Was watching Discovery Channel last night and saw Les in a cameo appearance in a show "The True Tale of Robinson Crusoe" or something along those lines.
Apparently the book was based on the true life experience of a mariner left on a island 14 x 7 miles. A number of researchers then explored how the real fella lived the Robinson Crusoe adventure without a man Friday.
Les appeared as a Wilderness Survival Expert and demonstrated how to start a fire using a flintlock. He also made comments about making edged tools from barrel stayes left behind on the island. Heat the metal in fire, bang on the heated metal with hatchet and a rock.
Les even got a fire started. Finally someone who actually does instead of just telling.
