Stories of wrecked sailboats and lost sailors are as old as sea faring itself. Sailors have been lost, stranded, wrecked on reefs and crashed around in cyclones for centuries. Sadly, the story of Australian sailors Ian Thompson and Victorian Claus is one without a happy ending. Now, Les Stroud is tasked with reliving their South Pacific survival ordeal. Les strands himself on purpose, accompanied by his long-time survival buddy Bob Wilson, on a deserted island in the heart of the Kingdom of Tonga. They’ve grabbed ditch bags that contain a few survival items, but no fresh water, shelter or food. Les and Bob must rely on their extensive wilderness skills – and luck – if they hope to survive.

Survivorman Legends tells the real life stories of people who survived: those who suffered terribly but made it through and those who died trying. Here, Les mirrors the story of the Conne family: a father, mother and son who nearly perished when they got lost only 1700 ft. from their car near the west coast of Oregon. Les takes along his own surrogate family to make some of the same mistakes the Conne Family made, but on purpose. He also fixes some of the mistakes they made, too. Few of us can actually say what it feels like, can honestly say they know what it takes to survive. Safe and warm in our houses, the actions of others in survival situations often don’t even make sense — why didn’t they build a fire? Why didn’t they make shelter? Why didn’t they walk out? Les has said many times, unless you were there, you can’t know. This is Survivorman Legends.
