Utah Canyonlands
The spectacular red landscapes of Utah’s Canyonlands are as beautiful as they are inhospitable. Like outlaws of old who were known to eat their own horses out of desperation in this forlorn place, Stroud will cannibalize the mountain-bike he has ridden into the middle of nowhere. As well as these scavenged bike parts to aid him, he also has a multi-tool, a magnesium flint stick and an old energy bar that he uses for a purpose other than eating.

Plane Crash
In the remote winter bound forests of Northern Ontario, a crashed plane lies in the snow beside a frozen lake. But this plane didn’t crash here. The plane wreck has been air dropped from a helicopter to provide the perfect conditions for Survivorman to simulate being the victim of a plane crash. For a week Les will have to survive in this brutally cold and snowy wilderness with only an axe, multi-tool and a single blanket to aid him.

Lost At Sea
Living “off the land” takes on a new meaning as Survivorman Les Stroud casts off for a week at sea. With no food and only a bare minimum of equipment, Les will be set adrift in an inflatable life raft off the coast of Belize. Battling hunger, thirst and the Caribbean heat, he must also keep his cameras dry to film the ordeal. To top it off, not only does the life raft have a few bad water leaks, needing constant bailing but it also leaks air, requiring Les to frequently re-inflate it using only a hand pump. Survivorman is in for a busy 7 day adventure.

Canadian Boreal Forest
The Boreal Forest of Northern Canada is a vast tract of wilderness stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. It is home to 85 species of mammals including; moose, deer, bear and wolves. Crisscrossed by rivers and lakes, the Boreal forest is frost-free for only about three months of the year.

Canadian Arctic
Pond Inlet, on the northern reaches of Baffin Island provides one of the most challenging landscapes our planet has to offer. Over 700 km north of the Arctic Circle, it sits amidst grinding, ever-shifting flows of sea ice where polar bears roam in search of fresh meat. 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.

Canadian Rockies
This episode sees Les air dropped onto a snow covered peak in the Canadian Rockies, courtesy of the Canadian Mountain Air Rescue Service. They’ll come looking for him in seven days. Until then, Les is entirely on his own; save for the grizzlies, cougars and wolves that also call this place home. To emulate a real life survival scenario, in this case a heli-hiking expedition gone wrong, Les has with him only a few readily salvageable items, among them a broken camcorder and tripod. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
