A little late on this one but better late than never! See http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/video.php?id=188, interview recap below:

Okay, imagine being alone in the wilderness. You know, where the big animals with teeth and claws live. You’ve got no water, no food, no shelter - nothing. Terrifying, right? Now, imagine that’s your job. Well, say hello to Les Stroud.

For the past several years, Les has been living out most people’s worst nightmare. All for our viewing enjoyment, on his hit show ‘Survivorman.’ Here’s the idea. Each episode, Les is alone in the wild for a week, with just his brains and stamina. And he films everything himself - lugging around camera gear, the entire time. But forget getting lost in Muskoka. Try Alaska, a swamp in Georgia, the Amazon, or the Kalahari desert. Ah, but fear not because Les is the best. Not only does he survive, but he does it with humility and a love for nature.
