tool? I yelled “multi-tool” without thinking, since I watch the show so much. Should have thought about fire!

    I knew most of these answers having read your book “Survive” and “Will To Live” . . . and I did make my own mini survival kit for my own personal use (actually I made 80 of them and sold all but three). Inside the altoid-size tin were 2 anti-biotic bandaids, 2 alcohol pads, 8 water purification tabs, 2 lomotils (anti-diarrhea), 2 non-lubricated condoms, 2 safety pins, 4 strike anywhere matches, 1 birthday candle, 1 small firesteel, 1 bendable straw (the firesteel fit inside it), several patches of cotton (for fire-starting and to silence the tin’s contents), a duel edge lockback knife, 15-hour flashlight, button compass, matchbook of 10 matches, ready-to-go lure and line, ready-to-go bobber, hook and line, on 12′ cord, 2.5′ of orange electrical tape to waterproof the container. The container itself was polished to a mirror type brilliance. If you threw it in the water it would float. Given that I have 3 remaining I’ll send you one as a heartfelt gift. Just tell me where to send it.

    Les stroud is one of my favorite human beings. I admire and am in awe of his skill set. I would perish within 4 hours if left in the situations he put himself in. Very down to earth great sense of humor and a musician to boot!

    The thumb nail 😆😆. Where do find toilet paper..you don’t. But there is such things as leaves and grass. Hand full of grass works well….I’ve eaten cat tail before just to try it, I absolutely loved the taste. To me it tasted like a sweet lettuce. Was honestly surprised by the taste.

    I always have a bic lighter on me, but I also always have a knife (less than 3.5 inches so I’m not committing a felony when I go to my kids’ school) and ferro rod and at least a bit of cordage and a space blanket and emergency poncho, so I will last a minimum of 24 hours in a horrible situation. All that weighs less than a pound.

    I like the way you think, mister, and you talk about thinking a lot. I was fortunate to have a serious Scoutmaster who taught us that the brain is the first and most important tool to have with us in every situation. And while people are forever making ‘C’ lists of tools to bring along, and they’re often good lists, I think the first list of Cs should go like this:
    Cognition: Are you constantly observing and thinking, even when you’re doing boring things?
    Competence: Do you know about the area? Do you have a mental map? Are you real clear about what’s safely edible and what kind of critters live there? Do you know how to use those tools in your kit and do you know how to get by without them?
    Communication: A quick email saying ‘I’m going to be at this grid for these days’ before you go can save your life. Take note to communicate to yourself by writing things down, marking your trail, keeping tally of days.
    Condition: What kind of shape are you in? What are your physical vulnerabilities and how are you going to compensate?
    Care: Checking for ticks and not letting that scratch go unattended is important. I like how the “Jack Reacher” character always has a folding toothbrush on him, but you can still brush your teeth without one. Campfire charcoal and water works pretty good for washing your hands. Take care of that body, you’re likely to need it.
    Confidence: Keeping your spirits up and focusing on the (given) fact that you’re going to make it through no matter what is important.
    After attending to this list is when I start thinking about the external ‘C’ tools I’d like to have along.

    Les Stroud is such an inspirational and pragmatic survivalist. To this day, after all the craze of tv survival shows (of which his was way before most of) his still is one of the most informational and realistic.

    I don’t think most people understand that “aged beef” is a softer way of saying, “rotting beef.” No one wants to eat a rotting steak. But you tell them it’s an “aged steak” and suddenly, “oh, that sounds delicious!”

    If you’re allergic to aspirin be very careful with willow tea. Also, sphagnum was called blood moss ages ago, especially amongst menstruating women. It’s ridiculously absorbent. It’s true about them using it in/as diapers, too.

    TO say you are a big science guy and say something that is totally debunked nonsense about bacteria on our fingers… face palm. I gotta say its surprising how many people actually believe you compromise your immune system by cleaning your hands or disinfecting things. Good bacteria lives in your stomach… it doesnt somehow live in your finger nails and hands and keep you safe. As much as 75 percent of the public believes you have to test your immune system against bacteria to keep it strong. its nonsense.

    For anyone who is driving in winter, even in the city, or out of city limits, dress like you’re going to walk. My dad’s best advice. Even if it’s just a coat with gloves and hat tucked in the sleeve, thrown into your trunk or backseat, and you think you wont need it. It never hurts to have and you’ll thank yourself for having it when your car breaks down and you arent totally freezing and bound to your car-coffin.

