Les Stroud's Survivorman

Costa Rica Part 1

Survival expert Les Stroud 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 minimal gear, Stroud documents every moment of his experience using a self-operated camera system, making it one of the most authentic survival series ever made.

Costa Rica Part 1

Season 1 Episode 3 | 26m 46s | CC

A Costa Rican getaway – as far removed from everyday living as you can imagine: lush rainforests and deserted tropical beaches. Marooned on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, Les Stroud must cope with deadly snakes, enormous spiders, land-crabs and scorpions, on top of keeping hydrated in the intense humidity and relentless heat.
