Hi Les, I also enjoy your program. One thing I have seen that I liked was that you can almost always find something others left behind that will help you survive.
One question for you though, sometimes I see you boil your water and sometimes I see you drinking some nasty water that you don't mention pre-treating. Have you gotten any bad illnesses from the bad water?
Thanks for trying to make the show as real as you can. I knew that you had to move the cameras but I hadn't really thought about all the cleaning, battery changing, tape changing, and other problems electronics would have in the wild. You do an increadible job.

Another 2 fans here.
My wife and I watch your show whenever we can. If nothing else, we have learned that a sense of humor is one of the most valuable 'survival skills' we can have.

Les, thank you. My wife is not the outdoorsy type and she also enjoyed the shows. The Discovery Channel repeated the shows several times and when she goes to bed I watch them again. Actually I have seen all of them at least a couple of times. Like somebody else commented I would love to see a little more teaching about what you have brought for the different situations if you could have the choice. And what do you think be the best tools are.

Les -
I'm going to watch the show for the first time tonight. I had to upgrade my cable service to get the Science Channel. It seems worth it.
Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to the next season.

Les; Just wanted to ditto the comments of the others. My son and I watch your show whenever we can and we do enjoy it alot. As I have said in other posts I do appreciate the fact that you are really trying to teach something not just go for the thrill factor. Keep up the good work and good luck with your next season <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey, I'm about as hardcore as a person can get and still maintain a 40hour/week job in the city and I love the show! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I realize that as a hardcore wilderness survival enthusiast, I am not in the show's primary target demographic. I accept that and enjoy the show for what it is. Keep up the good work Les! I have been watching a 30 min version on Discovery Channel and I heard a rumor that there is a fulll hour on the Discovery Science channel. If that's true then I am going to have to get on the phone with Dish Network add that channel to my satellite lineup. I'm rarely home when it's on so I Tivo it and then save the episodes so I can watch them more than once. I think it's one of the best things on TV right now. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
