Blind-sided by poor survival skills, Joe struggles to keep up as he and Les trek through thick forest terrain burdened by heavy camera gear, but with no food, no water and no shelter. Joe quickly learns that real life survival isn’t as easy as Les makes it look on TV.

Patagonia
When Les Stroud first launched Survivorman, adventure travel was not as prolific as it is today. Here and around the world, in places meant to inspire us to love nature, to get out and travel, tragedies occur. Tragedies occur because of casual attitudes taken towards wilderness adventure. The point of Survivorman has always been to teach the right way, the safe way, to instruct outdoor enthusiasts on when not take chances and not go over the top, to avoid landing oneself in peril. In this episode, Les travels to one of the most beautiful places on the planet – Patagonia, Chile – to make mistakes so that you don’t have to.

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.

Georgian Swamp
The swamplands of Georgia’s Altamaha River Basin are all that one would expect of a primordial bog; dank, menacing, swimming with slithering creepy crawlies and of course, alligator infested. This is the welcoming environment Les will be immersed in for seven sweaty days and bone chilling nights.

Costa Rica
A Costa Rican getaway – as far removed from everyday living as you can imagine; lush rainforests and deserted tropical beaches. Marooned on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, Les “Survivorman” Stroud has only a few items to aid him for the next 7 days: swimming goggles, 3 ballpoint pens, a multi-tool and the clothing on his back. On top of keeping hydrated in the intense humidity and relentless heat, Les must cope with deadly snakes, enormous spiders, land crabs and scorpions.
