For outdoors lovers (or should I say freaks?)

It can not be more real than the reality show: Survivorman. The guy is thrown in a desolated corner of the planet, alone, without fresh water, without food, without camera crew, and plays survival for seven days. In the tropical jungle of Costa Rica or in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Les Stroud is there with a couple of video cameras to tape himself his long-suffering days .

He makes a shelter with what finds, he produces fire with sticks and he eats, if he eats, plants and bugs that only someone with enough knowledge about the flora and the fauna of our planet would consume. There are episodes when he finds nothing to eat and endures days without food. As he did in the Arctic surrounded by nothing but snow.

What is even more entertaining than the situation itself is that Les Stroud is not the most comfortable guy on the spotlight. He is often awkward and an expert on not-so-funny jokes, but gosh, the guy is in the desert, alone, without water, without food, without anything and having to film everything. By the way he is always complaining about having to be recording his survival. "If it was only surviving it would be fine, the filming part that sucks", he would say.

I am not a big reality show aficionado, but I worship nature, thus I became a fan of the Canadian Les Stroud.
