Third season of Survivorman
Friday Nov 7th 9pm ET/PT Discovery Channel in the US.

In the third season of SURVIVORMAN Stroud travels the world and sets up real-world scenarios in which he must survive. This year Stroud finds himself in: the frigid Arctic tundra where he finds a resourceful way to start a fire; Temagami in Canada where SAR (Search and Rescue) is deployed to find Stroud; the unforgiving Australian Outback where temperatures can fluctuate drastically and water is sparse; Papua New Guinea, one of the world’s least explored countries, where undiscovered plant and animal species are thought to exist; rugged Sierra Nevada as a lost hiker; and Colorado where he has to find food and water for himself and his horses.

I wonder if he will have the brains to carry "a few basic tools" this time?

Thanks for pointing this out! I've had my Dish DVR setup with a "Dish Pass" to find all new episodes of this show. I checked the guide, and sure enough, there it was on Nov 7th, but NOT SET TO RECORD!

I reset my timers and it is now scheduled to record.

Thanks for telling us about this. I would have missed it due to whatever bug there is in Dish Network's software that didn't find it in the guide to automatically record.

I'm really looking forward to the Colorado episode. Since that's where I live. It will give the show a "local flavor" for me!

As opposed to England's favorite, poo water drinking son?

Yes. I have got a bet on as to how long it is before El Survivorman gets himself Darwined.


Oh and re Bear. I am given to understand that it tasted better than the local beer.

While I admit to watching both, I really don't like the "SET UP" feel of the brit's show.

You mean other than the sat phone he normally carries?

What makes the show interesting is the senerios he sets up where someone mind find themselves without a lot of survival tools and has to use whatever's at hand. If he went into it with a full survival pack then it'd be kind of boring just watching him go out camping for the week.

Maybe ETS could send him a PSP.

*laughs* For some reason, I think Les is aware of that option.

For people who want him to always have X, Y or Z, remember that stupidity, carelessness or bad luck can take them all away from you.

I'm excited for the new season of Survivorman, and was glad to hear that it is starting soon.
