Best known as star of the highly-acclaimed hit TV series Survivorman on The Discovery Channel, Les Stroud continues to forge new pathways as a prolific, creative force. He has more than twenty years experience as a naturalist, outdoor adventurer and instructor in survival, white water paddling,
sea kayaking, hiking, dog sledding and winter travel.
In 2000 Stroud took a few small cameras out into the wilderness of Northern Ontario, Canada and spent a week surviving alone without food, water, equipment or camera crew. He single-handedly created, produced, wrote, filmed, hosted, edited and composed the theme music for these first two original, one-hour pilots for what would eventually become the Survivorman series. He remains the only producer in the history of television to produce an internationally broadcast series entirely written, videotaped
and hosted alone.

Combining his love for the outdoors and his skills as a filmmaker, Stroud has appeared in and/or produced numerous television specials including hosting the twentieth anniversary of Discovery Channel's Shark Week.
His documentary film Snowshoes and Solitude, about the
year he and his wife spent living in the remote Boreal Forest
of Northern Ontario, has won numerous independent awards.
