Merged Les Stroud's bigfoot show?

Please enlighten me.
Are these laws and regulations Provincial or Federal or both?

Please provide links to the laws and regulations you are referring to - especially to the ones concerning "filming a television show for a cable channel in protected areas."

edit: Oh, while you are at it - you might as well post links to the pertinent laws and regulations of the United States and other countries he has filmed in as well.

Hey, I am quoting you twice in a row, superstar!

Two dead giveaways you are working with a manipulator in that post of his. First, the pre-denial: "Not to call you out...[followed by calling you out]"

A pre-denial means they deny the very thing they are about to do, and it is so automatic in a manipulator that you can count on it as an announcement of their intentions.

Second, asking a question "are you aware of safety laws" instead of making the positive statement that there are safety laws. Whenever the positive statement is a lie, we insinuate with a question instead. We hope to bluff with the insinuation.

Bigfoot hunter Todd Standing has pitched many skeptics on the legendary primates, but perhaps none tougher than the Survivorman.

For two weeks this past fall, Standing and TV’s Les Stroud combed the deep brush in the Kootenays and a central Alberta hamlet for a new series in search of the elusive beast.

Down the rabbit hole or out for $$$$? You make the call
While careful not to leak any show secrets, Standing claims there were sightings to back-up what he’s asserted for a decade.

“It gets to the point where he (Stroud) looks at me and says, ‘That’s real.’”

We'll have to wait until March for the big reveal. Seems familiar.
 
I like Les Stroud. I've said it before, but when Les Stroud comes, Bear Grylls hides. I dont' doubt there isn't some fluff material in there, as it invariably shows up in any sort of pseudoreality show, but it's quite thin where it exists.

That being said, if the Survivorman turns footer on me, I'll take 'em off my DVR.
 
^^ Ditto here. Been a fan of Les for a few years now, but if he endorses belief in bigfoot, then I will lose quite a bit of respect for him.

Sorry.

That’s right, you heard it here first, Les Stroud believes in Bigfoot! If you’ve never listened to the program before, you won’t regret checking out the audio above to hear the entirety of our interview with this fascinating, and extreme, man

Bigfootman?

And if he has indeed gone down the rabbit hole, he has joined the ranks of the habituators, the hoaxers, the knowers and the hangers-on. The fringiest of the fringe.

Or he's in it for the ratings.

Just another poseur hearing sounds and pretending that he knows every sound that every animal could possibly make.
Then - in typical loser liar bigfooter fashion - he huddles in his piss-stained fear and refuses to even go and look for tracks or other sign when it gets light.

Anyone who thinks that Les Stroud has a fricken' clue about the bush needs to only read this direct quote from the interview to understand what a loser he really is. "Todd Standing is a real cool gentleman."
 
You wouldn't catch Ray Mears doing that sort of stuff. Not seen much of Les Stroud, though, I did see a Youtube video where he recalls his apparently "close" encounters with what he insinuates could might just maybe be a Bigfoot, probably, or something. I can't remember who's interviewing him, but it's a radio-show and they were drinking Guinness, which I thought was rather apt, seeing as I tend to talk bollocks after a few of those an'all.

If this has been mentioned earlier in the thread, I apologize.

While I enjoy most aspects of Survivorman, Les Stroud is no stranger to silly beliefs. There was a Q/A floating around, I think on his official site lesstroud.ca, that I can no longer find for some reason. I found the question and answer I remembered, however, in a thread on skeptic's guide to the universe (http://sguforums.com/index.php?topic=16218.0)

Q: Have you ever really injured yourself when filming?


A: (Les Stroud) Injuries while filming Survivorman are a regular occurrence for me, but nothing too serious. The worst was when I contracted a parasite. It wreaked havoc with my insides — in particular my mouth — for the better part of a year. I tried to cure it homeopathically, but in the end I had to give in and use the "kill-everything-in-your-system" kind of drug. This would make the second time I've been hit hard by a nasty parasite from the wilds.

In Survivorman and Beyond Survival Les routinely talks about spirits and demons uncritically. He also claims many plants have medicinal qualities that have very little evidence in their favor.

Les believing in bigfoot does not surprise me.
 
It seems that the excitement reported by those that have seen this episode is around a huge tree structure they found and a whoop that was returned. So either Todd Standing is hoaxing Les or they are both in on it ( including whatever group is producing the show).
 
Watching it online right now while eating my lunch at my desk. I'm only at 2:55 and I want to stop the fiasco already.

(Paraphrasing) The creature known, scientifically, as Gigantopithecus....thousands of anecdotes and confirmed DNA are still not enough to prove this creatures existence.


wow


Les has jumped the Squatch
