Bear Grylls - Man vs. Wild


Have you ever seen "Man vs. Wild?"

This is a Discovery Channel show and it features Edward Michael "Bear" Grylls being placed in untapped and uninhabited areas and he's forced to find civilization (Yukon, Belize, Dominican Republic, and Transylvania).

I've read a few blogs and articles talking about how he could be a fraud during his expeditions. Maybe...possible. It's clear that he has a cameraman following him, but lets just say this ain't just a cameraman, this guy has swam in freezing cold water in dark caves, and braved rapids with Bear. Les Stroud who is on "Survivorman" does not have a cameraman, but he does not try to get out of the area, he merely survive it.

Now some of the stuff he does is absolutely insane. From eating larvae to a dead rotten animals cartilage is just mind blogging (boggling)!! And in one episode he eats a fish, and some bug describing them as "mud" and "more mud," but everything he eats is "life saving." I would personally pass on the rotten animal stuff.

The latest episode has taken him to Transalvania. He eats bear shit, repels over 200+ feet, travels a mile or so in cave, and finally backs flips into a lake.

He's the ultimate "guy's" guy. He can survive pretty much anywhere, kill anything, and eat anything. Bear for President!!!
