Les really sounds like he's getting off the grid... (Too busy making big bucks to enjoy his cabin in the woods... ) From his web journal: To add to my delays has been the fantastic success of Survivorman south of the border. It has become the highest rated show in the history of The Science Channel (just, by-the-way, as it has become the most popular show here in Canada on OLN). Then the Discovery Channel (US) chopped it into half hour versions and aired it on the main Discovery Channel and once again the ratings are fantastic. A short while ago it was the highest rated show of the night surpassing Myth Busters – and this, even though many viewers are frustrated that they can’t see the whole hour if they don’t have the Science Channel. (Frustrated in that good kind of way that they just want to see more!). So……as a result of all that I have been busy for the past month or more: A) guest hosting on a series for Discovery US called ‘I Shouldn’t Be Alive – part 2 – The Science of Survival) – (shot in Colorado and England where they put me in a chamber and did hypothermia and frostbite testing on me). B) Hosting a series of vignettes for Discovery US/Disney about surviving Mount Everest for a documentary they produced about Disney’s new ride Expedition Everest. This is what I am returning from right now. C) Preparing to shoot a one-hour special I created called Urban Disaster Survival about what to do in a situation like New Orleans (shooting mid-March) D) Preparing to secure a second run of Survivorman (OLN is already happily on board for a second season) E) Developing a new series called ‘Stroud’s Legends’ F) Trying hard to get back to finishing a new CD I am recording with Canadian hit makers ‘The Northern Pikes’. G) Negotiating with a major publishing company for a book series on Survivorman, Off The Grid and more. H) oh yeah – did I mention building our cabin in the woods??
