Survivorman | India | Les Stroud
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- Les travels to Northern India to survive with no food, no water, no shelter and no camera crew. Leopards, snakes, territorial honey bees and the infamous Royal Bengal tiger all pose threats to Les’s survival. But the animals he’s been cautioned about the most? Wandering herds of wild elephants.The constant threat of predators has Les surviving on high alert. He journeys small pathways through the forest, trails nomads have carved out over hundreds of years that lead to and from ancient jungle temples, in search of wild edibles and fresh water. This area is listed as the densest tiger territory in Northern India, so building shelter on the ground is not an option. He lights fire with elephant dung and endures sleepless nights by firelight, ever-vigilant for signs of tiger attack. It is a test of willpower and endurance: India is like nowhere Les has survived before.

Lol no more pirating for me
Meh just as free as tv. Got an internet bill, and have to consume advertisements. Not much changed.
Drag red dot to the end.. U may and or U may not.. Get hit with an ad.. then press replay... No ads..
@@christinefarrow1315 If this works im gonna be pissed because I have watched at least days worth of youtube without knowing that.
@@christinefarrow1315 you goddam genius! Delete this before yootube finds it. 👍😂
You know Indias for real when Les is in a concrete house for shelter but he's still afraid of what's our there.
yeah man, Bengal Tigers are the most dangerous of any big cat on the planet, damn near perfect apex predators, and Leopards are not far behind at all, they are just as deadly even though they aren’t as large and if i had to survive for a few days out in the jungle with them and saw scale viper snakes, king cobras and tons of other endemic life on my own without any protection i’d probably have an anxiety attack lmao
The fact that tigers are so big and powerful, agile and dexterous, have a curious nature and can squeeze through many holes, can climb trees and swim across rivers makes it the most complete apex predator on the planet...the only thing it can't do it stand up on its hind legs and tap dance...but imagine if it could! Scary thought....
Funny thing is, I thought this video would take place in the forests or jungles of the Ghats in Southern India, so I was almost relieved when he said he’s in North India 😅
@@lordcuddlebuttz3336 Lions will ignore you but Tigers will eat you.
If you carry a surfboard in the jungle tigers get confused and leave you alone - Australian tip haven't seen my beer buddie aus mate for years now though
This video is a SHINING example of why Les Stroud is the finest survival instructor on the global stage. Not only does he demonstrate a careful, considered, methodical approach to survival, he never fails to also demonstrate respect for the land and the people and culture of that land (and in this particular case, the religion). Thank you Mr. Stroud for putting these on RUclips for all of us to enjoy.
There is no need to respect the culture for itself, or the religion at all. Respect the people and their free will, and their customs which aren't morally compromising, and the fact of their beliefs. I would not perform the rites of any of these pagan cultures under any circumstance. Follow the dictates of your conscience and not the dictates of random cultures.
@@valthiriansunstrider2540 found the anti religion guy
Try Ray Mears as well
@@valthiriansunstrider2540 stfu stop acting like you above the rest of us
And he went into tiger and leopard country alone. As someone who lives in tiger, leopard, and bear country I know full well that no other 'survival' expert would do that.
Les Stroud truly is the Anthony Bourdain of the survival world. He is cool, respectful, curious and entertaining. A true gentleman global citizen.
a cook~~?? sad comparison.
@@colinjames2469 a word class chef, a world class traveller reporter , had two of the best shows on television and best selling author !!! He was not just a cook. If you knew anything about Bourdain you would know it was a high compliment.
Bring back "Survivorman" !!!!!!! This guy is a real inspiration to me !!!!!!! Thank you Mr Stroud !!!!!
I've always said that Les is the only realistic Survivorman.
Ray mears is a very skilled survival specialist also les is les though he does his own thing its awesome
So wrong
I think Ray Mears and Glenn Villeneuve are great as well.
I’m a big fan of Ed Stafford as well
@@Thunderbolt210 I stopped watching him after he faked a rabbit hunt.
This is honestly the only episode that I've watched that had me nervous and scared for Les. The thought of a lurking tiger is terrifying.
the one where he's in the rainforest is scaier. twards the end
@@ornifexx3046 When he was being stalked by the Jaguar was it?
I did see a wild tiger in india in a national park - guide told me 2 or 3 tourists go missing like just gone every year ... I suggested single file through jungle was not a good idea .. he just laughed oh yes sir ..
No matter how much knowledge and care you bring, a predator comes TO YOU
Before the Vietnam War tigers and leopards were a real danger living in the mountains of laos. They killed hundreds of people every year
By far the most nervous I have ever seen him in any of his survival surroundings. I love the show and the fact that he is doing it ALONE. Doing double the work for all the camera set-ups and retrievals. Les you are "The Man", Rock on.
