Stroud is a market town and civil parish in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It is the main town in Stroud District.
Situated below the western escarpment of the Cotswold Hills at the meeting point of the Five Valleys, the town is noted for its steep streets, independent spirit and cafe culture. The Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounds the town, and the Cotswold Way path passes by it to the west.
Although not formally part of the town, the parishes of Rodborough and Cainscross lie adjacent to Stroud and are often considered part of it.
Stroud acts as a centre for surrounding villages and small market towns including Amberley, Bisley, Chalford, Dudbridge, Dursley, Minchinhampton, Nailsworth, Oakridge, Painswick, Sheepscombe, Slad, Stonehouse, Thrupp and Woodchester.
Stroud is known for its involvement in the Industrial Revolution. It was a cloth town; woollen mills were powered by the small rivers which surge through the five valleys, and supplied by Cotswold sheep which grazed on the hills above. Particularly noteworthy was the production of military uniforms in the colour Stroudwater Scarlet. The area was made home by a sizable Huguenot community in the 17th century, fleeing persecution in Catholic France, followed by a significant Jewish presence in the 19th century, linked to the tailoring and cloth industries.
Les Stroud (born October 20, 1961) is a Canadian survival expert, filmmaker and musician best known as the creator, writer, producer, director, cameraman and host of the television series Survivorman. After a short career behind the scenes in the music industry, Stroud became a full-time wilderness guide, survival instructor and musician based in Huntsville, Ontario. Stroud has produced survival-themed programming for The Outdoor Life Network, The Discovery Channel, The Science Channel, and YTV. The survival skills imparted from watching Stroud's television programs have been cited by several people as the reason they lived through harrowing wilderness ordeals.

A light-hearted, wry look at life in and around the rural Cotswold town of Stroud, Gloucestershire (UK), and some of the people who live and work there. This video was made by local folk/country/rock band Wilderspin, as a result of a report by the BBC's Country File program earlier this year, where they managed to find some slightly 'odd' examples of our local residents. Originally this video was intended to be an attempt to prove Country File wrong.....but sadly, they seem to have hit the nail bang on the head. So yes, we're all a bit bonkers, but we're proud of it. It's meant to be fun...please don't be offended if you find yourself somewhere in one of the video scenes. For those that are interested in the music, there is also a studio video of the band, in the recording studi...
Video #3 Todd Standing Bigfoot video as seen in 2nd Survivorman Bigfoot with Les Stroud Credit: Discovery A Canadian group dedicated to researching the existence and behaviors of the cryptozoological creature known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch claims to have incontrovertible evidence of the creature's existence. Todd Standing of the Bigfoot group called Sylvanic claims to have been observing a group of these creatures living in the Banff wilderness area. More extraordinarily, he claims to have photos and even videos of the creatures than are clearer than anything else ever seen, inclding the famed Patterson-Gimlin film. Needless to say, many are skeptical of these claims and the photos that have been released such as the one above. What do you think? Deliberate hoax? Misidentification? ...

It is difficult to believe that this lively, cosmopolitan city is under constant threat from earthquake, the only rumble being that of the famous cable cars as they vie up and down the city's hilly roads.

Built in 1776, San Francisco's first stone building, Mission Dolores, still stands today.

Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time.
Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake,
you're an actor forgetting your lines.
You were a star when you started,
so bright eyed and ready but now you just can't seem to shine.
Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.
But can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young.
There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame,
you can never out-run them,
they're part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can't change,
stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews,
yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic
when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes
but can work up the nerve to be critics.
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids?
Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart.
Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control.
It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black,
useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues,
stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss
or the future you hoped for when we were still kids
trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world?
