bear grylls is a force to be reckoned with. at 23, he was entered into the guiness book of world records as the youngest, and one of only around 30, british climbers to climb mount everest and return alive. 23?!?! are you freaking kidding me? when i was 23, i was ...hmm...well, i can't even remember anything nearly as daring as that entering my mind. whether you watch his show, "man vs. wild" or not, or read his books,..you have to respect his fearlessness with nature. he is a karate black belt, and spent 3 years in the british special air service. he survived and rehabilitated himself after breaking his back in 3 places after a free-fall parachuting accident in africa. i'm sure he's suffered other injuries in his years as well, but this guy just doesn't give up.
i am obsessed with the show "man vs. wild". it's annoying how bear is taking flack for being fake on the show, because he travels with a camera crew etc. first of all, the camera crew helps to capture the moments and crazy views, which makes the show so enjoyable and exciting! i've watched episodes of his "competition", les stroud on "survivorman" and he claims to be doing it all himself. well, that's great and all, but what he doesn't realize is that watching his own, little scraggly camera view, of him getting screwed over for warmth because he decided to set up shelter at the bottom of a mountain, is BORING! his personality lacks, and though he is a canadian, and a great survivor, for entertainment value, it just doesn't compare. plus, let's face it. even reality tv shows aren't real..it's all edited, or scripted! les stroud spends 7 days in his destinations with no help, but the episodes aren't 7 days long. there's always editing and who-knows-what behind the scenes. bear still teaches many life saving tricks and tips, and does it in a more amusing way. not to mention his variety of surroundings are definitely more exciting and extreme than the destination choices of mr.stroud. you never know what bear will eat: rotting zebra, dead frogs, snakes or even draining water out of elephant poo to stay hydrated. i mean, come on!
in all honesty, i must say, bear is easy on the eyes. and i do have a crush on him haha, but i also think he is a very entertaining, ultimate survivor. i love "man vs. wild". my bf surprised me with season one last year and now season two is out, and so if it's not too early to start thinking of christmas presents...haha..
i also read on the internet that he has confirmed yukon as a destination shoot. though, it didn't confirm a date. but that is awesome, and if you know me, you'll know why.
now, if you'll excuse me, i must go accompany mr. grylls for a toast.(ha, i wish!)

Nice blog there,
I have watched this show before and he is quite good and I do like it a lot. So the one episode that stands out to me was when he was in the desert (which probly does not narow it down) but this one was when he went into the quick sand which he could have died from and before he went into it he knew it was quicksand he was not just like oh i am going to walk over there oh fuck i am stuck in quick sand NO! he was like over there is some quick sand and I am going to go in there to show how to get out of it incase you ever come cross some quick sand and I can die which means my gorgous body will be imbeded under the hot desert possabley with other bodies under there (that creeps me out) so yea he went in and then came out which led to him taking off his shirt which then led me hoping he would stumble into more quick sand (with out that death though) and then he found some live frog and ripped his beating out of its body with his teeth and ait it that made me sad and he also dug for water in the sand.
So yea the whole film crew thing also sucks but come on you have to have a film crew with you to be effective and I don't like the other guy because he sets up all this own cameras and it is stupid becuase he films him self going up the mountin and then he will have to go back down the montin to get his camera and then go back up it again so it cannot be to doing it twice. So yea that is just stupid! Also he is like always in the Pondmills woods where nothing goes on or just in some winter place where melts snow and drinks it no fun with that.
NICE BLOG JESSICA!!!!
Yeah.... I guess He's pretty good and all..... But who can't climb mount everest at 23? i mean common, piece of cake.
Although, I'll give him some credit for eating all those disgusting things.
Ohh, he's happily married too... lol
yeah man! he eats things ten times worse than andouille! you'd never make it..don't be jealous
hehe
