What the hell happened to Les Stroud? Survivorman used to give me romantic feels, now he just whines about greenpeace stuff, what to frick??? Old age dementia? I guess one should never trust a canadian, "the first country to embrace multiculturalism". Pretty dissapointing I have to say, seeing my teenage idol turn red.

i lost track of him sometime around all his skwautch nonsense a couple years ago
>>
He's still doing new episodes of survivor man.
>>
>>661433
I've always seen him as a businessman. He does what his audience wants. Can't say I'm disappointed, but I wish he did the thing that made him a celebrity. The bigfoot series was bullshit.

>He's still doing new episodes of survivor man.
I hope he is.

Not that this has anything to do with Les Stroud, but Cody Lundin is filming a new TV show by himself. He was on some radio show, Art Bell, I think, and he said he's been filming since he got fired by NG.

He still has the potential to be the next great Dick Proenneke.
>>
>>661433
He is even more a faggot than he always has been. I saw some recent episode in patagonia. He was whining like a bitch the whole show. His basic advice: Better stay inside because hiking can kill you and only les stroud is smart enough to undertake such dangerous excursions.
>>
Someone post that site that exposes him
>>
>>661470
god I hate this stupid fucking hippie

I'm flipping through channels and I see some show of his, makes a big dramatic scene about getting poison ivy so he hunts down some "good mud" to smear all over his feet only to continue moaning about how treacherous the ground is in appalachia

can someone enlighten me as to why this retard doesn't wear fucking shoes
>>
>>661593
I couldn't disagree less. He's fucking awful. Half of the shit he does is wanky affectation, and it's not even entertaining anyway.
>>
>>661593
He doesn't need. No human does. Your feet will eventually harden up to the point that rocks, twiggs and thorns won't bother you. Biologically if you break it down, humans are warm weather animals where there is no snow (see africa) so there is no biological need for shoes. It's only because humans adapted to colder climates that the need for shoes came about.
>>
>>661593
I see so many people complaining about hippies on here that it's starting to make me curious as to why they irritate so many of you. I've had bad experiences and good experiences with them, depending on the person I was interacting with. What is it that specifically bothers you, aside from the stereotypical naievity or somewhat hypocritical nature of them?
>>
>>661590
He already addressed that in a Facebook post. But don't let that stop you from your doxxing memes
>>
>>661530
Dick Proenke was gay. This is common knowledge.

Common.

Knowledge.

>>661593
>can someone enlighten me as to why this retard doesn't wear fucking shoes
At one time he said it forces him to slow down and look where he is walking to avoid a mechanical injury. When I heard that I also slowed down to some extent and I wear shoes.
>>
>>661794
And then he went on to explain he does it quite often. I'm glad it makes you sperg out though.
>>
>>661797
Over meme.

Yes?, he made you bereve heem.
>>
>>661454
the new episodes are awful
he spends the entire time walking
never gathers supplies or build's a shelter,
generally, he just "finds" unlocked cabins
>>
I saw some of the newer episodes and he literally had full blown backpacking gear with him, just minus some food.

>pot and pan
>fishing tackle
>knife, axe
>extra clothes

What the fuck is he trying to prove? If you go into the woods with 60lbs of gear, you will probably not starve to death in a couple days?

What happened to the old episodes, where he had to improvise with his environment?

I want to see him slurping on slime, not boiling water in a Kleen Kanteen on a ferro-rod fire.
>>
>>662066
He's a smart guy. His show is targeted to kids and young adults with no attention span or interest in real survival. They just want to buy fancy survival gear and build survival packs, then go /out/ to test them or just fantasize about "surviving".

He does things on tv that are suitable for his audience.

>>662030
>generally, he just "finds" unlocked cabins
In one episode he "found" a cabin stocked with tons of firewood, but it was too damp and dirty for him so he decided to sleep outside under a tarp. Some extreme survival indeed.
>>
>>662066
Because he did that for years. He's been in tons of climates and done the whole deal with little to no gear.

