Alaska
Alaska is known as the “Land of the Midnight Sun.” As Stroud enters an ocean bay called “Taroka Arm” by sea kayak, there’s only about four hours of twilight per day and he knows that Mother Nature is going to wreak havoc upon his internal clock. At this time of year, the salmon in this bay are active and so are the black bears and grizzlies, which Les will have to steer clear of if he’s going to make it through this week alive. This coastline has the second highest tides in the world and finding high, dry land is first priority. Les builds a shelter made from rubbish combed from the beach and then attempts to fight off hypothermia and the ever present mosquitos by making a fire. He then uses the primitive method of flint knapping to make a hook to attempt to catch salmon but, as the fish jump around the kayak without a single bite, Les is reminded once again that hunger doesn’t make fishing any easier.

Labrador
Although snowmobiles are the main mode of travel in Labrador, dog sledding is the way Les will get around the freezing north. Even though he brought along a survival kit, including fishing supplies, duct tape, rope, his multi tool and a .22 rifle, he is still without the crucial essentials needed to survive Labrador in the winter. Unable to catch a break, Les hits a low point as he is forced to steal food from the dogs. When he finds himself completely stranded due to a rapid thaw and unable to continue on his journey, his only hope is to turn to the skies.

Cook Islands, South Pacific
The Cook Islands are situated about as far away from everywhere as you can possibly get; the middle of the South Pacific Ocean. Being one of the most deceptive places on the planet, this tropical paradise hides some horribly unperceivable dangers including the world’s most venomous fish, the stone fish. Les, equipped with only his scuba gear, is abandoned by his crew at sea to recreate a frightfully common occurrence; separated from your boat and left alone in the ocean waters. Utilizing a shipwreck on the beach of a small tropical island to live amongst the rats for 7 days, he uses his knowledge as a survival expert to make it through the week, alone. With a constant bombardment of tropical storms, Les must gather food, collect rain water and make his own tools, while surviving in the Cook Islands.
