I was on a fire deployment to california and bought Les's book about survival at the airport. I kinda didnt expect much, just a commercial for his show. It was pretty good really. Some good info, but really readable. I give it 2to thumbs up

i love his show, the 1st episode i saw he was in the mojave or arizona (can't remember) and i was so amused with the fact that he did this long walk off shot, then showed him going all the way back to get his camera. he also has a show called beyond survival that aired on discovery last year i believe.

I have been a big fan of Survivorman since the beginning. I like the fact that he films himself. He shows his failures as often as his successes, and is very candid about it: " well that didn't work, or this is really a lot harder than it looks. ". We take things for granted, and don't realize it may take an hour to start a fire. Traps, more often than not come up empty. Insects can be extremely problematic. He is always very candid about his situation, and has pulled the plug when he or his producers feel it is dangerous.

Because of this thread I jumped on to Netflix to see if they had it. Behold, a treasure from Netflix!!(they usually suck in my opinion) I watched all three seasons they had one after the other over the course of a week. Very entertaining, very informative and education for the newbie prep per/survivalist learner, and next best thing to being outdoors is at least watching someone else being outside! Hope he keeps making more. Can anyone recommend a really good survivalist book? Something worth packing away in the BoB for reference if needed? Thanks.

In case you have not yet heard, Les is filming more episodes of Survivorman. They will be due out soon.

F150MSGT - If you can find it "Camping and Wilderness Survival Skills" by Paul Tarwell. I have had my copy for at least 15 years, so I don't know if it is still in print. It is the most comprehensive guide to the outdoors I have ever seen. I keep it with my BOB.

He goes through every skill and discipline in every type of climate and terrain. If you find it you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for the info Robie. I will keep my ears and eyes open for his new shows.

Thanks for the speedy response Morgan. I found the book through Amazon for dirt cheap. I can't wait to open it and start putting some of that stuff to use.
