Survive This! was a reality show that aired on Cartoon Network in 2007, starring survival expert Les Stroud. The show followed a group of eight teenagers as they embarked on a two-day wilderness adventure in remote and challenging locations throughout North America.

The aim of the show was to teach the young participants survival skills that would enable them to procure food, water, and shelter, as well as navigate in a variety of natural environments, such as deserts, forests, and mountains. Throughout the journey, the teenagers were put through a series of physical and mental challenges, from building a shelter with limited resources to identifying wild edible plants and starting a fire without matches.

Les Stroud, also known as Survivorman, was the show's host and mentor. He is a renowned survivalist who has survived in remote locations around the world, largely on his own, for extended periods of time. Stroud brought his extensive knowledge and experience to the show, teaching the participants a range of survival techniques, from finding water in the desert to building a trap to catch food.

Each episode began with the teenagers being dropped off in a remote location with minimal supplies and instructions about their task for the day. They were given specific challenges and were expected to work together as a team to achieve their goals. The challenges ranged from building a makeshift raft to crossing a river to scaling a mountain.

Throughout the challenges, Stroud observed the participants, offering guidance and tips on how to succeed. He also highlighted the importance of working together and keeping a positive attitude, emphasizing that survival is not just about physical strength and knowledge, but also about mental toughness and resilience.

At the end of each episode, the participants were given a grade based on how well they performed in the challenges. The grades were determined by several factors, including the speed and accuracy of completing the task, the creativity used in solving problems, and the overall effectiveness of the team's performance.

The show was designed to be both entertaining and educational. The challenges were designed to be exciting and engaging, while also teaching important survival skills. The participants were not only able to learn from Stroud, but also from each other, as they shared their own knowledge and experiences throughout the journey.

Survive This! was a unique show that combined adventure, education, and teamwork. It not only taught valuable survival skills, but also emphasized the importance of working together and maintaining a positive attitude in difficult situations. The show was a hit with audiences of all ages, and it remains a classic in the genre of survival reality television.

Survive This! is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (26 episodes). The series first aired on June 17, 2009.
