Survivorman | Beyond Survival | Season 1 | Episode 3 | The San Bushman of the Kalahari | Les Stroud

The thing about Les is that he never ever once comes off fake and ignorant. He never cracks any unnecessary jokes. He's serious yet always so humble, never ever rude or whiney, and mostly importantly a genuine nice human being.

Watched survivorman religiously when I was a kid. So awesome to see more from the man himself

The Tom Petty of survival. Because hes not a sellout ..

One of the few YouTube channels that are good for the mind

2nd - Les Stroud, you sir, are a legend, and an inspiration.

As a healthcare assistant that regularly works 12-16 hours a day, I can confirm that around the 10 hour mark of constantly moving around on your feet, you will indeed start tripping balls 😅 at least I get a lunch break and free coffee though, unlike poor Les! Thank you good sir for the awesome content, stay safe!

Thank-you for documenting these ancient rituals and culture. In a manner that is both of honor and intrigue. I appreciate you communicating amongst these people with dignity as well. Demonstrating thier knowledge and skills have value, even to a foreigner. This series has been the most interesting yet! You're the man, Les!

This guy is better than Bear Grylls but yet he is underrated. Edit: Thanks to everyone for proving me wrong cuz knowing he isn't underrated is nice to know since I like him alot :)

Thankyou for turning my morning from blegh to excited

been a fan from day one. Wife and I Got stuck on Panorama Trail first time in Yosemite, it was getting dark and i found myself in bush panic but clamed down assessed the situation and one thing after another came to me from yrs of watching the show. It was calming, provided focus, and then became fun. What started as panic ended in successful accomplishment. Thanks Les

This is depressing, at least you've documented it Les, maybe one day their descendants will rekindle their interest in their own history and be able to refer to things like this. I will say this series is one of my favorites from all you've done, thanks.

“The man who has confidence in himself gains the confidence of others.” – Hasidic Proverb. Thank you Les for taking us to the places we might never visit and teaching us the ways of our ancestors.

Less has a great sense of showmanship but I get a deep genuine energy from him! After watching his videos, sometimes back to back, I always feel like I’ve grown in some way.

Have you heard of Malcolm Dougless les? In the late 60's he traveled across the desert wilderness with elders from the aboriginal culture. They taught him things he could only dream of. At the time, they were the last people who knew these old traditions. Since then, most of those older fellows have unfortunately passed away...leaving their knowledge to all but a few. Nowadays, it's lost and not many aboriginals live like this in Australia anymore. But those documentaries are still available, to tell the story of the ancient ways of culture and survival. You guys are doing a real service by bringing that sacred knowledge to the masses. And who knows - we may all need to use them again before our time on this earth is through. Thanks for the episodes mate :)

Wow. The mere sight, sound , and thought of the ceremony gave me "the chills". Im not religious though. The only other things that have given me that feeling are good music and extreme happiness for someone. Its also amazing that man knowingly stabbed himself with one of those arrows because he was angry at himself for treating someone badly. It really speaks to who they are.

Mr. Stroud has changed my life! I love you man!!!

your algorithm must love me, i fall asleep watching every night and come back to watch them again... according to my playlist i have seen this whole season but im actually watching this episode for the first time awake 😂 enjoy the adrev les old bean! get yourself a nice shiny new multi tool! 👍🏻

I have so much respect for you doing this series, it's allowing old secrets and knowledge learned from thousands of years of human experimentation to survive even if the cultures that discovered it perish, it is honoring these people and allowing them to possibly help the world in the future.

Beyond survival is such a great show! Thanks for uploading this to your channel, never seen these until now.

I follow native spirituality like my ancestors, and I felt the power of that ceremony through the screen, I can only imagine what it would have been like to experience first hand, I'm hoping to make it down to the pow wow in Cherokee NC this year, I was pretty young last time I went and I wasn't into native spirituality at the time, I think it would be a much different experience this time
