Survivalist Les Stroud has spent decades teaching people how to stay alive in the wilderness. Now, Ping Pong and National Geographic are flipping the script. On ‘Alaska’s Grizzly Gauntlet’ Les faces his toughest challenge yet – exploring the world of Alaska’s most formidable wildlife, the Kodiak bear, and uncovering their survival tactics. The Kodiak Bear, Caribou, Black Bear, Moose and Polar Bear call 650,000 square miles of windswept tundra, Arctic glaciers, rolling great plains and vast mountain ranges their home.  Each species has its own special survival skills that it has perfected over millennia.  Each creature has had to adapt or die.  Les puts his own life on the line, imbedding himself in the heart of grizzly country without any help from the outside world, to learn their secrets.
