In the dangerous depths of the Amazon Rainforest lurk predators of all shapes and sizes. Just one touch from a poisonous spider, army ant and caterpillar can kill and the constant rain and humidity do not make matters any better. After brushing up on wilderness and hunting tactics from the skilled Waorani tribe, Les will have to survive on next to nothing while capturing it all with the camera equipment he lugs around, trying to keep everything dry and in working order.

With temperatures of the sand reaching 60 C, Les has his work cut out for him surviving in the scorching red sands of the Kalahari Desert. With only enough water for four days, Les mimics the Bushmen and sits still in the shade during daylight. Night is another story, however, when temperatures drop to as low as 7 C. Can Les survive on locust and scorpions, or will he have to surrender to the sand?

Although snowmobiles are the main mode of travel in Labrador, dog sledding is the way Les will get around the freezing north. Even though he brought along a survival kit, including fishing supplies, duct tape, rope, his multi tool and a .22 rifle, he is still without the crucial essentials needed to survive Labrador in the winter. Unable to catch a break, Les hits a low point as he is forced to steal food from the dogs. When he finds himself completely stranded due to a rapid thaw and unable to continue on his journey, his only hope is to turn to the skies.

The Cook Islands are situated about as far away from everywhere as you can possibly get; the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Being one of the most deceptive places on the planet, this tropical paradise hides some horribly unperceivable dangers including the world’s most venomous fish, the stone fish. Les, equipped with only his scuba gear, is abandoned by his crew at sea to recreate a frightfully common occurrence; separated from your boat and left alone in the ocean waters. Utilizing a shipwreck on the beach of a small tropical island to live amongst the rats for 7 days, he uses his knowledge as a survival expert to make it through the week, alone. With a constant bombardment of tropical storms, Les must gather food, collect rain water and make his own tools, while surviving in the Cook Islands.
