Tonga
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.

Oregon
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.

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.
