As far as hiking buddies go, Barack Obama and Bear Grylls make for an unlikely pairing. Grylls is a TV outdoorsman with a flair for drama and a propensity for drinking his own urine. Obama is cerebral and stolidly even-keeled, and, you know, the president of the United States.
Nevertheless, the strange duo is slated for some bonding Tuesday while hiking the Exit Glacier, a south Alaskan river of ice that has shrunk by 1.25 miles in recent decades. They have no plans to drink urine, Grylls has confirmed, and the adventurer’s usually madcap exploits will be scaled down to “interesting,” in the words of White House press secretary Josh Earnest.
Instead, they’ll talk climate change while testing Obama’s survival skills under the watchful eye of the Secret Service. The whole trip will be taped and will air on Grylls’s NBC show “Running Wild” later this year.

girlie man
noun
A male who is wimpy or soft; a male who likes to participate in activities or events thought to be mainly feminine:
He also has the good sense not to pull the kind of stunts that Grylls does that would get himself killed. I’ve also seen Survivor Man pull out when it’s clear he’s endangering himself.
I saw one episode of Grylls in northwest Namibia (Skeleton Coast) and further inland - an area I’ve spent a great deal of time and am quite familiar with. An unaided, unsupplied person is guaranteed to die - no water, not even a blade of grass, no birds, maybe an occasional beetle to eat. Temps range daily from the 30s to over 100, there’s no wood to build a fire, and nothing to build a shelter from. Miles of plains covered with rocks the size of baseballs - no soil, just rocks. Did I mention the wind? Constant 20 or 30 mph so unvarying that every stone is scoured into an aerodynamic shape. A 90 pound Bushman who’s lived off the land all of his life with nothing more than a thong and a stick would die in a week and here’s old Bear Grylls romping along like it was a park. He may have been a squared away commando at some point, now he’s just a fake.
Les Stroud of Survivorman is the real deal.
Obama has had is mouth around numerous urine distribution tubes so this show should be easy and enjoyable for him. I bet he could take this even further and ingest some poo without any issues.....
This could turn into a great movie called “ Broke Back Grylls “ Staring the fudge packer and chief president oreo.
I hope Bear puts a ham in Obama’s backpack and a real bear eats him.
Hmm..Wonder if they are already helping each other pack their sh!t?
I think I’ll pass, Bear Girls.
He probably had to mute the sound of the trucks on the highway.
Well...at least he doesn’t eat DOG!
That well scene where he went down 50 ft using two sticks was among the worst.
Notice my tagine.
More global warning agitprop to be broadcast into your homes
He’s an imported faker from Great Britain but fakery has paid off for him ...Internet lists his net worth at 10 million
Bug hunting, cum sucking Obama is the perfect match.
Les Stroud (Survivorman) is real. Bear Grylls is a pinup idol.
There’s a scene of him in a lava field. He’s acting like it’s dangerous and remote. He’s about a half mile from a busy highway. YouTube has plenty.
Obies clearly been drinking Panther whizz since he was a kid...thereby taking on the “powers”....of same.