This was the only episode where I actually legit feared for Les Stroud. Every other episode was about surviving harsh weather and climate, finding food, building shelter, etc. But this episode was entirely about predators hunting you down.
This one and the one where he had to flee to the village with a jaguar stalking him. Big cats man, not to be messed with.
He had two armed guards with him - what are you talking about
@@chrisbaxter3597 watch The Ghost And The Darkness. 2 armed guards means nothing.
@@chrisbaxter3597 that's to say they'll be paying attention if a tiger comes for you or they'll hit their shot, or the shot will drop the tiger right away. Just cause you have guards, doesn't mean you're 100% safe.
@@mwdouglas3794 So what- he decided to go there for narcissist and financial gain - if the tigers decide they don’t like him in their territory- the tigers should not be harmed - am I supposed to have sympathy for a dick who puts himself in such a ridiculous position
I'm from the U.S. and having been watching your shows since I was a kid. My wife's Indian, and I spent a few years living in Kolkata. I'd love to see you do another few episodes in India--maybe Kerala, Odisha, or the Sundarbans!
Bro, just trying to live in India right now is pure survival.
Prayers to the Indian people.
@RAUL CONRAD USA is safer. Don’t fall into that democrat garbage
@RAUL CONRAD it’s really not
@@EmillioMelendez Democrats are running the show now, sixteen years will be here before you know it! ENJOY
@@EmillioMelendez A million dead and millions of damaged and you think it is politics.
@@Jc-ks5lx what’re you on about?
This is the only one episode scares the shit outta me.
A predator in blended bush is ain't no joke.
Trust me dude. I have spent a lot of my life in these jungles, usually in the safety of a jeep safari. But even then, the stories I have heard of tigers and other cats is simply crazy. There are some books written by Jim corbette (maneaters of kumaon, Man eating leopards of Rudraprayag etc) are just bone chilling. It is a myth that big cats don't attack human settlements. Its about chance and a weak prey.
@@RResidentAlienNN The mask helps a bit since big cats need to be stealthy. There are a lot of things the locals follow. Like There is usually an update every morning from rangers about the movement of the big cats, sloths (if they are spotted), packs of wild dogs and elephant herds. Locals also don't venture out too far into the forest. And they usually do this in pairs. One keeps a watch, the other does the gathering or chopping wood. Sometimes they light fires if they have to stay longer. Fire is one of the best deterrent to any animal. But locals usually don't light fires in the dry season.
@@RResidentAlienNN What has also happened over the ages is that 70% of Indian forests are now Urban areas. And Tiger conservation efforts has concentrated tigers in a smallish area. That's why coming across a tiger in these forests is more common as opposed to when the whole country was a big forest. Les Stroud is quite lucky he got out unscathed.
@@KalpeshPatel78 that's increasingly happening all over the world. In America in places like California for example more and more people are getting attacked by mountain lions and such because the suburban sprawl is encroaching on their territory.
Humans want to live close to nature but don't want the problems and predators that come with it. We just keep making their territory smaller and smaller until a confrontation is inevitable
@@RResidentAlienNN There are solutions to such problems, but the human species won't be able to follow it. Sadly, eventually these big cats (and other predators) will go extinct. Tigers are highly endangered. from millions of tigers at the start of the century to a few thousand left. Even if you have great conservation practices, where will they be housed. And man-animal conflict will continue where 99.9% of the time, the animal has to go.
I would have three masks one on the back of my head and one on each hand to make the Tigers think they encountered a four-faced Dragon man
put 2 more on the front of your hands and now you're a spawn from hell lmao
Reminds me of my neighbor.
Ill take a glock 10mm longslide
@@chateroakfirearmschannel2137 fuck that, how about a 12 gauge with slugs? This aint boar hunting
@@chateroakfirearmschannel2137 Good luck with that for the larger creatures. I'd want a little more than that. For the sloth bear and leopard; maybe a Kriss Vector in 10mm, longest barrel version, and full-auto. The 10mm is a great cartridge though, especially out of longer barrels. And def a .375H&H or .458 Lott for the elephants and bengal tiger.
There is a reason why Les is the best in the Biz. He could have easily never mentioned the guards who kept watch over him but he kept things real as he always does. The reality is that going into that forest with well-documented man-eating tigers alone would be a deadly decision, to say the least. I think this is one of his most impactful episodes because if a world-renowned survival expert needs armed guards to safely exist in a place your everyday adventure junky has no business anywhere near. Thank you Les for keeping it real and saving lives to this very day.

@@space-man313 Not really, you might be young but for us in our 30s and on we grew up watching him every single day. I'm sure you're just joking, but this is one guy who doesn't deserve it.
or another way of looking at it is the very presence of said guards renders the whole endeavour artificial and pointless.
@@jamescarr4662 Lol if you think dying to make a show is worth it, by all means please head over to the jungles of India by yourself with a camera and let us know how it goes. I'm sure you're very knowledgeable and qualified to deal with tigers!
@@sanaminatozaki2140 That's absurd. He isn't the one making the show. Les Stroud is. So if you're gonna make the show pointless, maybe don't make it. Or be prepared for people to call it. I still remember when he found a "washed up" working (!) lighter on the rocks of a beach at a deserted island. Brilliant.
Should do a commentary on this one Les- It’d be interesting
Massive respect, Indian Forest is soo dangerous, crazy that locals have survived there for so many thousands of years.
isnt that dangerous with a gun
I firmly believe here mentality plays role on their ultimate survival..tigers can't eat everyone lol
Them customer support dudes are built different
@@DDarkness last I checked, the ceos of those multinationals too albeit, you're correct there, we're built different.
@@Tzar-Athi how many CEOs out of 1.4 billion people? Not much
I cannot express into words how grateful I am that Les has put all these survivorman episodes up on his channel. I couldn't tell you how many hours I've spent watching over the last 3 weeks since I discovered this channel. I have to say that the director commentaries are by far my favorite, and can only hope that they keep on coming. Thank you Les!!!! You are the man.
Just by the DVDs like everyone else
@@goldmanjace Its 2021 who the hell is still using a dvd player, and if you are..good job your a rarity, meaning this is probably the best way, also nice stealth jab there even though Les has made it free for us all.
Whats a diva-D?
And to think Les couldn't even do this if he didn't have it written into his contract that he will retain the rights to all of his work, a thing most people didn't bother doing because they generally would pay you a bit more if you let the network or producer keep the content. And at the time most people also believed that they wouldn't ever use their shows, it was such a hassle and you needed a lot of resources to produce DVDs or air stuff on TV, most people were convinced it was a better idea to just get royalties every time the show aired or a DVD set was reissued. Les probably felt the integrity of his show was too important to let somebody else control when and where it was shown, and he (correctly, IMHO) predicted he could have way more freedom to make his work available to a wider audience in the future.
@@goldmanjace He probably gets more money from people taking the time to watch his RUclips content.
I wonder if the tigers view that mask like a burger king crown that they get with their meal
lol

I've never seen Les so nervous the entire time. India is in credibly dangerous! We miss new episodes my man!
Appreciate you very much, Les! Loved watching your show as a teenager and now in my 30s I still love watching these. You are the G.O.A.T. of survival
In these times I bet that coughing to scare stuff away trick works even better.
Lmao😂

It works like a charm on people

congrats man!
"The most comprehensive study of deaths due to tiger attacks estimates that at least 373,000 people died due to tiger attacks between 1800 and 2009 averaging about 1800 kills per year, the majority of these attacks occurring in South and Southeast Asia." Tiger threat is very real!
Wow....It would have been such spiritual and mesmerizing experience.....I am jealous, i am an Indian but I haven't had the opportunity to feel that feeling....
I have encountered amazing wildlife in north India back in 2010 and 2011
Watching this episode about big cats, reminded me of the time i was stalked by a big mountain lion. It’s crazy how stealthy and quiet big cats really are.
I had 2 of them in north Dakota follow me, next day in the river bottom one track was as big as my hand the other one I could stick my boot across, 12 x 12, I had no idea they had feet that big, freaked me out and I was walking around in the dark, I almost was lunch.
@@misterz2719 AT 14;22 A BIG CAT TURNS AND RUNS INTO THE FOREST
I was watching last night and thought about commenting “you need to upload the India episode!” You read my mind Les 😂 appreciate you!!
same. i bought the show this week cause I just had to see it. It was my first time seeing Les wigged out. Not being the apex predator on scene will do that too you, In the Georgia swamp episode, Les often had has back to the gator infested swamp, but here there was a man-eater tiger on the hunt and Les couldnt shake his nerves. 'How can i do with a 500 lbs bengal tiger looking for a meal only yards away...'
@@tysiscoe yeah even in Africa he wasn’t that spooked. The one that he was spooked was when the Jaguar was following him in the Amazon in the one episode
I think the guards are there to protect him and the precious rhinos. Very few but still there and this jungle is spread in 4 countries Nepal, India ,Bhutan and Bangladesh. Lots of illegal hunters and smugglers
Is there a part 2 ? I need a part 2 you can't leave me hanging like this with you chilling in a tree in the dark 😂
Bruh saaame
Same!
samee
Dammit! For some reason I was hoping all of you were wrong.... My ending was the same though
🤣🙏🏼👌🏼
I just watched 4 episodes of Survivorman and Son and could feel the drain on him staying aware for 2 people, couldn't get more stressful than that right?
When I started this episode I thought, cool new place, and then one sentence made me realize what was really happening, "surviving in the real Jungle Book" and as soon as I heard that I got African Savana vibes, real danger.
As the episode continues you really start to hear this tone set into his voice where you know he would rather be with his 16 year old son again than be up in that tree.
This episode had me on the edge.
Love this dude. Hes so good at teaching how to survive the wilds... But this episode was different. Very well done..
This is one of the episodes I REALLY want Les to do a commentary on.
Agreed!
Yes
I wonder Les still pack beef jerky for the trip
Does anyone know if there’s a part two? With the way it ended I was just wondering.
LES !!!! PLEASE DO A COMMENTARY
When I think of great Canadians, I think of you Les. You aren't overly confident or cocky even though you are a master at what you do. You respect nature, other cultures and peoples different views. I've been a long time fan and i'm always proud to say that I come from the same province as the Survivorman! Thanks for the great content as always.
Id throw in Wayne Gretzky as another great Canadian with your comment! Outstanding!!
Les played a big role in my life at one point for the very reasons you listed. He is tough, but not mean. He is rough and tumble but not aggressive. Very balanced person. It meant a lot at the time (early 20's) when I was trying to grow my confidence, that Les admitted his intense fear *while continuing into the situation causing him fear*. He doesn't complain either. Just moves on. I love that. Great man he is.
It's free to is but youtube Pays him lol
Aim low and you’ll never be disappointed.
Terrance and Philip are also two outstanding Canadians! 🤣
the places filled with dangerous animals are infinitely more stressful than most of the strictly survival episodes in harsher environments
Fck yea, you become part of the food chain
Idk I think I would rather try to survive in India, then trying in some artic climate
@@Holy_rhin0 bruh. Its easy to survive in those places lol
@@Holy_rhin0 Les could survive there easily for a week, the fact it is only a week is why animals are the most dangerous factor. If it was more than a week then those places would mean eventual death but Les can find enough water to stave off death for a week anywhere and doesn't even need to eat
Depends. If I was really stuck I'd rather be there than the artic circle
Just want to let people know that there have been so many people who have set out to dangerous places, in order to make videos on how to survive them for us. They were not popular online and you'll never hear about them because they perished quickly into the adventure. We become intelligent through trial and error. These people are the people who in history would eat the strange plant to know its effects for us. There are very few of them that are born this day and age. RIP to all these people man, thanks for helping us evolve.
“Not looking like prey” immediately runs off like an impala about to get murked by Shere Khan lmao
I'm proud to be an Indian who has been to the same place Les has........and hearing him talking about India is awesome...........
.
.
.
But seeing Les so scared is scary for me
Were the warning hyped up? Or do tigers really kill that many ppl. Do locals ever kill the tigers?
@@RResidentAlienNN thanks for the info man ill look up that joe rogan episode
@@twoshacos1box301 Not all tigers are maneaters. The ones that are maneaters are stuff of legend. For example the Champawat tigress killed 436 people and she belonged to this region where the shooting of this episode took place. But other than tigers there are infamous leopards from this region with kills ranging from 100s to 400. Yeah unfortunately locals sometimes kill them out of retaliation but that is very rare. They are sacred as well as protected animals.
Each times the theme song begins, i hear
"tickle,tickle,tickle"😁
Same here
My daughter would watch this with me when she was little. I do that to her. Pretty funny.
now i will too thankyou for implanting that in my mind
I do too and I find it quite irritating, lol!
Agreed 💯!!😂
$davesandersstepdaughter
The part that people tend to forget: Tigers are big cats, they can climb trees - with ease. So can leopards.
Edit: Needed to be said - you're also the most thoughtful survivalist teaching bushcraft that I've watched so far. Defo got yourself a new lifelong fan from India. Keep up the great work, Les.
Yes tigers can climb a bit but leopard's are the only big cat that can climb DOWN a tree.
@@jimfontaine9788 okay, but they can all shuffle down like a bear. You don’t sound any smarter adding something stupid like that as if it matters how they get down. His comment pertains that they can get up.
Better to be up a tree with a parang to stop the tiger following you, than on the ground where it can just rush you.
When he says "Out" his Canadian really comes out!
