Bear Grylls Man vs Wild

Man vs. Wild is my favorite catch on television on Discovery channel, full of adventure and one hour full packed entertainment.

Bear Grylls is a seasoned adventurer who has served with the Special Air Service, a Special Forces unit of the British army, where he was trained as a survival expert. He knows many techniques and can survive in the wildest environment with his techniques.

His experiences include climbing the all mighty Mount Everest, crossing the freezing North Atlantic Ocean in a small, open boat and climbing a Himalayan peak which is described by Sir Edmund Hillary as 'unclimbable'. He has been to such places and has done unusual thing that would easily defeat a normal person. In each and every episode of Man vs. Wild the host Bear Grylls strands himself in the most popular wildest destinations where tourists often find themselves lost and lose their life without knowing the techniques of the nature to survive.

He has eaten most of the species except humans, showing us how to save our life or how to survive when we are stranded in middle of forest, deserts and mountains.

According to Bear Grylls:
