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.