I read this comment in Canadian 😂
Yeah. Oat
Wada ya talkin a boot sounds fine to me eh
Ow-0oT
Oh my GOD, THESE ARE ACTUAL EPISODES! I MISS THIS STUFF!
the shoulder tatoo stars les has are the coolest tattoos any man has... "what are those tattoos?" "oh these? from an isolated tribe who have hardly had any interaction with modern people or white people, i got the confidence and respect of the medicine men there by going through their rites and they gave me these tattoos to identify that."
les should be doing dos equis commercials
Wow, it feels like it's my birthday waking up to a new Survivorman upload. Thanks Les, much love from Michigan
But this video is from 2015
@@JustinCasey216 yea I know but i quit paying for cable or any other TV service so it is fun to rewatch these episodes. I look forward to all of his RUclips uploads especially the directors commentary.
That's kinda sad 😥
Hey there, fellow Michigander!
especially in michigaaaaan
“In other words not looking like prey”
Seconds later- “holy fuck!” *frantic running*
Not gonna lie I was a little bummed out to find it was just a hornets nest. They're no joke but was expecting something bigger, guess he probably be running like that though.
Yo Les! We know who the OG survivalist is! Thanks for the sacrifices I didn't appreciate when I was younger, but do now.
the intro speech is pretty much the same speech my brother gave me walking in rough urban areas.
"walk like you're on a mission and don't stop to talk to anyone, no matter what."
Same advice for largely the same situation. Checks out.
Hey les, not sure if you'll ever see this but I just want to tell you how much I love what you do, I remember watching season 1 with my mom when I was in elementary school, it sparked a passion inside me for the outdoors and nature that wont ever die and now I get to relive the experience with my daughter. you're a legend man, thankyou for making all of this available for everybody on RUclips
That mini savannah les walked into was a killing field for tigers for sure. The energy there literally screamed of animal death.
Was I the only one that just could see a tiger running down its prey there?
Les I remember watching your shows in middle school. Didn’t realize it at the time, but it was the one of the best escapes from some of the worst times I’ve been through. Thanks for being you and uploading them here🙏🏻
Yep I used to watch this series at some of my lowest points as well
Same here man
I can remember the day when my buddy first told me about him when I was grade 8, I'm 34 now, stoked to see him making fresh content.
Same
How could high school be so bad tho
They use a cough to ward off predators? I feel like there’s a correlation between that and the 80 people a year that are eaten by tigers in India 😂
I felt tense this entire episode. I was legitimately worried and for the first time it felt like you were in real danger the entire time.
We know there is a part 2. When I saw this for the first time years ago it left me hanging like a man up a tree hiding from tigers all night long
It's so unusual to see Les shooken up, but rightfully so, Tigers are absolutely terrifying. No other large cat comes close to the sheer power and stealth of a Tiger. The standard African lion wouldn't even be a challenge to a Siberian or Bengal tiger, if the Tiger got fatally injured in the fight it would be due to sheer chance. Thanks for the content, knowing you're still going strong is great!
The worst ones in these jungles are the sloth bears and a pack of wild dogs. Even tigers steer clear of them. There is documentation of Tigers being hunted and eaten by a sloth bear. A pack of wild dogs on a hunt too can injure and kill a tiger. Their numbers usually range between 10 to 50.. even 100s earlier this century.
The lion has a big advantage though: its mane. Cats mostly kill by going for the neck, and the tiger would have a really hard time getting through that thick mane of a male lion. At the same time, the tiger's neck is fully exposed with little protection. I think the fight would be much closer than you believe.
@@KalpeshPatel78 Hi. Could you do read wiki on sloth bear. Its just one of tiger prey. not the other way around. Just look at size and its also a bear not same as tenacity of a big cat that have more muscle per pound.
@@newoneserchin4010 the bear dogs..... hell pigs and the terror birds of the prehistoric times were the true killer animals.... the hell pig was alive in an eat or be eaten world in America and was the top dog for literally just under 20million years.... they ate the crescent horned baby rhino 🦏..... they were beaten to there food by the introduction of the bear dogs who came over a newly formed ice bridge in the ice age.... the bear dogs worked as a team to kill prey much bigger and stronger than them.... while the terror bird used its massive beak to snap the back of the long extinct hangman horse..... these animals were more of a predator than any tiger.... the hell pig alone was a lot bigger than a fully grown man.... we should be glad that these animals aren’t around today
@@killerboy4441 Not really although the lion has a mane. Lion don't stand a chance against both siberian tiger and Bengal tiger. Thats the reason why lions hunt in packs and not solo while tiger hunt solo. Especially the siberian tiger that beast is terrifying
How to die:
Play a drinking game during this episode where you Take a shot of liquor every time Les mentions elephants or tigers.
Just Drink!! No Games !!lol
Done...
