About the Show As "Survivorman," Les Stroud spent years surviving some of the most remote locations on earth - alone - while filming himself. In "Beyond Survival with Les Stroud," he learns the tribes' techniques, takes part in their rituals and ceremonies, and discovers the secrets of how these cultures have survived for thousands of years...before they vanish forever. Les has relied on his years of training, raw instincts and sheer will to endure his seven-day challenges. Now, he takes his knowledge deeper, seeking out the true masters of survival: the last indigenous tribes in the most remote corners of the planet.
In this unprecedented new series, Stroud travels to some of the most remote places on the planet to learn techniques rarely shown to people outside these isolated tribes. Steeped in ancient tradition and tribal custom, Stroud journeys to Madagascar to learn the survival techniques of the Antanosy tribe, known for their unique spiritual practices and wild dog hunting skills. He ventures to the Kalahari Desert on a journey to connect with a tribe called the San, who hunt with poison arrows, and practice a legendary trance dance to communicate with the spirit world. And he witnesses a "comoutin" ceremony in Papua New Guinea, practiced by the Hewa people — something no outsider has seen in 40 years.
"I am proud of what I have accomplished with "Survivorman." After years of surviving alone, going without food and sleeping on rocks, it was time to start the next chapter of my survival journey by learning from the few remaining indigenous peoples around the world. These tribes have truly mastered survival in some of the harshest conditions on the planet. Once you have secured the survival of your body, you still have to ensure the survival of your mind and spirit."
