    More Director's Commentary versions, please! Most of us hard core fans have already seen these a million times. Reminiscing years later with additional factoids is a fantastic spin. I can even get the 'old lady' to watch again!

    RIP to my brother! My McGyver! This episode reminds me SO much of him. He could make/ fix ANYTHING with anything, and the most anything ever cost us was $20! From fixing the AC to the pool to my old car...give him a wire, duct tape, a bobby pin and a balloon! Stereo in the car quit? $20, and an hour, no problem. (allthough, in that case, for some reason, my gas gauge quit? IDK? but I will always remember how NOTHING could stop you. What a great skill he had, and with no schooling, just having a no quit personality. We love you and miss you! There will never be another XOXOXO. Thank you Les for talking about the importance of these kinda skills.
    Lastly, in my Brothers memory, ALWAYS wear a helmet when riding a motercycle. You could be the greatest rider ever but accidents happen so do it for your family if not for your self. The one thing he couldn't fix was his brain injury, no one could....
    If you get anything from my long comment, listen to Les, uses your creativity to solve problems and never take unnessissary risks so in the end, you can go home

      I do believe he said once that he never reads the comments but I am not sure. I have been watching him from the very beginning as well. I am no survival instructor but I feel I can handle myself much better in the bush with things I learned from his show. I also loved the british sas survival handbook. but just like Les, I tried lots of stuff from it that I found simply didn't work, at least with the instructions provided I am sure there is always a trick and a learning curve. As a fellow Canadian I would love to buy him a beer and have a quick chat someday :)

    Hi Les. Awesome video. When the Mexico part came with the blisters on your feet, got me thinking, have you ever thought of wearing foot wraps instead of socks? I’m planning on making a bunch of foot wraps and trying them out instead of confined constricting socks. Plus after you wash one pair, hang them outside your pack to dry. They might dry faster than socks too. Thanks for sharing.

  • @GroceryStoreStories101

    I'm not a Survival Expert by any means. But from growing up and watching Les and Survivorman, I feel like I could survive in the wilderness if I had too. I have two survival backpacks I completely made from scratch with some basics. multiple ways to make fire, metal containers to boil water in, Survival knives, one of my kits has a survival blanket I can use as a roof for a shelter. And I have plenty of Paracord. And wear a Paracord bracelet. I also wear a analog watch everyday. And I've taught myself the compass method. I carry a lighter every single day and I don't smoke. I also carry a Ferro rod in the winter. I live in Minnesota so if I get super cold and need a fire now and my lighter fails. We all know that Ferro rods can work even when wet.