    Dress like you’re going to walk.

    Always loved the show. Born and raised in Northern Ontario, really happy to see a shout out to Temagami where my family has hunted and fished for decades. Definitely not a place you want to be lost during the winter, but the best thing for it is indeed fishing and trapping to survive. Also the Forest Chickens (aka Ruffed Grouse) are plentiful in the Temagami area if you can catch them.

    Yeah def just go on the hike for a year…that mortgage, car payment, bills in general that job that you use to pay all those said bills, eh they cant wait the year. No problem your boss and bill collectors will understand we know all bill collectors understand when you take a yr to go hiking

    How much does a “Survivorman” make a year? Do you need a bachelors degree, or is it an apprenticeship scenario? Who is your superior/boss? I’m asking the real questions here.

    Can you name some safe bugs to eat in larger amounts, like I assume Ants are safe to eat, but is it viable to eat 30-40 or more ants (fishing with a stick or something) the way apes do?
    Are termites better to eat?
    What shouldn’t I eat, I assume ladybugs are bad to eat, I don’t know why… is that true? I’d avoid colorful insects and mostly eat black beetles I think…. and ants/worms… is this good instinct?

    This guy is such a tool. At least bear grylls did his show to inform people about how to survive should they find themselves those scenarios. This guy just did it to try to seem like a badass.

    To be honest, unless you genuinely are lost without supplies there’s no excuse for not brushing your teeth. If you know you’re going out to the woods to be with nature, you might as well bring a toothbrush and some paste at least. You can brush dry if you have to and swallow or spit out the paste.

    Hmm- my knife is called the Tamagami- it’s made by Helle- well, actually the blank was made by Helle- I put the handle on it and made a sheath for it. One of the hardest blanks to handle I’ve ever messed with- that 3/4 tang really complicates things. But, best knife I’ve ever used once I got it done- the handle to blade ratio is perfection, very comfortable in cold weather with the 3/4 tang, and the scandi grind is super easy to service on the trail. There aren’t many knives you can baton with and then turn right around and make a feather stick or carve a intricate trigger with the same knife- and it shines in both roles. Never understood why it didn’t become more popular than it was- I think it not being full tang put some ppl off- as well as it being stainless instead of carbon steel- but I like that.

One of the hardest blanks to handle I’ve ever messed with- that 3/4 tang really complicates things. But, best knife I’ve ever used once I got it done- the handle to blade ratio is perfection, very comfortable in cold weather with the 3/4 tang, and the scandi grind is super easy to service on the trail. There aren’t many knives you can baton with and then turn right around and make a feather stick or carve a intricate trigger with the same knife- and it shines in both roles. Never understood why it didn’t become more popular than it was- I think it not being full tang put some ppl off- as well as it being stainless instead of carbon steel- but I like that.

    one thing whit the meat you need to prep it real good or else you got poison.
    I mean just rotten fish can kill you and I dont think a campfire can do anything to fix it.
    Surströming that been fermented rotten fish is safe to eat but it takes a lot of preparing for it to be a thing that you can eat.

    Moss is good if it’s in your area, but lots of places dont have moss. So in that case… use a smooth rock. Never run the risk of putting some kind of poisonous or rough plant up there. Plus lots of little bugs, ticks etc. will be living on those plants.

    For those wanting a toothbrush in the woods, that’s easy. In the olden days, they chewed on the end of a twig until it was soft and bistly. You’ll have to figure out your own toothpaste though, because their main active ingredients were charcoal, salts, and a small amount of your own urine.

    I’m not a dental professional and I’d really like one to comment or someone who has knowledge to let me know if it makea sense, but isn’t the fact that he’s in nature eating(when he does) roots, hardshells insects ( probably ) and fruits mostly making it less needy to brush your teeth as opposed to if you’re eating meat, cheese, etc?

    Not that it’s good, but l wonder if the fact that he eats less and that he eats different food might not be as bad if he doesn’t brush his teeth as it would be otherwise or even not doing any damage at all.

I feel like watching survivorman has given me enough knowledge to, maybe not last a long period of time, but at least buy me enough time to hopefully be rescued. But you never know, I might surprise myself. Thanks for passing on your knowledge.
