I found a forum discussion about Les Stroud's survival series.

Survivorman
This starts off with someone that thinks it's a scam, which Les resonds to.


A search reveals a few more threads about the series.

I know he posted here a few times about this series. It was supposed to be shown on the Discovery Science channel in the US, but I never saw it listed.
