Alaska's Grizzly Gauntlet

Kodiak Kings

44min - These magnificent beasts are bigger, tougher and stronger than even the Grizzly and Les observes up close the secrets to their survival. It’s the dying days of Fall and the Kodiaks are racing to ready themselves for their long hibernation. It’s at this crucial time that the bears compete for the remaining Salmon so they can survive the long Winter sleep.

Ice Bear Siege

44min - For many years, it’s been the home to the Inupiat people, and Polar Bears. With the advent of climate change, the bears are spending more time on the island while they wait for the ice to arrive. In this dramatically changing environment, they must adapt to survive and Les investigates how they’re doing this and what the future brings for these formidable predators.

Arctic Soldiers

44min - With their ability to move at speeds up to 50mph, Les has his work cut out for him in keeping up with the beasts that are perfectly adapted to this extreme environment. They also use strength in numbers and strategy to stay ahead of the game, and Les must outsmart them if he’s to get close enough to study their survival skills.

Salmon Slaughterhouse

44min - Stroud embeds himself in the Alaskan Wild for a close-up look at the survival skills of black bears. The highly intelligent bears prove to be elusive as they prepare for the coming winter amid the last days of salmon spawning season. Les’ discovery of the bears’ feeding grounds--“The Salmon Slaughterhouse”--puts him on track for a close-encounter with these majestic beasts.

Moose Ambush

44min - Survivalist Les Stroud gets up close and personal with moose in the Alaskan Interior, about 70 miles northeast of Fairbanks, to learn their survival techniques and how they get through surviving the Alaskan wilderness. The hunters have pushed the moose back in the interior where they can hide from the wolves and the bears and the hunters.
