''Survivorman'' is a Canadian-produced television program, broadcast in Canada on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN), and internationally on Discovery Channel and Science Channel. The show has aired 7 seasons and 4 specials in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2015. The title refers to the host of the show, Canadian filmmaker and survival expert Les Stroud, who uses survival skills and knowledge to survive alone for up to ten days (seven days during the first three seasons and ten days during seasons four and five), in remote locales where he brings with him little or no food, water, or equipment. According to the show's website, each location was scouted and pre-planned extensively by Stroud and his team who consulted with survival specialists and natives of each area. The fact that Stroud is not accompanied by a production crew and performs the filming himself is a major focus of the show. ==Production== During the videotaping of each episode, Stroud is alone and operates all the cameras himself, while his support team monitors him from a distance. He is equipped with only his clothes, camera equipment, his harmonica, a multi-tool, and often "everyday items" relevant to the episode's particular survival situation or locale. For safety purposes, Stroud carries an emergency satellite phone and normally has daily radio contact with his support crew that was always within rescue range.〔http://www.lesstroud.ca/survivorman/episodes.php#s3e3 Survivorman official website – Season 3 Episode 3.〕 However, Stroud has stated that while videotaping several episodes, there were times when his emergency phone did not work, leaving him totally alone〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ask Survivorman )〕 and has mentioned his concern that his rescue crew may become stranded with him. On a few occasions, Stroud has also been provided with a rifle for safety reasons or as part of the survival situation; in the first season episode "Canadian Arctic", the local experts he consulted insisted that because of polar bears they would not let him go without a rifle. ''Survivorman'' can be considered a sequel or spin-off to Stroud's earlier project, ''Stranded'', a five-part series that was shown on the Canadian Discovery Channel in 2001. Stroud stopped videotaping ''Survivorman'' after the third season due to what he described as the significant physical toll of videotaping each episode. As of 2012, reruns from the first three seasons are still broadcast on OLN and Discovery. On November 23, 2011, Stroud's official website announced the show would be returning for a series of specials in which he would "up the ante" by surviving alone in ten-day stretches, three more days than in the original episodes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Survivorman official website – Survivorman Returns! )〕 Part one of the first hour-long special was broadcast on June 30, 2012, on OLN.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Survivorman Returns on OLN )〕 It was announced that Stroud would be producing another Survivorman season for OLN to be aired in April/May 2015. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Survivorman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
