Survivorman

The Boreal forest of Northern Canada is a vast tract of wilderness stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. It is home to moose and beaver, crisscrossed by rivers and lakes and frost-free for only about three months of the year. Les intentionally tips his canoe in mid-stream and crawls from the icy waters onto shore where he does a quick inventory of his supplies. A handful of cashews and beef jerky, a solitary match, a multi-tool and 50 lbs of camera equipment to document the next seven days in the bush.

A Costa Rican getaway - as far removed from everyday living as you can imagine: lush rainforests and deserted tropical beaches.

In this severe climate, Les has been equipped with a bare minimum of raw materials to aid him for the next 7 days - a hunk of uncooked seal-liver, some oil-rich blubber for heat, a seal-hook, three matches, and a knife.

The spectacular red landscapes of Utahs canyonlands are as beautiful as they are inhospitable.

Living "off the land" takes on a new meaning as Les Stroud casts off for a week at sea.

It also leaks air and requires frequent re-inflation with a hand pump - Survivorman is in for a busy few days!
