SURVIVE THIS

No videogames, no Internet, no food court... no kidding! THIS IS REAL.

In the tradition of the hit series Survivorman, Survive This follows in Les Stroud's footsteps by empowering kids to explore their connection to the wild.

Eight kids between the ages of 14 to 17 are taken into the wilderness with Les Stroud as their mentor. Chosen for their unique personalities and overall adventure readiness, these kids are vying to fulfill a self-determined goal that is both personal and inspiring. They are challenged physically, emotionally and intellectually. Each episode presents a different survival challenge - devised by Les Stroud himself! Over the course of the series, we get to know the kids very well as relationships develop, conflicts erupt and emotions run wild. Les follows them closely and gives them feedback... and don't think he's a softy! After all, Les IS Survivorman, and he knows better than anyone that sometimes when it comes to survival you only get one chance. He'll be looking for that individual who is willing to learn and grow under the most difficult of situations. And yes - these kids do have to survive.

With no big prizes, no secret alliances and most importantly, no voting each other out, all the kids are on this journey for one reason - their own personal exploration. Whether it's facing a fear or simply just proving something to themselves, no one decides, except the individual, if and when they're going to leave. After each challenge the kids are asked "WHO WANTS OUT?"
