Bear Grylls. British Special Forces man, adrenaline junkie, and survival expert on Discovery Channel's "Man Vs Wild." Bear is a survivor and actually teaches others some basic survival techniques as well as stuff most people may not think of if they were stranded in a desert, jungle, isle of the sea, the arctic or swamp. Bear has had things on the barbie like rattle snakes, mice, skunks, and eaten countless grubs, worms, vegetation, et al.

Right O chap! I think though by doing the extreme he hopes we will just do the obvious and not limit our thinking. I would trust myself to Bear with no crew. I love Dick Cheney, think he should run for Prez. However, I would not hunt with him, ever!
Agreed. In survival mode I suppose garbage can be your best friend. Les Stroud showed that in Survivor Man. Damn near got killed it seems hauling all that camera in himself.
I have heard him say thanks to the crew and locals on occasion. He even thanked his camera man for getting him out of a jam. He is an expert, not God. I think he is genuine. Bear vs. Palin Alaska! I would watch that show eating my maggot pizza and skinning a moose.
I always bring up the movie "Alive" when I fly to other passengers. Makes them feel real comfortable.
Bear had one episode where he featured the camera crew. Big kudos to them for doing everything he does AND doing it while wrangling big cameras & gear, and for him for featuring them at least once.
It’s the only episode I watched. The prospects of watching him drink his own piss for no good reason is just revolting.
The behavior that gives me the greatest “pucker factor” is when he decides to squeeze down into a cave where the only light he has is a torch that will burn for just a few minutes, there is no indication that an outlet exists and once going down, there is no way to get back the way you came.
In real life, that kind of risk will get you killed probably 99 times out of 100!
Labradoodle.
Now in order to eat fat loud mouthed lesbian you must be very skillful in catching it. It spews profanity that would make prisoners blush. I have some parachute cord with me and a knife. Here we go.....
Why is Jake Gyllenhall on the season premiere? Is he the food source in case Bear gets really lost or are they testing a Brokeback Wilderness theme?
I am not touching that one.
Yeah,
I like that Bear thinks outside the box, but realistically I am not jumping off a cliff or going in a cave. But I will think on a way to try to survive.
And a common house cat!
Bear is first and foremost a survivalist capitalist. He ain’t on Discovery for his mum.
Are you stating that he is following in the path of the late Steve Irwin?
Yes. Appropriate clothing, some food, water container, lighter, knife or better yet multi tool and let someone know where the hell you are going before embarking and always take a buddy.
I need to check them out. Always carry an IPod or MP3 player. At least you will die to some music out there until the battery dies. You can then eat it.
How about a baby seal with big brown eyes.