Mr. Stroud has done a really nice job in these episodes. This show brought me closer to my young son back when the show started and my wife suddenly decided to end our marriage. So my son, having to deal with divorcing parents at just 6 years old had a really hard time, but the show's content is so interesting with such beautiful scenery my son who had to deal with ADD besides his parents separating, was totally captivated. 15 years later, now at age 21, he still brings up how this show helped occupy his thoughts and his emotional pain. I told him about the directors cut and he's all over those now. All thanks to this great man, Mr. Stroud.
It's such a shame that your son at that age had to go through those tough times. Sadly so many couples end marriages sometimes for the wrong reasons and the kids if any, have to suffer. You say she suddenly ended it which tells me she had other plans instead of trying to work things out. It happens so frequently nowadays. Back then people stayed together through the bad and tough times and somehow eventually worked it out. This world has changed so drastically and people don't seem to want to put any effort into something that's supposed to be a binding contract with God. I'm glad you and your son found something in common and this helped him through the tough times, as well as yourself.
@Poppy333 Thank you for the kind word and empathy for a total stranger. My son had a hard time, as can be expected, as did I, and the fact is that marriage means nothing to some people. It's disposable, as everything else in this society is becoming. I did express how much Survivorman meant during that difficult period; it's such a great show to watch with an inquisitive child. TV shows having substance and good content are becoming rare...again thanks for your comment...I realize that I'm not the only person to go through this horrible experience. I guess that we can only change what's within our control. I just feel for the children going through it - they are the victims - and that's what truly sucks. Best, HK
ADD isn't real. School is just boring.
They make it up to sell drugs and pathologize normal behavior from children
Les just seems like a cool and down to earth dude
"Can't get any water out of it for drinking, but you can sure use it for fire tinder." Best Les Stroud quote
A very subtle "screw you" to another nameless survival guy. I think Les also said "who's this character" as he cut his head off.
Watching from Philippines
Hahaaha I read the comment an didn't get it but nowwww I see 😂😂😂
Lol throwing shade at bear grills 🤣
he throwing shade at bear for being a pseudo survivalist but then carries a life straw, pot, lighter, fire gel, knife, paracord, uses a built home and had ARMED GUARDS following him the whole time lol this wasn't really a "survival" episode at all just a guy walking around in the woods
Alternatively you could have gone to Mumbai and try to survive there for 7 days as a tourist. That would have probably been even harder...
Kolkata is worse
@@ChristopherTradeshow That would not be fitting for "Survivorman" because you can't survive that.
He'd stand a better chance there than if he was a woman. 😬
@Truth Seeker...I could watch those or I could look at about a hundred more websites, international news channels, print newspapers, probably even smoke signals, to back up my statement...Your opinion doesn't change facts. 👍🏻
@Truth Seeker no truth seeker would put down other people like that. The wise man knows he is a fool. And you can learn something from even the most foolish of people. You’re attacking Josh cuz you don’t like/don’t respect/don’t understand his culture, and that’s shallow. Blessings from the High power to you, you have spoke some truth. However, disguising your teachings with a wicked tongue will turn others away. The universe knows your heart, run all you want brother. We are all in the same boat. We were all born into a land without choice. Don’t scrutinize someone for the happenstance of life. Who are you to be the goalkeeper of what’s right or what’s wrong? You talk a lot just like the rest of these RUclips commenters. Blessings, truly. I wish people would not try to divide one another but embrace each other for their differences because that’s what makes us, us.
I think I know exactly what kind of “herb” Les was carrying.
that good shit
Shiva knows how to have a good time.
That five finger fern.
He wouldnt smoke weed on a survival trip. Its would deplete his water intake and les is a purist lol
It’s probably tulsi; Indian basil.
Bro if you ever see this I believe your show is my favorite show to watch and I just realized it while watching this episode thank you and keep going. Also thanks for using the armed guys with this one sheesh bro it’s a tiger your show will not lose any credibility tiger tracks man you were cooler in that situation than I could imagine.
I salute this man for being honest to his show, not like the others!
BTW Indian jungle is not the most terrifying place to be coz I red it on the comment section, it's the Australian jungle you should be fear most
its cool that Les is transparent about some of the "advantages" he gets. even if its just having locals keeping an eye on him at a distance in the tiger zone.
Its not locals its armed force from forest department. In India it is a thing
Les be like "We got two sticks and a rock here's how to survive Norway"
@@sayyidsahal4533 those are called forrest rangers and its a thing like everywhere in the world
@@friendlyatheist9589 in india there are several types of armed forces dedicated to forest department only. Some protects us from predators when we go hiking like this, some are for smugglers, some are for mavoists, some are for protection biodiversity such as rehabilitation of wild cat which step out from forest.
