SEASON 1 - SYNOPSIS

No videogames, no Internet, no food court... no kidding! This is real. Survive This challenges youth to push their limits, overcome their fears and develop lifelong survival skills. Hosted by Les Stroud (Survivorman), Survive This tests endurance, wit and self-determination.

Les Stroud sends eight teenagers aged 14 to 17 to Survival School and then thrusts them into various survival challenges over the course of 13 episodes. After Stroud gives the group some direction, they are left to their own devices to build a shelter, find food, water, and make fire… all while exposed to the harsh North American wilderness. The challenges get more and more demanding as the series progresses, forcing the group to be innovative and courageous, applying the skills that Stroud taught them. After each survival challenge Stroud asks the group: "Who wants out?" This gives each teen the opportunity to end his or her journey and head back to the comforts of home.

Les challenges the eight participants physically, emotionally and mentally – placing them in situations of intense pressure where their lives are put on the line. The result? Emotions run wild, alliances form and conflicts erupt as the participants get to know each other. From a dramatic start to a powerful finish, the participants learn that if they can make it through this, they can make it through anything!

Survive This is the journey of a lifetime. It’s the ULTIMATE wilderness adventure that changes the lives of eight teenagers forever.
