I love Les Stroud but I hate how he latched onto that hoaxer whackjob Todd Standing, the guy who comes out with high quality videos of sasquatch faces in tree branches. They're not moving, it's not full-body, it's just their face, and they're not doing anything besides blinking. He's got two videos like that of just a face in the trees, and then several more where he claims the sasquatches are attacking him, but they're "just out of camera view", where he's freaking out and waving a torch around, screaming like an idiot.
I just feel like Les could do a lot better. He's got some compelling footage of weird stuff happening at his solo campsites, and I fully believe his story of what happened when he was filming the Survivorman Alaska episode. Les is legit, he has no reason to make shit up, but Todd Standing is an absolute fraud.
I wouldn't say he latched on. Maybe the directors commentaries provide more of that background than the actual episode, but he'd often call Todd out if he would say, matter of factly, that something was most definitely Saskquatch, and he didn't appreciate that sort of thing when trying to make an objective, more investigative film.
At the time, I imagine Todd was one of the more available resources Les had, so at least it was somewhere to start.
