its about time,i cant believe he survived this long,if it wasnt such a comedy i wouldnt even watch it,because you gotta admit it is funny,he has to be the worst survival expert on the planet,this last season was the worst,he hasnt started a fire the hard way in two seasons,i think he used a lighter on the last one and made a big deal outta that,goodbye survivorman,make room for new seasons of man vs wild a true survival expert
Im glad I am not the only one. This guy was absolutely terrible. The boy scout troop around here would make [him] cower home in shame. He should have pulled the plug on himself to save some embarrassement . the worst by far

I wonder if Les would be willing to lead the show as producer or, even better, get someone else like survivalist advisor Ron Hood to lead the show.
It would be funny: Ron Hood, the same guy that worked on the original MvW (and currently disavows it for the way it sensationalizes the act of bushcraft to the point of aggrandized blunder) having the sort of show where he can show the real aspects of what bushcraft is about on a show known for showing the reality in "reality" television.
I hope Les will be back. He is far better then MvW. Les shows survial just like it should be shown, no thrills and doing things in a safe and reasonable manner. He may not be perfect, but that is the challenge of survival. MvW offers nothing for true survival knowledge, it if anything tells people to do the worst things in survival. Always taking idiotic risks and he doesn't show how to survive over long periods without abunch of assistants. Thanks Les for all the great episodes.
Les is the best survivor show out there, Bear sucks! He is always jumping around taking stupid risks almost hurting himself on every show, he has help and he is just annoying to watch. Les explains in detail of how to everything you need to do to survive. The reason Les didnt do the other ways of starting a fire is because he has already done it. He's showed so many different ways of starting a fire. Obviously the people talking bad about the show dont even watch it. Go watch MvsW and when the time comes for you to really survive lets see if you learned anything except for eating bugs.
I hated to hear that. I enjoy watching survivorman. MvW just keeps running like an escaped convict. You don't learn much from his show. I hope Les will do some specials or something. You're the man Les. Good luck.
I think Les does a great job. His show is better than MvW because it shows you how to survive for a week. Bear has his own TV crew to help him, and he was even caught getting hotels rooms when he was supposedly in the "bush." Plus he runs around too much and jumps from places no sane person would do. Les's show is more realistic. And its relevant if we happened to be lost somewhere.
I don't like Man vs wild. Bear doesn't explain things like Les. Plus he has a camera crew there with him. Les was a true survivalist he had no one to film him.
I believe that bears_da_man has never actually watched an episode of Man vs Wild. Of course it would be difficult to actually watch something when you’re licking the TV screen the entire time…
i have to say that Bear was somewhat better than Les, considering that Les never jumps into the freezing oceans or even sinks into a bog purposely to show how to survive and in the case of hypothermia, what to do whan you get out of a freezing hole filled with ice and a bottomless ocean. Bear Grylls rules over Les. (EASILY).
i'm glad they still show reruns, if not i wouldn't know anything about it. good thing they show it on the science channel too, cause i saw an advert for survivorman season premiere march 4. sweetness...
well Les shows you how to avoid getting into that mess. there for Les is best. thanks discovery for keeping the reruns going I never miss it. and trolls if you don't like the show don't watch.
dear mod ivy i take it your a big survivorman fan also,i notice how you slice and dice my posts to suit your needs,i never personally attack your forum brethren,but you allow their personal attacks to remain posted (not cool)dont you realize these people need me ,it gives them some sort of purpose to defend their precious hero,without negative there is no positive,i know this will be deleted also,but its more for you to read,as long as im not breaking any rules my posts should be left alone.but thats just my opinion,be a fair moderator,let freedom of speech reign

well dubya dubya i appreciate the advice although i have no idea who the people are you speak of,it goes without saying,the censorship on this forum borders on nazizm(not meant to offend mod ivy or anyone else)but i like to post my extreme dissatisfaction of this series somewhere someone from discovery will see it,i dont think they would look over the mvw forum for negative comments on survivorman,so i post here in the hope they will cancel his ridiculous show and play more interesting shows because i truly enjoy their programs just not this one,the insults mean nothing to me or the troll comments,i just ask for equality,in this highly predjudiced forum,i almost guarantee no one in this forum voted for barrack obama either ,she has deleted several of my rebutal type posts that didnt insult people,but whatever,i have several e-mail adresses,and will continue to post my dissatisfaction for this terrible show ,good day all

