For this episode, Les Stroud goes to the dogs — literally. Our intrepid Survivorman relies on seven Inuit sled dogs (Labrador huskies) to pull his dog sled into the wilds of Labrador. He embarks on this dangerous journey at the tail end of winter, when the weather is the most unpredictable.
Episode 5: Alaska
This time Survivorman decides to demonstrate survival by sea kayak in an ocean bay called Taroka Arm (literally "black bear") for good reason. At this time of year, the salmon are active and are one of the black bear's favorite foods. Black bear and grizzlies that live in this area are among the largest in the world and gorge themselves on the silver salmon during this period.
