The Boreal Forest of Northern Canada is a vast tract of wilderness stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific. It is home to moose and beaver, crisscrossed by rivers and lakes and frost-free for only about three months of the year. Stroud intentionally tips his canoe in mid-stream and crawls from the icy waters onto shore.

About Les Stroud's Survivorman:

LES STROUD'S SURVIVORMAN is an innovative survival series starring Canadian survival expert Les Stroud, who puts himself to the ultimate test by surviving alone in some of the world's most extreme wilderness environments.

Stranded without a crew and equipped with only minimal gear, Les documents every moment of his experience using a unique, self-operated camera system, making the series one of the most authentic survival programs ever produced.

Each challenge lasts up to a week, pushing both his physical endurance and mental resilience to the edge.

In each environment, Stroud demonstrates practical, real-world survival skills such as building shelter, finding and purifying water, making fire and sourcing food through foraging and hunting.

The show does not shy away from failure: viewers see what works, what doesn't, and the consequences of every decision.
