Hello all,

It is with great excitement that I finally send out a current newsletter.

Survivorman is back in action!  In just under one week I will be flying to the Amazon jungle in Ecuador to do the first shoot of the new season. It has taken quite a while to get to this stage but I, along with my production partner Dave Brady and our production team are thrilled to be in the middle of a ridiculously hectic schedule right now, ramping up the activities for Survivorman.

And don’t worry – same set up – just me – alone with only my camera gear. But the locations have become a bit more exotic. Along with the Amazon – I am expecting to go to the Australian Outback, the African desert – the African bushland, the Alaskan coast and the rough scoured rock of northern Labrador.

One extra we are hoping to include this time, will be my live journal updates to a blog from location so you can follow my progress as it happens! www.lesstroudonline.com/blog

I have been overwhelmed by the support and encouragement from viewers throughout the world. I have emails from Russia, Hungary, UK….all over! So stay tuned…log onto my website at www.lesstroudonline.com - first show should be on air late February 2007. Don’t forget you can get ready for the new season by ordering a copy of the entire first season of Survivorman through my web site.

Watch OLN in Canada this November 28th at 8PM for my ninety minute special; Off The Grid with Les Stroud. It follows our trials of becoming a family dedicated to self sufficiency with a love for a life close to nature.

And finally – the Northern Pikes and I are finished recording a debut CD under the name; Stroud and the Pikes. We hope to get that available as downloads ASAP.

Take care and stay tuned for the live Survivorman blog!

Les