@@sayyidsahal4533 poo in the loo
from 27:50 and on he's not wearing the mask and it's literally getting dark. Man you know how to make a guy tense lol
Most terrible and thrilling thing about tiger is you can not see him but he keep an sharp eye always on you tiger is mysterious
You’ll see him when he’s pouncing on your head... but it’ll be too late
I worked with a guy that own 6 tigers. Helped build pins for them back when I was a teen. 2 white tigers(boys) 2 orange females and 2 boys. It is incredible the size of them up close. You cannot hear them when they want to be silent. They could easily sneak up from 20 feet away on gravel in less than 2 seconds without making a sound. I'd take a wolf pack any day against a lone hungry pissed off tiger
That is why when in India the 'Great White Hunters' hunted tigers from the back of an elephant.
@@jarniwoop wow tears are rolling from my eyes to see such a great comment wowwwwww gold medal 🏅 for their brave act
Do Indians fear tigers?
2 reasons why the tiger is much more dangerous:
Tigers are extremely stealthy, it's very hard to spot them without the help of a guide.
Tigers hunt and live alone and are extremely territorial.
He is the real deal.
Prbly the most interesting opening hook of a survivorman episode yet
That tower with no entrance door attached would freak me out in that environment.
It had large enough windows that can easily be broken. Either by its occupants or a large cat.
I feel like India is the type of place that Les could go into with everything he would ever want to survive and then some and still be on edge the entire time
Damn, I had no idea you had a youtube channel. The last time I saw one of ur videos was on NatGeo YEARS ago, this is awesome.
LES, WE NEED A DIRECTOR'S COMMENTARY FOR THIS EPISODE!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU GOOD SIR!! 😝
"not looking like pre-"
"HOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK"
*Runs like 30 meters*
Yesss thank you!🤣

This one is different because there's way more of a threat of animals, usually the other episodes are kind of seperated from predators
The Amazon episode was a treat, walk from camp to go pee in the middle of the night and mid-stream notice a jaguar staring at you all casual and just ... watching. Doesn't flinch with a shout and some choice words. So Les NOPE'd out of that jungle real quick, with the curious cat just moments behind him. It even paced the safety camp fence line afterwards. xD
@@willthedingo I remember watching that episode way back. Being alone in the jungle at night and seeing a big ass cat just stalking u is nightmare inducing man
You don't know how they film this they're watching their shadows so if you see more than one channel you know there's more than one person he's good
@@joannulloa950 what?
@@joannulloa950 He's all alone. He is the only person filming. He sets up the camera, does whatever he needs to do, and then goes back for the camera. He has mentioned several times how annoying it is to walk away from the camera and then have to go back for it.
Never seen Les so on edge and I can’t blame him. Tigers are so stealthy and deadly.
40 to 80 people killed a year by then, depending on the source.
I agree. I feel nervous for him!
It's understandable, tigers are the perfect land predator
@@jarniwoop ive read 1000 people/year in india are killed by leopards. tigers are almost extinct, otherwise tiger deaths would def be way higher
sounds like the authorities are using him as bait to catch that maneating female tiger
Either Les is an excellent actor and deserves an academy award or he is scared shitless in this episode.
He was paralyzed with fear the entire episode and rightly so. One place I can think of which is even more dangerous than this would Sundarband forest. Tigers there are completely fearless and unusually aggressive. Going there is truly a suicide mission.
Thank you for posting these for us. Getting on US netflix or prime would be wonderful. At this time we can only buy dvd or buy on youtube in the US it seems that it is on prime but not available for us here.
You got balls Les. This was a scary episode.
Scary....really?
@@--..--.-. Yes.. Really. Imagine being around man eating tigers like that.
he could have cryptorchidism, you never know. lol
He was followed by armed men 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@bobbybrown8846 True, but you can't see the armed men and you can't see the tiger, if the tiger is already at you, it only going to take 10s to kill you, before the armed men get to you, or even know you are attacked... Pretty scary
Watching this episode has me on edge more than all the other Survivorman episodes combined. It's literally like a horror movie. I just keep thinking, GET OUT OF THERE. Lol
“Walking with confidence, not looking like prey”
*5 seconds later*
🏃💨
What an amazing intro. I didn't watch the episode yet but I'm very intrigued as to what happen because Les never curses on the show
Them big cats had you walking on egg shells this whole video. Understandable but wild to see you in constant fear . Your mind won on this one , for sure . Good show .
Even for a “survival” he got a gift for the temple. That’s is something that what i can really appreciate/respect. Big Love from The Netherlands, Amsterdam-West.
Yeah, it's really cool of Les to respect local traditons even if they aren't his traditions. I'm glad he put that in the episode.