Feel free...but you're wasting a lot of your, presumably, valuable time. You might take a little of that time to famliarize yourself with the "Visitor Agreement" - which include "...Discovery.com cannot monitor all the posts in the chat rooms..."
It's HIGHLY unlikely they'll ever see your complaints, unless someone flags them...and then it will only be to remove them. Take formermarine's advice and complain to the right people. There's nothing WE fans can do to help your problem.
survivorman is great! i've only seen 7 or 8 shows, so, i can't wait to see them all. too bad i missed this show when it first started. guess i'll have to buy the dvds..
You've got to be kidding. Bear Grylls is the fakest of the fake. He always looks like he stepped out of a bandbox, perfectly groomed and in stylish outdoor gear. He catches game way too frequently and you know he's got help because nobody on their own with minimal gear catches game that often in a survival situation. Les Stroud is by far more authentic. He films his own show, he has nobody to provide room and board just outside camera range like Bear does, and he actually has to hunt his own survival food. I can't believe anyone would fall for Bear Grylls, who always just happens to have the right cord or 'homemade' professional looking fishhooks or who builds a shelter in 15 minutes...Come on.
well.i am back,much to my dismay survivorman continues to survive,well not Less....now he is stranding young kids in the woods and advising them how to survive,,what a pathetic sham,,i guess thats all hes really good for though,,giving advice,reciting from survival manuals,because god knows he dosent know anything from personal experience,,the so called expert that starves for a week,,god i feel sorry for those kids although any 14 year old will probably do a much better job than Less (yea i know les is mispelled)
But you even admit it's funny. If he had so much personal experience it would be another lame, boring, staged show done by some guy hoping to get some sort of notariety out of being stuck on a hill.

I suggest that you know what you are talking about before you go off slandering someones name, it may save you from a lawsuit...
In 1987 he made a break for it and spent the next seven years traveling Canada as a canoe guide and wilderness instructor. He developed his own outdoor company called Wilderness Voice (still in operation) and paddled numerous Canadian rivers as a whitewater guide for Black Feather Wilderness Adventures.
After Stroud met his partner in life, Sue Jamison, also an outdoor enthusiast and photographer, the two spent an entire year living in the remote boreal forest of northern Ontario. They lived as if it were 500 years ago — no matches, no metal and no tent — just a stone axe and their knowledge of traditional bush survival.
Stroud filmed the entire adventure, eventually releasing the odyssey as a one-hour documentary called Snowshoes and Solitude. In addition to being an award-winning filmmaker, Stroud is also a recording and touring musician.
Then of course, you can add 3 seasons of Survivorman to his biography.
What exactly are your qualifications that allows you to be so critical of Les Strouds survival knowledge?
Obviously, you MUST be far more informed on survival than Les is to make the informative and enlightening posts that you make.
Feel free to let us know about YOUR survival knowledge and experience and let us know when YOU will have a show go 3 seasons on Discovery!
being a river guide,ooo thats some good credentials there,,,,my opinions come from 3 seasons of watching that pathetic bald hobo bumble around in the woods,,i am no survival expert ,which is why i like watching these type of programs,, to learn,, but how can you take advice from someone that cant get his own lessons right,, he fails all the time and is stupid enough to film it,anyone that has to practice survival with the natives prior to filming is no expert imho ,,i would not want to be stranded somewhere with les,,he would get you killed
oh by the way washedupmarine,what exactly qualifies you as a survival expert ,,,the marines???all they teach you is how to die,,you guys are like the pawns in the chess game of war,,semper fi
Me a survival expert? No. (never said I was)
You know even less about the Marines than you do survival.

Excuse Me? I guess you should go off and find out who your threatening, then you can get the lawyer.
I wasn't talking to you, nor was I threatening anyone. Go back and read what was said.
Well, I found and replaced a faulty circuit breaker in my BSometer. Once I powered it back up, it functioned normally and automatically triggered the "Ignore Poster" option a few times.

Okay, I have gotten threatened like a hundread(sss)of times, and that is a threat. But if you want to keep it up then go ahead. But we will be talking about how cute, sexy and innocent Mr.Survivor Man is.
Aww, I'm sorry ditobox, but since I got my BSometer functioning properly again, I can see that you posted, but the post itself was ignored by my BSometer, so obviously it wasn't important.
Since your finally done threatening or bribing or whatever you were trying to do with your lawyer post, I can go on about how well Mr. Survivor Man did (does?) on the shows. I thought they were funny and original. I don't think Bear does a bad job, I just like Mr. Survivor Man's developed style.
As much as I do love Mr.Survivor Man I really hope they cancel the show, or else change it because you can't possible send someone into 104 degree heat with no water for 7 days. That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. I cracked up laughing so many times because I couldn't believe this was actually happening. It is important to have essential survival skills but you can not publicize and therefore encourage people to risk their lives this way. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
"because you can't possible send someone into 104 degree heat with no water for 7 days"
I guess you didn't actually WATCH that show, because they DIDN'T send him in with no water.
And you're too late with your suggestion to cancel the show, the last show has been broadcast and the series is at an end.
"I couldn't believe what I was seeing."
Well, since you seem to have "seen" something that was only in YOUR head...maybe you should examine your ability to tell the difference between what's on TV and what you THINK you are seeing.
im glad to know this is it for mr survivor man im tired of listening to his babble. always complaining about his camera. the shark show he was on really, overdramatic. just babble. i think canada is best for him. mabe managing a dog sled tour.

Who do you think you are talking to? Because I don't actually have the option of running around making things up, like I was living in a fairy tale like other people. I actually did watch the show, actually will respond to you and actually will be right, that's just my life!

Whatever, are you saying that he had so much water he didn't have to make his own? Why would I be here if I didn't watch the show? It's probably over because they will have a mega lawsuit if anything happens to my handsome, prize winning Mr.Survivor Man.
Give it a rest. The show is OVER. No matter how "godly" you are you can't change what has happened in the past...and Survivorman has NO FUTURE.[/QUOTE]