It wouldn't be any better to go back to the boreal forest and do the same shit again. He's just trying something new. Like when he brought his kid along for like 2 episodes and quickly realized he had no interest in survival.
>>
>>662066
sound like a more realistic approach to me

slurping slime for shock value is not really that educational
>>
>>661790
>Dick Proenke was gay
fuck off
>>
>>663781
>real survival.

yeah cause a stainless steel container and a $5 firesteel are fancy. les is more legit than you will ever be. get fucked faggot.
>>
>>661433
Survivorman season 7 just finished in Dec, so he's still going and doing his thing, this season was different and definitely felt more commercial but I can't say I blame him. At least it's a new angle and he's giving the bigfoot nonsense a rest (as much as I did enjoy watching that season). That bring a fan episode felt really incomplete though.
>>661590
You mean that page that said his timeline of that high desert episode didn't add up?
>>
>>661790
possible but more likely asexual. whatever the case, it has little bearing on his abilities as an outdoorsman.
>>
>>663803
Ya. His tv production had definitely changed but I still have respect for the guy. Watch his old stuff and see the knowledge he has as a survivalist.
>>
>>661433
Seems to me like caring about the environment goes pretty hand in hand with being an outdoorsman. I don't understand what your deal is. Go get your romantic feels from Bear Grylls I guess.
>>
>>664050
I definitely respect him as well. I've seen all through the seasons, maybe missing a few episodes. The production quality never really matters to me. Have a look at the guys resume and back story. It's insane what he's accomplished.
>>
>>664052

Caring about the environment? He literally supports the most radical splinters of Greenpeace, those people who are using environmentalism as business to get government money and spread their left wing agenda. Like Sea Shepherd.

>muh whaling

Those Sea Shepherd faggots cry and cry about it, but have you ever looked into that yourself? Faroese do it because they are hardy traditionalist folk and it is their tradition, they whale so little that the population of pilot whales in the Atlantic is constantly increasing. I cannot comprehend how being an outdoorsman can lead to a left wing ideology, on the contrary, nature is the ultimate fascist. Survival of the fittest, defence of your own kind, it illuminates the only natural form of human organisation- collective patriarchal monogamy. That is nationalsocialism. Burn in hell with your cosmopolitan world nomad junk.

>Survival of the fittest, defence of your own kind, it illuminates the only natural form of human organisation- collective patriarchal monogamy. That is nationalsocialism.
National Socialism isn't survival of the fittest though, it's artificial selection.
Survival of the fittest means you can leave everything alone and the best will naturally do better. Eugenics applies human logic to predetermine which traits are best and selectively breed them
>>
>>664168

So you're saying human logic is somehow removed from nature and using it defies nature? And is concious human choice to mix races more natural then? Isn't the choice to "leave it alone" one determined by logic too? I don't get this idea that everything humans do is not part of nature. Hurr plastic is unnatural.
>>
>>664133
And here comes the /pol guy who has to make everything me vs the leftists.
>>
I just assumed he was taking a more "take it easy" approach to the new episodes because going out with zero shit over and over is probably pretty physically and mentally straining.
>>
>>664222

I have never ever lurked /pol/
>>
>>664256
You should, its a a good laugh and alot of face palming
>>
>>664256
Don't worry anon, I believe you.

You're not a /pol/ poster, you're just our new local troll. You post the same rhetoric and phrases all over the board to try and get a rise out if people. You don't even believe any of it.
>>
If you don't want to see stupid shit about green peace and sea Shepard stay off Twitter I guess ? I have consumed a lot of Les Stroud content over the years and never was faced with environmental politics coming from him.
>>
>>664271
I live in Alaska and one of the Rainbow Warrior ships (green peace) entered our waters without an oil spill plan. The coast guard caught them and took them to court. There answer to the charge "um... That's not our boat". I shit you not. They lost.
>>
>>664507
OK.
>>
>>664620
giid one bro. fucking nerd ass alaskan tyring to humble brag or some shit. this thread is about the fraud that les stroud is. i guess they dont teach reading in alsaka.
>>
>>664648
Hey, I got something for ya.

>(You)

I hope ya like it.
>>
>>664270

American comprehension of political ideologies is indeed silly.

>>664271

I've been on this board for two years... Makes me angry seeing all the hippies getting more and more defensive anout their beliefs when they face the reality they created, unable to admit their ideas are poisonous.
>>
>>664921
You should get /out/ more, spending time in nature helps relieve stress.