Nederland de gekste
@@clydesecret8118 je weet zelf.
At 27 minutes into this video you mention you were accompanied by armed guards. Where and how did they sleep? Did the original video include any shots of these men?
Literally would not comfort me one bit like what they gonna do shoot em while he's getting mauld...now he got buck shot in the ass a a tiger on his face 😂
Les Stroud: "...can't get any water out of it for drinking..."
Me: "oh snap."
I hope it was a Bear Grylls reference
@@danielmcmillan739 he does talk shit on bear in a lot of his episodes. I heard and i don't know for sure if this is true or not. but i heard that they wanted Les to start faking scenarios and he refused. They then got bear to do it. like claiming to drink his own piss and stuff when he was actually staying in a hotel with his camera crew and such.
@@danielmcmillan739 yeah man i searched for this comment thank you for noticing hahahas team les
"... and not look like prey" *starts to make a mad dash*
Les..PLEASE do a commentary on this one!!! We were on edge all the time fearing every sound, you are incredibly brave, and so many have learnt from you, admire and respect you beyomd measure...
Never seen Les so skittish! Still got balls of steel though, hats off.
Braver than me!!!
I've been in Tiger country before but always had a weapon. Les has balls of steel to do this, even if he did have rangers keeping an eye on him.
YES! You’re absolutely right. I’ve never seen him this nervous & alert.
Same though I had, this episode in particular took a huge set of balls. Tiger territory would be no joke.
Les! Did you survive??? 😆 we NEED part 2! Thank you man! This is an amazing channel
I'm late but he never ends while in a tree. I agree, part 2 please. 😊
Can’t wait for the directors commentary on this one.
I remember him talk about this on JRE. Specifically the part about being in the tree at night. Absolute legend of a man to be able to do that in tiger country.
YEAAAA MY DAY JUST GOT BETTER
Truh
PLEASE: director’s commentary for this one!!! I remember wondering, “what the hell happened at the end? And the middle? And what’s with the armed guards?!”
Please, Les, this one would be spectacular to hear the BTS stories!
Those armed guards are basically forest guards to keep out poachers. No one is allowed except maybe local villagers and sadhus to venture into national parks in India without one. He got permission to enter on foot but the forest department definitely wouldn't want a foreigner ending up dead bcoz of a tiger. Bad publicity. So they follow him around without getting close.
This reminds me of when I got split up from my school party at Woburn Abbey. There was no way I could have stumbled into the lions' enclosure, but walking down an avenue of trees, all alone and hearing one growling deeply in the distance made the hair on my neck stand on end. I was relieved to turn out of that avenue of trees and into the picnic area and to see my school friends munching on sandwiches and drinking lemonade. ;))
37:08 "Poisonous non the less". Its "Venomous". Sorry Les, I get triggered with that one. But you have balls man! Tigers, cobras, elephants, leopards! I woulda wanted those guards near me at all times!
Do love Les, closest thing USA has to Ray Mears.
I'm assuming Les made it back safely. He was hiding in a tree at the end. Hopefully there wasn't any encounter with a tiger. That was a very unusual ending. He usually goes on up until it's time for him to leave. Maybe he was smart enough to get the heck out of that tree and leave with the safety of the two guys with the rifles to safety. Last I heard tigers can climb trees easily.
He had an encounter with the tiger m the arm guards came. That's why they stopped filming
I lived in India as young boy in foothills of Himalayas all the memories come back it is a magical land probably the nicest place to survive it is spiritual oriented that is the key in India
That's so neat you have those cherished memories of your gorgeous homeland. If I had the chance, I would love to see it...especially the foothills of the Himalayas!
@@shanaguilar8352 I was born in Punjab but lived with my Grandma who was teacher ( sewing ) in Himachal Pardesh and many times was stationed to remote villiages I went to elementary school there you are right it is beautiful my memories from there still with me I did go back and travel there and just wished to live there it is so nice ( I think you have some special 'destiny' if you are there )
@@rajibjoshi8868 Rajib, thank you for your reply.🙃
I get the clear feeling that your homeland is truly a special, even wonder-filled..
If I ever get the chance, I'm going there!💚
You've always been my favorite survival expert and the real Survivorman. Thank you for all the knowledge that you share with the world and go on with the good work. You've always been a hero of my since my childhood! Thank you Mr Stroud
This is for some reason my favorite video, 4th time watching it.
I’m so pleased to have found your channel! I’ve been enjoying your show for years! And now this channel for months!
Rock on fellow Canadian! ❤️
I've been a fan of yours since 2007 and this is the first episode I ever saw that made me physically anxious for you. Jesus Les, you are my hero. Cast iron balls.
