In 2006, Stroud produced a 90-minute special documenting his family's journey to building an off-the-grid home. The show, "Off the Grid with Les Stroud", chronicled the process of buying property and refitting an old farm house with solar and wind power, a raincatcher and well, as well as the adjustments the Stroud family had to make to adapt to this style of living. Stroud has made multiple television appearances including on "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson", "The View", "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", and "Larry King Live".
